DJ Q @djqmusic Jan 25
Wait.. Is bassline cool again now?

T2 ‏@t2bassline Jan 25
hahaha yeah it is i dont wanna hear no more garage or "bass" talkin anymore everyone has come home lol

Nicholas @nxsounds Jan 3
@t2bassline look what bassline has become now... just soulless bass heavy shite

T2 ‏@t2bassline Jan 3
lool hopefully i can help fix that pal

ahhhh haha i KNEW he was going to do something with the *boing* on re-rewind at 8mins on that boiler room

so good!

ty 4 posting, i lost track after the kiss show dwindled to repeats

yeah anyone know what happened with this?

there's also this one from the 02:31 rinse takeover:

https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/djq210117

and there's a tqd album coming:

http://tqdukg.com/album/ukg

maybe just overcompensating for warring ilm neeks too much recently but i've flipped several tables during this br set

HNNGHH that passage at 24mins w/ 'carpainter', mj cole mix of 'rise and fall' (havent heard this in TIME) and 'got myself together'

BLAZING SQUAD V ELEPHANT MAN YESSSS (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

ahem anyway i would imagine it's p impossible to maintain 2hrs of interpretative solo inspiration every week in the current ukg climate (never mind what the listenership for the shows is, does anyone even notice they're repeats?)

esp as a working club dj whose freshness in the role doesnt particularly necessitate showcasing new shit

used to be you'd get an obvious re-up every six...? weeks or so on the kiss sets but not for a while now

(nb i say "current ukg climate" there like i really know the coo but it's more that i drifted elsewhere and trust the instinct)

I assume it's because he gets booked for club sets and can't be arsed with the radio show. But keeping up that level of density week-in-week out for more than a year is virtually impossible.

echo in here

yeah this rinse set is much more switched-on than the kiss shows have been... dbs what is "you make me blush" at 23mins svp? (guessing trc or such)

haven't found out yet but the vocal is sampled from this bassboy tune:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAoo-hZ2PYo

in that boiler room set does anyone know the tune around 30m which is a dmx rework/homage?

is it...? which dmx! 30m is the aforementioned https://youtu.be/Pax5RFDjz-8

well i thought it was a speeded upone more road to cross but maybe that's a stretch?

thx for the track ID tho!! :)

by jove ur right. awesome!

dbs that new bassboy tune can be found at 45m on this recent rinse set of his, which more importantly happens to be 100% A+++ MAXIMUM ABSURD FUN the lil fucking genius

https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/bassboy280117

22-24m that sugar rainbow singalong that filthy mosh drop can't possibly be one tune... can it...!? j'adore

28m "feelin like a boy racer" irl lolling it's so outrageously good, like dee-lite and dj pantha did tropical 3??

suppose i might as well listen to these t2, trc, nastee boi, pantha, and notion sets too

next time someone gives me lip around here i'm just gonna post marcusnastygoodafternoon!.mp3 btw

'boy racer' is a new trc x screama that can be found on the following delightful ep https://open.spotify.com/album/0VasHSQdULaERrnA206slJ

idk if bassline rly is on the comeback trail but god did i miss all these ridiculously talented creative guys with their excellent sensibilities. only shift k3y can be said to be similar

hadnt even seen that burga boy went and did stuff like this for a bit https://youtu.be/JB3ZDuOLQ4o

on my 2nd time thru' this rinse takeover mix :) 25-27min is amazing, i swear "jamie redknapp" is mentioned somewhere and it still doesn't ruin it!

oh and harry kane???

yup https://youtu.be/QiFHmhXqlUw

LOL i hadnt heard these seven extra new verses of this toweringly silly song, i'm crying

ledley king and matt jackson got stiffed obv

OMG!!!!!! hahahahaha should really be 'andrew cole' not 'andy' tho. this fucking thing will be stuck in my head for days now..but ..WHAT KIND OF DAYS?? HAPPY DAYS!! SCHOOL DAYS!! etc

ah i thought it could one of his but it didn't match with anything recent on his soundcloud

i listened to most of those sets over a day so it all just melted into a puddle of bass, have to get back on that bassboy one

there's this tune on the trc one that i've only ever heard him play, it seems like it's katy b prod or remixed by burgaboy but can't find evidence of such thing existing, at 14m:

https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/trc280117

any idea?

haha no i was gonna ask you the same! the only reason i came to mention burga earlier was cos i was looking for it :)

not entirely certain it is katy b (despite indeed sounding just alike) but i cant be bovd to refresh my memory of the finer nuances between teresa and zoe and all the other b-line cherubs of yore

this one's also sticking out from the rinse sets https://soundcloud.com/formularecordsuk/jg-cave-explorer

bassboy's is still the best but trc's is also quality and nastee boi's is chock full of loopy pop n rnb refixes (pantha's is all old dubs but it's always worth a reminder just how schizo his deep tech persona is). not bothering with the nu skool screwface merchants

if anyone fancies a change of pace .... er well kinda... pvc is returning with incredible scenes

the only problem he has, as proven by this mindcrumpling kiss fresh mix late last year, is that he has become a cyborg van helden 5.0 genre unto himself and the best of the rest just sounds like piss next to it

The project I am working on gives me an entire building to myself. I am streaming DJ Q, etc. as loudly as I want. (Not actually that mega-loud because I do need to be able to work.)

TDQ takeover all month on Sian Anderson's show:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04w8235

UKG is out...

IT'S SO GOOD

ohhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiitt

that bassboy tune is called 'blush' and also appears on this mix for complex:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04x93hp

TQD mix for mistajam ^

btw what is that latin joint that is in so many of these mixes?

the dj q remix of swindle's 'connecta'?

yup that's it, thanks :)

this tdq album is amazing but of course it is. i'll think of something more interesting to say hopefully. once the sub-bass on "only one" lets me back up off the floor.

'ghosts' = speed garage w p money = best thing ever?

"touch" puts me in mind of 2000-ish mj cole. that massive 2-step beat, the edge of menace. the unexpected major key bassline! the precision of the thing, every element precisely picked out in the mix, nothing stepping on each other's toes. the LUSHNESS. wayyy too short tho :(

http://www.newstatemusic.com/purebassline/buystream.html

yup

q himself has a new single. which is pretty good but way too short??

20 Burgaboy ft. Miss Kai Ryder - What's It Gonna Be

^^this one's settled too

Q's Pure Bassline mix is awesome, no major surprises in there and he doesn't do the really rapid fire switches between records but good to have at least one version of his recent sets out there on streaming services/in shops.

listening to UKG at lunchtime and Hannah started singing "Baked Beans" along to the vocal sample in said track, even tho she'd never heard it before

:D <3

tqd album is amazing

Totally missed this. Some pretty great moments so far:

Says it's been up for seven months, but I could swear it wasn't there seven months ago.
