world bass
World Bass is a style of music that draws influence from World Music & Bass Music, and/or Electronic Dance Music in general.
Without limiting technical specifications, this broader definition allows the term "world bass" to transcend more specific sub-genre labels like "house," "trap," "dubstep," or "downtempo," so that any song that combines electronic elements with world music influences can fit the world bass vibe.
Examples of artists who make or have made world bass music in the past:
CloZee, Baauer, Bonobo, Charlesthefirst, Liquid Stranger, Tipper, Emancipator, Tokimonsta, KOAN Sound, Lil Fish, IHF, VOLO, Plantrae, Desert Dwellers, Magic In The Rain, Bastion
From the welcome channel of the World Bass Family discord server:
"The internet has facilitated the spread and exchange of information and culture on a far more rapid and global scale than at any other point in history. Music has always been considered a Universal Language, and the global rise of electronic music and dance music is a testament to this concept. With these truths in mind, we embrace the fact that cultures from around the world will influence and improve electronic music by incorporating traditional styles and sounds, some of which date back thousands of years. This duality between history and futurism, tradition and innovation, tribalism and globalism, is what makes World Bass music uniquely beautiful, and it is the diversity this duality cultivates which makes the world bass scene strong."

Check out this world bass song that incorporates Chinese Xiao flutes with African Djembe drum breaks over a grimey bass line! So worldly!!
This new artist I found has a world bass vibe; they like layering ethnic string instruments over their synth leads!
What's the name of that track that combines Native American vocal samples and taiko drums over a four-to-the-floor drop? I guess you could call it techno... with a world bass vibe?? I don't know, f**k genres, man!! Music is music!!!
