Bass,140 & DnB Round Up 28.04.2014

We’ve got a pretty epic Monday round up of tunes for you, starting with a selection of tunes, EPs and LPs out in the download stores (or available for pre order). First up, the man who has a style of his own, much loved Jungle legend Bay B Kane releases the 4th in his series of ‘Future Destination’ EPs on Boomsha Recordings, BBK always manages to bring something fresh to the Jungle sound, examples of this here include ‘No Solar’ with its atmospheric Sax lead intro and a beautifully re sung female vocal of Bill Wither’s ‘Aint No Sunshine’, if BBK’s ‘Everybodys Gotta Learn’ was the future jungle anthem of 2012 (and it was indeed) then ‘No Solar’ is the anthem of 2014, ‘Roads Untraveled’ is wonderfully deep too while on the flipside, we get some raucous sounds in the shape of ‘Ring The Alarm’, ‘Soul Cry’ & this writer’s favourite ‘Running’, Boomsha continue with a winning formula and there is plenty more to come from this amazing label..

Staying on the deeper side of things, the incredibly talented production duo, Subessence released a whole LP on Kut Off Records today ‘Journey Through Vibrations’, truly a journey it is too, an extremely pleasurable one, a journey of blissed out, dubbed out sounds utilising all kinds of live instruments and taking things back to a similar ethos of mid 90′s DnB where a warmer, more harmonic sound was given preference over the traditional electronic beats. From abstract jazz to ethnic sounds, all bases are covered in this too good to be missed up on LP

Out today on Ekstra Recordings, the ‘Extra Sensory Perception EP’ features 5 tracks of classy DnB from Otter, nKey, Hastings & The Peacemaker, joining the dots between old skool jungle/DnB, Trap/Bass music & Tribal beats, the producers shine on here taking us through the deep and the melodic sounds through to more uptempo beats with spotless production

Out on iTunes and al good download stores

You must check out DJ Hybrid’s new 2 tracker on Audio Addict Records, ‘Set The Base’ is a lesson on how DnB should be done, a hefty dose of Hip Hop attitude gets bolted on to super tight beats and some seriously sharp bass, ‘Toxic Jungle’ takes it back opening with a great sample before unleashing some rinsing amens and heavy weight bass!!!!

Due out on the 19th May 2014, the first full LP of colabs from MC Fat’s MC Fats Collective series, following on from 2 EPs that really set the standard with incredible remixes and more outstanding remix work is on display here for this LP that needs to be in every DnB fans collection, highlights include Will Miles colab ‘The Last Breath’, ‘Soulseeker’ with Alix Perez, ‘Dirty 78′ with Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris, Czekki’s remix of ‘Crazy’ with A Sides, as with previous releases, we get a non DnB track, the excellent dub excursion ‘Foundation Dub’ with Die & Fats, overall an essential album, kudos to the remixers here who have once again done an exceptional job

pre order from iTunes
