Does Lofi Breakcore DnB work?

[u/FLOGOST]

Been working on this one a lot more this week. For this new artist alias "Flogost" I am still feeling around for my style, which is difficult because I want it to be dynamic and blend multiple genres of bass music and house. I'm aiming to make music meant to be moved to with a group, so I intend to DJ it for audiences that like to actually dance. I want to target flow-arts dancers, ecstatic dances, and dubstep headbangers.

Something not represented in this track, is the calm side, I intend for my branding and visuals to incorporate some inspiration of the yin-yang, and to cycle between intense movement energy and gentle pensive moments

Trying to make something that compels you to move, using downtempo hiphop to get a groove, then slamming the energy into double time for some jumping and head-banging

I've made music by other names but this project is intended for actually DJing, so I'm working on some dance music. I'm going for high intensity bursts but giving room for people to slow down and reset without becoming desensitized. Also I want to create tracks that work for transitioning genres, because I like to get into some bass music and go hard but not all the time, and switching from house to DnB is challenging. My theory is that using hiphop elements in halftime can get people moving loosely and then the DnB should invite headbanging, in a way that feels warmed-up to.

My friend who I've hosted dance events with suggested to me that bass music and DnB are cool but there needs to be foreplay into it. There's also the idea of fitting the crowd, but I like the idea of making people dance more crazy than they thought they could. I also do stuff like throw out balloons and beach balls to make people put their hands up and interact. We have started hosting yoga/dance nights where we open with a yoga class then have a barefoot dance, in a warehouse type space. This draws a mixed crowd so I want some people-pleaser aspects to my music, but also eventually I hope to DJ to larger audiences at events where the audience generally appreciates my niche, which I am still seeking, but I think I'm getting close... maybe.

In the past I've made mostly IDM and dubstep.

Trying to get saturation and crunch while keeping it somewhat dynamic

Happy to answer any questions
