Correct me if I'm wrong (Frankie?), but as I understand it what 430 West
is saying is that these artists (and their influences) have been doing
this stuff for years, before people were calling it "electro" (and hyping
it in NME), and referring to it as bass music. Calling it "techno bass"
distinguishes it from, say, Miami bass, which has a lot of the same
antecedents but a, um, decidedly different focus (boo-tay!).
