About

Experimental Bass is a subgenre of electronic dance music (EDM) characterized by its focus on sound design, unconventional rhythms, and exploration of the lower frequencies. It often incorporates elements from dubstep, drum and bass, glitch hop, and other bass-heavy genres, while pushing the boundaries of sonic experimentation.

History

Experimental Bass emerged in the early 2010s as producers began to deviate from the established formulas of dubstep and other bass music genres. Artists sought to create more intricate and innovative soundscapes, prioritizing sound design and rhythmic complexity over conventional song structures. Early pioneers drew inspiration from IDM, glitch, and world music, blending these influences with the raw power of bass music. Online platforms like SoundCloud played a crucial role in the genre's development, allowing producers to share their work and collaborate with others. The genre has continued to evolve, incorporating new techniques and influences from various electronic music scenes.
