Forecast / Bassism

Pressed on 180 gram vinyl, contained in a shrinkwrapped full colour gatefold sleeve. Digital Mystikz' Coki 's Urban Ethics, triple pack is a natural sequel to the recent Mala-produced triple-pack Return II Space.

With an increasing fanbase and tracks released on Argon, Dub Police and Roska Kicks & Snares accompanied with resident plays at London's prestigious 'Fabric' nightclub heat is steadily rising around the Kent-based selector.

The phrase 'tropical' is currently getting used to describe a lot of different music; some good, some bad, some ugly. To save on confusion Senseless went out and travelled the world to find some music from the actual tropics, Venezuela to be precise. Somewhere buried deep in the mysterious rainforest, or possibly just in a studio in Caracas, they found Pocz and Pacheko. It's so near the equator maybe we can ditch the 'tropical bass' tag and go for something new, 'equatorial bass' perhaps~ Maybe not. Pacheko, Francisco Mejia, will be familiar to some for his solo releases on Lo Dubs, Murder Channel, Seclusiasis and for his work with legendary Venezualan expat Cardopusher. His partner in bass Pocz (Carlos Majoral) is a classically trained musician and production engineer. Along with a select few others they run Abstractor, a collective of producers, artists and designers, who promote parties, run a blog and do a fine job of representing bass music in Venezuela pretty much solo. The collective includes graphic artist Design or Die who is responsible for the incredible artwork and pretty special video for 'Zarbak'. Together by day Pocz and Pacheko run a sound design studio in the rum fuelled pressure cooker of political and social unrest that is Caracas. Their training in high-end audio engineering is evident in the quality and weight of the production. Nights are spent in the tropical heat cooking up beats. Over the years an audio diet that includes salsa, merengue, reggaeton and other local music mixed with old jungle tapes, Rinse FM sets and lots of dub has helped them to build a unique and captivating sound that combines all those things.
The spirit of hardcore, jungle and garage from the UK are all evident from the UK Funky rhythms and rumbling sub bass in 'Zarbak' to the melancholy melodic refrains of 'Dorado' but there's something else there too. There's something tribal in the drums that taps into a deep history of Latin American percussive rhythms and adds a dimension that is clearly their own. If UK bass is about the energy and pressure of the city at night then Caracas bass about the point where the intensity of the city meets the wide open space of the jungle, the beach and the mountains under a carpet of stars. Put the needle on the record, close your eyes and imagine it. Also, there's remixes from Brackles (Blunted Robots/Planet Mu) and Mr Gasparov (Soul Jazz).

Shortstuff dribbled this EP out of his arse. It took him 12 months - he worried about everything, accomplished nothing, and then called it something stupid. By the end of the process, everybody at RAMP wanted to die. The end result is a 6 track EP, released on 3 separate 10' throughout August, with the whole EP coming out digitally on the 30th with bonus digital only track 'Naughty Step'. DJ support from Scuba, Roska, Loefah, Jackmaster, Ben UFO, Ramadanman, Pangea, Scratcha, Lvis 1990, Brackles, Toddla T.

Introducing the official debut single from Jam City.
Following on from his smash hit vinyl-only Refixes EP, released on Night Slugs in the summer, which sold out almost as soon as it was released, "Magic Drops" gives a glimpse of what's to come from the young South London producer.

Barry Isaacs is a singer whose voice sometimes sounds like a cross between Barry Brown and the early Gregory Isaacs. He's an excellent songwriter with a progressive sound who belongs to a new generation of roots oriented U.K. singers. His humble delivery calls to mind the inspired work of the also U.K. based singer Vivian Jones.

Hotflush Recordings proudly present the debut release from new London-based producer George FitzGerald. Part of the Man Make Music collective, George FitzGerald comes as the latest addition to the Hotflush Two roster. A perfect illustration of contemporary electronic production in a post-Hyph Mngo era, Fitzgerald continues the Hot Flush Two archetypal strand of dubstepnot- dubstep, referencing elements of Basic Channel-esque dub and ambience embedded into the jagged groove of modern UK garage. DJ support so far comes from Scuba, Joy Orbison and Appleblim.

One-sided 10~. A beautiful remix of a classic tune that I'm sure everyone one here knows and loves. George Fitzgerald takes Amel Larrieux's unforgettable vocal and re-energizes the tune with his signature groove and bassline.

Having kicked off the label with music from big hitters including The Freestylers, Foreign Beggars, Moving Fusion and Reso, Never Say Die bring you their fourth release, this time from newcomer Mindflow. This is a release of epic proportions and the first BIG tune of the English summer.
