With all the overblown hype trap has been getting recently, it's some surprise that artists haven't really explored the minimalist aspects of the genre too much. Yes, since the style is basically centered around big, room-shaking kick-clap rhythms and huge basslines (albeit not much else), it's not shocking that most of the work in the genre has been big club-rocking anthems. Dillon Francis' "Masta Blasta (The Rebirth)" has been almost a poster child for trap in general, with its massively aggressive upper end complementing the other elements of the song, and though more minimalist trap does exist, for every subtler song there are probably fifteen more abrasive ones. And it's true that producers like Hudson Mohawke and his TNGHT collaboration with Lunice show off what "subdued" trap can do, but they're in the minority.
