BASSLINE CRIT

In the crit i pitched my ideas to everyone and i described baseline to them including its history and how it exists now. i also showed them the people who listen to baseline. 

Baseline originated in Sheffield in the late 90's to early 2000's  it had a bad name with violence so the club niche where bassline had a home got shut down. This has then left the genre without a platform until the rise of social media and music streaming sites. The music is dirty beats the the listeners describe as 'wobbly' often with pop music or grime vocals over the top. There is a big association with drug taking and rave culture. 

My current ideas are to show the digital home of baseline through an object. this could maybe be: 
-stickers that could be stuck on your laptop of phone
-phone case
-computer mouse
-memory stick
-laptop shell
-badge
-clothing
-hats


Another idea i had was to focus on the merchandise people use to create the music as there is a big emphasis on bedroom DJ's and DJ software and decks being easily available so anyone can give it a go. 
-vinyl covers
-vinyl mats
-flag

The night out element could help me solve a real problem when people go out
-water bottles to keep them hydrated
-baggies for drugs
-bum bags
-dummies
