Review: It's refreshing to see Disco Cakes add a little something different into the mix of their mash-ups: bass! So in a bold fusion of old and new we get the likes of Deekline & Hotline Zero's "Pump Up The Volume" which takes M/A/R/R/S' 80s hit and marries it to a fizzy Drop It Like It's Hot hip-hop jam. Slynk also has a stab at "Top Rankin" which takes Althea & Donna's perennial 70s party anthem and successfully welds it to some steely big beat sounds and finally Hotline Zero's remix of "All Gravy" gets all tropical bass on our case.
Review: Originally released on Ed Solo and Deekline's Jungle Cakes booty-brand, both Inner Circle's "Bad Boys" Dawn Penn's "No No No" were previously super-charged and sprinkled with D&B powder to great effect. Now massaged down to a much more stately nu-funk tempo, both cuts still smash it. Ed and Stickybuds' rub of "Bad Boys" struts and swaggers over the top of a well-rounded hollow-tone bass note. "No No No", meanwhile, gets a much more robust bass treatment with a hip-punishing live drum swing. Essential.
