This week I’ve been jamming out to this song: [“Feels Right (Galloway Remix)” Jocelyn Alice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AslJmdhSro) I can’t get enough of the beat, where it starts the crescendo at 1:46 and drops at 2:24. Just wondering if anyone out there can recommend some more killer beat drops. ---

Uptown Funk is a good one. I thought of it because your post made me think of this adorable little girl who knows exactly where the beat comes down in this song...

Just watched the vid you posted OP, it made me think of Sia’s Cheap Thrills, you might enjoy the beat drops in this one too… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nYh-n7EOtMA/maxresdefault.jpg "Sia - Cheap Thrills (Official Lyric Video) ft. Sean Paul") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYh-n7EOtMA) ---

“Bangarang” by Skrillex has some good ones. At about :25 and 1:18 (the same drop pretty much) At about 2:10 it goes out like the OP’s song and drops hard at 2:46.

I don’t think I’ve heard that phrase before but I’ll give it a go, would the transition at 2:30 count for Cvrches “[Clearest Blue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZyzX4c1vIs)”? ---

Absolutely. The phrase makes more sense in a DJ set I guess, eg in this more clubby tune. Drops all over the shop, the one after 4:10 is huge [DJ Misjah & DJ Tim - Access](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o4joooH5tg) ---

[Within Destruction - Human Defect](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrmuR7JGkos) at :45 and :55 are my favorites in this song. [We Are Obscurity - Chaos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CqFufp1pzM) at :22 Beat drops are pretty common in thrash, death metal, beatdown, slam and even grindcore; those are just a couple of recent fun examples. ---

About 1 minute into Sir Sly’s “[& Run](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdoR7E7b4Mo)”, they drop some strong beats. And again at about the 2 minute mark. ---

More non-electronic dance music examples: This [AxCx](https://youtu.be/YN39bvtMJ3s) album is basically a compendium of dropped beats. Cephalic Carnage - “9 Feet of Smoke” - the most prominent ones @ [:18,](https://youtu.be/KbXI6fwwZ6o?t=10)[1:13,](https://youtu.be/KbXI6fwwZ6o?t=64) [1:43,](https://youtu.be/KbXI6fwwZ6o?t=95) and [2:41](https://youtu.be/KbXI6fwwZ6o?t=158) (these guys are real stop-start-y buggers)
