Hmm.. I was thinking more along the lines of some of the High Contrast stuff I've heard recently... Can't remember which tracknames I'm thinking of especially (probably the earlier stuff) . .
The basslines are pretty heavily compressed but the balance between the bass and the rest of the track leans slightly more towards the other instruments... On the other hand, Fire & Water etc... and most if not all the other Calibre stuff IS pretty bass heavy.. I think this just comes down to MY definition of 'Liquid Funk'.. I tend to think of it as just including the more musical, lighter tracks.. When in fact it blatantly includes a lot of the tracks that I think of as being 'heavy, dancefloor tracks'.. *goes back to reading 'The Big book of Drum n' Bass'* :) Nick -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

I think there's usually more bass in a good liquid funk tune than there is in the "heavier dancefloor stuff", depending on what you're talking about. b ===== Brian J.
