Another one that's even weirder, "dance music"Quote:

I also recall some chavs being into hardcore and I said "Yeah I like some hardcore too" and played them a gabber track. Turns out, they didn't like hardcore, they liked Scooter.Quote:

don't see the point in being all precious about the whole 'bass' tag, I mean if you wanted to be pendantic wouldn't the oldest definition of bass music be miami booty bass? ;)
OP, suggest you check out juno's bass tag, it makes sense to me at least... also there is another kick ass thread on here with other DJTTers regularly laying out some good tunes
can be a bit confusing when darker dubstep/US brostep/drumstep and dark DnB get lumped in with it which I subjectively don't think fits the vibe of it, gave up on beatports tagging a while ago for this reason, maybe it got better now, not sure...
re OPs question on defining characteristics to produce music from this fairly broad umbrella genre: (all my subjective take on it)
- trap is fairly well known by now, loads of 808 kick/pitched snare and hi hats rolls
- post dub step was the round 140ish dubstep minues the schreeching mid range and loads of pitch shifted singy vocals and reverb
- on the more housey styles I notice that they lay off the side chain synth a bit, focus on getting clean sounding bass stabby sounds and often the whole up one semitone/down one semitone deep house thing, quite a lot of break downs with lush pads before going back to no pads at all
- the jukey trap production seems a bit more sample based, slice/choke/replay mpc/maschine style and for the 160+ some chopped up drum loops, a lot of the footwork stuff seems to ironically have little bass at all, just lots of high pitched snares
- the 'future garage' stuff seems just like garage with a bit more deep house feel
- i'm at a loss to try to define the techno aspect of it, seems whenever some of it doesn't fit into the other sub sub genres...
ideally I would put a solid example of each but no time for that at the mo... maybe later on...
Well said mate. It makes more sense to me to label sub bass heavy music with dub/house/garage/2step whatever influence under one banner opposed to having an arguement about how much that tune isn't post dubstep/garage tech or some genre that was mentioned by some guy in an interview.Quote:
