Vinyl Releases
ikeaboy is the intermittent project from damian tubbritt, who first debuted the moniker more than ten years ago. it s been a long while since any fresh material from this deep cover curio of oddball techno hit wax, but now wicked bass have done the honourable thing and gathered up this excellent trio of tracks. shape memory plies a funky line in squelchy bass and jangling delay trills, while living in the future opts for a more mysterious, pad soaked trip into spooked out electro. on the b-side dayna sports some forthright drum machine beats and epic sweeps of synths that only serve to confound any expectations you might have about the sound of ikeaboy.

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING EP (WHITE VINYL)
Coloured 12 Inch
28.03.14
we’re really excited about this unusual ep from the unusually talented photomachine, his first outing on wicked bass. ‘black motorcycle’ a dark but deep number, measuredly working its way down into to a solid groove before it lifts its eyes skyward for a breakdown made up of delicate synthwork. ‘good news…bad dope’ is a more skittish cut, with its percussive elements laying low in the mix, whilst circling synths provide a menacing mood that juxtaposes itself with a well-placed vocal sample.

st. petersburg resident kuzma palkin is a busy guy, having recorded music in the past as audiocad, cylindro, plattformer and many more. under his own name hes contributed to russia s respected gost zvuk label, and now he signs up to the excellent ukranian outpost wicked bass to drop some hypnotic and delightfully dusky club tracks to inject a little spice into a minimal scenario. the release kicks off with windy bass, which shares a little rugged spirit with stls sonic style and love of loose swing, before diving down into the misty waters of fordism 0205. exalted flow has a more detailed arrangement that pushes extra detail, sequence wobbles and fx tweaks onto the drums to make for a dynamic rhythm workout. krisis ekktro completes the set with a blown out electro throwdown that will be gold dust to any self-respecting machine funk deviant.

KINETIC DRAWING
12 Inch
01.11.16
always known as a wild maverick on the fringes of electronic music, healing force project follows up on stellar appearances for firecracker and bedouin to deliver this incisive creation to wicked bass. with drums at strange angles and a certain touch of discordant dread around the synth tones lingering in the background, one would think -kinetic drawing- is a chaotic, clamouring mess, but instead it comes on like a poised, perfect slice of transcendental mystery. for those wanting a little structure to work such a mood into the mix, who better than porn sword tobacco to shake a little salt into the track with his -yoga bbq night beach edit-?

WHERE AM I? EP (140 G VINYL)
12 Inch
26.06.15
latest wicked bass instalment comes from lost 1990s tapes of an underground estonian production group, hupnosaurus. side a opens with muru, a simple ballad with its stripped kicks and funky string bass that gradually reach a lo-fi acidic house condition with psychedelic swirls appearing every now and then. bookworms provides a remix treatment with thick, multi-layered overdriven & looped madness that strips the original to a simple bassline and occasional industrial stabs. on side b, always in n out starts out as unorthodox blend of a classic techno kick and speed garage percussion, but after a long building spacey pad breaks into a classic filtered house tune with transposed chords and cut-up vocals that runs until the end of the track. the last title track demonstrates heavy stomping kicks, swinging hats, familiar psychedelic whirls and a trippy, crushed vocal sample appearing out of nowhere questioning where am i?
ABDUCTIONS EP
12 Inch
26.05.15
played by vorres (vrrs), kixnare, natan h, lumitecc, noizar (wicked bass), cecil (artfuldivision), steve murphy
for his comeback release on ukraine s wicked bass label, the gloomy producer hiding behind the alias raw m.t. presents another set of trippy, yet noticeably simplified masterpieces of 90 s e-werk informed analog techno. falling into nowhere with its melancholic xylo drops and twin peaks infused pads takes us to a setting of descending sadness, while random peak leads and swinging hats on abductions and essense , in contrast, contribute to a much more dancefloor-friendly and optimistic picture. three fine cuts that will work both at peak and afterparty time.
GRAVURE EP (DEXTER REMIX)
12 Inch
17.12.13
here is a tip top super stomper from innershades. it is his second release for wicked bass records after the absolutely ridiculous that girl ep, and we are delighted to be working with him again. hot stuff!
RAW MUSIC THEORY (GREAG BEATO REMIX)
12 Inch
29.10.13
our new release *raw music theory ep* is an incredible debut for the young but very talented italian producer raw m.t. the opening tune, *walkman is dead* does, in fact, sound a bit like dismay over a broken piece of domestic electronics, or maybe the sound of breaking itself, with a raw torn-up bass building up and down over a melancholic snes-like synth loop and heavy 4/4 kicks. they are later accompanied by swinging metal percs that finish off the tune in this optical nerve manner. as if the original wasnt weird enough, it is backed with l.i.e.s. very own greg beatos remix that would easily make it into one of these fashionable screwed up mixes that everyone seems to enjoy so much these days.
THAT GIRL EP (VAKULA / LOCKED GROOVE RMXS)
12 Inch
22.05.13
that girl, produced by our recent discovery innershades, opens with a repeated voice sample and a nostalgic pad, just to drop one minute later into one of the rawest hard hitting house tracks you will see around in a while. hotflushs locked groove gives the original track an acidic twist halved with his signature top-class deep house production skills. as if that isnt enough, the b-side is followed by a simple-yet-effective remix from ukraines very own vakula who provides what seems a purely energetic techno cut right up to the point when the killer snare comes in.
early dj support from erol alkan, julio bashmore, ben ufo (boiler room/ louche night), nd baumecker (ostgut ton/panorama bar) and red d (fcl)
