As in if I quantise my drum track to 16b in logic, then do I quantise my bass to 16b?
Also I find that if I quantise my drums to 16b and then try a quantisation of say 16c/16d for the percussion, it sound messy and stilted!
Is every thing supposed to be on the same swing or not?

yes, you can put things on ANY beat in a bar, 16th, 8th, whatever - BUt, if you had say a hat swinging at a quantise of say 16D (in Logic) and then your bassline had some notes offbeat but NOT in 16D swing, they will clash badly... you cant mix swings basicaly (or it'd be hard to make it work)

Swing came from Jazz, and Jazz is basically the foundation of most dance genres (house, d&b, breakz).

I work with "essex" so i know that's what he means. But his melodies DO swing, and the basslines often do... just not the beats, and I agree, for that brand of music.
You could have been clearer, yo! hehehe
That said, swing is integral to the groove in downtempo, house etc... stuff meant to be more soulfull... (friggin adjectives!)
