Basslines in contemporary EDM, dubstep and D&B are typically filled with movement and variety. Today's SampleRadar brings you a hefty collection of such bendy basslines - ready to be dropped into your DAW for low-end liveliness.
What you need to know
The bendy bassline samples are supplied in two main folders, and then categorised by tempo within.
All the samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.
The bendy bassline samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
