Tiësto Teams Up with Soaky Siren for the Irresistible New Single, 'Tantalizing'
Back-to-back (B2B) sets stand as a true gift to the electronic dance industry. In a realm where rules and limits are scarce, artists bring a unique perspective to their main genres, making B2Bs even more exhilarating. These sets involve two or more artists playing in unison, creating a harmonious blend of their distinct styles. While B2Bs are common to see on lineups (yes, Excision, I’m looking at you), I wanted to explore five B2Bs that have never graced the stage before. Let the imagination flow!
The dream B2B: GRiZ, with his evolving fusion of funk and bass, joining forces with Ganja White Night, true pioneers in the dubstep realm. Beyond bass, they share a love for dance music, with Ganja White Night infusing house into their creations. “Ease Your Mind,” their collaborative effort, offers a glimpse into what this B2B could sound like—a fusion of funk-driven bass drops, melodic instrument-heavy interludes, and a funky drop, all impeccably produced. If this set becomes a reality, count me in from anywhere in the world.
Inspired by their collaboration, “Take Flight,” and its subsequent iterations, this pairing combines Subtronics’ focus on rhythmically complex bass music with Sullivan King’s rock-inspired dubstep featuring monumental drops. Both masters behind the decks, Subtronics and Sullivan King, offer a live experience like no other. If this B2B manifests, expect the venue’s roof to be blown off.
Taking a detour from bass music, this dream B2B promises to make hearts soar and feet dance ceaselessly. “Woke Up In Love,” their collaborative track, provides a taste of what this set could deliver—heartfelt lyrics, impeccable buildups, and outstanding production. Though similar in style, Kygo and Gryffin are masters in their own right, and a B2B would seamlessly blend their musical prowess. Here’s hoping for it to happen soon!
Svdden Death b2b Borgore
While this idea may seem unexpected, the potential impact is undeniable. Svdden Death’s instrumental prowess, complemented by Borgore’s vocal mastery, promises an electrifying experience. Their collaboration, “Svddengore,” offers a sneak peek into the intensity a B2B from these two heavyweights would bring. Svdden Death’s heaviness coupled with Borgore’s lyrical finesse would undoubtedly leave crowds shaken to their core.
Closing our list is an idea that might just come to fruition. Mersiv, known for space bass and wave bass, collaborates with INZO, whose expertise lies in future trap and space bass. Despite their differences, both are exceptionally talented producers whose collaboration is showcased in their joint track—a perfect fusion of their unique sounds. A B2B from Mersiv and INZO promises to leave crowds with minds thoroughly mushed.
In anticipation of these hypothetical yet exciting B2Bs, the electronic dance community remains hopeful for the day these dream sets become a reality. Until then, let the music carry you through the electrifying landscape of possibilities.
