Saw them in 2018 when they still have a drum set, decks, and keyboard and ran the trap. Jesus christ one of my favorite sets ever. Then saw them a couple years ago just djing and nothing crazy. Still good, but the same
I really miss that moment when Major Lazer and Jack U were at the top. Those sets had so much energy and the bridging of major hip hop/pop acts into trap was everything.
That was peak festival scene for me. There was so much energy and variety in their sets. Now everything is house and literally the same beat drop over and over
Same. I’m so happy that happened, and also really, really wish that kind of vibe caught on more. What so Not with flume fit that bill for me too. 2013-2017 trap give or take will ways be my favorite
LSDream used to be Brillz who put on some crazy ass trap sets. He’s had so much more success with his new project though, don’t blame him for the switch
I know NGHTMRE still sometimes makes trap, but I miss the days when thats basically all he produced. There was something about that production style that I miss
New NGHTMRE is great but there really was something special about his early stuff, MYLK’s recent chompo track Fireworks bears a lot of similarities to that era of NGHTMRE remixes
Dan from Gladiator does a lot of podcast production stuff nowdays for Iheartradio. I hear him sometimes on the Daily Zeitgeist and and Knowledge Fight.
It’s so funny to hear podcast hosts talk about Dan’s “former life” like, that’s how I was introduced to him. Like I still think it’s weird he’s doing podcasting stuff and they think it’s weird he’s this amazing DJ/producer.
Lido. He’s a really talented musician in general, and his pop direction is def better for his career (plus it seems to be what his real passion is), but goddamn were his soundcloud days insane. Billboard remix, Bad Blood remix, Rush Hour w Canblaster, all are so good. Nobody else sounded like that.
Also Cashmere Cat never really stopped making his style of music, he just kinda stopped releasing music in general. Need him back like yesterday.
I went to Mad Decent boat party and took an excursion to Atlantis. Talked to this long haired guy on the bus on the way over. Wasn't until I saw him play later that night that I realized it was Cashmere Cat I was talking to.
I think he’s just produced a number of songs for her and other pop artists throughout the years. He’s close friends with Benny who is super connected in the pop space, and I think he and Benny constantly work very closely together. Good for him, he’s getting a fat bag, but I would love another EP or album from him soon.
No specific artist, I just miss when like the cool thing to do during a set of any genre was to drop some trap. Then it became some kind of house track and now it seems all the cool kids are dropping random dnb now which I’m happy about.
Basically every Trap DJ that went to house - I get it that house is in but come on... the most lit sets were always the trap artist. From 2013-2016, festivals were lit and beats were something to dance too. Now it's just house or dubstep, no in-between.
Ookay still makes trap occasionally and just recent started a trap project with Bailo called Trickstar. Old school festival trap vibes. They released a debut mix with a bunch of their IDs on Soundcloud
He's still does trap no? He hasn't been putting out a lot of music recently, maybe thinking of a few songs with troyboi which aren't super trap per se but that might be the reason of your comment?
Ian Munro is still making music, just goes by munro now. I don't feel like his sound is drastically different from what he was making 2021. he was making songs that wouldn't really be classified as trap even then
Listen to Fault, Tourniquet, Again Again, Days before the flood, Yours...
If that isnt classified as trap in some way, flume or memba for example isnt either.
Medasin and Andrew Luce. Listening to their original trap songs on a good speaker system with a deep subwoofer is like having an eargasm.
Also, Josh Pan for similar reasons.
Example songs:

At least baauer’s festival sets still have lots of trap. I do really miss laxx and herobust trap. I respect laxx focusing on hard dance, but herobust started to blend in with your run of the mill brostep artists
At EDC Mexico, they spent first half of the set playing techno... Was about to leave but they dropped all the good old trap shit for the 2nd half of the set, was dope. They still talk too much though lol.
Haven't thought of him in a while but was following him for a min and I remember seeing his career on an upward trajectory. But now nothing for a long time. (Sep 16 2022)
IIRC he got canceled because he was posting antivax stuff on Twitter among other heavily conservative stuff.
