Review: Dutty Bass Audio are unique in that they're based over in Canada and whilst you certainly don't hear about many D&B labels from the Great White North, the quality of this little imprint would suggest that we should. JCB is the latest artist to grace their release page and his Easy Jet EP is straight up wicked, spanning a cross-section of beat patterns, nestling comfortably into the dark end of the spectrum but having an element of the lighter side as well. This lighter side is apparent in the synths on the title track, and it also has a superb percussive feel to it that's punctuated by swollen bass pulses and guided by a genuine sense of purpose. It totally sets the tone for the rest of the release - check it out.
Review: Dutty business: Toronto's DBA crew lay down their second supersized V/A LP of the year and it's an absolute gully jamboree. Ranging from the wobbled-out slaps of Euphonique's "Sound Dead" to twisted drones of Tryptamine's "Gang" via the wily 96 skanks and bubblesome bass of ScattyOne's "Wicked Babylon", Tomoyoshi's funk flipping triplets on "Time & Space" and the awesome halftime sludge of DJ Hybrid's clever Drop Out remix of "Raised In The Jungle" there's genuinely not one even slightly under par track here. Dutty Bass Audio are absolutely smashing the game right here.
