UK bassline (often just called 'bassline') keeps house's straight four-on-the-floor kick but replaces the sub-focused house bass with a wobbling, grime-influenced bassline built for MCs and energetic drops. At 135-140 BPM it sits close to speed garage in tempo but leans harder into wobble and vocal-friendly arrangement space than garage's swing and chords.

Speed garage adds trance-leaning leads and rave-piano breakdowns over its 4x4 groove; 4x4 bassline stays leaner and more bass-hook-focused, built for MC energy.
Explore Speed Garage →2-step swaps the straight 4x4 kick for a shuffled broken beat; 4x4 bassline keeps the kick straight while pushing a heavier, wobbling bass hook.
Explore UK 2-Step Garage →4x4 bassline is generally written at 135-140 BPM.
Both use a 4x4 kick, but bassline focuses on a wobbling bass hook and MC-friendly space, while speed garage adds trance-style leads and rave piano breakdowns.
It is closely associated with Sheffield and the wider Yorkshire club scene in the early-to-mid 2000s — the Niche club in particular — which is why it is sometimes called 'Niche' or 'bassline house'. Organ stabs over a wobbling bass are a commonly cited trademark of that sound.
Letting the wobbling bass and the kick fight for the same low end. Keep the kick short, sidechain the bass to it, and let the wobble's movement sit mostly in the low-mids so the hook stays clear on a club system.
The genre grew out of club scenes where MC hosting was central, so arrangements are built with open vocal space over the bass hook.