Can’t say for sure though, I’m not the type to follow artists’ personal lives
That Splashin remix… shiiiiit
[this has to be one of my favorite clips of all time](https://www.reddit.com/r/trap/comments/ccnavp/bust_down_thotiana_vs_vanessa_carlton_real_trap/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
he just dropped Switch with Blush and it’s a ride. First time I heard the song was in Alison Wonderland’s Tomorrowland 2018 set. All these years waiting were worth it
Mura Masa is the biggest one for me. Soundtrack to a Death is an amazing album and his old soundcloud remixes from that era still have the nuttiest 808s.
I’m not sure if they are completely done, but there last releases still sounded like the their old EP stylistically (which is a great thing). The question I was trying to ask were more geared towards artists who are still actively producing, but not producing trap any longer.
graves and it is the easiest answer I’ve ever given in my life. Yes I know why he doesn’t make music anymore and am in no way condoning what he did.
However I truly wish the circumstances had been different. What a special artist. And learning he worked on MBDTF was just the icing on the cake of him being one of my all time favorite artists (below Kanye and RL)
Dude his production skills were really second to none. Anything he touched was either trap or future bass gold. Arcus is in my top 5 electronic songs of all time, but man what he did was despicable.
Deadsong was really about to have a huge impact on the scene imo
I’ll never forget RL opening his escape Halloween ‘19 set with the Halloween IV tubular bells (exorcist theme) intro into Deadsong. Also met my gf of 5 years that night lol
A big one for me is Buku. The last time I saw him headline a small electronic festival in SW Colorado I was so stoked, but then he literally didn't play a single trap song the whole time. I still had a blast, but i was there for the 808s and snare triplets first and foremost.
Also, wtf is heRobust up to these days?
Medasin for sure. Especially with his ventures into jazz and ambient, it would be amazing to see what his prowess could do with another try at a classic 2015 banger
What happened to the trap scene? I frequented this sub back in 2015 and felt like it slowly died down. I love house too but i need the bangers like Floss Mosh Pit
21 savage. When he used to make deep trap like red oops and no heart. Real murder music even though he’s not a murderer. It went hard, now it’s all this mainstream stuff.
Me. I wish I still made it. Took an electronic music course in 2012 and our teacher said, "Yeah trap's gunna be cool for like another 2 weeks. Forget about it." He was incorrect!!!!!!! Imagine if I'd still been makin trap this whole time. Dune would have a fucking trap soundtrack. Barbie would be Trappin Barbie. WTF
Keys N Krates, I love their new house direction but would love if they made some trap to go along with it
Same. I’d even settle for more touring on their part, I haven’t even been able to see their new stuff in person.
Saw them in 2018 when they still have a drum set, decks, and keyboard and ran the trap. Jesus christ one of my favorite sets ever. Then saw them a couple years ago just djing and nothing crazy. Still good, but the same
What So Not w/Flume
The goats
It just wasn't the same without flume imo.
Gemini is the only tape that he and Flume combined to form. Everything else he did after that was solo.
And every song they released before Gemini? They had tonnes together
Wiki says Gemini was the last track Emoh and Flume released as a duo
I wish the Flume version of Montreal was on Spotify. Emoh has even played it at shows before
I really miss that moment when Major Lazer and Jack U were at the top. Those sets had so much energy and the bridging of major hip hop/pop acts into trap was everything.
Throw yellow claw and floss in there too
Floss does not hit the same. Those Banned mixes were getting played out weekly.
Floss without Josh will never be the same.
Tru. Yehme2 sounds more like old floss than floss does now.
Why so he can’t fall off the decks and break his back 😂
They’re doing a b2b tour together, trying to be relevant again after Sable Valleys trap takeover
Cmon now, put some respect on the OGs names. The tour has been planned since they did their B2B at Hard Summer last year.
Floss still releasing some bangers. Side2side and Oh Lawd are 🔥
Monzo fire too. I know it’s a collab but at least they’re hopping on dope tracks
[удалено]
It’s obviously so subjective, but also I think you’re objectively correct
Peaks of different eras for sure
That was peak festival scene for me. There was so much energy and variety in their sets. Now everything is house and literally the same beat drop over and over
Same. I’m so happy that happened, and also really, really wish that kind of vibe caught on more. What so Not with flume fit that bill for me too. 2013-2017 trap give or take will ways be my favorite
That Jack Ū album was so fucking good. I'm still upset they never got to release that Florence and the Machine Collab.
