I first ever  heard Xylitol this year playing live  at StrangeBrew in Bristol as part of the Tudor Acid’s Electro Café night.

Bass Scoops Radio In Conversation with Xylitol November 2022

Finally!  The second  part of my interview with Borai from the summer of 2023. I recommend you listen to Part 1 first for the full story but hey feel free to do whatever you want too of course. 

I met up with Boris English, who you may better know how as Borai. Breakbeat artist extraordinaire, solo artist of great repute, a corner stone of bass music in Bristol , part for the excellent Club Glow crew and one half of the Off Beat modern hard house project with Don'tforgettogohome. Borai was super generous with his time and not only shares with us his own story but gives us insights into the evolution of bass music in Bristol from its Jungle roots though dubstep to the present day. Alongside this we get the production tips, lessons from the music business, a guided tour of his treasure trove of a studio and of course the story of that record with that sample!

As always on the Bass Scoops we cut the interviews with some choice selections along the way from the artists back catalog and a track or too that inspired them.

Tracklist Part 2

1.	Lucid Dreams  - Borai & Denham Audio – Form Club Glow Vol 1, 2018’s releases and where it all started for the Club Glow crew
2.	Make Me – The track with that Sample!  Borai & Denham Audio’s Dance music masterpiece. 
3.	Spiritflesh – Ever Impending Doom – The electronic  doomcore side project
4.	We Are I.E. (Borai’s Brizzle Bassline Remix) – Hooj Choons 2022 release
5.	Borai & Dontforgettogohome – Wicked, off the Scooter EP on Offbeat Records 
6.	Borai - Remember me – Hardcore Energy

Borai In Conversation With Bass Scoops Radio Part 2

Broadcasting from the South West of the UK expect a lot of jungle, dub, hardcore and sounds loosely termed "rave".  The more "left field" the better and our selectors try to bring a few less heard cuts to the mix. We love the roots of the scene, respecting  the forefathers and mothers of the music so we'll be dropping some classics  in with the new tracks pushing bass music forward. Alongside the above genres we can't miss out on a good tune so  you'll also hear  acid house, balearic , house and their  evolutionary  offspring  like trip hop, dubstep, d&b, UK Garage and more...

If you have a track that you'd like us to play on  a show please get in touch via a DM. Dubs always welcome!
