  1. "It’s 2026, and we’re still saying “bass music.” One of those terms that means everything and nothing, it’s nonetheless been embraced by the electronic music world for more than a decade now. ...
    Whether you think of it as a cultural flattening device or a kind of convention hall, bass music has put the disparate sounds of #jungle, #electro, #techno, #house, dubstep, #footwork, Jersey club, #dancehall, Brazilian funk, #singeli, #guaracha, #kuduro, #batida and #mahraganat in conversation with one another—and that’s just a partial list.
    Tracing the roots of that conversation is a complex task, but there’s little question that many of the key roads lead back to the UK, and the #dubstep genre in particular."
