UK Bass is the official genre that is a sequel to dubstep.
Not really, Dubstep was still going when UK bass was being made. The majority of the dubstep producers didn't switch to UK bass, or even a minority. Unlike jungle to UK garage, or garage to grime. The exception is someone like Untold, although he was always magpieish.
Negative Miami sees FWD as being important because it is the only club night that represented modern day sonical elucidations of the hardcore continuum and FWD hosted djs that played modern day hardcore continuum genres from the 2000s and the 2010s.
Out of interest, why is this important to you? For me the hardcore continuum has become so diffuse by 2010 that you can struggle to neatly compartmentalise it. With rinse going legal and the internet displacing pirate radio in its traditional form, then you can struggle to chart a neat trajectory. There are too many branches, which wasn't the case as much in the 90s and early 00s. Or alternatively of course you can take the extremely macro definition of hardcore continuum being black music from ends, in which case UK drill and UK rap can be included, but then what becomes specifically hardcore about it? You could call it the inner city continuum (awful name I know.)
UK Bass was a sonically entertaining genre but it lacked genre defining articles and a genre defining written narrative online.
I don't know what this means. All the journalists creamed themselves over UK bass, even though most of it was fairly anaemic.
in terms of techno, fans of uk bass and the uk bass fanbase, researched techno music and also researched old school techno music, however it was a different genre than uk bass. basic knowledge of techno and fit detroit techno, however, helps a fan understand artists that belong to the uk bass genres influences.
Here I am talking about a techno aesthetic within the UK bass producers. Chiefly Peverelist and Blawan. In fact, both of those producers got adopted by the techno scene, more or less, and that's why they managed to keep their longevity.
Corsica Studios was an important club for UK Bass music.
Not particularly. UK bass and post-dubstep was never really a coherent entity for it to have a defining club. In fact I went to Corsica religiously between 2010-15, and most of the nights I went to were either industrial techno, dnb and sometimes US deep house a la Theo Parrish.
In fact, when I did attend what you could call something like a UK bass night (not at Corsica) but at (TBA East London warehouse) meaning Ikon Studios in Hackney Wick, with the lineup being Pangaea, Blawan and Objekt, Pangaea stuck pretty faithfully to the UK bass/post-dubstep handbook, playing tracks like Zombie - Mozaik and Julio Bashmore - Battle for Middle You. A good warm up set for sure, but could never be peak time.
In contrast, both blawan and Objekt went out for full out panel beating techno and electro assaults. And you could see the crowds thinning. But for me it was great, Allah kareem, because I don't know how much of semi-housey goldsmiths posh mans bass music I could take.
Objekt played this Claxon plate from 2001, despite being Dutch, had more of the spirit of what UK bass wanted to be, but could never.
Another great one. Prime UK elektro bizniz! way more guts than what Pangaea was playing, lost my shit to this one, serious dystopian brock out apocalyptic machine funk.
