Review: We were very excited to see TAIM make his return to the rampaging Saucy imprint alongside the mesmerising vocal presence of LO for 'Signs'. We most certainly have a banger on our hands as TAIM lays down and emotive soundscape, providing the perfect platform for LO to let her vocal tones run wild, before descending into a grizzly breakdown. On remix duty we are treated to an array of top draw names, including Khesis who strips the track back into a more subtle breakbeat arrangement. Next up, Tengu arrives on the scene with a big room heater, lead by grizzly lead synths and crunchy drums. Finally, Axel Boy gets choppy with his rework, focussing on gliding bass tones and hopping rhythms.
Review: So far in 2018, Affiliate seem to be having a standout year with an incredible collection of releases already on the table. For this new belter entitled 'Night Shift' they return to the Saucy imprint, who have also made a cracking start to the year. This one is perfect for the festival season as stunning layers of reesey goodness bounce off sharp drums and TZ's beautiful vocal layers for a real party starter. For us this is a track we can see being spun from house parties to the main stages.
Review: For this one, the electric imprint that is Saucy Records team up with Echo Knight for a high pressure breakbeat spectacular which goes by the name of 'Jawz'. If you like gritty dance music, look no further than this, as collosull layers of widened reese bass weave their way around the mix amidst funky drum arrangements, dark vocal sampling and a dashing of cowbell for good measure. Great stuff yet again from the Saucy imprint!
Review: It seems that Barely Royal and Saucy have cooked us up a masterful collaborative cocktail on this brand new six tracker. Made up entirely of high profile pairings, "The Alliance" sees Barely Royal team up with Bushbaby, PVC, Pelikann, Distro, Negativ and Taim with each track being a standalone monster. Our favourites would have to be the lethal combination with PVC entitled "So In Love" which features additional vocals from Abi F Jones, along with Distro's appearance on "Gun Up". It would be a crime to not also big up the three way collaboration with Bushbaby, Dread and Grove named "Light It".
Review: Within the UK's bass music circle Barely Royal, Negativ and Bunnie have all been making serious waves, cementing themselves as some of the scene's most exciting names. They combine on this powerhouse track named "Eclipse" to great effect. There is a underlying neuro theme as reesey synths slither away around super crispy drum selection and intense 4x4 rhythms. This one is a real pleasure to hear featured on a set list. Great stuff!
Review: The infamous Saucy Records serve up another sumptuous slice of bass brilliance with this one as regulars Barely Royal team up with man of the minute Bushbaby on ?Light It?. Both production outfits bring their own selection of spices to the table, fusing lethal bass sounds and reeses with sharp drum patterns perfectly alongside sprinklings of vocal finesse from Dread and Grove. Fantastic stuff!
Review: Let's be honest, there aren't many projects ticking as many boxes within the bass music community as Saucy Records at the moment. They make their return alongside UK bass producer: Arka for an absolute piledriver of a riddim. Going by the name of "System" this one works a selection of breaksy drum patterns, expertly crafted bass synths and sparsely sprinkled reeses into a magnificent cocktail. This is definitely one for the bass heads to get their hands on ASAP.
Review: Long-standing bass fusioneers Negativ return to Saucy with a deep, dark, driving Tigerlight collaboration that hits hard on a Nero level. Atmospheric and arresting, it's tailored for the big rooms Negativ are destined for. If you're after more of a dank, cavernous prang stepper vibe then jump straight on the dancehall-damaging "Vantage" and watch out for the rasping, alien bass textures on the drop. Positively banging,
Review: We're willing to beat that Khesis's DJ sets are energy-packed spectacles that appeal to those who like their dance music choppy, thrusting and bass-heavy. That's certainly what the young Hungarian producer delivers on this all-action EP for Saucy. Opener "Shards" sees him add woozy stabs and fuzzy background samples to a metallic, UK-funky influenced rhythm track, while "Slingshot" is a post-dubstep roller full of intergalactic electronics and alien motifs. Two-step UK garage beats provide the foundation for bass-heavy shuffler "Real Strong", before saucer-eyed vocal samples and dreamy chords come to the fore on the thrillingly low-slung "Nothing Lost".
Review: Underground Traffic is back and serves up a fab new EP entitled 'Neil Didn't Help'. The title track kicks the EP off with attitude and some serious wonk slicing through a solid, UK bassline inspired beat. Next up 'Rival' is a serious bumper that gets that Will Clarke style bassy electro vibe happneing but on steroids. Finally 'Dangerous' lives up to its name as the label themselves best desribe "when this is dropped in the rave feet will be stomping, too much of this will definitely be dangerous for the ceiling below if played on the top floor!" They don't know why Neil didn't help.... Oh well... no-one likes Neil anyway.
Review: Fresh from a little gully foolery on Stanton Warriors' Punks, Midnight Phulin steps over to Saucy with another out-and-out club thumper. Chunky kicks and bellowing bass complete with mic damage from Tyler Clacey, there's a real grimy momentum throughout. Remix-wise Barely Royal & Bunnie flip the switch as they ride from soothing wavey intro to a gritty two-step and back again, Revaux provides the essential 170 switch up while Tall Order supersize the chunk with a real cheek-slapping house twist. One killer original, three ace diversions - Saucy continue to smash it.
