BASSLINE...

I have an unhealthy obsession with bassline...

At first i was sceptical... (i remember garage the first time around)

"This is nothing new" i thought to myself, this is repackaged garage with (even) cheesier vocals and (even) more stupid sounds...

Yet, the more i heard the more i craved, and looking beyond "club smashes" like T2's Heartbroken i found a whole world of bassline to explore...

So, before you dismiss this music please take a moment to listen to some artists like "The Squire of Gothos", "Rico Tubbs" and "Jackbeats" because there is some really rather good stuff out there...

Here some selections from the 'tube to keep you bouncing (no videos but the tunes speak for themselves)

Yes Yes!

THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS - BOUNTY ICE CREAM

TRIP - WHO'S THAT (JACKBEATS REMIX)

(Ok, some people will call this fidget house, but i'm not about all this genre bashing bollocks... it fits the bassline and mixes with it to... so there)

H.U.D - GET MAD

Enjoy!

PS: A little bit of Wiki-pedia wisdom just to increase your interest:

"Like grime, bassline is still associated with violence, anti-social behaviour and criminal activity"

Sweet.
