and so we drive down rain-slicked analogue motorways head first into our second ep series release following an ivvvo dispatch in september 2013. this time out ralph cumbers aka some truths aka bass clef is behind the wheels. this is techno how it was dreamed in belleville, re-imagined by a genius with a synth or three. in clef we trust, for all our magic and dreams.

tapping into the strong current of quality electronic music coming out of sweden, the latest bass culture shines a light on two talents working out of the stockholm underground who have created their own imprint on the european house and techno scene. the pajala sunrise e.p marks the first release that mr tophat and art alfie have issued away from their shared base camps of junk yard connections and karlovak, two labels that showcase the pair’s commitment to pushing 4/4 dance music forwards wherever they can. energy lies at the heart of the sound that oscar and rudolf (to give them their real names) conjure up, both in the urgent pulse of their full-bodied drum arrangements and the spiritual lilt of their melodic content.

untitled opens up, building behind a gently reverberated 4/4 kick and interchanging hat sequences. hypnotic, off-kilter samples and subtle flecks of acid generate a brooding and purposeful tone as a sense pressure builds throughout.

geschmeidig faedelt madmotormiquel seine audiospuren durch genres und stilistische andeutungen. dabei gelingt es ihm, das scheinbar gegensaetzliche zu harmonischer stimmigkeit zu vertwisten. etwa hip hop und gradlinige tanzmusik. für den titel daddy are you proud verteilt der berliner produzent jazzige piano-samples und poetischen rap zwischen wummerndem bass und treibenden hi hats. mollono.bass setzt die stimme des originals nur sparsam ein, angelt sich für seinen remix die hintergruendigen synthesizer-akkorde und lotet ihre melodioese tiefe aus.. sie erweist sich als verdammt groß. im zwielicht hypnotischer flaechengebilde zeichnet sich mit minimaler und doch extrem schwungvoller rhythmik ein klangbild namens recall ab, und im spiel zwischen trippigem beat-gefrickel und verträumtem klavier-geklimper entsteht die dynamische ironie von too much money not enough style. eingaengige grooves aus faszinierenden zwischenwelten!

ol aka oleg buyanov is well known in his native russia already. he has a background extending from releases on faces records and scuzzy lo-fi hip hop beats on labels like error broadcast, idle and fine grains dating back to 2007. more recently though he has been increasingly turned on by dance floor focussed sounds and as such, here come two missives on russias capital bass (which also hosts a popular bass and garage night in moscow and has done since 2006).

capital bass records continues to explore new sonic territories with its second release by spb based analogue-head ponty mython.
the main theme called jesus makes you stomp your feet to its funky beat and phat acid bassline that mutates during the track keeping things deep without getting too religious. futureboogie man christophe does some good work on the remix adding some extra syrup: even more bass plus preachers speech in the middle of the track.
the b-side goes even deeper with blackstreet sampling number u ve got your pr0blems. starting off with the smooth disco beat, little guitar and that catchy male vocal the track changes halfway with addition of funky acid squelches and 4x4 house beat that makes you realize you really, really want to stay at the dancefloor.

four new tracks by och on bass culture.

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.

disko404 is a long-established promotions crew based in graz, austria, whose renowned monthly events are all about celebrating the bass in dubstep, funky, house, juke, grime, hip hop, electro, and experimental sounds. earlier this year they branched out as a record label, launching with a well-received split ep from sun people & franjazzco. their second release features two new tunes by sun peoples simon/off as well as a splendid remix by bass clef.

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.

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.
