Review: As a genre and as a movement, footwork is looking incredibly healthy in 2020, with single releases such as this one from Footclan continuing to push the sound forward. Taking the title 'Fuck Yall', we witness Footclan smash together incredibly potent sub-lines with skippy drum designs and rhyhtmic textures beneath an unpredictable vocal patterns to give us a really moody party starter. The release is taken to a whole nother level by its remixes however as Space Pimp firstly reworks the original into bubbling, spacey creation, alongside Gunark's junglist revamp. Amazing work!
Review: We love us some super clean bass music here at JunoDownload, and that is exactly what we have stumbled upon here as SBSTRD lands on Meanbucket for a twelve track rinseout, exploring multiple different exciting areas of bass as a whole. From the incredible soundscaping of 'Anhedonia' and high energy juke rolls of 'In Love', to the shuffling break drums of 'Coolie Dip' and experimental 140BPM flavours of 'Stop', this one really does take us on one hell of a journey. For us the real stand out single from the whole project had to be the super grimey flips and unpredictable drum arrangements of 'Maxwell Trak', which features Maxwell and promises to give you some serious on-set energy.
Review: Prague-based bass label Meanbucket scored a bit of a hit last year with Roby Howler's "Naney Club". The digital flipside of that single was "Village Killah", a wobble-heavy percussive workout. Here they revisit this overlooked gem with a selection of new mixes. First up, Lazy Flow delivers a hyper house workout that skips into Juke territory towards the end. Elsewhere SBSTRD delivers a heavy bass stepper full of menacing breakbeats and finally there's an instrumental version of Lazy Flow's mix, where the lack of vocals highlights the song's serious potential.
Review: For beats that sound like they've been thrown into a blender then used as fuel in a engine that won't start, take a listen to DJ Edgar's remix of "Machete Bass". Other remixes of the track include a woofing Fuuku Sartoria mix and Nobel Normcore's gutter raving rework. Both The Clerk and Smoothies take on "Dojoji" with the former offsetting chipmunk vocals with deep bass, while the latter is provides an alarm ringing meltdown that's as loaded as a Major Lazer production.
Review: Dryman returns to the inimitable Meanbucket label with a rip-roaring remix EP. "Human Distribution" and "So Much Love" receive a proper treatment from a diverse bunch of producers, most notably by Bad Mojo with his techy, filthy house stomper on the former, and by DJ Tuco's neo-jungle movements on the latter. It's something which everyone can dig their fangs into and get seriously twisted over on the dancefloor. Dryman's on a cool run as of late, don't miss it!
Review: Prague's Meanbucket have snapped up some raw new talent in the shape of Dutch producer 618. This here is his debut release and with one listen it makes it clear why he's created a buzz for himself. "What You Do" is a brutal booty bass assault with serious juke overtones, while "Amsterdammed" applies heavy bass to the kind of techno heard in Berlin in the good old days. Remix wise, the title track become minimal hip-house by Boeboe, thumping house by Embryo Planet, freq bending electro by Seymour Bits and incredible dark electro-house by Veit B.
Review: Make way for Lithuanian Ophex who, after a respectable stretch of remixes, has finally delivered his virgin debut single. Naturally it's been worth the wait; "Appetite Appeal" sits comfortably across a range of styles thanks to its hip-swinging Afrobeat, old school house references, infectious groove and substantial bottom end. The remixes have been very wisely selected too - each one highlighting an aspect of the original and twisting the elements to create an entire unique reversion. Boogaloo's version pitches down the original, adds more Reese flavoured basses and comes out sounding very similar to a DirtyBird joint. DJ Kiff's "Jersey Club" mix rides roughshod with just a smidgeon of Baltimore badness while Lucid finishes the set with the most oddball of interpretations that includes all manner of found sounds and wild twists and turns.
Review: From the off, "Raindance" comes on like "Township Funk" given the UK Funky treatment - all Mujava synth stabs, electro-marimba melodies, snappy beats and bassbin-abusing bottom end bounce. While it lacks the instantly addictive feel of DJ Mujava's now-standard tune, it offers a deeper alternative for those bored of its ubiquitous vibes. The unlikely-named Ckrono Moonbahton provides the first of the obligatory remixes, slowing the pace successfully to give the darting melodies a chance to breathe. Trusty takes the opposite approach, inserting a nuclear warhead up the track's rear end. The result is a thunderstorm of old skool rave pianos, hectic beats and rush-inducing riffery.
Review: NYC-born but now based in Berlin, Naifian steps up to helm this fourth release from Czech label Meanbucket. With tropical UKF and garage very much an influence, the title tune wields a deft and slinky clap-led rhythm and some anthemic organ chords. Former Bmore party rocker DJ Donna Summer works out a powerful 4/4 mix that's loaded with abrasive, feedback-like sounds while DJ Tuco rearranges the distinctive organ riff into a ghetto house weapon.
