10 // SUGAR PLUM BASS
SOURCE: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy · GENRE: Dubstep / Bass Music · BPM: 145
"The fairy was always a bass frequency."
Tchaikovsky wrote the celesta part of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to sound like something you couldn't quite place: magical, high, a little strange. He chose the celesta specifically because almost no one had heard one. The instrument makes the familiar feel alien. Sugar Plum Bass uses that same logic: the familiar melody arrives in the most familiar possible form (a music box), then the dubstep drop reveals the bass that was always underneath it. The fairy was always a bass frequency. The candy kingdom was always a rave. 'The bass is naughty, never nice' is the line that holds the whole thing. We checked the list. This is what was on it.

Welcome... to the fantasy. Tiptoe through the wires and the snow Where the electric gardens grow Candy coated circuits humming low A technicolor, frozen show Close your eyes and taste the sound We're lifting off the solid ground The fairy dances round and round Until the heavy beat is found Dreaming in digital... Dreaming in digital... The drop is coming It's sweet like sugar Plum. SUGAR PLUM! Wub-wub-wub-wub Fairy! Let it drop! Shatter the glass, break the ice This paradise comes with a price We roll the dice, we check it twice The bass is naughty, never nice Spinning in a purple haze Lost inside the holiday maze Set the frozen night ablaze These are the electric days Can you feel the magic? Can you feel the magic? 1, 2, 1, 2... CRASH! Ooh-Whoa-Oh! Sugar Plum Bass! Sweet dreams.
