Breaks n Bobs 017 w/ Oldboy + SILVA BUMPA

Those who study their UK Dance Music lore will have surely heard that Bassline existed for about 6 months and disappeared instantly in around 2008.

This, of course, is total bollocks. Bassline existed from the early 00s as a distinct genre with its own evolutions, sub genres and regional scenes. 

What is true that when the 4x4 grimey sub genre got absolute massive briefly with MCs and those looking for a darker more aggro clubbing experience a lot of folks slid into a hedge like Homer Simpson.

In reality the fall out from that time made some of the genres most progressive and impressive music and apart from DJ Q (who has literally never stopped doing this) picking out this sound and Midlands DJs like Apostle and TRC it was actually fairly hard to find this stuff online.

It was briefly dubbed "UKB", which is UKG mixed with B(assline) which is just really confusing because everyone fucking argues about both genres (they are the same thing! they are literally completely different! fuck you!).

I found out about this stuff by accident. I was following the 4x4 scene pretty hard at that point and making trips to Birmingham to pick up 12"s and recommendations from the staff at Tempest on the way back from the East to West Midlands. 

Imagine my surprise when my tune Sell My Soul (one of the first I ever made no less) had been picked up by both DJ Q and TRC a year later and was appearing on sets from those who made the 4x4 scene blow up.

I instantly go on Myspace and started linking with these producers and DJs and we remarked on how we'd basically come up with the same sound - mixing 2 Step with Bassline and Grime sounds - by accident and how we should trade tunes and collab.

This mix is the fallout of that aggressive tune swapping from me. 

I really loved this stuff and wanted it deeply to be the next wave of UKG as I was deep in a jaded headspace about what was being called Future Garage at the time, which I was associated with.

I hope people enjoy this. Genuinely this stuff still blows my mind in how just FUCKING SICK the production is. The drums, the insane synthesis and general alien vibez! I still speak to a lot of these folks, if I don't and you see your bits here send me a DM!

There's a couple of tunes I still look for IDs of to this day...
