Review: Next up from the Doro Sounds camp, we find ourselves diving into a very enjoyable three track display from J.A.B, exploiting the more experimental side of underground bass music. We begin with 'Self Esteem', an extremely unique interpretation of the classic bass house sound, focussing on crunchy bass sounds and gnarly textures, coupled with a very groovy set of drums. Next, Trickshaw joins the party for another fuzzy roller, using uniquely simple melodic twists with a very cool bass lead to inspire more late night dancing. Finally 'Ladder' gives us a more tech-influenced approach, unleashing some bubbling synth work into the mix for a wavy final slice.
Kanji Kinetic & Thorpey - "Tek No Shit" - (4:26) 140 BPM
Kanji Kinetic - "Rebirth VIP" - (4:58) 140 BPM
Kanji Kinetic - "Rebirth" (Thorpey remix) - (4:12) 140 BPM
Review: With a firmly established pedigree for uncompromising bass blends on the likes of Trouble & Bass, Bass=Win, In The Face and Electrostimulation, Kanji Kinetic link up with Bristol affiliates UTS for a quad of crucial floor attacks that melt down genre definitions with lava-like heat. The two originals come in the form of post-dubstep electro mayhem ("Rebirth") and hard-as-nails loopy techno naughtiness ("Tek No Shit"). Remix-wise "Rebirth" receives a pummelling, beat-heavy VIP and a hype-riddled drum-stuttered revision from cohort Thorpey. This is as heavy as it is essential.
Review: What with its vintage-looking artwork and retro sounds, you could be forgiven for thinking this EP was a re-issue from back in the day. Club 303 however, is actually a contemporary clubnight in Mexico run by producer/DJs Andre VII and Julian Discoruido. This two-track single is their homage to the joys of old skool dance music. The title track is a beefed-up slice of 21st century acid house complete with rolling bassline and big splashy snares that build into a hysterical climax. "In & Out" is an explosive exploration of classic Chicago house featuring contributions from local producer Rubinskee.