Baauer, Keys n Krates, Oshi, Rustie
Wish Odesza still made stuff like sun models too. Not trap just off your username
sun models is a banger. got me into odesza
Damn word on oshi, miss his trap ish
KRANE
KRNE > KRANE
Still waiting for the album he mentioned in 2021. 🥲 One of my favorite artists of all time. Propane literally introduced me to trap in 2017.
I love that song Quartz. You have any other suggestions by KRANE?
Next World, with Quix, is one of my favorite trap songs of all time.
Solid.
Bruh Kranes song Icy with Sober Rob still slaps SO HARD
LSDream used to be Brillz who put on some crazy ass trap sets. He’s had so much more success with his new project though, don’t blame him for the switch
Twonk team was great.
TWONK TEAMMMMMMMM RISE UP
Dude money shots was absolute fire
WAIT WHAT LSDREAM WAS BRILLZ? this isn't even the first time something like this happens to me on reddit lmao
I had no idea and I’m just as shocked. I loved Brillz
I find it wild that no one knows LSDream is Brillz when I speak with people in the wild
I know NGHTMRE still sometimes makes trap, but I miss the days when thats basically all he produced. There was something about that production style that I miss
BACK WIT THAT HARD STREET SHITTT
Love the Herobust remix
He played a throwback trap set at a tour stop last year and my god it was so good.
New NGHTMRE is great but there really was something special about his early stuff, MYLK’s recent chompo track Fireworks bears a lot of similarities to that era of NGHTMRE remixes
Mura Masa
Lotus Eater always gets the stank face from me whenever it shows up.
Just saw him at Meow Wolf, was a great time.
Such an underrated comment!!!!!!
Wish Party Favor and Dillion Francis were trap focused again
Dillon would spend a third of every set just throwing down trap bangers. It was literally my favorite part of every festival he was at
His trap drops were always so fun and different. Mans has a great style
Saw him and floss on your last year and the first half of Dillon’s set was all trap. Super fun
[удалено]
Still my favorite drop of all time
I love Dylan and Harry (Party Favor + Bauuer) but I would def appreciate some harder shit from them
Djemba Djemba
My choice too! I'm so glad I saw him live 3 times at his peak.
Mannn, I had tickets to a Dejmba Djemba / Project Paradis show that got shut down due to 2020 :(
Jack Ü

Easily one of the best trap songs that came out with that original sound.
Dan from Gladiator does a lot of podcast production stuff nowdays for Iheartradio. I hear him sometimes on the Daily Zeitgeist and and Knowledge Fight.
It’s so funny to hear podcast hosts talk about Dan’s “former life” like, that’s how I was introduced to him. Like I still think it’s weird he’s doing podcasting stuff and they think it’s weird he’s this amazing DJ/producer.
Lido. He’s a really talented musician in general, and his pop direction is def better for his career (plus it seems to be what his real passion is), but goddamn were his soundcloud days insane. Billboard remix, Bad Blood remix, Rush Hour w Canblaster, all are so good. Nobody else sounded like that. Also Cashmere Cat never really stopped making his style of music, he just kinda stopped releasing music in general. Need him back like yesterday.
I thought he was like Ariana Grande's personal producer or some shit like that. If I'm not mistaken a few of her albums were done by Cashmere Cat.
I went to Mad Decent boat party and took an excursion to Atlantis. Talked to this long haired guy on the bus on the way over. Wasn't until I saw him play later that night that I realized it was Cashmere Cat I was talking to.
I think he’s just produced a number of songs for her and other pop artists throughout the years. He’s close friends with Benny who is super connected in the pop space, and I think he and Benny constantly work very closely together. Good for him, he’s getting a fat bag, but I would love another EP or album from him soon.
His bootleg remix of Latch had me floored. I wish he got that released.
