Putting aside the obviously awesome music, i'm really glad you make reaction video's like these. :) i don't have any friends who share my musical tastes but when something special like this comes out it really makes me want to share it with someone. When i watch a reaction video like this it kind of feels like i'm listening to it with a friend and for me that really fills that void of wanting to share it with someone. Thank you!

[@ArchDennam]

18:00 it's just the _most_ defined sound. the flow of the sound is right, the tempo is right, the drums are full, the rise into it gets you in the boogie and he keeps using the samples in the drop to keep the boogie vibe. personally, i don't think you can beat it. all of vaultage 003 is just pure gold.

true da true

[@stacheu]

My pick has to be the one that starts at 17:15 in this video. It dropkicked me off my chair when I heard it the first time. Also I think it's the best one for having a proper intro that keeps up with the drop in terms of quality. But man, everything in this mix is godlike, I just love it, damn..

[@schawink]

Dude I love that song so much as well. The intro is just so exciting and when the drop hits u just fall off ur chair.

[@Masonmercermusicman]

Same I would die if the whole song got released 😭

[@PureFPSPwnage]

I'm gonna make it even better for u... The sampling is Murdock from Rambo II

[@Mercurialek]

21:20 That is that song about this moments at end of festival when most emotional song is played for nostalgia. That was that song. Song of Space Laces about Festival Nostalgia. I cryied too

[@jack.20f74]

I wish he would just release these songs separately in like EPs and shit. So we could have the discretion of playing them in a different order. Space Laces could be the best bass music artist right now, absolutely no question. Excision will always be my favorite but right now he's nowhere near Space Laces' level as of late. The student has outdone the master. Also, it says your discord link is invalid or outdated. I tried to join. (Fixed)

[@mr.fufucudlypoops8207]

While teminite is my favorite for stylistic reasons as well as his unparalleled ability to mix genres, he does sometimes fall short in areas like sound design where he's good but not incredible. But when I think of someone who has mastered dubstep as a style in all its facets with near perfection, space laces stands on his own, with VR and zomboy following closely behind. He really is the modern master that everyone should learn from, like hendrix for guitar or pavarotti for tenors.

[@matthew5141]

Student? Master? X’s best tunes have (feat. space laces) at the end... lol

[@dawsonhicks5929]

I think Space Laces and Moody Good are the two artists that have absolutely mastered Dubstep as an art form, to the point where they can experiment and push it further not only with regard to sound design, but composition as well. Space Laces’ ability to define each new wave of bass music with every release and inspire a bunch of copycats is really similar to how Skrillex used to set a new trend with every release back in the day. This is the most hype I’ve seen for a bass music release in a long time. While Space Laces isn’t as popular as artists like VR or SVDDEN DEATH because he’s not as prolific, he’s just as influential and important.

[@SorryImissedThat]

I remember thinking when Vaultage 002 came out that this man knows no limit. Now with this latest installment, I feel it's disrespectful to call him a bass producer. So much emotion and feeling in everything he touches. Incredible.

[@Vindilax]

I dont think disrespect really fits here, there's plenty of bass producers out there that have incredible talent! I think I get where you're going though cause trying to fit Ian's absolute dominating production into one specific sub category doesn't really do it justice.

[@SorryImissedThat]

@@Vindilax exactly. Thank you for the input. After reading my comment again, I can see how it could come across as condescending. No disrespect was intended towards the countless other talented producers. I was more trying to describe how nonlinear his music is while showing knowledge and proficiency in multiple genres. He doesn't "over do it" with unnecessary sounds, there's a sense of balance which is no easy task for any producer, regardless of the genre.

[@Vindilax]

@@SorryImissedThat No worries! I just wanted to end that flame war before it even started cause I know someone would've tried to start SOMETHING.

Sublime. I remember listening to Space Laces’ Dungeons & Dragons long ago. Now, it represents only a faint part of the variety of sounds and composition I’ve come to associate him with, but even after I first heard D&D, I could not find other songs that captured so well what it did. I can sympathize with the feelings he isn’t consistent. But to me, when looking at his musical timeline on the whole, there’s a display of such broad technical and musical comprehension and experience, that it gives me confidence in whatever creative approaches he pursues next.

Droids at 3:00ish was my favorite (in part because of the Probe Droid sound effects as well as just that massive switch up in the mood), but damn that ending track is just perfection. This mix honestly is right there with G Jones - "The Ineffable Truth" , Porter's "Worlds", and Daft Punk's "R.A.M." as one of the most masterfully produced and mind-blowingly conceptually coherent pieces of electronic art. I was afraid the 20 minutes would leave me wanting more, but every emotion and mood throughout was perfectly executed and wrapped up, never overstaying it's welcome or being too short to fully be recognized. This is easily one of the all-time peaks of electronic music.
