DJ Q & Bonez - You Wot (Video)

[Fearless-Guy]

i swear prove me wrong but every bassline tune ive heard apart from h20 whats it gonna be, is separated into two bars. the first bar is some strings or some squelch bass playing an attempt of a melody then the second bar is the same bass at a lower octave that goes wob wob wob

[L]

. Do you think all 2 step sounds the same based on the drum pattern

Wrong genre to use for that anologyThe amount of different uk garage drum patterns is f*ck*ng rediculous I think thats why my brain hurts when i try make house tunes, you just cant have the same diversity in the percussion

i swear prove me wrong but every bassline tune ive heard apart from h20 whats it gonna be,

I still dont get how they even class that as a bassline tune

[spiderman]

Co sign Colin, Spiderman always says the same thing.How the f*ck can man be HONESTLY saying this sounds the same as Heartbroken?Can't take people seriously after retarded comments like that.

where the f*ck did i say it sounds the same as heartbroken ffs i already said, not EVERY tune is gna sound EXACTLY the same...wot i meant was that it gives of similar vibes, and a large portion of the UNDERGROUND STUFF sounds very similar cos they use a lot of similar sounds and patterns....im nt talkin bout these bait tracks like heartbroken, its nt my fault if dats all u no.tbh bassline music gives off ONLY 1 emotion most the time, ders not much substance to the majority of it.

The beat, it does - them Bassline beats all sound the same, i swear you posted up beats sayin youd prove everyone wrong and everyone still said it sounded the same?Its just the same blueprint everytime with these tunes and it gets so repetitive and boring, when youre out you dont even know when a next tunes been mixed in if it doesnt have a vocal - it is just dullI cant wait for the mainstream hype of this sh*t to die out tbh, fair enough everyone likes it can go raving to it but im fed up of hearing the sh*t on tv/radio/kids fones - the old garage tunes that were bassline/speed garage were ALOT better than this sh*t these days

Its a 4x4 drum pattern, hence the name bassline 4x4. Do you think all 2 step sounds the same based on the drum pattern or do you listen to the rest of the elements that make up the tune? All the people who said they sounded the same were people who have been cussing bassline for time, opinions were decided before I even posted them.I think soca was the only person who wasn't involved in the argument who gave her opinion and she said they didn't sound the same.As for not being able to tell when a next tune comes in, obviously it depends on the tunes being played?!? Its these sort of comments that confirm to me people judge bassline by different standard they judge the music they listen to. I've been listening to bassline and various forms of house for a while and I can honestly say the arrangement of house tunes tend to be a lot more repetitive, you can get away with repeating an 8 bar sequence for 64 bars straight in house. If you judged house or dubstep by the same measure you judge bassline you'd find equally as many things to criticise.

the drum pattern is what defines it as bassline HOUSE/4x4....i dnt no about everyone else but im nt criticising that, they use that template in other house scenes and it can STILL have a variation of tunes....its just this...

It's the sounds used and the limitation of sticking to a 4/4 pattern. To most people who hear Bassline there's only 2 different types of bass synths used, even if there are subtle differences, they are not noticable enough to the layman for them to discern between one fruity loops production made using a square bass played thourhg about 3 different octaves and another.

there just not different enough tbh, very very similar sounding bass synth on a lot of the tunes....im not f*ckin talkin bout them ALL being the same, cos clearly everyone thinks that im generalising so is itching to throw tune names out. its just if i listen to a bassline mixtape, 70% of the bass synths will sound too similar.

lol at FLLike I said before if you applied the same scrutiny to the genre you listen to you would realise you could pick holes in it all day long. For example Maniac, Skepta and Wiley use square basses in a lot of their tunes but would you say that Skepta - Dead sounds the same as Wiley - gangsters or Maniac - Bow e3? No you wouldnt for the simple reason how the sounds is used is the most important thing. I actually get the point your making but I upped 5 tunes using different basses, some sine basses, some square and man tried to tell me they were the same which confirms to me that the responses would have been the same no matter what I upped. what gives me the most jokes is most man who are constantly cussing basline listen to funky house grime or dubstep. How can people who at one point were skanking out to pulse x or triplets (1, 2 and 3) be telling me bassline is repetitive? How can people who are bigging up Apple - Mr Bean or Siegalizer be saying bassline is repetitive, those tunes are basically an 8 bar arrangement looped for 5 minutes. Same can be said for Benga & coki night, the arrangement is very ssimple, pretty much an 8 bar loop. None of these genres are known for arrangement that rivals anything you'd hear from an orchestral piece so llow making it out as if grime, dubstep or funky house producers are so musically articulate that bassline is repetitive in comparison.Thats my point exactly L, you can alter a basic template of a drum pattern to make it sound different which is what people do with all genres. Some producers stick with a rigid 4x4 pattern while the some producers alter it to put their own style on it.Spiderman I don't even understand how you can say bassline gives off 1 emotion, thats such a dumb comment. Music can be used to convey any emotion, its not based on the genre its primarily based on the melodies used. Heartbroken and You wot do not convey the same emotion.

