Overview
A staple of UK and NY Drill, this involves using portamento (glide) to slide the pitch of a long 808 sample. It turns a static bassline into a melodic lead, often jumping an octave or more to "hit" the listener between kick drums.
Smooth pitch transitions between sub-bass notes to create movement and tension.
