Soul Motive proudly present...Julio Bashmore
Side A – Batak Groove

Side AA – Around
Soundcloud
House is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence right about now and after the initial, exciting, explosion of the UK Funky scene we are now left with swathes of mediocre rebore beats, seemingly endlessly flooding the market, making it increasingly difficult to find good house music. Finding genuine, groove driven House, harking back to the classic US sound, is next to impossible and when you do its like a swig of icy cold Cider on a blisteringly hot day.
For us at Soul Motive only one name stands out as seemingly being able to constantly deliver that freshness every time. A name supported by Claude von Stroke, Mary Anne Hobbs, Untold, Ramadanman, Martyn and Jesse Rhodes to name a few.
That name is Julio Bashmore.
Julio Bashmore – Batak Groove
Effortlessly bridging the gaps between House, UK Funky and Tribal, Batak Groove has all the elements of a dancefloor classic.
Stripped back rhythms, a hypnotic Indonesian percussive loop and pounding 808 sub kicks combine to deliver a highly addictive rhythm workout that has already recived strong support from both the House and Dubstep scenes including regular inclusion in recent sets by Untold and Claude Von Stroke.
You’ll still be humming the drums next week.
Julio Bashmore – Around
Switching styles “Around” is a shining example of Julio’s unique ability to create effervescent, upbeat, quality beats that encapsulate pure sunshine.
With low end to put a lot of modern Dubstep producers to shame and a rhythm that’ll wind every girl’s waist within earshot, “Around” proves that effortless South American finesse and vibrancy is alive and well in UK music (if not our football).
Release Date: August 2010

Posted a thread about this in the house forum last month. Been looking forward to this for tiiiiime.
He gave away the 320 of Around last year some time, and Footsteppin' too.
Man's a don.
Also, for anyone who owns Soul Motive vinyl, read the copyright notice on the back of the sleeve at the bottom, each one makes me

Yeah the fully mastered version of Around has ALOT more punch to it though, especially on vinyl

and glad someone notices the copyright notice

Finally got this on wax.
Batak Groove has to be the bassiest house tune I've ever heard. Can't believe how nice these tunes sound after mastering.
