Welsh bass.

Can we go the other way, that is, name a genre, and then work out what it should sound like?

No. But you are welcome to start a thread that does that.

I actually really want to know what genre the song in the OP is. BristolEcho danski ska invita

 

[danski]

Hth

 

[PTK]

I quite like Cornish Treble, but it is not as pleasant as Danish Flavour.

 

[girasol]

Techno is what I'm thinking...

But my dance music categories knowledge is restricted to Drum & Bass, Techno, Acid Techno, breakbeats, jungle, trance etc level. i.e. 90s/2000s

Maybe Acid techno? nah... Not bouncy enough.

 

[danny la rouge]

I mean, it actually is UK bass or nu electro. I wasn’t joking. (Welsh bass was a joke though).

 

[girasol]

On their Souncloud page there were no tags re: genre - so maybe they don't want labels or something?



Oh, interesting, I didn't know exactly what UK bass meant out of touch but that makes sense because I thought oooh, it sounds a bit D&B, it sounds a bit techno, a bit acid...

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]

It sounds very like the kind of thing you’d hear the Hessle Audio lot play, so I’m gonna defer to Danny here

No don't. He has already answered. Unsatisfactorily.

Annoying

 

[spitfire]

Sounds like devils music and we’ll have no truck with it here!

 

[spitfire]

But some sort of crossover between psy-trance and drum and bass.

Breaks, speed up
Yeah a few things in there, uk bass/techno/breaks
They've played in smallish place outside centre of Cardiff a couple of times

nogojones will know!

 

[JimW]

Thought Welsh tenors were more famous than their bass.

Will I now?

I lean towards breaks. There seems to be a reassessment of that nu-skool breaks sound from the late 90's. This, bassed up a bit. UK bass-ified if you like.

 

[Dystopiary]

It's got a donk on it.

if i owned it i would put it in my jungle folder...its 160 bpm which is the classic jungle tempo and its drums are basically a jungle feel....it would (only) mix into other jungle tunes.....but for the non drum and bass sounds within it unusually its got acid techno sounds on it, so a fusion between those two genres, jungle and acid techo.....so (nu skool) jungle techno about sums it up

It's a cool track. I had a look at the artists other stuff too as he reminded me of a Pessimist.

To confuse things more I'd lean towards Acid Breaks, but very fast compared to other tracks. It always gets harder with sub genres though.

I hadn't read your post properly. I love a lot of music that holds the ground between techno and jungle.
