Freestylers unleash their VIP mix of The Coming Storm and it bangs harder than Godzilla in a brothel.   

The original which featured the moody and melodic vocals of Takura was voted Tune of the Month by DJ Mag.  It received support from the likes of Congo Natty, Bassnectar, Aphrodite, Aquasky, Mista Jam, Flux Pavillion, Roni Size and Pyramid.  
 
They have revamped the dub and jungle infused original into an all round breaks classic that echoes the sound of original Freestylers.  It's a louder, heavier, summertime scorcher and  one for the true heads.

BASSBIN TWINS  'WAY OUT'

Five years have passed since 601 demonstrated their skillish long-player power with ‘Dirty North’. Since then Nat Slater and George Miller have ravaged the airwaves on Kiss100 and Radio1, frothed up frenzied crowds across Europe and appeared on highly respected labels such as Noodles, Westway, Sub Slayers, Rocstar, Ape and the agenda-setting Passenger. 

Sporting an explosive, boundary-blowing experimental technique, the Harrogate-based duo are one of the leading names in the ever-mutating 140 movement. They’ve picked up props from the likes of Rico Tubbs, Diplo, Toddla T, Jaguar Skillz, Marcus Visionary and Shimon and nothing reps this ever-increasing hype more than this 14 track bass opus ‘We Do Bass’. Let’s press play and analyse the treats on offer. 

The party is ignited by the game-changing, Ragga Twins-fronted ‘Dutty Bass’. One of the best album openers we’ve heard in years, hype heroics truly don’t get much bolder. ‘Pixilate’ follows. The first single to come from the album, it’s a tried and tested rave homage with searing old skool synths and cut throat bass hook. Up next, ‘Listen’; a stuttering, swashbuckling tear-up that pays respect to the early devastation of formative D&B cuts but delivered at a 140 tempo. 

Proof of the duo’s crucial versatility continues on ‘U’. Playfully teasing the riddim around the 80/160 axis, it boasts shades of early jungle and hardcore while remaining wholly contemporary. Up next, ‘Afterparty’. Featuring the forthright mic-mastering of Madrush MC, it’s an ode to extending the party vibe well into the silly hours. Washed with dreamy synths and a bulbous bassline, it’ll have booties shaking way beyond sunrise. 

‘Guerrilla Dub’ flips the vibe even further. A skank-maxed roller armed with an obese dub bassline, chop-tickling breakbeats and a hoover-henched switch, it’s yet another naughty notch in the duo’s production bedpost. ‘Stars’, meanwhile, is your quintessential ‘lighters up’ moment thanks to the delicate dulcets of Roison Brophy. ‘Like This’ heaves us out of the emotional charge with a slippery, snake-like topline and an industrial strength waspish bassline while ‘Get Money’ sees 601 dropping the tempo for a raunchy, ghetto-bass workout that comes complete with an immense chugging, diesel powered riddim. 

‘Delta Seventy’ surges us into the album’s final straight. A shimmering arpeggio and scorching bassline show the duo at their most rampant; twinkling and tearing in equal measure, it’s yet another instant rewind. ‘Drop It Now’ takes this low-end mischief even further with tight edits on the breaks and truly guttural bass stabs. The Frilla-fronted ‘Keep It Up’ follows with waves of lush rave synths, sharp-tongue lyrical truth-telling and a belly-busting droning bassline. ‘Relapse’, meanwhile, stabs with a steppier sound design, all sharp breakbeats and melodic lines that wouldn’t have gone amiss on early Good Looking cuts. 

‘Land Of The Free’ ends this elephantine exercise with undiluted body-slamming badness. A celebration of every bass flavour possible, there are shades of drumstep, breakbeat, D&B, dubstep and 4/4 weaved deep into the hair-raising mix. A fitting end to an absolutely devastating album, if 601 aren’t on your radar yet, they will be after this. And we promise you they’ll stay on it forever. Salute!

this is the second mix in a series 'trust me i was there' - the music in this mix is what was getting played in the places with a more relaxed door policy (places that would let in 15-16 year olds) and on the london pirate dance radio stations in 1988.

one thing i find interesting about this year (as a producer) is the contrast between the really raw acid stuff and the super slick vocal tracks - one of which was exec produced by quincy jones no less!!

please share this mix with anyone you think might like it :D

if you’re a promoter and you’d like to book me to play one of these sets (or any other era) please contact
belinda or charlotte at echo - please don’t contact me via soundcloud because i don't check this inbox!

this is chapter 4 of my 'trust me i was there' mix series - the second part (of 3) from 1989 - an outstanding year for beats. check out what i've always considered the first jungle tune near the end (then argue with me that its not, no doubt...) - suad £10 to get in. and spot the track with dj rap singing on it!!

if you're a promoter and want to book me to play a 'trust me i was there' set pls contact belinda or charlotte at echo - not via soundcloud or Facebook cos i don't check the messages!

bubbling LA Acid throwback: Year: 1996 - Label: Bassex - Track: 'Hold Your Wig' by Metro LA (Mike 'Xpando' Knapp and dj Eric Davenport).  I'd done this remix with ancient gear - it was flawed and the timing drifted in an unfriendly manner - Despite all that i recently locked the drift, stripped it lean to 3:30 minutes, and started dropping it in sets again.
 For you now is that edit at 320k. xx

this is part 8 of a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - this one is pt3 of 3 from 1990 - check the links below for the previous mixes. 

this mix includes the first release on reinforced, a couple of tracks that dj hype was involved in, some classic warp (lfo!!!!) the massive 'mr kirks nightmare' and one of my all time favs - radio babylon.

this is part 11 in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there' - the tracks that were big in the clubs i was going to and the london pirates i was listening to at the time.

in 91 the music was morphing from the previous housier/US sound to a more UK vibe, with baselines and breakbeats shaping the sound. as a punter/dj back then, I had really liked the earlier music in these mixes, but from this point I felt like i was part of a scene that was largely people like me, in areas like where i lived - i was well and truly hooked!

if you think someone you know might be interested in checking it out please share with them - likewise if you have any of my music on your hard drive please share with anyone who might like it.

if you are a promoter and want to book me for a 'trust me i was there' set please contact belinda at echo
