Welcome to Beyond the Bassline

By Ajay Benmoin

Just like a lot of people, music has always been my safe space. But the more I talked to others about the music they loved, the more I realized how powerful it is in shaping who we are and how we connect. That’s what sparked Beyond the Bassline—a blog built to celebrate the individuality, emotion, and community behind the sounds that move us.

This isn’t just another music blog. I didn’t start this to chase trends or drop hot takes. I started Beyond the Bassline because I wanted to create a space where people could talk about the music they actually care about—without limits, without judgment. Whether it’s a concert that changed your life, a deep-cut album you swear by, or a genre that gets you through the day, this blog is your platform to share it.

We’re not about genres or popularity here. We’re about passion. And most importantly, we’re about discovery. I want this to be a space where readers come away with a new artist to check out, a different perspective, or even a renewed love for music. Because when we open up about what we listen to and why, we let people in—and that’s where the magic happens.

So if you’ve ever had a song on repeat and wished someone else could just get it, this blog is for you. If you’ve ever wanted to share a track that no one’s heard of yet, do it here. If you just love music and want to be around people who feel the same—welcome.

Let’s make music fun again. Let’s go beyond the bassline.
