UK music scene and genre / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about UK scene and genre. For umbrella term, see Bass music.
UK bass, also called bass music, is club music that emerged in the United Kingdom during the mid-2000s under the influence of diverse genres such as house, grime, dubstep, UK garage, R&B, and UK funky.[1] The term "UK bass" came into use as artists began ambiguously blending the sounds of these defined genres while maintaining an emphasis on percussive, bass-led rhythm.[2]

UK bass is sometimes conflated with bassline or post-dubstep.[3][4] It is not to be confused with the hip hop and electro-based genre Miami bass, which is sometimes called "bass music" as well.[5]
