Bass So Good… It’s Illegal.

Some people dance.

Some people throw their hands in the air.

And then there are those moments when the bass hits so hard that your face takes over.

If you’ve ever made one, you’re part of a global community of music lovers who know exactly what that feeling is.

Welcome to The Official Bass Face Movement, brought to you by Mutha FM.


What Is a Bass Face?

A Bass Face is the involuntary expression your face makes when the music hits just right.

It isn’t rehearsed.

It isn’t fake.

It’s a genuine reaction to a bassline that grabs hold of you.

Whether you’re in a nightclub, at a festival, behind the decks, in your car, or listening through your headphones, every electronic music lover has experienced it.

House. Tech House. Afro House. Melodic House. Progressive. Techno. Drum & Bass.

The genre doesn’t matter.

When the bass connects with your soul…

Your face tells the story.
