Future Bass: Snail's House

Defining a music genre can be a tricky job. Producers and artists are continuously trying to improve their music and experiment by mixing different styles. Especially in electronic music, borders can become vague. However when enough people start to use similar sounds and rhythms, eventually a pattern emerges which can then be named. So what happens if you take the hip hop influenced beats from trap music and mix them with the high-pitched sounds used in chiptune? You get future bass! Even though future bass is often quite upbeat, it still manages to give a relaxing feeling, while the addition of samples and electronic sounds keeps it from getting boring. One of my favourites at the moment is First Love by Snail's House. I discovered this song on the Tasty Network YouTube channel, which, by the way, is an excellent channel that promotes all kinds of electronic music. Other nice songs are Innocent by Cole Sipe and Monody by TheFatRat.
