Review: The team over at YosH have done a fantastic job over the years in pushing out some of the most innovative and unique bass and garage combinations that we have seen across the UK, with this latest remix drop from dubbleT, OHKAY & Jamie Hai being a great example of that. We in fact open up with the remix, which sees a selection of sand-shifting sub sweeps and warm vocal displays fromdubbleT &OHKAY reworked into a party-ready roller by Jamie Hai, taking elements of both UKG and bass in its creation. For contrast, the original recording also sits on the EP, providing not only a great A/B flip, but also a great example of how much difference a good remix can make.
FooR/Bassboy - "Right Through You" (Burt Cope remix) - (4:24) 135 BPM
Review: As a label, YosH has quite the reputation for delivering a stacked line up, and that couldn't be truer of this brand new remix compilation from label founders: FooR. They have assembled an incredible roster of remixers, including real heavyweights such as Notion, Original Sin and Jay Faded. The whole is an undeniable success, with Barely Royal's well thought out, bassy re-think of 'Fired Up' from FooR & MOAD being an initial stand out. Other major highlights include Soulecta's colourful UKG flip of 'Shine' and the wibbly wonders of Burt Cope's 'Right Through You' overhaul. Tasty stuff!
Review: What a year it has been for FooR, who are set to blow the world of British bass music into the stratosphere here as they unveil their monumental 'FooR Years' project, jam packed with goodies from start to finish. We kick off this one with the euphoric piano melodies and and violent bass throws of 'Take It Higher', before wading into the dark, mystic basslines and nostalgic vocal layers of 'In My Soul'. Next, we explore 'Over & Over', an incredibly vibey roller alongside Gid Sedgwick, before rounding up with the electroshocker synth leads and drum punch combos of 'I Will Wait'. There really appears to be no slowing the FooR rampage any time soon.
Review: As a label, Yosh has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, bringing together some of the bass scenes most exciting artists on both compilations and single releases. Here they team up with the wise owls of Tengu to put together a powerhouse tracklisting, bringing in a host of new faces such as KXVU, Movement, Pavv, J69 and. R3DX, as well as bringing back some of their favourite regulars. For us the stand outs have to include Kyle Riot's emotive bass belter in 'Through My Eyes' which combines electronically processed vocal stabs with shimmering bass textures. Another highlight would have to be Mofaux's 'Soldier' composition, which combines skippy drum rhythms with a grinding LFO and more catchy vocal stabs. Excellent stuff.
Review: If FooR were to put together a studio album, where else could it be other than their legendary home imprint of YosH. As an album 'Friends Of FooR' is a collection of high profile collaborations from the bass house giants, including both production features and high energy vocal additions. Our favourites include the swordplay duo with Endor, the skippy house textures of 'Bad Man' alongside Jay Robinson and Dekar artist' and of course the triple threat rinse out of 'Black Bandana' which features Killa P, Irah and Long Range.
Review: Bass seems to be in Tyrone's blood, with his elder brother 'Dennis G' featuring on the Wide Boys garage classic 'Sambuca'. Southampton imprint YosH picked up Tyrone while he was touring clubs with the original of 'Ravin' Face' down South and they clearly like it because we've ended up with an EP with six remixes of it! Moving through the motions of UKG and bassline with a bouncy happy edit from Shapes into a darker realm from Tengu. Mofaux comes with a steppy house version, but one thing they all have in common is they all, rather repetitively, ask us to show them our Ravin Face.
Review: Paul Woolford's second album under the Special Request alias is a very different beast to its predecessor, 2013's Soul Music. While that was little less than a strobe-fired romp through Woolford's early, rave-era influences, Belief System is an altogether more complex and considered affair. With 23 tracks, the album took three years to produce, contains a number of modular hardware explorations, and features elements of tracks recorded by Woolford as far back as 1993. The sheer breadth and depth of the material is, at times, staggering, as the veteran Leeds producer giddily mixes and matches elements of electro, techno, cinematic soundtracks, hardcore, acid, jungle and experimental electronica. In a word: stunning.
Review: Foor are sick. There's three words. Foor know soul. There's another three words. In fact there are so many possible three word combinations you could create about Foor that scientists reckon you would be here until 2039 if you wrote them. We haven't got that type of time though so we'll just say these three words: this record bangs. The original is a sweet and sassy UKG flavour while the remixes cover all bass bases from alien bass technoid 4/4 shizzle (Endor), skipped space two-step magic (Mind Of A Dragon) and skin-melting breakbeats ("Shapes")
Review: YosH founders Foor are back on their own imprint with a one-track bombshell that's come through just in time for the final part of the festival season, and believe us when we say that this little banger is the finest solution for providing you with some proper vintage club vibes! "3 Words" is led by Effie's seductive vocal charm, which is surely the perfect way to direct what is one of the most addictive garage grooves that you'll hear all summer. Remember that period between 1998 and 2001? This is it, right here...
Review: The YosH imprint clearly likes to partake in a bit of UK bass experimentation, and its selection of artists have all been handpicked for their ability to slot into the label's catalogue with utter ease. This is Tyrone, a multi-talented electronic producer who is as good at making garage as he is disco or techno, and "Ravin Face" is direct evidence of an artist who understands UK bass music through and through; there is everything from dubstep to house in its groove, and the tune's inimitable vocal hook will have you humming in no time. "Reload", on the other hand, is more of a classic garage lick except for its deadly succession of bass knives circling the groove with a touch of evil will. This is some straight-up nasty material. Bang.
