Hi Everyone!

I have SUB configured with two PLAY:1's in a stereo pair and was wondering what everyones favourite songs are that you think really brings out the best of SUB and the wonderful stereo imaging that the PLAY:1's provide!

I'd be keen to hear any kind of music and really want to bring out the most of my system with a wide variety of tracks!

Thanks in advanced!

    Let me add 'Unfinished Sypathy' by Massive Attack. At the start of the song your SUB will blow you away!!

    I'm a big fan of testing with Massive Attack.

    Another fun one is Glitch Mob - Carry the Sun or Fortune Days.

    I haven't tried out those Pierre, I'll have to give it a shot later.

    A good test is

    The weeknd - The hills

    Turn it up and your sub gets a good test at the 40 second mark.

    Everyone go listen to Flume's new album Skin, all tracks great on bass.

    Definitely listen to Tiny Cities (feat. Beck) make sure your speakers/sub are up and don't give up during the long build up after the verse, trust me.

    My bass shortlist for Skin would be: Lose it, 3, When Everything Was New, Take a chance (2min10 on), Like Water and Tiny Cities.

    For jazz lovers, two legends that seem to have been around forever - Houston Person and Ron Carter - have just released a new album, Chemistry. Every track has enough content for the Sub from Carter's double bass playing, while the album itself is very well recorded from a stereo imaging and sound quality POV. Laid back music, but far from elevator style. Best heard late at night over a drink or three.

    THE best track I've found to really test the SUB (and structure of my house!) is La Roux - in for the kill (let's get ravey remix).
    Please try it!!

    I always love the way the drums go from side to side on Bjork Hunter, bass is brilliant too! Enjoy!

    I haven't seen these two mentioned:
    On My Level feat. Too $hort by Wiz Khalifa
    Bad and Boujee (feat Lil Uzi Vert) by Migos

    "On My Level" hits hard in my car but I think the bass messes with the treble and garbles his voice. On my Play:5 gen 2 and Sub, it's very clean and absolute bass.
