wicked bass label is excited to announce its 10th vinyl release with a debut from wuffius, a ukrainian producer from crimea. in the pines crowns ep comes with three original tracks which unveil the inspired beauty of the peninsulas nature via his psychedelic house beats

lady blacktronika shows two totally different sides to her character with her return to bass culture via a potent ep full of deliciously dark, bass-heavy productions placed side by side with more soulful explorations of the house sound. following the �all in vain� ep, which landed earlier this year, lady blacktronika comes correct once again with a collection of four of the finest quality cuts. our introduction to the ep is a thorough dip in the deep end of tech house, with the marauding �it rains�. full of darkness, the venomous track stomps along with a powerful, darkside bassline and razor-sharp percussion. high-pitched keys add to the malevolent flavour of this raw cut. after that, we get a more measured, yet mysterious and unsettling slice of minimal funk. �no good� is a hypnotic trip inside lady blacktronika�s murky world with snarling synth lines, clever percussion, eerie fx and a naughty little b-line. on the flip we have retro-inspired �call my name�, with a very old school feel as the 808 gets a proper workout in tandem with a familiar female spoken-word vocal layered over the top. this is bound to send the dance floor into uproar with its killer vocal sample. finally �set out your luv� gives the ep a heady ending, light airy pads are placed alongside a grooving bassline, soulful vocals, diamond-cut beats and squelchy effects to create a lush, dreamy soundscape which will get those hips moving�.

a classic house track gets a re-release and an extra special edit from bass culture owner d julz. the edit of chicago groover * dont let love pass you by* from master c & j has been a staple of d julz sets for quite some time now. over time more and more people have asked about the track and he duly responded to demand by not only clearing his rework for release, but also signing up the original to be reissued via his label. so we have the original version, which oozes chi-town sleaze, remastered for 2016 together with the superb edit by the man himself, d�julz. need we say anymore?

british born and now based in berlin, dead fader aka john cohen, most known for his work on robot elephant records and the brilliant collaboration with sensational on the �work it, no� ep, now joins the touchin� bass roster with the �dosage� ep, a heavy duty, unrepentant body of work that exposes john�s diversity. easing you in gently is �booze lair�, a slow building, infernal, smacked out foray that is both biting and compelling, followed by �tired�, a fiercely adrenaline-charged, dynamic workout that moves and mutates, heavily laced with abrasive textures. the title track �dosage� is a straight up slice, filled with cranks and grinds which jars and grates, punctuated with weighty subversive beats and a low res undertone, followed by the calm after the storm, �easy sun�. an epic piece, pushing distortion to the max. no nonsense, this is one heavy slab of vinyl. solid!

uk techno stalwart ben sims adopts his ron bacardi alias for an outing on bass culture records, bringing with him three varying slices of 4x4-based music. d�julz has a deep penchant for bass and funk, and this is evident throughout the ep. we get off to a rugged start with �rock your body�, a deliciously dark slice of grumbling techno. intertwined with the morose bassline is a mysterious, tribal-esque female vocal, warped and twisted to add a primal feel to the track. on the flip, bacardi puts his a different hat on giving us �first effort� a vivacious funk-laced hybrid, which teases you spitting out intermittent trumpets and other such live instruments. finally, �the money/dub� goes straight into disco territory with that oh-so-familiar entrancing rhythm that will keep you fixed to its beat from start to finish. that filtered wah-wah guitar is impossible to resist, especially when combined with such crisp percussion. sheer quality from monsieur bacardi�

capital bass continues to gather russian names under one roof and expand stylistic variations. next big thing is a three-track ep from ponty mython (alex). this is the second ep by sir ponty mython on capital bass. it has been two years since his bulletproof jesus ep in 2013. during these two years ponty mython has been working with such iconic house imprints as arma, quintessentials, dirt crew and others. his new adverbs ep is a quite eclectic thing. side a is a filtered house banger gracefully - a result of sampling games with moscow house star lay-far (local talk, in-beat-ween). side b - afterwards tune is a real one-loop thriller, dirty and raw, with african samples and invisible sub bass line. on b side you can also find a psychedelic version of afterwards by saint petersburg techno artist nocow (roots united, fauxpas musik).

tolga fidan strikes in with two deep and dubby techno tracks for his first release on bass cadet records

bass cultures latest release comes straight from the studio of the label head, d julz. a man who draws on dub influences, groove and deep soul-enriching rhythms, d julz is a member of the paris old school fraternity and brings that classic sound right into the 21st century with his houdini ep.across three tracks we have a selection of music that epitomises what he� all about. the title track gets things rolling with a sultry groove pervading throughout, crunchy claps add depth while fizzing synth lines and throwback yelps give it plenty of character. second track * waiting 4 visa* is a classy breakbeat-led outing, delicate effects loom in the background entrancing the listener while the minimal composition keeps things simple and hypnotic. lastly * serendipity* takes us a few layers deeper, with a laid-back bounce and chirpy bleeps really bringing it to life. d julz shows us once again why he is one of the mainstays of the paris, a godfather who does everything with a touch of class.

swedish underground powerhouses mr tophat & art alfie return to bass culture with their second ep for the label after the phenomenal success of their first outing, which picked up strong support from across the scene, particularly from ricardo villalobos. this time around, they drop two hefty slabs of disco-tinged house imbued with their own distinct flavour throughout. �dub the rub� pumps along with an infectious groove, tough percussion powers along with a rolling bassline. watch out for the vocal-led breakdown midway through, killer! on the flip, �fnatt� works around a more traditional melodic house motif, tender and bright with a lush b-line and captivating vocals made to move your body and soul.

