Review: The MPH wave is well and truly underway as he makes his return to the incredibly impressive Night Bass imprint for a full length LP adventure. Having already released numerous heaters on the LA-based label, it's very exciting to see everything arranged in one single place. Opening up the project we firstly explore '-Sunset-', a gorgeous retro soundscape focussed on fluttering synthetic crunches, which leads us into nostalgic vocal doubles and sweeping reeses of 'Doubt' as the project really kicks off. Next, 'Ghost' lets fly a ferocious display of powerful drum processing and warbling bass tones, with the gnarly reese drives of 'Rush' alongside Cecilia then giving us a serious rave stomper. We then get soulful twist up as the fabulous vocal overlays and purple synthetic backdrops of '-Sunrise-' are unleashed, with the fluttering chord progressions and shuffling shakers of 'California' arriving with just as much vim. Finally, 'R&R' sees Hamdi arrive for a typically classy collaborative effort, seeing the LP out with beautiful harmonic grooves and a bassline like no other!
Review: It has been one hell of a year for Hans Glader, the LA-based garage wizard whose sound continues to conquer global stages. He returns here to the legendary Night Bass imprint for a full four track display of his unique approach to 2-steppy flavours, kicking off with the luscious pad textures and distant saxophone lines of 'Culture'. From here the sumptuous vibes continue as the incredible soundscaping and general harmonic structures of 'Lumen' deliver a truly beautiful setting, followed by the more sub-heavy dips and weaves of 'Dimelo' alongside Night Bass founder: AC Slater. For us, this was already Hans Glader's strongest outing to date, but that's before 'Set You Free' elevates the whole project to an entirely new plateau with its sweeping string-like leads and groovy drum switches. Incredible work!
Review: Despite the varying states of difficulty the world seems to find itself in, the growth of bass music across the globe doesn't seem to have slowed down in any way, with Night Bass remaining one of the most talked about imprints in the game. This latest helping from Kendoll is a perfect example of how to stay ahead of the curve, kicking off with 'Fall Back' alongside the legendary AC Slater and rapidly rising Sophiegrophy. This one sets the tone perfectly with it's kuduro-sounding percussive syncopations and catchy vocal inputs, before the unpredictable soundscapes and quirky melodic influxes of 'Wasted Again' takes the EP somewhere completely different. Finally, the ever-ready Dread MC joins the party for some rave-ready vocal additions on the big room stomper named 'Never Sleep', which comes to us dripping in acidic expression and original texture.
Review: Releasing music from the likes of Sinden, AC Slater, Jack Beats and Herve over the years, the Night Bass label out of the UK have worked with a who's-who of club music specialists. Both Blossom and Shdws have delivered on their own individual releases for Night Bass in the past with the label choosing a three-track collaborative split release as their return. Shdws' solo effort sees darker tones of 80s synthwave and vocals meet with warbling metallic bass lines, tech house drums and skipping rhythms. Teamed up with Blossom, the pair trip through a circus of synths, trippy vocals and out of shape rave to straight up dub and two step. Mind Games gonna make you trip.
Review: As one of the leading forces in worldwide bass music, AC Slater returns to his home imprint of Night Bass to unveil a fabulous selection of remixes, working directly off his critically acclaimed 'Hi8' album project. The line up is spicy to say the least, with the likes of Flava D, Sammy Virji, DALCO, NuKid, CID and more all getting involved for one the biggest remix projects bass music has ever seen. The two real standouts for us come from two brits however, as Bushbaby's colourful relick of 'Attitude' from AC & Taiki Nulight immediately catches our ears, alongside Drinks On Me's smooth and well thought out overhaul of 'Every Pigeon Is a Dove', featuring the wonderful vocal layers of Murkage Dave.
Review: So at this point it's difficult to find the words to describe Night Bass, who have pushed out one of the most relentless release schedules we have ever witnessed here at JunoDownload over the last 12 months. The 4x4 giants have here assembled what they believe to be their best releases of 2019 into one handy selection, featuring absolute stormers from the likes of legendary faces such as Taiki Nulight, Shift K3y, Bushbaby, Notion, Corrupt, Phlegmatic Dogs and more, including a feature from label founder and worldwide dance music legend: AC Slater. What a year it has been for Night Bass, and we can't see them slowing down.
Review: There really is no stopping the Night Bass rampage this year as they land yet another top quality four track selection here, this time inviting the sounds of Proxy to the forefront with a number of potent collaborations, kicking off with the breaks infused brilliance of 'Have Some Fun' alongside the legendary AC Slater. Next, we take a more contemporary bass route as 'No More' arrives with help from Armodine, followed by the more robotic bleeps and shuffling rhythmic patterns of 'Fitness' alongside The Paxmen. Finally, the scorching sounds of DZA join the party as the pair collaborate on the lethal 'Poltora' to call an end to proceedings in style.
