Review: When it launched back in 2011, Tuff Wax's Aberdeen Truth Series of 7" singles was an attempt to put the Granite City's blossoming bass scene on the map. Three years on, that aim has been accomplished, with the ultra-limited singles becoming collector's items. This digital compilation tells the story so far, collecting together tracks from the first four EPs. Musically, there's plenty of variety amongst the big basslines, fuzzy synths and quirky rhythms, from the lo-fi hip-hop oddness of Lookah's "Tonkl Fongrs" and post-dubstep atmospherics of Grobbie's "Grounded", to the aquatic footwork heaviness of Bones & Money's "Black Diamond" and crystalline "Footage 4 Days". Bass-heavy, eccentric and imaginative, the Aberdeen Truth Series is a fitting tribute to an often-overlooked micro-scene.
