TOP 3 PERCYS: WOBBLY 4x4 Wobbly 4x4 is a Nottingham-based music archivist and one of the UK’s OG Bassline historians Having started out by archiving Bassline tracks on Soundcloud, the Wobbly 4x4 Instagram account has now widened it’s scope to include content on both legendary artists and up and comers across a multitude of genres For his Top 3 Percys, he wanted to give an insight into the variety of his musical taste, as well as sharing the track that kickstarted it all for him: Burgaboy - I Can Love You “An absolute Burgaboy classic which holds a special place in my heart, it was one of the first bassline tunes I remember hearing after it was accidentally bluetoothed to my Sony Ericsson on the school bus.” Plasticman - Cha VIP “Probably my favourite grime instrumental of all time! Guaranteed to go off in any set, those dark punchy snares never fail to amaze.” Pariah - Orpheus “A friend introduced me to this one quite a few years back and it has been a regular to my listening ever since. The vocal sampling of Thelma Houston’s Grammy winning 70’s hit ‘Don’t leave me this way’ fusions perfectly with the mellow garage beat. Proper beautiful track.” Which of the three is your favourite?

CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER 👊 Much like Grime, the Bassline scene carved out its own “war dub” culture in the late 2000s. Beginning around 2008, these Bassline diss tracks took on a unique flavor. Producers would recreate their rivals’ signature sounds or techniques to prove they could master the style themselves, often adding a twisted version of the opponent’s producer tag, followed by an over-the-top sample that made no secret of the diss. These “battles” had attitude but were never intended as hostile confrontations. Despite the raw energy and intense competition of these tracks, the Bassline disses were all in good fun. Most of the producers involved were close friends, and these tracks, far from signaling beef, were made to hype up raves and ignite the dancefloor. A legendary example of this playful rivalry was between Mr. Virgo and TRC. Rumor has it that Mr. Virgo’s track Hypnotiq was aimed at TRC, leading TRC to release Hey That’s My Sound, with vocals by Z.O. (Zeo Zeonardo), as a bold response. Both tracks went on to secure spots in Bassline history, featured in the iconic Sound of Bassline 2 compilation, forever cementing their place in the genre’s hall of fame. TRC’s rivalry with Mr. Virgo was just one of his notable clashes. He also went toe-to-toe with Burgaboy in a series of diss tracks that pushed the genre’s boundaries. Each producer brilliantly mirrored the other’s style, creating tracks that highlighted just how closely matched they were in skill and creativity. Looking back, these 2008-2009 Bassline battles capture an era that has yet to be replicated. They showcased the fierce talent and drive of these young producers, while also embodying the mutual respect and camaraderie within the scene. It was a time when friendly competition forged new sounds, proving that rivalry among friends can fuel creativity and lead to lasting musical legacies.
