What is bass house music?

Bass house emerged in the mid-2010s as a dynamic fusion of house music, incorporating elements of dubstep, electro house, and UK garage.

Bass house is characterized by its powerful basslines, intense sound design, and a fusion of elements from dubstep and electro house.

Bass house has evolved to embrace diverse influences, higher production quality, and seamless fusion with genres like tech house and future house.

Bass house has significantly influenced EDM production techniques and has been seamlessly integrated into pop and mainstream dance music.

Key elements of this genre include deep basslines, distorted synthesizers, steady four-on-the-floor beats, and often, vocal chops or sampled audio.

Bass house music typically ranges from 125 to 135 BPM, with most tracks settling around 128 BPM.

Sound design plays a vital role in bass house music, as producers strive to craft distinctive, often distorted, and aggressive bass sounds that define the genre.

Popular software for producing bass house includes Ableton Live, FL Studio, and a variety of VST plugins for bass sound design.

Notable bass house artists include Jauz, Joyryde, Habstrakt, AC Slater, and Tchami.

Ghost production is a common practice in bass house, with many established artists relying on ghost producers to enhance their output and maintain a consistent release schedule.
