was passiert, wenn das tiefdruckgebiet mollono.bass auf ein atmosphärisches hoch namens ava asante trifft? es kommt zu einem gar mächtigen begeisterungssturm! zu beobachten war dieses naturspektakel im vergangenen sommer auf so mancher tanzfläche, wo es eine faszinierende wirkung auf die zuhörer zeigte… es verwandelte sie nämlich in traumtänzer! der mecklenburger vagabund mollono.bass legt ein organisch-melodiöses groove-fundament, auf dem die ghanaische schönheit ava asante mit ihrem virtuosen geigenspiel klangliche luftschlösser von unwirklicher eleganz entstehen lässt. mit begeisterten tanzschritten hüpft rene bourgeois ihre kristalltürmchen hinauf und hinab, wird dabei selbst zum traumtänzer. gorge lässt warme sommersonne auf den klangpalast scheinen: der subtile, scheinbar endlose aufbau seiner progressiv housigen interpretation eskaliert schließlich auf rollendem bassdruck und zwischen eingängigen akkorden. im stereo express bewegt sich der traumtänzer schließlich in versonnen-minimale groovegefilde, wo immer wieder mal ein erfrischender schauer blecherner hi-hats auf ihn herabregnet.

early support comes from scratcha dva (hyperdub), brackles (rinse fm), phon.o (50weapons), and bunzer0 (sub fm), and with a strictly limited run of 250 pressed, this is a 12 inch that will be in demand long after supply holds out.

it is time for midnight love club! if you like house and techno, if you like sexy basslines and raw beats, if you like oldschool and newschool, and if you like midnight and love and club, this label is for you! watch out for the likes of chicago damn, the rhythm odyssey or robotalco! mlc loves you!
starting his career on mark es merc music label, chicago damn is now one of the hottest uk producers and has been establishing himself with more tunes on labels like wolf music, quintessentials, wurst music or his own chicago damn imprint. and he will soon have triplets and is preparing his first album! sounds like a lot of midnight action!

over the past few years we have seen a surge of artists, music and labels coming out of romania and, whilst not seen as a traditional hotbed of house music, this new wave of movers and shakers are working together to create their own lasting musical legacy. the latest in the busy line of producers is 22 year old bacau born, marcman. behind the decks at 14 and studying his art from 18 the young man with a love for angry kicks and heavy baselines has already graced the likes of quanticman, plant 74 and esperanza with his music. now hes set to join the bass culture family as he presents his debut release for the label the in trecere ep. >i was actually sent some marcman tracks about a year ago by franco cinelli< says bass culture label chief djulz. i instantly loved his beats and groove and i played them immediately on the circoloco terrace. i got in touch and asked him to work on an ep for bass culture. i specifically wanted it for this summer because his beats are exactly what i love to play in ibiza. marcmans 4 track >in trecere< ep sees him sandwiching the deep dubby sounds of rutina and the percussive guitar licked dansand, with the chicagoesque numbers levier and in trecere.

gregory isaacs, reggae superstar, has left an unrivaled legacy. report, taken from our gregory isaacs remix album, is yet another testament to that. curtis lynch boosts this bassline driven track to the max, as gregory enquires of his ladys whereabouts the previous evening. marcus visionary once again takes the reigns for the dnb mix.

having wowed us with last summers argentina ep for the label, tom returns to circus with his latest work, the four track white drum ep. whilst its heavy on the bass, this new ep also demonstrates the maturing of flynns production with his impressive use of vocals and melody throughout. having now played events in both liverpool and london, tom flynn has been welcomed further into the circus fold and his white drum ep confirms him as one of the family!

with another release that is made to be a soundtrack for sunny open air scenarios, acker records keeps living up to its name and pays tribute to the current summer season. in doing so, the label from mecklenburg one more time steps out of the line, since this release again distinguishes itself by a refreshing otherness. light and easy piano plonking as well as the lascivious french voice of singer rebecca dominate the atmosphere of ici, while its minimal electronic groove discreetly remains in the background. a really tropical feeling evolves in the long version of this track when playful synthesiser chords give rise to the idea of a steel drum. in his remix, mollono.bass manages to combine the very song-orientated approach of the original with a bouncy electronic arrangement. thus he not only creates a lot of dance floor thrust, but also provides the perfect link to rather conventional productions.

dubbed a structural prodigy by mixmag, south londons joe syntax is back with >modus bass fun<, offering the very best in dancefloor d+b with buckets of bassline bounce.

rosario born argentinean franco cinelli has been firmly rooted behind the decks since the tender age of 14. drawn by the call of the drums and having researched the creation of music through computers and samplers, the mid 90s saw cinellis first productions taking shape. rapidly becoming a key player on the argentine scene, franco played throughout the country, holding a residency at the prestigious el sotano. his first forays to europe came in 2003, but it was 2005 that his own music really made an impact. having released a handful of releases and mix compilations on smaller labels, it was his picaro ep with bruno pronsato that really brought him to the attention of the music world. since then, franco has gone on to release and remix for a number of established imprints including ilian tape, produkt, claque musique, hello repeat, airdrop , international freakshow, alphahouse and the label of his great friend kasper, esperanza. in 2011 following his critically acclaimed >planet dub< debut ep on bass culture records, franco cinelli finally achieved global recognition with his massive underground remix of cassius >sound of violence< that placed strongly in many of the end-of-year top 10 best remix of 2011 lists. today franco returns to bass culture records for a new take on his trademark deep & techy house with 4 original tracks on the >take me back< ep

shit robot returns with his first new material since the release of his debut long-player, >from the cradle to the rave<. after spending much of 2010 and 2011 touring the globe with his live show – including a string of dates opening/performing with lcd soundsystem during their final shows in nyc - the rebooted robot is back with >the green machine<. the first result of his stuttgart/new york studio adventures is a double-header of dancefloor jams, >teenage bass b/w >space race<, which is released on vinyl and digital on dfa on may 21 2012. its the first in a series of releases called >the green machine<, which will culminate in an album early next year. lead cut >teenage bass< rides a rude ebm bassline and rave alert sirens, before expanding further with key changing chords and a defining arpeggiator. the hypnotic >space race< is a distant relative of 2007s chasm – a meandering, melodic, star-gazing robo-techno workout

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.

our new release has a particular importance in the history of wicked bass, being incidentally both the latest and the first to appear on vinyl. the four-track record comes from our long-time favorite kc wunderkind, huerco s., who evidently grasps his inspiration from literally everywhere, be it uk hardcore, pitched down american vibes, or even modern art. scoring no jack ep with three original tracks and a remix by the us scenes fresh discovery, braille (who is coincidentally one half behind sepalcure), as his first physical release, huerco s. embarks on a far-lying journey with even more to come.

south american label woods n bass unveils its new vinyl-only imprint, woods n bass limited, with wet feet by will azada and piltdown sound. the title track, wet feet, is a forward-looking slice of tribal minimalism that encapsulates the ethos of the label with its dubbed-out, winding hook, thoroughly drenched in dirt and brooding overtones. on the flip, piltdown sound goes solo with rbml, a detroit-esque piece that relentlessly works the floor with its twisted organ and chord stabs trading places for dominance. tying up the release, will azada amplifies the sleaze-factor with the driven bass and tweaked synths of slangin low. living up to its name, wet feet, is just the beginning for woods n bass and its new vinyl series, and promptly received enthusiastic support from influential global techno tastemakers raiz, seph, jeroen search, samuli kemppi, and detroit techno militia to name a few.
