not realy feeling magazine and clueless journalists using it as genre class tbh, to me its just a umbrella.
i would rather ppl just called the whole garage/dubstep/grime etc.... bass music coz the one thing it all has in common is the fact it's bassy, whenever i make a mix i tag it as bass music coz there's a lot of diff genres in there. it's better than future garage or post dubstep or them dumb names, at least this way things don't get boxed up.
would call garage a 'bass music' anyway... got so many more important elements, its not just driven by bass.
for sure man

c/s it not being london-centric, i would say Bristol is as important.

Basically when Funky died people needed a new name to push on, and the production styles were getting a lot more varied....
kinda co-insided with dubstep heads jumping off that and producing more 4x4/dancey beat influenced tracks
so basically its bass driven house & garage music between 130-140.

nah bass music is just UK underground minus urban music tbh
garage, dubstep, dnb, etc all fall under it - but its used more so for the ones that don't truly have a name - like the housey dubstep, future garage, experimental, swamp81 type ish

The irony of this being in XLR8R, the magazine that essentially gave the sound known as 'dubstep' a name. I know what is meant by post-dubstep, I think I consider it more post-Skrillex tbh.
Oneman can f*ck off about 'music from London' too. I think he's taking himself too seriously with that one, especially seeing as he doesn't make any music himself. Come like he's never heard a J. Sparrow or Lil' Silva beat. Nutter.
Bass music is probably the broadest term I've ever heard used to describe a sound. It only works as an umbrella for about 3/4 different sounds.
I consider bass music anything from 120bpm to 180bpm, British (or not, as long as there is an attempt to relate to the 'sound'), with some decent <120hz frequencies.

Think he means "originates from London" - dubstep or funky from another area wouldn't fall under another genre name. Unless you're genre is bassline

Ed.
Don't matter. Yeah it's whatever, just annoying.
There is more music being made in this 'bass music' genre from outside London than in it, put it that way.

Yeah you missed out, pissed. O/T anyway.
Don't like the idea of this sh*t being London-centric, that's all.
