From Wikipedia
UK bass, also called bass music, is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged in the United Kingdom during the mid-2000s under the influence of diverse genres such as house, grime, dubstep, future garage, R&B, and UK funky. The term "UK bass" came into use as artists began ambiguously blending the sounds of these defined genres while maintaining an emphasis on percussive, bass-led rhythm.
UK bass is sometimes conflated with bassline or post-dubstep. It is not to be confused with the hip-hop and electro-based genre Miami bass, which is sometimes called "bass music" as well.
