It's big but it's not from London... "A lot of people in London" says Rekless, "are trying to make bassline. But it's not the bassline that we know, it's not... it's mad, it's not the same. They might think 'yeah' put a walking bassline there and there and there, but they don't get it." It happened with jungle, UKG, and most recently dubstep. When the duplication is poor, it lowers the overall quality levels. And people start thinking they want to make a certain genre, mistake one particular style as definitive, and come up with clones that dilute that style's original impact. "They don't understand why tunes do what they do", adds Paleface, "because they don't know what the raves are like. It's a culture."