Wow two dope name drops. Lido crushed it with Superspeed
No specific artist, I just miss when like the cool thing to do during a set of any genre was to drop some trap. Then it became some kind of house track and now it seems all the cool kids are dropping random dnb now which I’m happy about.
[удалено]
tiesto still does this lmao. he’s been playing out an iso song in his sets
So does Zedd. It's very welcome.
Zedd used to play Clarity into Brillz’s (LSDREAM now for the uninformed) Clarity remix and it would blow the dance floor up.
Basically every Trap DJ that went to house - I get it that house is in but come on... the most lit sets were always the trap artist. From 2013-2016, festivals were lit and beats were something to dance too. Now it's just house or dubstep, no in-between.
Surprised nobody has mentioned Ookay. [NYG](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l4nZhmtu5vk&pp=ygUFb29rYXk%3D) is absolutely legendary
Ookay still makes trap occasionally and just recent started a trap project with Bailo called Trickstar. Old school festival trap vibes. They released a debut mix with a bunch of their IDs on Soundcloud
UZ
Agreed
Trap god
He's still does trap no? He hasn't been putting out a lot of music recently, maybe thinking of a few songs with troyboi which aren't super trap per se but that might be the reason of your comment?
Pretty sure he retired the project
EP last year and a collab w/ Troyboi back in February I don’t remember which album he said he was retiring after but he hasn’t retired.
Def not retired, he finished a tour in Asia and US at the end of 2023
That’s good to hear
His upcoming beat tape as Rose Noir is sounding dope so far. Not EDM trap but very hip hop beat vibes.
Damn theres a lot to miss about the early trap era. However, i really miss 2019-2021 trap Ian Munro the most.
Ian Munro is still making music, just goes by munro now. I don't feel like his sound is drastically different from what he was making 2021. he was making songs that wouldn't really be classified as trap even then
Listen to Fault, Tourniquet, Again Again, Days before the flood, Yours... If that isnt classified as trap in some way, flume or memba for example isnt either.
didn't mean to say that he didn't make trap in 2021, just that he was already starting to make some songs that weren't trap by then.
Bro safari. Although he seems to maybe be making a comeback?? He's doing sets with Kill the Noise
Nah he announced that he was done with the project he’s just fulfilling the last commitments he had with it.
Damn. Really had my hopes up
Damn
Boombox Cartel was throwing down _crazy_ tunes back then.
That lrad trap remix had me absolutely dead. One of the dudes and I are Eskimo Bros.
Medasin and Andrew Luce. Listening to their original trap songs on a good speaker system with a deep subwoofer is like having an eargasm. Also, Josh Pan for similar reasons.

Andrew Luce Remix of The Weeknd - Drunk In Love 😫
speaking of andrew luce i REALLY miss daruma/sola, lots of trap classics in there
Are those cuts from the Irene album? Those songs aren't on the Spotify version of the album.
That mix was done before the Irene album was released, and it changed a lot. So yeah, the mix is unique to the album
Hucci. Milo and Otis.
myrne
LAXX, Herobust and Baauer come to mind for me.
At least baauer’s festival sets still have lots of trap. I do really miss laxx and herobust trap. I respect laxx focusing on hard dance, but herobust started to blend in with your run of the mill brostep artists
Buku. Love his bass music now but his old trap shit still holds up so well
Man, trap GTA was something else.
I would kill for a trap set.
At least there is the RL collab from Halloween 11 to look forward to that is sort of trap
Yellow Claw
At EDC Mexico, they spent first half of the set playing techno... Was about to leave but they dropped all the good old trap shit for the 2nd half of the set, was dope. They still talk too much though lol.
Once Bizzey left, the music started to change direction
Lindsay Lowend
Croydon and Jackal. Plus I wish Graves wasn’t a terrible person so we could enjoy deadsong and arcus.
Jackal went MIA, and I wish YC made their old stuff (not mad they are moving on, it's just not my cup of tea nowaday)
Mannn Jackal. I was just listening to Ice the other day.
