bassbin – 4 – bassline house
Posted by Chris on August 20, 2007 at 12:03 am
bassline. flavour of the micromonth. niche house – occuping a wedge in the London scene between grime, dubstep and funky. popular all over the north of England. write-up in london paper. Dissensus here.
Joe Ruckus told me a couple of things about the history of the scene in Sheffield. The club ‘niche’ was a thin building round the corner from Gatecrasher that was known for being rough as arseholes – the sort of place bouncers went out to take all the drugs they’d confiscated during the week, then fight people. The club folded and re-opened not too far away in a slightly less narrow building that opens out onto an NCP carpark.
It’s interesting to see a style that is popular all over the north of england making inroads into the capital (Londoners like to think) the currents usually move in the opposite direction. Here’s a bassline mix done on a budget -
WordTheCat – Bassline House Mix (aug07) 192k 33.7mb
mavado – what them a do (dexplicit rmx)
dj q – shottas
dj q – gangstas
dexplicit – juicy fruit
dexplicit – good for me
t2 – oh boy
dexplicit ft jasmine – lollipop bass
dj q – what 2 do
dj q – dutty wine
t2 f/ jodie aysha – heatbroken rmx
t2 – flith
t2 – salsa
dj q is from huddersfield and dexplicit’s from london, i really rate leeds’ t2 for squeaky breaks and vocals. another great 4×4 mix doing the rounds at the moment is this one from faggatronix. like jump up drum and bass with no pulls ups.

niche is at club vibe in shef at the moment. having cleaned up its image a bit after shootings there’s a few more nights like stush at uniq, tight tight tight security tho. check local bwoys ben joel, ian b, lee malton, ds1, turbulence (not the notorious one)(although that would be heavy), j rugged etc etc
also beat bandits are vocalling a lot of self-produced niche tunes. not too much of a divide in the niche/grime scene here in shef

weird. dubstep is just barely making an impact here in D.C. cuz everyone’s on some dumb shit. Drum’n'bass is still relatively in effect, but all that shit is boring now. You can only go so far before you start recycling the shit that’s already been done… thanks for the heads up on this new shit. I’ll have to peep the mix tonight….
