Birmingham bassline/UKB

does anybody know much about the birmingham bassline scene then?

i know i like dj pantha!

i would heartily recommend you download some mixes from his myspace blog. (though you'll have to copy and paste cos myspace is so waste.) i'm only up to 23 (!) but 24 and 25 are downloading...

he's got an interesting palette of sounds i reckon. some of it sounds familiar in other respects, but some of it has broken up beats rather than that slightly militant stomp, which apparently some people are trying to call 'UKB'. apparantly emvee has some tracks like this as well, but he doesn't seem to be putting them about much yet.

sounds a bit like bassline mixed with breakbeat garage (as in zinc etc) i guess. don't really know any other producers unfortunately, maybe someone here does?

oh, ok, the way i interpreted what i heard is that is was more garagey meaning 2 steppy because of the beats mainly, didn't realise it was supposed to be more song based.

to be honest it's a while since i heard any bassline that thrilled me apart from birmingham stuff for some reason.

i'm sure you're right to some extent!

i put on quite a lot of the djs in london a while ago but the inspiration to do it kind of dwindled, until recently. the response was always pretty good though.

i had heard that but didn't know what it was so thanks! it is wicked, although not a million miles away from the 2-step of 10 years ago i guess... bass boy is pretty much always good.
