Competition winner of the ‘Crookers – Able To Miximize’ splice competition, Nina Wilde  blends all the elements of the original into this smashing remix guaranteed to turn any dancefloor on it’s head. Nina is a bass music producer hailing from the midlands. Putting her own unique twist on the track to make it stand out from the crowd, she has used used Logic 9, Serum and Massive to do the damage!

55Traxx, is a Brazilian based label that’s very much in it’s infancy, but has already released a string of highly impressive Tech House tracks from the top talent of those shores. Running the label are, Gioc, Marcelo Khapz and Luigi Vanucci who are no strangers to the Brazilian House scene. They’re out on a mission to track down the sunniest sounding Tech House and send it our way, just like this free EP from them by, Dash Vinci. Two tracks filled with the deepest of grooves that simply remind you that summer is just around the corner and the open air parties lie in wait. Stunning stuff!

As this is written, it’s now one year and one day since the birth of, Anthemic Records. This label immerses itself in a broad spectrum of underground Bass Music which is finely represented in this free 11 track album ‘One Year Of Anthemic’, a present to the fans of the label for their continued support. With such a high quality of music already been released on the imprint, they’ll be plenty more fans joining the ranks.

The album contains a fair amount of filth, which is never a bad thing in our book. You’ll find intensely deep and dark music that’s the kind to leave you in a dirty, sweaty, broken mess on the dance floor and on the flipside, higher paced monsters which you can only fend off the filth by battling against it with your best shapes. Best be buckling down those bad boy speakers when tuning into this, because they’ll soon go on a wander with the vibrations being created by this amount of bass!

Double good news on the way because not only does the American producer, D1rty Kickz have a new album coming out mid-spring called ‘Monster’, but he’s also giving away this track ‘Midnight Enigma’ away for free. The track features on the incoming album and is an infectious dose of cosmic Tech House with a Twisted Disco edge. Super solid and super groovy! If the rest of the album sounds as good as this, we can’t wait to get stuck into it!

Hypho- Soundboy EP [HotCakes Bass]

My Selecta has his first release out on Sub Nation today, you can stream it here, buy it here and check it this interview with the man below, gwaaannnnn!!!

How did you get involved in Sub Nation for this new release?

I got involved with Sub Nation through Jay Cunningham who runs the label, I Initially met Jay through using On The Rise Music which he co runs with Terry and after using On The Rise for a few releases on my own label Drum Wrks Jay asked me to do a couple of tracks for his label which became this release.

How did you get into music production? What were the initial steps?

Well I got into Music Production through DJing, I had been DJing for a while and the obvious thing to do next was to start making my own tracks. A few friends were in a band and they had decided to go to an evening course to learn Cubase at a local college so me and my friend Alex (DJ Hybrid) went along with them, after finishing the course I found out the college ran a HND in Music Production so I applied for that and I got accepted.

How would you describe your production style?

I’d say the style of my tracks are quite Dark and moody and usually focus more of the percussive side of things. I’ve always had a very eclectic music taste, which I think comes across in my tracks, there’s a little bit of a lot of styles that make up my sound.

What’s your first experience of Bass music and how did you get into the sound?

I think Outlook festival in 2010 was the starting point of me getting into that style of dance music it was the first time I had been to Outlook and it had such a great vibe about it, after coming back from the festival I started to listen to a lot of deeper, darker dance music and gradually the tracks I was producing became influenced by that sound.

Tell us about any other music related stuff you’re involved in

I run a label called Drum Wrks which I started in 2015 mainly as an out let for my own music, but I recently signed a couple of tracks from a producer from Belgium called Cabasa which will be Wrks 005 which is out on the 28th February. The label has a great response from people and I’ve had some really great support from some big names with plays on the BBC and on Rinse FM, so yeah really happy with how things are going.

Tell us a few of your all time and current fave producers?

This is a really hard one, I’m not going to list them all because we would be here for days but some of my favourite producers are Mala, Pearson Sound, DJ Shadow, Dilinja, Boddika and Aphex Twin, all these producers have had a really big influence on me and the kind of palette of sounds I use in my own music.

Tell us a few of your favourite tunes

Anti war dub by Digtial Mystikz has got be up there as one of my favourite tracks, I was pretty late on this tune but since hearing it for the first time its become one of my all time favourite’s. More of a recent tune which I love is Gosh by Jamie XX, I cant get enough of that tune at the moment every element of that track is just brilliant.

And if you could remix any tune of your choice, what would it be?

I can’t really decided on one tune but I would love to remix something by Mala, everything he makes is just brilliant and the chance of remixing his work would be amazing but I cant see it happening hahaha.

So before we hit play on this new release of yours on Sub Nation, can you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind it?

Yeah sure, both tracks are definitely a look to the past but with a more updated feel to them, both inspired by old school Jungle/ Drum and Bass but at around the 130bpm mark. 31 was inspired by late 90s dark Jungley Drum and Bass tracks were Field music is more of a ravey piano track, hands in the air business.
Any final words and shout outs?

Just like to say thanks for all the support from all the people who are feeling my music. Shout out to DJ Monki, Marcus Nasty, DJ Craze, Toronto Is Broken and all the other DJ’s supporting my releases. Finally massive thanks to Jay Cunningham and the On The Rise Music team and Luke Fletcher at Cygnus Mastering and all the Cygnus team.
