Brooklyn native, Doctor Jeep, aka Andre Lira is and has been, one of the most exciting and consistent producers to come up through the ranks of the underground bass music scene, to become one of the most influential and innovative artists to emerge in many years. His  discography impressively spans many respected labels and many different flavors. He eschews genre tags for substance, fusing familiar elements of grime, dubstep, house, and just about every imaginable in-between you could think of. His sound is distinctly his own, and unsurprisingly has found it’s way into many taste-maker’s sets, squarely placing him at the forefront of the new movement in bass music, that embraces past and present simultaneously and is unafraid to experiment with different tempos and sound palettes. Ultimately creating a unique, but cohesive, hybrid sound.

This EP sees Jeep dabble in a slightly higher (or perhaps lower depending on your math) bpm-range than what most people may be expecting. It leads off with the title track, “Dissociate”, which brings to mind images of one separating from one’s consciousness through the song’s hypnotic rhythms and soundscapes. Slowly building into a menacing, shambling monster of a tune, the bass-line snarls with the catchy hook layered on top. The GREAZUS flip takes the main theme of the original and dives into footwork territory, experimenting with different rhythms in the sub-bass, giving it an energetic, but minimal sensation sure to please late-night crowds.

TX, is next up, which lulls us into a false sense of ease, with a shimmering synth lead, then we are unexpectedly thrown into the Bear’s den when we hear the eerie vocal beckon. Bass-line madness and tight, steppy percussion ensue and give way to an infectious call & response hook that’s sure to get stuck in your head. Levrige take the reigns on remix duty of TX and give us a scorching jungle-laced stepper, that reminds us of the golden-era. Sweat-drenched, warehouse rave vibes, that tie-in the original concept, but distort the lens to fucked
up perfection. Subcorr holds down anchor with his ReRemix, coming in at a cloying 120 bpm. A stepping, but broken house beat, meets a fat 808 sub and sly chords to create a cloak-and-dagger vibe, while the subtle, but meaningful breakbeat edits provide context. This EP has something for bass lovers of all stripes.

Doctor Jeep - Dissociate (Original Mix)

Proven to work crowds into rabid excitement, “Don” is the frenzied single from German duo Schlachthofbronx. Beginning with a single echoed synth note and unassumingly building steam for two minutes, the track takes an unexpected turn into a fever pitch.

Barclay Crenshaw adds his own interpretation, foregoing the intense build up and kicking straight into a manic Chicago footwork rendition of the original. He played the remix relentlessly on his recent sold out album tour of America and featured the original on his highly lauded Transmission 001 mixtape: https://soundcloud.com/barclay-crenshaw-33544993/transmission-001-mixtape

Schlachthofbronx  - Don (Barclay Crenshaw Remix) -Stx&Brx

Channeling a love affair with classic '90s hip-hop, an affinity for otherworldly themes and an ear for raw funk, Barclay Crenshaw uses his given birth name to bare his soul and deliver a slowed-down, emotive collection of collaborations and instrumentals. This self-titled debut album is a left-field departure from his better-known alias, Claude VonStroke, but the quality is undeniably the same. The themes of ancient alien abductions and exploration of time and space are discovered and brought to life over ten tracks that sound like a mixture of gold rope chains and new age enlightenment. Modern organic beats mixed with gorgeous melodic moments and underlying grittiness create an experience that is eclectic, expressive and expansive. Coded art furthers the sense of mystery and the unknown, harking back to the past while gazing into the future. 

Guests include a wide array of artists, from bass maestro Mr. Carmack to the U.K.’s inspired Lady Chann, Flatbush emcees The Underachievers, and even a Cool Kids reunion from Chuck Inglish & Sir Michael Rocks.

Bon Iver - "715 - CRΣΣKS" (Barclay Crenshaw White Label Renegade Cut)

Our boss Claude VonStroke is the busiest guy we know. When he's not traveling the world or curating an event, he's in the studio every day putting in hours upon hours, relentless in perfecting his craft. He's had a slew of hits the past couple years in the form of remixes and collaborations, and now with the "Walay (My Bae)" EP, Claude gets back to some inventive and somewhat "out of the box" solo works.

The title song leads with a melodic riff and an funky vocal that sounds like a defective cyborg is proclaiming love for his partner, "Walay." This quasi-human uses the slang "My Bae" to try and pass for human and we almost believe in his passion. The sound harkens back to old classic rave tracks but also pushes very modern production techniques.

Claude VonStroke - Walay (My Bae) [DIRTYBIRD]

Lyrics:

Look at life through an LCD screen
Paper dreams i cant sleep
Static satisfaction, But you still feel down
Who you wanna really be?

Who you really wanna be?

And where are we now?
It seems you've lost yourself
Blood runs so thin
Fabricated wealth
Stand on the edge 
Cantilever 
Stand on the edge 

Come back from virtual insanity 
The highlight reel's a dark place
Step back into chemical reality
I feel myself float away 

I feel myself float away
I feel myself float away
I feel myself float
