Last year, Jamz Supernova launched a brand new club series via her label, Future Bounce, turning to dancefloor sounds. Kicking off volume 2 of the series is The Busy Twist who first approached the label as part of their competition late 2020 and opened the dialogue to sign him for the next round of releases. Speaking of the collaboration, Jamz says, “we couldn't be happier to kick off vol 2 of the Club series with an esteemed producer such as The Busy Twist! These tracks embody everything we love, perfect for the club but inspired by the African Diaspora, showcasing The Busy Twist at his best!” 

Formerly a duo until 2015, The Busy Twist is headed by DJ and producer Oliver Williams, riding solo. Remaining rather elusive until now, he is ready to make his mark as the mastermind behind the vibrant music offerings they have become so known for. Always looking to join the dots between Afro, Latin and UK Bass, this new EP continues in that vein with an added splash of heads-down rave energy. Oliver aka The Busy Twist says of the records “ I wanted to create something that brings the listener back to the centre of a gig at prime time and recreate that nostalgic feeling of my early releases. I decided to go back to Ghana which was an integral part of the early Busy Twist sound. A visit to the Labadi Warriors and a jam session ended up being the components for “World Of The Spirits.” Already road tested in Jamz’ BBC Radio 1 ‘Essential Mix’, these tracks are primed and ready to be unleashed to the world.

Over the last six years, Bell Curve and Anna Morgan’s Worst Behavior Recs label has been championing the most exciting producers coming out of the bass underground around the world. Worst Behavior, Vol. 4 is the last installment of their Worst Behavior compilation series and it’s truly a global affair, uniting producers from Amman, Moscow, Bristol, NYC, Los Angeles, Austin, and beyond over 16 tracks that show the excitement and kinetic energy of soundsystem music and culture.  

Since the dawn of Worst Behavior in fall 2017, the label has championed 160bpm heaters and you’ll find those represented prominently on this collection, with producers turning in tracks purpose-built for the label. West Country legend Addison Groove presents a hard jackin’ juke/jungle workout that mixes classic electro grooves with loopy acid squelches, while Moscow Legend flips the stuttered vocals and demanding bass stabs of his 2020 underground anthem “Tek Dis!” for a faster tempo.   Going in a dreamier direction, FreshtillDef brings the Texas heat on the totally addictive track “AIWIY,” with its melancholy vocal chops, syrup-soaked bass synths, and footwork-ready percs. Fellow Texan Sharawi teams up with Arizona-based NIKES for a loopy spiral of jungle breaks with spooky Metalheadz sounds and a dark baile energy on “Diggity,” while L.A.’s Yunna, who just released her debut EP Rinne on the label, returns with the lush ambient jungle banger “She’s Gone Low.” The bi-coastal linkup of Doctor Jeep and Farsight produces a deep drummy workout of sonar sounds, crisp breaks, and booty-rattling sub bass.   As always on the Worst Behavior compilations, dope percussion is a major focus. Hypnotic Middle Eastern percussion riffs punctuate “Gasab Sokkar,” a snaking techstep drum ‘n’ bass-inspired roller from Jordanian producer Toumba. Prolific UK superstar Samurai Breaks explores the fusion of baile funk rhythms with wobbly dubstep bass on “Oshee,” while L.A. heads KOROStyle and Justin Jay find out what happens when UK garage’s skippy drum patterns meet punishing square-wave grime bass. 

 Worst Behavior Vol. 4 rounds off with a whole heap of breakbeats at different moods and tempos, just as Anna Morgan and Bell Curve like it. Oakland favorite bastiengoat goes for an R&B-meets-rave anthem, Whys delivers punishing amen jungle pressure on “Threat Kick” and A-0 pursues the smoked-out rollers route on “Iced Out.” Slowing down the tempo, dubstep/grime heads Amadeo and Hypho get locked into tough electro rhythms on “Jefferson Park” while Czechoslovakian producer fodie j. Invests in eclectic drum machine funk on “Le Track.”   Rounding things pff, label co-founder Anna Morgan teams up with Kool Karlo for “Pop That,” a modern Baltimore club and ghettotech-inspired beat guaranteed to detonate your dancefloor, and rising Leeds star TROPHY pops in with a Bandcamp exclusive “Hush Your Mouth,” an addictive juke/jungle workout that you definitely don’t want to miss. 

 Vol. 4 of the series again establishes the Worst Behavior crew’s curatorial talents, as they connect the dots between the bass-loving underground worldwide. Forward-thinking, high-quality, and fun, these tracks represent the future of soundsystem music and culture globally. Lock in!
