Garage/2step/bassline/niche/4x4

[jaydot]

Can someone explain the difference in genre's to me?

Anyone produce it on here? I like the bouncier side of bassline like A1 and the classic garage with female vocals.

Here's a preview of a very rough track I made today btw:

Soundcloud

I'm bothered about the drums being right mostly.

Im slowly learning the difference because i too am interested in prejudicing more 2-steppy beats. I even have a male vocalist who i wanna test out on some songs. As far as i know 2-step and garage are more or less the same drum-wise. its got that early second snare quite often but as fat as bassline/4x4/whatever. sorry i couldnt listen to your song mate but im in class

The two different beats in all that is 2-step and a 4/4 beat.

People call Garage different things in the UK. There is old House that is 4/4 beat that some people call Garage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnk1JwKOtmc) and there is also the 2step type of Garage with a swing too (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Q90q5p ... re=related).

I dont know anything about Bassline, Niche and 4x4 but I think they are all roughly the same?

A quick search found this for Niche. Square waves basslines, horrible vocals and a 4x4 House beat.

Garage is like boom chk k ummmmmmm.
2 step is like chikakika tap.
Niche is like donk donk.
Bassline is like waaaauuurp waaaauuurp waurp warwarwrp.
And 4x4 is a form of garage rhythm but with a 4/4 kick underlining it. Although it is a bit donk and a bit waaaurp.

Ah I love Sheffield even though it's shit.

Agreed, very well put!

There's a niche club in Leeds and it's big in Manchester too....bassline is hit and miss tbh. There's some good remixes out there and Heartbroken is stilll a tune

[Stay Forging Paths]

Heartbroken is stilll a tune

lol this man I work with showed me a documentary about the UK scene. It was filmed in '07 and they were talking about it then, so possibly Heartbroken came out in '06. That tune still goes off?

[jaydot]

It goes off yeah, but not as much as when it was first out and rarely now.

I love garage drums and bass, but the vocals shit me tbh. Just RnB crap, hate the vibe it makes. IT's really annoyting because on so many tracks it starts and I'm like "this is awesome!" but before long the wailing about how I shouldn't have let you go begins, and it's cry time
