Love & Future Bass

What's so good?

By Anu | February 23rd, 2013

I know you were sitting there thinking, “All I really need is some love and future bass.” Well, you came to the right place, because Indie Shuffle grants musical wishes on the daily, so go ahead and press play.

Some of you were more likely thinking, “What is future bass anyways?” As this world of ours continues to melt together, we’re understandably culturally confused (or enthused), especially when it comes to slicing producers, who don’t want to be stifled, into their electronic genres.

With that said, all I have is an ambiguous answer for you — it’s post-dubstep, future garage, 2step, UK funky, soul, R&B, house, hip-hop and something I’m forgetting. Since someone had to give all of those raindrops bouncing off one discernible umbrella a name, it was decided somewhere (by someone with a British accent, most likely) to be called future bass.

I took part of this umbrella, a subtle sample drenched in danceable vocals, and saved it for this rainy day (enough with the metaphor, I know). Anyway, it’s probably only raining where I am. Where I should be, off the Arabian coastline dancing in the Goa sunshine, I’d still be listening to this playlist, and you should be too. So, one, two, three… go.
