some EDM/Electronic mixes are massive / "big console" type mixes that are very fun to experience with extended bass and a not overly compressed mix. Your senses are sometimes overwhelmed (in a good way) by these huge mixes played back at decent levels on a big system in a big, well treated room.
Can i recommend ’Oto’ by Fluke...in case you aren’t already familiar with it?
It’s truly astonishing, one magnificent soundscape after another. And the mastering is sublime, you can really crank the volume because it sounds so restrained and natural. The bass is extended and perfectly controlled, the sub bass is percussive at times, or swelling naturally at others. My favourite track gives one the impression of floating downstream, being carried by the current towards two rock giants hurling thunderbolts at each other....another ends with you floating in space, as warp beasts of mind boggling size gently drift by, and below you.
You’re just not going to get that with bookshelf speakers or, perhaps controversially, valve power amps. While i adore a valve pre, It takes solid state power to bring the fear factor to the pit of your stomach and quicken your pulse.