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?

mkfn return to touchin bass after last years *substrate ep* with their latest offering, *this divide ep*. through a sustained and methodical exploration of studio techniques, the trio of babar raza (us), ovais hassan (uk) and fahad ahmad (canada) continue to refine and evolve their signature sound. manipulated sounds accent the meticulous rhythms to form the foundation upon which this release is defined. over the course of these four tracks, mkfn create a sense of place inviting listeners to traverse landscapes that exist independent of any singular perception or experience.

for the first reference, sounds of the city is happy to welcome the mysterious spirit of the black 808, responsible for one of the hottest pieces of wax in 2013 for eargasmic recordings in chicago. invasion of the black bass is also following the eargasmic record in terms of style. it s warm in every way and infectious. let s get invaded with invasion of the black bass and invasion of the black house. both tracks share the same chords grid, one could be a reinterpretation of the other. both are very warm and melodic. frenzy in firenze on the other side demonstrates sb8s skills for groovy tools and more dj oriented tunes.

the ep has already been supported by dj qu, nina kraviz, ben ufo, palms trax, nick hoppner, aybee and more... bass cadet records returns with a strong ep from its founders arcarsenal.

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.

originally released in 1997, this early production from the legendary dutchman gerd has recently enjoyed a revival, the rare wax finding its way back into the sets of raresh, ryan elliott and bass culture label boss d julz, amongst a few happy others. after seeing on a number of occasions the magic effect �mass majestic� could have on the crowd, the catchy hook appealing to all ears, d�julz knew what the next release had to be. with scarce second-hand copies hotly in demand, this secret weapon is about to see a new lease of life via bass culture. reissued in a remastered and slowed down version, �mass majestic� is one of those tracks which stays on your mind long after the party is over ... the haunting keys, the intensity of the synths and the climax of clashing symbols, all driven along by the raw chugging bass-line makes this a peak-time winner. the flip side features �to reach�, another track from the original ep. a big room monster of rolling bass and syncopated keys, its old skool charm and brash energy grabs you to full-on, trippy effect. considered a prolific, timeless and highly eclectic producer, �mass majestic� ep indulges in gerd�s blatant ballsy techno side, remaining an extremely effect dj tool 17 years on.

wie staubkörner, die im goldenen licht der sonne tanzen, ergänzen sich die musikalischen talente von mollono.bass und ava asante zu einem sinnbild für sommerliche lebensfreude: la vida colorida. die treibende dynamik des titels basiert auf den prinzipien von bassdruck und percussions, aber mehr noch auf melodischer eingängigkeit. schmissige klavierakkorde setzen die gradlinige rhythmik fort, dazwischen entfaltet sich mit darufgängerischer leichtigkeit der heitere klang einer viloline, und mit dem vocal gesellt sich ein unterschwelliger hauch von sonnigem reggae dazu. la vida colorida kommt in einer kunterbunten vielfalt von version und remixen: dole & kom verwandeln den track mit unerverschämter lässigkeit in verflüssigte house music, während mollono.bass eine jazzige dekonstruktion von tiefsinniger effizienz präsentiert. für jene momente ohne worte gibt es eine instrumental version, und für jene momente der sonnendurchfluteten euphorie einen hochsommerlichen mix von ava asante.

mollono.bass tanzt in vielerlei hinsicht aus der reihe. er schielt kaum auf aktuelle trends, nutzt ungeniert alle mittel der klangerzeugung und schlägt so einen eindrucksvollen spagat zwischen tanzbarkeit und tiefgang. aber da ist noch etwas, das in seinen organischen grooves mitschwingt und ihnen leben einhaucht: freundschaft. die ist auf der ersten von insgesamt drei auskopplungen zu seinem neuen album nicht zu überhören. die freundschaft zu seth schwarz kommt in dessen virtuosem violinspiel zum ausdruck. zusammen mit den dubbigen beats und warmen klangfarben von mollono.bass entsteht hier fließende eleganz von geradezu symphonischem ausmaß. wunderbar harmonisch fügen sich auch die gitarrenakkorde von jörg schwenzer zwischen die treibenden rhythmen. schon seit vielen jahren ist der tontechniker ein guter freund � nun brechen die vielen jam- sessions, die in dieser zeit stattgefunden haben, mit jazziger vermschmitztheit zur tanzfläche durch. played by : acid pauli, luciano, the glitz, phonique, helmut dubnitzky,dole&kom,benno blome,jeff benett and many more
