Colourbass, or Colorbass is a subgenre of Dubstep/Brostep that uses effects and unique sound design to make the basses very vibrant, tuneful, and ''colorful''. Effects like chorus, and a vocoder give the
bass a very recognizable sound that you dont hear in other kinds of bass
music very often. Its bright, lush, and very melodic. Colourbass shares some similarity with Future riddim/Melodic riddim. Although colourbass is very broad, so it also takes alot of elements from
trap and Futurebass, while Future riddim keeps it closer to the roots of Riddim. Colourbass can be slightly heavy, with fat clap snares and spikey
bass plucks, but it can also be light hearted, with
nice bright chords and catchy drums.
Harvey Goldfinch, mostly known in the bass
music community as Chime, is sometimes referred to as the godfather of the genre. He also created the label Rush Down, which is the main
space for Colorbass today.
