Bass house is what happened when somebody decided UK garage needed to be angrier. It is not a subtle genre and it does not want to be, and there is a real pleasure in a room that has stopped pretending otherwise.
AC Slater runs Night Bass, a label and party that spent a decade building the American home for this sound almost entirely outside the festival circuit — club rooms, a devoted mailing list, and a crowd that treats the label like a team they support. That is an unusual thing to have built in dance music, where most brands are a logo on a stage. Night Bass nights have regulars who recognize each other.
Halloween weekend on Hollywood Boulevard, which means the costumes will be committed and the room will be at capacity by midnight.
Doors at ten on Friday the thirtieth, running until three.