Review: The Saucy imprint is on its way to establishing itself as a new source of quality, reliable bass music for the corner dwellers aka dubstep aficionados aka bassboys. Hot Goods debuts on the label with a bunch of direct, straight-up bruisers made for the dancefloor, and "1944" acts like the first missile shot in what quickly transforms into a rather menacing dance EP; WATSN's remix of the tune bridges the gap between techno, dubstep and electro house in a rather excellent manner. "Shogun" adds a little garage flavor to the producer's clearly audible grime fascination, whereas "Ghoul" heads straight for the tech-house formula with its steely percussion roll, and highly stripped back bass bumps.
Review: Lighters up! Barely Royal returns to Saucy with the truly epic "Fire In The Dark" as LO surges with arresting vocals and layers of dreamy orchestration and cinematic euphoria. The original rolls very much like an old Hybrid cut while the VIP uses the same vibrant intro before plunging us into a lake of gully. Remix highlights include Taim's happy-slapping bass house jacker and Pola & Bryson's liquid gem. Fiery.
Review: Its madness at Saucy HQ right now (so business as usual then!) with this strong new EP from relative newbie, Tru Fonix. The original "LO" is a perky, rolling garage jam with moody tropical undertones, whilst Chee's remix sounds like the tune being slowly fed through a rusty mangle. "Permutation" brings true fire though with its forward thrinking synthy stabs and four to the floor beats - a real sizzler. Culprit then joins TF for the deep and fizzy tech-house joint "Solarized" before Klax unleashes some heavy dubstep-flecked wrath on his version. Fierce sounds.
Review: Pelikann (aka Jack MackMersh) is a West Midlands producer who is currently taking the UK's bass scene on an epic journey via his fearless genre-hopping approach. This, his latest release on Saucy, boasts three originals and some remixes too. The title track is mega hyped ghetto breaks with super melodic synthy fizz, "Badboy Sound" is all about the relentless subby fuzz-stabs (given a demented percussive makeover by Affiliate) and "Calm It" incorporates a nasty bass hum into a breaky bounce-a-thon. Rho reworks the latter into a super-fast DnB jam whilst "Spectre" becomes a jungle snarler thanks to Data 3.
Review: Formerly known as Magistrate, this artist has now adopted the Talkre moniker to promote an altogether darker proposition. The Conflicts EP boast three choice cuts, each with their own angles on bass: the title track is laced in gothic synths, doom vocals and morbid DnB influenced drum patterns. Elsewhere "Afraid" explores nasty, techno infused breaks and "New Order" wraps things up nicely with its bouncy blend of big beat and garage beats.
Review: Before delivering the promised 'arsenal of dutty new tunes for all you functioning bass addicts' next year, fledging bass label Saucy round up this one with a selection of all their best stuff from their sophomore year. There are a whopping 24 tracks to get your teeth into, highlights of which include the insanely catchy moody pop of opener "Summer Rain" by Inkline, the slamming garage/house of "Don't Stop (Jack Swaffer remix)" by Mike Jones and the eccentric beats and creeped out sounds of the "House Of Haunted Horrors" by Spooky and Spekktrum. What a label, what a year!
Review: For all those of you out there who had lost faith in ever hearing another instalment in the Saucy Selections series...rejoice! The wait is over. It's over a year since Vol 2, but the Saucy crew are back bringing serious fiyah over 22 fresh new jams. As usual, the quality is never compromised, particularly on such standouts as the mercilessly pounding, RnB sampling "You Better Know" by Libra, the futuristic 2-step synth stabs of "Eyes On You" by Jello and the dry warehouse beats and buzzy bass bounce of "People Dem Dance" by Lucent & Karl Vincent.
Review: West Midlands' finest, Pelikann is back with his third release for Saucy, a self-proclaimed 'face melter of an EP' called Jupiter. It features three new original tracks and extra mixes. Things begin with the remarkable a sinister title track - a twisted fanfare featuring a nervous gasping recurring sound. Elsewhere we get slinky bass and punky beats on Tri3e and Underground Traffic's mixes. The monstrous "Godzilla" is followed by the viscous "Tight" and "R.P.A.F.A." which brings unexpectedly precise grime vibe to the EP. Further shout outs go to Pelikann's own VIP mixing skills and the jagged bass of WATSN's version.
Review: Liverpudlian bass demon, Lucent, is a regular on myriad dance music compilations. In other words his sounds reverberate around the globe. Here he conjures up a demonically warped breaks anthem with soulful diva vocals and a seriously mangled bassline. There's also a selection of remixes by some key names of the scene: Jaqou George rocks up with some laser shoot-out percussion and nasty stabbing bass, Pelikann adds a certain dreaminess to the 4/4 madness, the legendary Rico Tubbs brings his trademark energy-wobble to the party and Selekta wraps things up with some deep killer UKF.
Review: Occupational therapy: Birmingham badman developMENT delivers two gully strutters for the bass house cognoscenti. "My Occupation" ignites with a dizzying blend of musical references before leaning back on classic garage keys and eventually leaping forward with his trademark sludgy low end riffage. "Dem Boy Sound" eschews the silky keys for a much darker romp that's dented with MC samples. Heavyweight.
Review: London duo Karl Vincent & Tee have a reputation for slaying parties with some serious bass productions. It seems word has reached Saucy Records as they have snapped them up for this new EP featuring three original tracks, a collaboration and a remix. The title track features some pretty hard mechanical tribal action whilst the ominous "Warning" features lots of sinister effects and lasers. "Party Over" marries 2-step beats with some mean wobble vibes and "Dimitri" goes down a slightly lighter garage route. WATSN also appears to add some hyperactive synths and short-of breath rhythms for his remarkable remix.
