Speedbass

The Speedbass is a musical genre. At the origin, this style of music coming from the west of the United States was born from a mixing public, diffusing by Internet and listening to mixtures of gabber and Drum and low, without worrying to belong to a kind.

The direct mixture of these two styles, also integrating savors of dub and techniques of dj hip hop, gave a new kind of electronic music. In San Francisco, the S.P.A.Z crew and other people was at the origin of the creation of this hybrid kind which will become the speedbass. Other types, like Steven Prothero of Iron Feather Newspaper in Boulder, Colorado, followed the same way. Other similar scenes developed in the north of America, like the scene hardcore new yorkaise and the " heavy bass" Techno of Wisconsin.

The term Speedbass was applied specifically to this movement by the Californian musician Terbo Ted at the end of 1998, and this word was quickly spread.
