Beatport just recognized bass house as an ficial genre category and to be honest — it’s about time.
Part the beauty Beatport is its user-friendly interface and breakdown by genre. The ability a music lover has to go down the rabbit hole any given category and hear an in depth snapshot the current trends is second to none. Truly an unbeatable experience.
It can be dangerous at times, because with all the popping charts and relevant, hand-picked selections — it’s easy to spend a lot money on music. However, Beatport hasn’t fully capitalized on the bass house genre until now. With Jauz, JOYRYDE, Malaa, Tchami and more dominating the category, it’s going to be hard to stop exploring bass house once you’ve started.
In 2014, Jauz hit us with “Feel The Volume” and we all felt the bass house movement come alive. Even if you don’t absolutely love that style music, it’s impossible to ignore it’s impact on EDM and dance music culture.
Thankfully, the days bass house productions being sprinkled into categories such as electro and future house, garage and more are over. At this point, the genre has been popularized enough to be its own thing. We’re stoked — and we’re not the only ones.
