Heard about this dub/roots outfit that packs a punch. It’s chilled too, as you might expect.

This will have your room shaking, and your driver cones wobbling all over the place… it’s one of my sub bass go to test tracks. It can sound a mess if you have sub bass over hang or bad bass phase alignment, especially at the polyrhythmic part of the track.
Another track I used to use was the start of the Jam’s Down in the Tube Station at Midnight… right at the start there is a field recording of a London Underground tube train arriving into a tunnel station, and the subsonics are spectacular… your listening room becomes like a station platform with appropriate speakers (my current RED 50s alas only hint at this as they fall away below 40 Hz, but use speakers with bandwidth down to 20 Hz ) … you just need to turn down before the music starts

Simon you have taken me back to the 60’s when hifi enthusiasts were listening to records of trains passing through stations!

I remember hearing this live when I was twenty, pretty sure that one contributed to my tinnitus

For a test, Hans Zimmer & James Netwon Howard - Like a Dog Chasing Cars.
@NogBadTheBad already mentioned Massive Attack, I’d like to add Angel by Massive Attack too!
There’s a few popping into my head now, one more I would recommend is Daft Punk - Doin It Right
By the way, if you have Qobuz, you can search the term ‘bass’ in playlists and it comes up with playlists like ‘Harbeth Nelson Big-Bass Fun tracks’ etc. which is probably what this thread will roughly look like by the end of it. Not that I want to spoil the fun!

My friend’s son, who currently plays bass in two local bands, showed me that Rio and Too Shy are good warm-up tracks. I was impressed by Rio and blown away by how complex Too Shy was.

A great remix of a great song from the 90s.
Nick Beggs is right up there on the bass. Incredible player and technique. Not the only instrument he plays either.
