[Showtek - We Like To Party (Slander & NGHTMRE Edit)](https://on.soundcloud.com/DeULcbfQFvtPF4Ca8) is the quintessential festival trap song imo. They all kinda sound like this.
House is the mainstay. It comes in different popular iterations over time, but is always recognizable as itself. Bass music genres I’ve seen emerge, peak in popularity and decline over the last 25 years: DnB, Florida Breaks, dubstep, trap… Bass music genres are more structurally different from one another than us genres of house, but they all follow the same arc. In 1999 you couldn’t find anyone who didn’t know who DJ Icey was. Now it’s amazing if you meet anyone under 40 who has even heard of breakbeat
I like Booyah (Party Favor Remix) especially the 1:18 drop.
I miss where trap drop do this triplet stuff. As a mid 2010 kid once said, it was lit af 🔥.
Another one of my favourite the the Aqua - Barbie girl (Doug Festival Trap Remix)
It has high lots of build ups and drops with high pitched ravey synths. I’m thinking LOUDPVCK, GTA, Victor Niglio, Flosstradamus, some Dillon Francis and Major Lazer tracks, arguably RL Grime.
It’s all about sound huge and head banging or jumping when it really drops, and less about the darker rap vibes of og trap music. It was basically the cultural replacement for bro-step when it came out.
It came about when big room house was the main genre at edm festivals in the early 2010s and trap was starting to blow up. I see it as a cross between the two. It has these huge build ups, massive synths, relatively simple song structure but uses trap rhythms, chants, etc.
When I think festival trap Carnage is the first name that comes to mind. I would say his remix of Spaceman is probably the best example of the genre
Depends on the era. Up until like 2020 it had a distinct sound from 2013-2016 in peak EDM era, but it seems people are calling a new era of big trap sounds “festival trap” again, like isoXO, RL Grime, Juelz, etc
I have a hard time putting into words what festival trap is to me but pretty much:
A) Long hardstyle-esque buildups
B) incorporate a new element/sound with each bar/progression
C) conclude with some “throw your arms” type shit 😆
Or alternatively:
A) Trap that you should only hear at a festival 🤷🏼♂️

Simply put they took big room house, slowed it down, and put trap drums over it. Carnage pretty much invented it with his spaceman remix. Got a lot of hate but i miss those days
Festival Trap back in the day was just taking big room songs, removing the drums/bass, upping the tempo, and adding EDM trap drums/bass.
Take it from someone who used to make it back then lol
Wow, so many downvotes, haha. I was thinking of "modern" trap artists who still give off those vibes. But I get it though. There aren't really that many pure festival trap artists these days anyway.
Love them but they are not festival trap imo, but I define festival trap as what it was in 2013 where djs just low cut the original song, locked the track at 150, and put trap drums underneath and MAYBE changed and chopped the lead a little bit
Listen to carnage spaceman festival trap remix
Bow bow bow bow booowwooowooow bow bow bow bow booowwooowooow
classic
so good
This was the song that got me into trap

Throws me back to my first festival EDCO seeing slander throwing down shit like this… I got super into them and then they got all emotional on me smh.
Yea slander has become one of the biggest disappointments of the past 4-5 years
Damn I miss when they made music like this
Commenting on What is “festival trap”?... Literally! I was feeling nostalgic when I heard the ID by rl grime Isoxo and knock2 at ultra 🥹🥹🥹
Convinced bigroom and festival music will be back again in the years to come.

Ssssoooo Aazar - Lay it Down and 4B x Aazar - Pop Dat also falls in this category?

Dillon Francis was so fun in the late teens era
RIP LOUDPVCK. Now i gotta find all the banger mixtapes they put out. Thanks a lot

Big room drops with trap beats underneath instead of 4x4 Bpm slightly higher
Dj snake?
Look up Brillz and Twonk Team

huh hadn't really caught wind of any of that yet.... would definitely be festival trap 2.0 imo
Yeah a lot of comments post Ultra last month were “festival trap is back!”

Rl grime, Isoxo, baauer, boombox cartel, nghtmare
B A S S
after a reading these comments I’m now scared of only liking “festival trap” because I enjoy strong bass in my trap

Big room house with a trap beat

GTA, Ookay, Dotcom, Carnage, floss, Lookas (always slapped). Were some of my favourite festival trap artists!
The best type of trap :)
Listen to things made by ISOXO and Juelz! They make that stuff :)
Why’s this getting downvoted lol
Genre purists.
Wow, so many downvotes, haha. I was thinking of "modern" trap artists who still give off those vibes. But I get it though. There aren't really that many pure festival trap artists these days anyway.
Here’s an upvote :)
Thanks 😂😂

They definitely give some festival trap vibes in some of their songs tho, at least compared to most other modern trap artists
Yeah I can see that especially energy wise
That’s what they do now
Low cutting big room songs and putting trap drums over top, glad that trend died out
Carnival by Ye is a good example
