dubstep heads an e'ryting, but I've been gettin' into it obsessively. First shot at a garagey bass song so lemme know if it's on point.

btw that wasnt referencing your tunes. I was just wondering wtf bassline is.
Anyway, Blowpop. Yeah nice tune, i cant comment really any more, my opinion doesn't mean much to you since there isn't much of that scene here in London.
Only thing I would say is that the tune sounds horribly over compressed. Sounds almost like you have sidechained the bass against the beat. The beat is lost in the sound, can barely hear it here.

i doesn't sound over compressed to me, or side-chained. but then again i'm a bit of a fiend on the compression. It just sounds like the bass plays around the beat a bit + the beat is quiet to place the bass upfront in the mix.
i dunno, just what it sounds like to me.

The bass is side-chained to let the kicks stand out. As for the whole genre thing, it up for debate.
been checkin' out relesases from these labels: prim and propa, Northern Line recs, Music Hustler, and more 2 da floor.
Liking the grimey and instrumental dirty compressed bass fueled stuff a little more than the chipmunk RnB pop type stuff, but it's all new to me. Anyways thanks for tha' comments.

Whatever you call it, bassline or 4x4 or whatever it's all got it's roots in the speed garage movement of the past. I grew up listening to speed garage and as soon as i heard this track thats what i remembered. If you want to categorize every music with 14 thousand different sub-genres please go ahead but i prefer to simplify things.
