Future bass

Never Be Like You is a Future bass act. Their sound grew out of Justin Timberlake, Flying Lotus and Arca. Those roots explain a lot about how Never Be Like You arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Sweater Weather, Final Song, I Don't Wanna Live Forever, Habits and One Kiss, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Martin Solveig, Disclosure and Teengirl Fantasy, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 17 connections around Never Be Like You, reaching back through Justin Timberlake and forward to Martin Solveig.
