Good Times (feat Souls Liberation & Simm - dub) - (4:50) 123 BPM
Review: We are always excited to hear of high profile collaboration EP's, and this new duo project from Love Is A Bassline and Souls Liberation is an absolute scorcher. We kick off with rolling reeses and scattered percussion of the title track 'Phones Down', before moving into the emotive chord progressions and syncopated rhythms 'Good Times' featuring Simm. This EP also comes with extended dub mixes of both tracks, bringing the instrumental flavour to the spotlight and highlighting the production prowess of everyone involved!
Review: A self-confessed 'bass music reprobate', Jason Laidback has certainly paid his dues, being one half of Slyde (Finger Lickin') and a veteran of the Bolshi label too. Here he delivers a new solo bomb, "Namechecka!" and it's clear that his ferocity hasn't diminished over the years. The UK mix of the tune combines a big thumping shuffle and seductive female vocals with almost Plastic Dreams-esque 90s house goodness. His esteemed pal Leeroy 'The Prodigy' Thornhill also appears with a mix that is unsurprisingly a tough big beat assault with plenty of cacophonous 303 mayhem! Another day, another destroyed dancefloor!
Review: Veteran night prowler Jason Laidback re-amasses the whistle crew with this sterling rave homage. With sonic references to Jaydee's "Plastic Dreams", A Guy Called Gerald's "Voodoo Ray" and Orbital's "Chime" and hundreds more seminal anthems referenced lyrically, it serves as a history lesson/nostalgia trip (depending which side of the 90s you were born) Each mix is subtly different with Astoria focusing on the ravey signatures, Bagleys emphasising the jacking 4/4 and Skin Up injecting the breakbeats. Each version as good as the last, this is a dedicate for everyone who certifiably knows the score.
