In every corner of club-ready?electronicmusic, the almighty drop reigns supreme. Whether it's a wallop of subfrequencies in the beginning of a dubstep track or the subtle return of athumping house groove, delivering that perfect moment where less and morecollide can invigorate any given dancefloor. But if Usher's masterful "Climax" taught producers anything, it's that sometimes teasing thelistener can be just as exciting as satisfying expectations.

在電子音樂的每一角落，無所不能的“Drop”總是占據(jù)了至高地位的那個。無論它是混響音樂開始時的一記次要頻率，還是砰砰作響的House Groove的含蓄反復(fù)，總是在向聽眾提供那些少而精的完美時刻，都能為任一特定舞池注滿活力。但是，如果Usher的大師級作品“Climax”教會了如今的制作人什么，那就是有時挑逗聽眾可以和僅僅滿足聽眾的預(yù)期一樣令人興奮。

"Bipp", the excellent new single (released this week on Numbers) from mysterious UK producer Sophie, adheres tothis school of thought, rearranging emblazoned beats and rollercoaster dynamicsin favor of vigorous sound design and the sticky hooks. It ever so slightlyhints at a coveted drop, but the truth is that this cut is operating on anotherlevel entirely. The intermittent thud of a kick and some smacking claps giveSophie's effervescent production a semblance of a beat, but "Bipp" isreally built on its rubbery bassline and some exceptionally ebullient vocals(chirpy voices cheer, "I can make feel better, if you let me!"). Atfirst blush, it sounds like Sophie is using Jam City's bag of futuristic samplepacks and studio tricks to recreate "D.A.N.C.E." for the post-bassmusic generation. But on closer inspection, "Bipp" is a classic caseof an artist scrambling conventions and creating a next-level, irresitably funclub track in the process.

“Bipp”，神秘的英國制作人SOPHIE出色的新單曲（在Numbers發(fā)行），便堅持了這一思想流派，重新排布斑駁的鼓點和過山車式的動態(tài)聲波，采用了充滿活力的音效設(shè)計和密集的Hook。它是如此微妙地在暗示著一個令人垂涎的Drop，但事實上，這首歌完全是在另一層面上運作它。斷斷續(xù)續(xù)的“砰砰”的踢踏聲和拍打聲為SOPHIE的制作賦予生氣，但“Bipp”實際上是建立在它的橡膠質(zhì)地基線和些許熱情洋溢的人聲之上的（歡快地歡呼著“I can make feel better, if you let me!”）。乍一聽，這像是SOPHIE在使用Jam City的未來主義采樣包和錄音技巧，為后貝斯時代重構(gòu)“D.A.N.C.E.”；但仔細(xì)來聽，“Bipp”是一個典型的先鋒藝術(shù)家打破常規(guī)的案例，并在這一過程中創(chuàng)造了更亞、難以抗拒、趣味橫生的俱樂部曲目。
