The new Bass / Club categorization aims to promote the more niche genres of dance music that deserve further visibility but are currently not large enough to warrant their own standalone sections. Listen to a selection of fresh tracks from the genre page below. The boundaries between these genres continue to blur, so having one term to hold it all makes sense.”Ĭheck out Beatport’s new 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime genre page. It stands for an entire culture of bass music influenced by dubstep, grime, and trap. Over the last few years, 140 has become a broad term that represents more than just dubstep. Speaking on the importance of distinguishing the two sides of dubstep, DUPLOC’s label owner Pieter Grauwels said: “It is fair to say that after the 2010 era, the ‘heavy’ and ‘deep’ sides of dubstep have been strongly separated, especially in terms of the communities surrounding the two sides. Represented by labels like DUPLOC, White Peach, Deep Medi Musik, and acts such as Sicaria Sound, Hypho, and Teffa, the new 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime categorization will host the sonic creations that call back the origins of the Dubstep genre and continue to innovate 140 BPM sound system culture worldwide. Learn more about each of Beatport’s new genre pages, the motivation behind their creation, and the recategorization process below. We’re confident that these new categorizations will be a significant step in solidifying Beatport as a leading hub and destination for all the compelling and distinct facets of the global ‘Bass music’ community.” It is in a state of perpetual evolution therefore, reinventing our genre pages to deliver more precise representation for our artists, labels, and audience is an essential undertaking. We are confident that this change will bring a more precise classification of sounds and greater representation to the many deserving bass-driven music communities worldwide.īeatport’s Bass curator, Yann Bonnet adds: “The different origins and influences of what we call ‘Bass music’ has become incredibly diverse and heterogeneous over the years. Our Reggae / Dancehall / Dub section has also been decommissioned, with its releases migrating to the Bass / Club section.
Releases on our Leftfield pages will be categorized accordingly amongst these three new genre sections. To make this expansion possible and help further improve Beatport’s user experience, our Leftfield House / Techno and Leftfield Bass sections will no longer exist.
With the launch of these three new and refurbished genre pages, Beatport will give artists, distributors, and labels a new home where their distinct sounds can thrive amongst more like-minded tunes with their own Top 100 charts, expertly curated playlists, store spotlights, a dedicated section in Beatport LINK, and more. Beatport is introducing two new genres to the store - 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime and Bass / Club - and updating its current Breaks sections to Breaks / Breakbeat / UK Bass.
