What Are Some Beats Like This?

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I just encountered this Jaguar ad on YouTube and the beat sounds totally badass.

I was hoping it was part of a complete song but discovered it was made specifically for that commercial. So does anyone know of any songs that sound badass like this? Just going for similar vibes.

Another example that gives me that sort of vibe as a frame of reference is the underground night club theme in Blade:

Fun for dancing!

[Rosexøxø]

I almost can’t hear what’s happening 😭 lol

I can’t fit a vibe to this maybe I’m too impatient. It sounds like a drum like but techno version and I can’t like vibe with it

but hearing your previews and the one from the comments I thought of two instantly- for me close to these than I can get and I remember feeling goosebumps a bit in the mission impossible one for the like club scene and the one in johnny English was just funny and I wanted to dance to that one. Most of these kinds I can’t 😆 the movies definitely helped with the vibe for me for some reason.

Now I think it’s close but fact is I can be way off. I have no idea so it’s a blind post and I hope it helps somewhat. lol

beginning for me took too long and it’s been a while since I seen so I forget which part specifically sounded badass to me but when I randomly clicked 2:36 it seemed pretty decent and to pick up. I don't know if you’ll be able to hear all the way through. This should be the one from the movie.

and then this is the second one:

apparently the song from it is called sandstorm? By Darude?

Hopefully these helped! If not, apologies!

[Rosexøxø]

Fun question though 💯

[Rosexøxø]

Wow first part of my response and you can see my brain lag lol for me- it was painful and I was trying to be polite just click the videos! 😆💯

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Nice ones! I like the swelling quality of the first one coming in waves. The second video I couldn't see for some reason. Says it's unavailable on my end. Sandstorm I'm very familiar with from Da Rude! I got that melody stuck in my head now.

[Rosexøxø]

I don't know if this one counts but eh

It’s in there. Some techno tbh

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DWSceMtAjPw

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah! That’s the one! It’s catchy 😆

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I like Kraftwerk! This one might be my favorite from theirs:

[Rosexøxø]

The beginning reminds me of a telegraph and aliens! Strange and Witty combo! I like this 😁

[Anonymous]

It just a preset on countless computer programs.

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah some of it breaks my heart 😆😭

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Those are awesome and pretty much nailed the type of vibe I was looking for, thanks! Yay! 🙌🤝🙌

My favorite is the Carbon Killer one, "The Dark Side of the Road". That sounds badass but also kind of nostalgic and synthwave-ish to me which I always like.

[tremendousfern]

No problem. I'm a big fan of electronic music so this was fun for me to try to answer. If you liked the Carbon Killer song most, try listening to Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, Mega Drive, and Dance with the Dead for similar dark synth vibes. I hear a lot of 80s/90s synth influence in their stuff as well.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

That's awesome! I especially love the hard bass around 1:24. SMASH THROUGH WALLS! 👊👊👊

Original Terminator soundtrack was also awesome to me. I really like this live rendition of it.

[tremendousfern]

Yes! The original terminator theme is great. That live performance is beefy. Love it.

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, that beat is pretty cold.. If you haven't heard of them already (you probably have) you might like "Massive Attack".. Will techno dubstep like beats..

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I like the Angel track from Massive Attack! It does give me some similar vibes. I was getting a nostalgic thing for a bit thinking of stuff like this:

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I always want something like that but "less cheesy and more badass" which is hard to quantify. 😅

[Joshydavid25]

I feel that one.. Sounds like you want that 90s techno sounding music.. LOL..

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Something like that but I always thought there's a little bit of cheesiness to it all. I don't know how to describe it. 😅 But I think this one is less cheesy, for example:
https://youtu.be/24W_dmJIqfA

[Joshydavid25]

Haha that sounds similar to the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack.. I know how that feels though.. To want a certain type of music but you just can't put your finger on how to describe it..

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I always sucked that way and can't tell genres apart at all. Like I'd be at a nightclub and I liked the music so I'd ask the people there or the DJ if I could what type of music it is, and they'd say like, "Progressive House" or something. Then I'd go home and look up the music of this genre and I don't like most of it, just that one song. 😅

[Joshydavid25]

😂😂.. Damn, that must be the worst..

You might like this song..

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Sick beat! I like those ones that often utilize low pass filters to sound kind of submerged under water or underground.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Man those Germans and their damn techno. And I already know that dude is German without having to look it up.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/XEjLoHdbVeE

This beat is nuts.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

70s, nice! I actually like Giorgio Moroder:
https://youtu.be/HGrdbCpQCw0

[Rosexøxø]

Reminded me of this! I don't know why lmao

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DWSceMtAjPw

That beginning and also I thought that instrumental was from I don't know her name Madonna? I’ll look for it. Who did it first I don't know 🤷‍♀️

[Rosexøxø]

Okay that’s the name- hung up

Same tune tbh but I guess she took it from those guys :\\ whoops

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EDwb9jOVRtU

Still sounds cool and for me understandable lol

[ChefPapiChulo]

60s and 70s was a great time for music. Everyone was just on drugs writing jams.

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Rosexøxø yup she sampled it.

[Rosexøxø]

😆 😆

[Rosexøxø]

Trippy! Psychedelic!

[NathanDavis]

exactly what @Joshydavid25

if not Massive Attack... look into a few other Trip-Hop bands... mostly from 90's and early 2000's

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Wow, I was looking into Trip-Hop and found this one with Alan Watts' speech put on top of it. I like it!
https://youtu.be/2TiCbTahepw

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah that's one of my favorites songs.. I like a lot of electronic music as well.. 😎👉..

[NathanDavis]

my favorite is always going to be Portishead...

[Dongie]

The second on reminded me of the intro to 'Ain't that a Shame' by Cheaptrick.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Sick percussion in that one!

[Dongie]

Funky, like 1980. Live at Buddakan I think was the album

[Iron_Man]

That sounds like it’s out of a movie

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I think so too! A good subset of my interest in music comes from being a film buff and former video game developer. I often listen to a song and think, "Wouldn't it be cool if there was like a video game or movie of this sort, and it had this music?"

[Iron_Man]

That’s great I’m watching the Academy Awards right now
