The evolution of future bass has been interesting to see. At first identified by a very distinct set of synths and rhythms, it’s now become a sort of catch-all term for any kind of sweeping synth with a rhythm that doesn’t neatly fall into dubstep, trap or house. In that sense, it has sort of been able to break free of a lot of shackles that other genres have, and the kinds of songs coming out of the makeshift genre have been the most varied of any genre in a long time.
Take this new song, “Pilot,” by Impala featuring Tima Dee. You still have those tell-tale sweeping synths, but you also have the Jack Ü snare and a more swinging rhythm, accompanied by ballad-esque vocals. There’s a lot going on, but because of the “fuck genres” attitude of future bass, there’s so much that can be done to meld everything together and create something beautiful.
