Circa 2011, like much of the bass music I have come to admire over the years, a new sound emerged from London. Pushed by labels such as Swamp 81 and Hotflush, as well as artists such as Boddika, Scuba and Loefah, this sound was a new direction on bass heavy music that combined 4/4 beat structure, breakbeats, analog sounds from sources such as the 303 and 808 drum machines, and of course deep basslines.
Most early tracks were originally set at a tempo near conventional house/techno beats at 130 BPM. Some have tried to classify this sound as bass house, tech house, techno bass or even future bass, but for me it was simply good bass music at 130 beats per minute (BPM).
Having found my passion for DJing and producing through early 80's/90's hip hop, house, techno and –more profoundly– jungle scenes, this 130 bass sound resonated familiar yet fresh, bringing me full circle. The tempo and diversity in structure allows opportunity to use numerous DJ techniques from Drum and Bass and Dubstep such as the double drop and blending of basslines, along with the mastery of long mixes associated with house and techno music.
This evolution and meshing of bass music culture breaks barriers that have resulted in fragmented dance-floors divided through multi-rooms events. Based on the theory of a 'one room-one boom' vibe, new and early electronic use of analog beats, bass and synthesizers have amplified my passion for DJing and producing dance music.
Over the past few years, I have mixed and arranged several DJ sets comprised of 130 bass music. Along the way I've had the support of fellow DJ/Producers, friends and music curators such as Big Up Magazine. Presented here is a pack of 5 mixes over 4.5 hours in length showcasing the music and my interpretation of how it should be heard.
Play, walk-away and listen to each mix with an open ear-and a bass friendly system.
My respect to each of the artists who are represented in these mixes.
If you like the tunes, buy them!
