Tom Middleton : Bassmusic Roots + Inspirations

To mark the release of Tom Middleton's debut sample loop pack for Loopmaster Artist Series AS101 which was released yesterday (18th May) @  www.loopmasters.com

Bass House, Liquatech, Post-Dubstep, Future Jungle..Complextro..seems there's a new dance music genre every season.

So where does modern Bass Music come from?

You could rewind back to late 60's-70's Jamaica, Sound System and Dancehall culture,18" Sub Woofers, King Tubby's pioneering Dub experiments etc, but I'm picking up the story just after the mid 80s' in both Miami and Chicago.

This is the story of Bass, Bleeps and Breaks between 1986 and 1992.
The evolution of a post Disco-Electro-HipHop-Industrial home produced sound that fused analogue drum machines, synthesisers, sampling, sped up funk breakbeats, MC's toasting on the mic and snippets of Reggae and Dancehall anthems.
And in particular Tom wanted to find the first record that used a Roland TR808 Kick drum melodically to play full Bass parts
The rest of the music selection should speak for itself.
Space and Bass dot joinery!

It's mostly chronological with two exceptions.
Future Sound Of London sampled the Sub Bass part in Meat Beat Manifesto's 'Radio Babylon' in their own anthem 'Papua New Guinea' - just made sense to have them in that order.
Similarly, LTJ Bukem's 'Demon's Theme' uses the snare from A Guy Called Geralds '28 Gun Badboy' (amongst other absolute classic samples…)

These are all stone cold Bass Anthems by true Electronic Music Pioneers.
I salute and thank all of the Artists for such inspirational music.
