What is the difference between Bassline, Funky and Niche?

[stanton]

Just wondering, how many people on here actually really like Bassline? 4 or 5 tunes in a set is manageable but whole sets of this stuff are fucking horrible.

Gee's Funky set at FWD the other night was good, but the club was too hot and the floor too packed for what was is essentially a set based around the same rhythmic structure. A more clubby kinda place and I'd be well into it I'm sure, as it's deffo got more of that 'house n' garage' 90's vibe.

As for all the people saying, can't we just call it garage again? That's gonna happen I reckon, or house and garage more likely. Any of you lot who tune into the stations around and about London will have heard an awful lot more OldSkool garage and new stuff in a similar vein being played. It's all coming back me thinks, at least for the summer! HOO HAA!

I wish hyperdub had caught on as the name for dubstep cos at least kode9 has a clear definition for that. I prefer fidget to bassline/niche or funky.

fidget is all switch, hijack gear though innit

I'm quite into my bassline(but keep it shhhh!).It's just fun in the dance, plenty of girls n booze, a refreshing change from crusties n students!