[Jo Dark]

Excuse my lack of music knowledge...Dubstep as a whole isn't a good genre to compare to because it has the fast and slow stuff. 'Night' is not representative of the whole of dubstep music, perhaps of the fast stuff only. And then there are clearly different styles coming from different artists. Even if you look at production duos like Digital Mystikz or Cotti and Cluekid each half have their own distinctive styles.

If Grime was limited to tunes which sounded like Bow E3, Gangsters and Dead it would be open to accusations of it all sounding the same. Half time, synth driven with a square bass. But it isn't.Bassline doesn't sound repetetive to the layman due to arrangement in individual tunes, it sounds repetetive due to the similarities from tune to tune.Sameway most UK Funky House sounds very similar now unless you put a vocal on it with the same stereotypical Soca drum pattern.When you love something you appreciate the subtle nuances in it's variations. But to the average listener it does sound very similar.

Basically what I was saying, although in a way not just restricted to dubstep. As I've just mentioned, I'm not a musical genius, so I don't know what LFOs and stuff mean, but quite a bit of the bassline I've heard does sound the same from tune to tune. I'll say that T2's stuff is a bit more restrained (less synth, I can't really explain well), so I would be more likely to identify his music than others.

meh, fair enuff der tunes for 2 different thoughts, but its just that bait bassline bass sound i hear in 70% of the tunes, its just not deep at all. bit of hype then it gets boring.wen i hear that bass sound dats very very similar it just brings out dat 1D emotion, i dnt feel anything more then a little bounce...corse every genre has tunes which are "shallow" and nt anything more then a bit of hype, but its the repitition of the similar sound i think that kinda makes me bored quicker.

[Numero001]

Basslines sh*t, literally frustrates me. Give me funky over this anyday.However, this songs top 10 tho. "You Wot" will be screamed when the DJ cuts the music with little mainstream boys and girls bussing gunfingers and off-beat skanks. Dancing off-beat to Bassline lol shouldnt be possible reallyIts what I dub chessy-gangsta music

Yea but the kick's always gonna be 4x42 step it aint even close you can put the kick wherever the f*ck you want, even disregarding the kick i'm sure you'll admit the percussion is alot more varied in 2 step garage, surely..?I actually don't mind a bit of bassline garage *cough* i mean bassline house.. But the sounds and patterns are seriously f*ck*ng similar.. Even down to that slow down triplets break down about 10 of the commercial tunes have

[*The One*]

Gotta say I love bassline, but then I am from up north lol.U Londoners stick to your funky n we'll stick to d bassline

It's not about sticking to anything. Bassline and Funky are both to be enjoyed right now. Enjoy them BOTH while they are here. I feel that people are missing out on both sides.+I must have come into at least 5 of these topics and typed compare TUNE A to TUNE B so how can they use the same sounds, patterns and arrangements. I made a list a while back in one topic of my 10 favourtie producers, all of which use different SOUNDS, PATTERNS and ARRANGEMENTS. But hey, I will keep typing this same "SHITE" in these threads to improve the till.

[*The One*]

I think funky and bassline are very similar to be honest.They are probably two of the most distinguishable and clear genres out there at the minute.I love both to be honest

Co-sign to the fullest.It's all about raves where they're playing grime, funky, bassline, old skool garage & and miscellaneous other genres as well.Segregation is not the way forward.

[Lot To Learn]

Just wanted to say that you wot you wot is aload of bollox.Was in malia for a month and people kept on saying it got well annoying.Lol at Dj Q and Mc Bonez at Camelot Castle both nights flopped.The first there was bout 20 people and second didnt even open because no one wanted to go.Ps went to 2 bassline events out there and IMO they was both sh*t.Seemed well repeative to me.

[Colin Turnover]

LOL @ people to go Malia for Bassline.

[Guest Sorter.]
