Bass Drops and Electric Vibes: How I Found Myself Tripping Balls in the Pit of a SUBTRONICS Show

While in Virginia to perform stand-up comedy at the anime convention “Nekocon”, I had caught wind of an EDM show that was going on in the neighboring arena. A performer named SUBTRONICS was doing a show. I heard of this artist before, but had never seen him live or heard most of his musical catalog. I decided to get some media coverage for All Circles Media while I was here. Of course, getting into the show for free on such short notice did take a bit of finesse, but using my degree in Quantum Rizzics, I got in. I was totally unprepared for what I was about to experience. As I stepped into the packed venue, the air was unreal. The crowd buzzed with excitement. I was about to witness the live performance of the EDM sensation, SUBTRONICS for the first time! Having heard stories about his live shows, I was ready to dive headfirst into a world of bass drops.
Getting Into The Show
Quantum Rizzics is a sacred science— a masterful blend of swagger and charisma. I happen to be the top-rated Quantum Rizzics Professor at THE University of Doing Whatever I Want. With my vast power and knowledge, I approached the security desk with an All Circles Media promotional flyer. I told the lady working there that I had left my wallet inside and I was there before. I flashed the All Circles Media flyer like it meant something, claiming that if she showed it to the admissions people they’d let me “back” in. The security worker couldn’t leave her post, so she let me through.
Once I got to admissions, the employee pulled out his ticket scanner. Again, I flashed my All Circles Media flyer, channeling the Rizz of the Quantum Realm, and repeated the same fabricated story I told security. I looked him in the eyes and said, “I need in there.” I kept firm with my quantum gaze, and finally, after about two seconds, he said….. “Ok.”
And there I was… heading to the pit of my first SUBTRONICS show… for FREE.
How I ended Up Tripping Balls In the Pit
I’m dancing. I’m grooving. This ain’t nothing to me, man. I busted a move and went straight funky. Danced my way all the way up to the front where the real party was. I met a cool guy offering “water” out of his drink hat. I’ve never had a bad time after drinking out of a drink hat, so I said, “Hell yeah, brother.”
Twenty minutes later I’m spinning. I’m floating. This is definitely something to me, man. I’m no stranger to a good trip. I knew as soon as the funk took over my bones, that was molly. Now I’m feeling freaky trying to find Tiffany. I don’t know a Tiffany. That’s how you know I was truly lifted.
Thank you, Hat-Drink Man, for that molly-water. Skee-yee.
When The Bean Kicked In
The stage was a futuristic spectacle, decorated with an intricate light setup that seemed to dance to the rhythm of the impending beats. The atmosphere alive with energy. The crowd's roars escalated into a deafening cheers as SUBTRONICS took the stage. I was vibin’.
His set kicked off with an atmospheric intro, building anticipation with every echoing note. Suddenly, the bass dropped, sending shockwaves through the crowd, and my soul. The synchronized light show erupted into a kaleidoscope of colors, matching the ferocity of the beats. It was a sensory overload, an awesome combination of sound and visuals that set the tone for the night.
One of the more impressive aspects of the show was the energy that pulsed through the venue. Strangers became friends, united by a shared love for the bass. Every beat, every drop, felt like a collective heartbeat that resonated within the crowd. It wasn't just a concert; it was a shared experience, a journey through time that The Bean crafted with finesse.
The artist's connection with the audience was very obvious. Between tracks, he engaged with the crowd, asked all of us if we’ve ever played Elden Ring, and when the crowd let off a resounding “yes”, he let us know he had just beat it back stage. Pause. I meant the game.
Exiting the venue, I couldn't help but feel a sense of euphoria. SUBTRONICS' live show was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of music, a shared experience that left a permanent imprint on my musical soul. In that moment, I realized the true power of live EDM performances — a power to unite, to electrify, create lasting memories, and trip balls off the bean with strangers. The memories reverberate long after the last bass drop has faded away.. skee-yee indeed.
Where Did I end Up?
At ya momma’s house. Ask her about me.
And that’s why they call me: Tai The Icon
