I agree it resembles jump-up as well, like it does liquid. Makes sense b/c like sambass, they are lighter subgenres of dnb. This song in particular though, feels like it has Latin American elements. Sounds like the cabaca is used in parts. Possibly congas at the very beginning. The main high-frequency riff seems like it is influenced by bossa nova, possibly even played on a guitar. The sparse lyrics also sound like they could be in Spanish, although this last point is tenuous.
Read what I typed again, son. The title of the song is "Portugal" but there is no such subgenre as "Portugal and Bass." Meanwhile, there is generally accepted to be a subgenre called "Samba and Bass" or "Brazilian Drum and Bass." This has the same rhythms and flow as other songs within those subgenres.
It is semantics my friend, don't take everything so literally. Can you comprehend this? Or would you like me to elucidate further?
Mate if anything this is Neuro, listen to that bassline, just listen closely.
I know Samba & Bass exists, but there's also a great deal of Liquid Funk that sounds like it, does that make them the same thing? Two countries speak the same language, Does that make them the same?
"Mate," this is definitely not neuro. One of the hallmarks of neuro is a darker vibe. Would you call this dark? It is closer to liquid funk, but still, even liquid has certain characteristics this song does not have.
So what is your argument? This song is not sambass merely because it is called "Portugal?" The title is superficial. Does the song use Portugese instruments? Does it use Portugese vocals? A title is just a title. But the song's fits into the sambass genre.
Not all neuro is dark? Open your mind, music progresses, Neuro Funk & Techstep are defined by the bass sounds used not the "dark vibe", You may be confused with "Dark D&B" .
What I'm saying is that it isn't Samba & Bass and now you're contradicting yourself. In the previous paragraph you said it was Liquid Funk.
Do you understand what "hallmark" means? It is a defining feature. It doesn't necessarily mean all neuro is dark. The reason they have a dark vibe is because of the sounds used. Usually samples from sci-fi movies and the like, or industrial sounds.
You really need to read things closer. I did not say the song was liquid. I was agreeing with you that it had liquid elements. It is still sambass in my opinion.
You need to clear up your position. You are arguing this song is not sambass. From what I understand, your reasoning is based on the title Portugal. Is that correct? i.e. because it is titled Portugal (which is not in Brazil), it is not Sambass?
watch?v=bkwUA5jcXnM
The song is called Malta. Malta =/= Brazil. Is this song not sambass either merely because it is called Malta? In case you say yes, just an FYI, "Malta" was mixed into a compilation album called "Sambass 2."
No, I'm saying it's not Sambass, because I don't think it's Sambass.
I stand by my statement, It's clearly got the bass sounds that you hear in Neuro Funk, which is the hallmark. I think you have Neuro Funk confused with classic Jump Up tbh.

hi, i know the artist who wrote this tune - it's called portugal because it was first dropped in Oporto by DJ Futurebound and everyone liked it there, so they decided to name it Portugal. sorry to those offended. we'll call our next latino tune Spain or something ;)
I'm assuming the artist himself knew the mix was in Spanish, but named the song Portugal thinking that both countries have the same language barrier. Just my thought.
I apologize if the title offends you in any way. Send Entity hate mail if it'll make you feel better.
@x3medic You don't need to apologize for anything mate, you're doing people a favour by uploading the music for us to hear. If they don't like it then fuck em , only narrow minded people post stupid comments. Thanks for upload. Banging tune.
