Champion - Execution EP [NEST033]

"'Listen Da Bass' was an idea I've had in my head for about a year. My host & tight friend 'Serious' had a bunch of phrases he would say on my sets so I got him in to record me a bunch of one-shot vocal samples last year with the hopes that I would naturally use them at some point. I had a 16 bar loop that I put down the same week I'd done 'Execution' that I thought was a winner but i didn't want to put any musicality on top of it. My answer to that was to go through the vocals I got from Serious, lay them on the track & arrange from there then before I knew it, the tune was finished!"

Champion - Listen Da Bass Ft. Serious One [NEST033]

"It started with 'Execution.' All I knew is that it had to have a 4x4 kick drum, a bad boy sample & the most disgusting bass riff ever (laughs). I put the idea down in a couple of hours then tweaked for about a week here & there. The Brass riff on the intro I added last. I was into hearing big, heavy strings at the time so I had to include it somewhere." -- Champion
