Pete Academy Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 This song by Katie Perry is incredibly catchy, features a ridiculously auto-tuned vocal, and a crap rap in the middle by Snoop Dogg. It epitomises the state of pop music in this day and age. But it also features a slap bass part. Could this be the return of slap?

mep Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Katie Perry & her songs do it for me. Nice subtle bit of slapped bass, we as subtle as you can be whilst slapping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I reckon slap bass is making a comeback. MK is polishing his thumb, as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavy sampled/chopped up slap bass part is 'nout new, Justice were doing this a few years back and their sound has heavily influenced current styles of popular music production (fast forward to 3:20 to see what I mean): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 But I have never heard of Justice? Katy Perry happens to be an international act with millions of sales.

OliverBlackman Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 When did slap go away? Its consistently used in dance records but as a subtle octave riff rather than the full on victor wooten/Mark King styles we see on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