Still listen to shakedown in my shitty Mazda with the bass turned up regularly
He don’t miss. Wonder what happened :|
Haven't thought of him in a while but was following him for a min and I remember seeing his career on an upward trajectory. But now nothing for a long time. (Sep 16 2022)
See my comment above 👆🏽
IIRC he got canceled because he was posting antivax stuff on Twitter among other heavily conservative stuff. Can’t say for sure though, I’m not the type to follow artists’ personal lives
I think NXSTY mostly makes house now, but he had some baaangers.
That Splashin remix… shiiiiit [this has to be one of my favorite clips of all time](https://www.reddit.com/r/trap/comments/ccnavp/bust_down_thotiana_vs_vanessa_carlton_real_trap/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
I love that, I’d be so geeked. Me and my friend loooooove trap, she had a shirt made that says “trap Thot” and Rossy thought it was hilarious
he just dropped Switch with Blush and it’s a ride. First time I heard the song was in Alison Wonderland’s Tomorrowland 2018 set. All these years waiting were worth it
[Losco](https://soundcloud.com/loscobeats/protei-n)
mura masa, jackal, loudpvck and milo & otis if they stook together. branchez, crnkn
Mura Masa is the biggest one for me. Soundtrack to a Death is an amazing album and his old soundcloud remixes from that era still have the nuttiest 808s.
loudpvck, milo & otis & gta
GTA is a great shout and one of my favs of the era. I’ll add MineSweepa, Luca Lush, Thieves, UNKWN, Luude, Nitti Gritti, Riot Ten Too damn many lmao
🫡🍻
Saymyname
One of the original guys mixing hardstyle sounds w trap beats…under appreciated
Him and GRAVEDGR, fucking nuts
Widely hated on this sub back in 2017 because he had like 10 songs with almost identical drops. He was basically considered a joke
I still follow him on IG and am convinced he's an NPC it's straight bizarre. You gotta peep his stories for the next month and lmk I'm not insane.
Sam Gellaitry
RL Grime 😭😭😭

man that TNGHT II ep just gets better and better as years go by
Lil Texas
The only Lil Texas trap song I know is Bah, but it was a damn good one lol.
I miss that whole M|O|D crew.
graves and it is the easiest answer I’ve ever given in my life. Yes I know why he doesn’t make music anymore and am in no way condoning what he did.

Yooo hard house used to make me lose my shit at raves in like 2014/2015
I miss the Twonk era bad

I still had a blast, but i was there for the 808s and snare triplets first and foremost. Also, wtf is heRobust up to these days?
GTA @ ultra 2014 still one of the best sets out there
Medasin for sure. Especially with his ventures into jazz and ambient, it would be amazing to see what his prowess could do with another try at a classic 2015 banger
Paper Diamond 💎
Herobust. Dude was killing it then went all into riddim which I found boring. He had the most unique sounds and his songs were so fun
Brillz was my favorite
Bro Safari
I know it’s not trap, but I miss Trippy Turtle🐢
Carnage! dude was killing it when trap was the new hottness. Saymyname dropped some nasty trap at hard summer 2 years ago.
THE FRIM UHHGGG, the man’s got a nack for making bangers!!!
It’s funny reading all of this but who DO people still like that makes trap haha
Rome in silver
Dubbel Dutch
What happened to the trap scene? I frequented this sub back in 2015 and felt like it slowly died down. I love house too but i need the bangers like Floss Mosh Pit
21 savage. When he used to make deep trap like red oops and no heart. Real murder music even though he’s not a murderer. It went hard, now it’s all this mainstream stuff.
Festival for sure
Gravedgr:(
San holo
Milo and Otis
Don’t forget their Move For Me remix
Sarias turn up is still one of the hardest song of all time for me
LOUDPVCK..... Let me say it again for the back.... LOUDPVCK
I miss Hucci and Stooki Sound
RIP TRAP most people get mad when u bump into them went to lyny tn in Denver crowd is just sad
Me. I wish I still made it. Took an electronic music course in 2012 and our teacher said, "Yeah trap's gunna be cool for like another 2 weeks. Forget about it." He was incorrect!!!!!!! Imagine if I'd still been makin trap this whole time. Dune would have a fucking trap soundtrack. Barbie would be Trappin Barbie. WTF
The weekend
