WHAT SO NOT album release party in The Lab LA
WHAT SO NOT's album release party in The Lab LA is an eclectic, genre-defying ride that has us all Shazam-ing furiously, from future bass drops to nostalgic rock edits—because why stick to one BPM when you can have them all? The vibe is celebratory and dynamic, with the LA crowd buzzing over every twist, from emotional crescendos to cheeky samples in a space designed for loud, immersive sound. Technically, this is electronica and future bass with touches of trap and progressive house, averaging 141.1 BPM but spanning 91 to 176 for dramatic effect, often anchored in the anthemic key of 12A. The energy arc is a rollercoaster, blending downtempo moments with high-intensity peaks; mixing is sharp and theatrical, using contrasts to keep us on our toes, with mid-range dominating for melodic impact and highs reserved for climactic drops.
For crate diggers, What So Not & Skrillex's 'Goh' opens with glitchy, bass-heavy energy, while Toto's 'Africa' gets a rework that's both ironic and genuinely moving. Blazy Green's 'Innerbloom (Blazy Remake)' offers a emotional, trance-tinged highlight, and What So Not's 'Beautiful' adds vocal sweetness. RL Grime Vs.
What So Not's 'Tell Me' is a hybrid banger, and 'Jaguar' showcases his signature future bass style, with 'Touched' serving as the melodic, introspective closer. Each track is a statement: 'Goh' for opener punch, 'Africa' for crowd-pleasing nostalgia, 'Innerbloom' for depth, and 'Touched' for finale feels. The journey kicks off with 'Goh', peaks with the euphoric remake of 'Africa', and winds down into 'Touched', a set that celebrates WHAT SO NOT's versatility without taking itself too seriously.
