Dub Riddims 2: Bass to the Future
Back again to nice up the BassVibes in the sunset room, a Saturday
April 11th Easter weekend bass special. This time around we supply
another diverse selection of thundering bass and grimey drum beats.
Starting up the night with the rocksteady dancehall beats, cruising into
the St Charles Shuffle, winding into a Grinding Dubstep Flavour; keeping
the energy moving forward we then have a dancehall/drum and bass
rinse, culminating in a grand finale of breaks, dubstep, and basshouse!
Bass up!
