Review: Beijing beatsmith Guzz comes correct with his debut long-one. If you've been following his antics on Soundcloud you'll already have an idea of what's in store - polyrhythmic ponderations, off-kilter conjurations and deep bass murmurations all brought together with traditional instrumentation. From the insistent almost techno-like conga and light synths on "Duet" to the dense overlays of steel chimes on "An Elephant In The Jungle" by way of the tripped out horn spells of "Fengxia", Guzz paints in big broad strokes that require time to take in. Guzzle up the full picture.
Review: So you think you're up on all things bass, eh? Don't worry, if you've yet to discover the wonders of 'Beijing bass' though, because the Do Hits label are here to educate and inform. Do Hits Vol 4 collects 13 truly unique jams that seductively blend the old and new - traditional Chinese instrumentation and ultra-modern hip-hop influenced beats. Highlights include Jason Hou and inner Mongolian multi-instrumentalist Yider's distorted digital electronica "Data Forest", Jyun Jyun's panpipe electro pop workout "Fire Monkey" and the futuristic neon strip club grooves of "Yin Kou Chi Nyu" by Duanger. Welcome to the future.
