Modern Dub

We looove bass music, in all its varieties: dub, dancehall, dnb, jungle, dubstep, garage, grime, footwork, gqom, kuduro, kizomba, zouk, East African vibes, moombathon, perreo, baile funk, and many more, plus all the genre crossovers in between. Gradually, when clubs reopened in 2022, we began consciously booking more bass acts at Lecken, starting with the night where Sarah Farina delivered a masterful “rainbow bass” set, right after yung_womb from SLIC Unit gave us an electric neo-perreo & baile funk initiation (check out the recording on our SC). That night, for 4 hours, the physical particles of time stood still. The dance floor and podiums surrounding the DJ booth were packed tightly, pelvic floors were shedding off every disciplining convention, and everybody just got how “polyrhythmic portals can lead people into trance states,” to quote AfroOankali.  

In December 2022, we invited DJs, curators, and activists, @sarahfarina and @afrooankali, to talk to us about the roots and politics of what they respectively call “rainbow bass” and “ritual bass,” their artistic & curatorial approach to it, and the wonderful home they’ve built for it, the party series Emergent Bass held at Mensch Meier. The talk was moderated by Wanda Gaimes [@skankstasy] from Lecken.

The talk took place at OXI Club on 9.12.2022, and the first few minutes of the talk did not make it onto the recording due to technical difficulties.

A note from the artist:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Treezy B's African Art of Acid (Triple A baybee) Mixx, an homage to the art form that is known as acid house. As we all know House was birthed from Chicago, coming from the same gestation of 80s post disco black music that gave us Techno & Hip Hop. This period of musical innovation, propelled primarily by black youth, was yet another part in the long history of African-Americans dictating popular culture. Acid house was another rhythmic mistake, like the original blue note; an innovative use of technology beyond it's original intent by putting sum stank on it. 

It was black people who used a discarded bass machine to produce futuristic & psychedelic sounds that would influence the world yet again. Yet acid house, like most forms of popular music, did not do for the black community what it's done for others. Acid muzik has been lazily copied and mass produced, with little of the soul intact. There was no Second Summer of Love in Amerikkka, no Ibiza for Negroes to spend their holiday, no beginnings of a multi-million dollar industry that could change the lives of Lady Liberty's bastard children. The Summer of 1988 for those of African blood was another year of ravaging due to Reaganomics, Thatcherism, crack cocaine, gang violence, and institutional racism on a global scale.

Still melanin keeps on providing because funk is it's own reward. And if it ain't funky then what the funk are you doin?

All songs are acid music produced by people of African Diasporac descent. All vinyl records on 1 Technics SL-1200M3D, 1 Technics SL-1200MK5 & an Ecler NUO 2.0 mixer.
Overdubs of black people ripped from youtube and mixed on Ableton Live 10 Suite Free 30 day trial.
