Future Bass (Either around 100BPM or around 140BPM )
Typical artists: Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Slushii, Fuzzi Kittenz)
Future Bass可以被称为是EDM的“当代电台之声”,许多艺人,比如The Chainsmokers都利用这个乐种获得了极高的知名度和关注度。它旋律性强,韵律带有嘻哈风格。但与此同时,它的旋律和和弦确实简单的,甚至幼稚的,时常搭配片段式的、升高音调的人声采样。从这个角度上来看,Future Bass非常具有流行度,也很受商业电台的青睐,比起其他一些需要更高音乐素养的乐种来说,是一种老少咸宜的音乐风格。Future Bass是一个崭新的乐种,但却已经风靡了世界。许多知名艺人(比如R3hab)都将Future Bass作为他们的主要风格,大大加强了Future Bass的声势。Marshmello的Alone就是Future Bass的典范。
This could be described as “the sound of today’s radio” in EDM, with artists like the Chainsmokers using it to gain massive popularity. It’s melodic, hip-hop based in rhythm, but features simple, almost childish melodies and chords paired with pitched and chopped vocal melodies. In this sense, it’s very pop/radio friendly and widely accessible to audiences young and old, whereas some of the other, more esoteric genres of EDM require a more refined musical palette to appreciate. Future Bass is new, but it’s sweeping the world rapidly, with many big artists (such as R3hab) switching their main genres to support this new trend. Notable examples include “Alone” from Marshmello.
