Not sure what they call it elsewere its just been dubbed electro here.
Basically a 4tt4 drumbeat and an extremely loud bass pattern (usually and characteristically going out of sync and tune at various points to add erm.. variation).
have a look around for fedde le grands hand's up for detroit for the finger pointer*, that kinda started the whole trend and now everyone and his mum are copying it.. very few are actually any good.
* though personally speaking I think ferry corstens the one to blame with "punk" as thats where that bass noise seemed to first surface.. but thats just me theres a billion other people out there who would swear me blind and deaf to say different hehe.

Re: What Styles..
I'm not sure if were talking about the same Extreme Bass, but the first band that I recall that took BASS to a higher level, was "L.F.O" by Warp Records and not the boyband. The Track was called "We Are Back" and it came with a disclaimer that you can cause speaker damage. I still have this CD in my collection and the room shakes when played back.Infamous wrote: * though personally speaking I think ferry corstens the one to blame with "punk" as thats where that bass noise seemed to first surface.. but thats just me theres a billion other people out there who would swear me blind and deaf to say different hehe.
Re: What Styles..
nightmares on wax! and the hilarious "what is house" where according to them "technotronic" are a house outfit.. the word your looking for is SHIT.. not house .. ahem .... but yeah i know LFO very well (i come from all that dont i xD)
this isnt really a strong bass signature that gets played anymore its just ... i dunno lol, its so hard to describe without sounding a bit of a twat, Its x3 square (you can do a pretty accurate impression of it with the vangaurd as it goes) its heavily filtered and you have mid then -2 +2 for the other 2 squares, then fiddle in realtime with the decay etc and if you want it to go out of tune, just turn the bands to -1 +1 etc (see told you i'd sound like a twat).
I'll clip up something and stick it here to give everyone an idea what the heck im talking about lol.

after YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS . .. of absence ..
i ADMIT .. that my house remix is UTTER SHIT! .. . i don't know what the problem was back then ..
but the mixing/mastering .. man, nowadays i'd fire the dude if somebody came up to me with such a mastering!
so yes, in these 8 years i've learned alot about mixing, mastering, transients and stuff like that.
and yes, i absolutely understand why that house remix of beams of light didn't really had a chance
i haven't done any remixes since then. only my own crap. until some weeks ago ..
i think the audio quality of that remix is galaxys better than the house remix
