Rumbling along with cavernous dub basslines, the music was accompanied by a pulsating light show and some stunning visual effects. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Just heard John Entwistle died today: his basslines were my favorite part of the Who. ❋ Badger (2002)
They present their debut album together for Nang, collecting thirteen Balkan disco grooves spiked with sparkling spacewise synths, cosmic guitar licks and dubbed basslines for the connoisseurs. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This style-skipping is reflected in The XX's music, refusing to sit still they play with dub basslines ( 'Stars') and juxtapose them with pop hooks and electric guitars all woven together by a hushed sense of tranquility. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The band experimented with dub basslines, tribal rhythms and dance music over the years.
The result is an album that follows a deliciously free-associative logic, veering wildly between bursts of perfect, fizzing pop (the chattering skip of 'Carbonated', with its talk of "basslines", is strangely reminiscent of Puretone's 'Addicted To Bass'), glowing ambience ( 'Ruby') and buzzing ❋ Unknown (2010)
Hynes picks apart his influences – the chiming guitar tones, staccato basslines and pumped-up drum patterns – and gives them room to breathe. ❋ Unknown (2011)

But having already ransacked dubstep and garage for his sensational run of 12-inches on Hessle Audio, he's now looking further back for inspiration, lashing the industrial Hoover basslines and cut-up ragga vocals of old-school jungle to a furiously swung beat. ❋ Unknown (2011)
The sound of this great awakening is a suitably starry-eyed riot of colourful synths, rubbery basslines and playground-pop vocals – opener Utopia's warp-speed punk-funk gets things off to a hurtling start; between here and the melodious toy-town piano closer Shangri-La lies plenty more ear-bashingly catchy disco-pop and a couple of moody mini-epics for good measure. ❋ Unknown (2011)
