Music Influences

Influences: TRACK 1

The first track I am composing for our film draws on many genre conventions found within UK Bass music. The most prominent influences in terms of genre would be Grime, 2-Step or UK Garage. Here are three examples of songs that could be crediting as having a significant influence on my production of TRACK 1:

Youngstar - Formula 2

Alias - Gladiator II

Musical Mob - Pulse X

One can easily hear the recurring use of a 2 step rhythm and pulse bass sounds, usually created through the manipulation of a kick. 

The grime movement emerged in the early 2000's in the UK as an extension of UK Garage, Hip-Hop, Drum and Bass and Dancehall. Pule X is credited as being one of the first Grime songs. The genre really emerged in East London through pirate radio stations and producers movement away from the House influences of Garage and into a 'grittier' themes and sounds.
