A new venue was opened on 28 January 2017, but closed within a year following further stabbings at the club. As of 25 October 2010, the club had again been closed down permanently. It was briefly closed after another stabbing in 2010 but allowed to reopen as a members-only venue. In 2009, Baxendale opened another venue in Sheffield called Niche nightclub on Charter Square located at different premises from the original Sidney Street building. Steve Baxendale, the former owner of Niche Nightclub, has also expressed that the closure of the club that brought bassline into the spotlight has helped to increase the genre's popularity, but also that organizing bassline nights has become significantly harder, as club owners are put off by its early history. Sheffield's police force have stated 'the only gun crime related to nightlife in Sheffield has been with bassline', and that many shootings, stabbings and drive-bys have occurred in and around bassline nightclubs including Niche. It became common for people to MC over bassline. However, a more aggressive style of bassline also caught on, which was absent of pitched up female vocals and melodic leads, and was more reminiscent of grime. However, 4x4 Bassline gained popularity on the pop charts and allegedly one reason for this is it appeals to both genders, while grime and dubstep at the time gathered a predominantly male following. In general, bassline as a whole remained fairly underground and was mostly only popular in the North and Midlands, and releases often never went beyond a 12' vinyl EP, or featuring on obscure CD mixes or compilations. This style started to be called '4x4', moving further away from the original speed garage sound, but still retaining the core elements such as the warping basslines and female vocals. Towards the end of the 2000s, a new wave of younger producers such as TS7, coupled with the rise of Digital audio workstations, which reduced the use of drum machine samples and old sampled basslines, took bassline to a different path.