Review: Nu Bass be all back up in the club with "Rave Dragon", an obscene monster that dates back to the days of fidget house and colder urban sounds being in the rave arena. Hats are snapping horns blaring phat. With Dread MC, "Bankroll" sets it up with a heavyweight dollar-dollar bill of hand-throwing synths and face tweaking rhythms. Full of snares rolls and sub-heavy drops of atomic weight, it sets a gauntlett for a deep trip through low end frequencies and ghoulish atmospheres.
Review: Wow, what a run it has been for the Night Bass team who hear touch down with their one hundredth official release, celebrating one of the most exceptional catalogues within the entire bass music spectrum. They have pulled together an exquisite line up for this one, featuring a tonne of high end names, including founder AC Slater alongside Chris Lorenzo, Flava D, Shift K3y, Jack Beats and more. For us there are a couple of clear stand outs on this one, the first of which has to be the long awaited release of Taiki Nulight and Dread Mc's bassy roller: 'Kush'. We also love the smooth subby bops of Sinden's 'Work That', along with the incredibly unique drum work of 'Ugly' from Petey Clicks.
Review: The run that the legendary Night Bass imprint has been on over the past 18 months is slightly frightening, with a relentlessness to deliver incredible bass music every single time. This latest project sees them bring in the hard hitting 4x4 structures of Nostalgix, a producer whose sound is instantly recognizable, due to her super sharp drum work. We hear this from the jump as the rolling kick thumps and bubbling sub pressures of 'Heist' kick us off, followed by the weird, warping synthesizer patterns and hypnotic sub drones of 'Bad For Me' arrive on the scene. We round up in style, as the super creative, alarm-like synth leads of the title track 'OG Sins' smashes this one over the line!
Review: It's been a long time coming, but after a long run of exciting single drop, Night Bass founder and all around dance music legend: AC Slater lands on his home imprint for a brand new album project. The project features the previously released single 'Final Fantasy' but as a club mix alongside a bag of incredible collaborative additions, including Dread MC, Jay Robinson, Chris Lorenzo, Murkage Dave, Taiki Nulight and more. With twelve tracks of the highest quality, AC has really set the bar super high, with particular highlights including the high energy collaboration with Jack Beats, Sinden and Flowdan entitled 'Boss Like That', along with the tasty house tones of 'Feeling Awake'.
Review: It's quite difficult in today's bass scene to see Bassboy's name and not get excited, whether it be for one of his super entertaining Instagram track builds or a new EP such as this. He teams up with the legendary Night Bass imprint for a sizzling four track selection, kicking off with the gritty LFO rolls of the title track 'Hollywood', which is chased up the super colourful UKG struts of 'So Good'. Following this, 'Sweet 'n' Sour' switches the EP back onto a more gritty pass with his hardened bass synths running riot, before the moogy plucks of 'Vibesy' finish everything up with a serious dash of spice.
Review: What a journey the last year has been for Bushbaby, whilst undergoing a serious evolution in his sound, he has landed some of the biggest releases in UK dance music this year. He now touches down on the almighty Night Bass for his latest conquest, that being his extremely tech heavy 'Naughty Pleasure' EP. The title track itself is a super smooth 4x4 roller, driven by tight electronic bass tones and minimalist drum grooves, followed by a crunchy, metallic collaboration with the ever ready Inkline entitled 'Walk Away'. Finally, we finish up with our favourite of the bunch in 'Secret', a nostalgic twist up, livened up by its use of classic organ chords and a smooth final touch.
Review: Night Bass are wasting absolutely no time this year, as they here bring forward the second edition of their 'Night Bass Freshmen' series, showcasing the new, up and coming artists that are going to be working with the Night Bass imprint in the future. We see six originals make the tracklisting for this one, with artists such as SQWAD, Qlank, SODF and Double Agent all providing us with absolute heaters. For us however, the clear highlights for this project have to include the tech infused brilliance of 'Bad Blood' from Hot Goods, and of course Sammy Legs' super bouncy roller in 'Hi-Def'.
Review: Following on from a wicked feature on the last Night Bass four track compilation, we here see the full return of Corrupt, who joins the team with three very vibrant originals. We kick off with the smooth, piercing sub maneuvers and sharp drum designs of the title track 'Real Mob' before 'They Can't Do It' hurtles into view, featuring some wicked additional work from 'Natz'. Finally, we take a peek at the VIP mix of 'Shook', a track which is packed with some seriously electrifying energy, driven by its lethal synthesizer runs and punchy drum production. The Night Bass rampage continues!
Review: Next up, the Night Bass reign continues to pour, dispersing wavy music left right and centre as the founder himself returns home for a fantastic new garage single by the name of 'Final Fantasy'. This one is an instant hit, as Kaleena Zanders gets busy with some incredibly catchy vocal lines over some smooth, silky 4x4 flavours from AC Slater, making for the perfect combo. This single also comes complete with a bag of fantastic remixes, with Jay Robinson turning the original into a bouncy party piece, Steady Rock providing some nostalgic house flavours and Turno bringing forward a wicked drums interpretation, packed with catchy synth leads and lively rhythms!
