Bajka” up to the collaboration by Kabanjak and Fat Albert Einstein or a Dub Remix of a Deela song with Spanish singer Maria Garcia Lora, here are some of our bass-heavy Reggae gems.

Bass Culture's Third Chapter in 2021 is the tight and radiant chant "Dem a Run", starred by Louie Melody at the vocals. The tune is an inspiring encounter between Bass Culture Players and the young singer, who also is the musician and multitalented producer in charge of Gwari Music.

Updating the classic "Take 5 / Gunman" riddim, Louie showcases his vocal skills, with melodies distilled from being part of the Portuguese reggae scene for years. "Dem a Run" direction evokes the sounds of the early '80s but in a personal style and fresh vision.

Don't forget to check Louie and Gwari Music's catalog stepping forward a rich agenda.

What We Leave Behind

Unedited, unmixed 24 cello multitrack of Vaughan Williams' Variations on a Theme of Thomas Tallis. This was one of the first things I did after coming back to the cello after an unhappy few years away from it. I played this on a borrowed student cello and there is so much that could be better, but it was a work from the heart so I hope you enjoy the moment for what it was.

Coffee & Cigarettes Vol 4

George Palmer meets Bass Culture Players “Dread Ina Babylon” 

Once I have reached a mature age enough to realize how the system in wich we live in works, I decided to adapt to it with my own norms and started to live consciousy within it. This is when I began to change the idea of escaping physically by thinking of a spiritual exile. For it is the spiritual and the mystical that is ignored and rejected in this system. 

On my way, I am searching for pureness and positivity to fill the hearts and souls of each and everyone who surrounds me. Basing myself constantly on understanding and harmony between humans all arround the world. TO undertake this path, I have to be conscious and be aware of this pain, suffering, grief and misery are as natural a part of this world as life itself. The balance in Mother Nature teaches me at every step. I am discovering what is on each side, but above all i learn to stay with the virtues. 

And soon on the way I relalized that everything I have done was for some reason; Love. The engine that moves the world. The pure energy that every being needs. The antidote for a sick soul. The light in the deepest darkness. 

Bass Culture Players 

Is a musical Project based in Madrid and mainly focused on Reggae experimentation. A creative laboratory that mixes local singers and musicians from spanish scene in search for a very personal formula. 

The contemporary calling and the determined investment in the Do it Yourself praxis meet the deep devotion for 70s and 80s Roots Reggae, which inspires all productions from beginning to end. 

Bass Culture Players is built up with the personality of the different artists that converge at Discoinferno, the recording and mixing studio that Puppa Shan orchestrates in northern Madrid. 

Discoinferno is located at the watchtower where the vision of humble (or working class) neighbourhoods and green areas overlay the corrupted financial heart of Madrid. This cooperative working room is where musical militancy has been projecting for years a committed look rooted in European XXI century urban reality. 

Digital Distribution: La Panchita Records 2017

Recorded at Discoinferno, Kinky Lab and Amalgamah studios. 
Lyrics and vocal perform by Gorka Arnedo (George Palmer). 
All music composed, arranged and recorded by Bass Culture Players
Produced and mixed by Puppa Shan @ Discoinferno Studio, Madrid. 
Mastered by Xavier "Lek" Farré. 
Artistic concept: George Palmer and Antton Ugarte

Fall in Deep

Natty Nature meets Bass Culture Players "Country Living showcase"

This new showcase released in Autumn 2017 is the end result of a lot of hard work and several months of planning taking place throughout the past year. Two faces of the reggae and dub culture in Madrid unite forces to bring you this EP; the mature and educated sound of Bass Culture Players alongside the fresh vocal and artistic vibe brought to you by the young Natty Nature.

As well as it being a showcase of the first ever musical production together, it’s Natty’s first solid project in creating a full album as supposed to releasing singles. Influenced by the 70’s and 80’s Roots Reggae sound of Jamaica, Puppa Shan has composed these riddims, bringing in some of Spain’s best Reggae musicians and united with Natty Nature to bring you what could be Spain’s 2017 roots album revelation of the year. 

New generation coming from the mountains of Madrid to bring you songs with message and a deeper understanding of the times we are living in through a young man’s perspective. Raised on Roots Reggae and forming himself in the Sound System scene, Natty is a versatile singjay working militantly on his and his brother’s sound called “Nu School Steppas Sound System”, working on several projects to be announced and released this upcoming year. 

This is the beginning of a great friendship and musical bond between two warriors brought together by the love of Reggae Music and the willingness to create a project that promotes consciousness amongst the people, in this time where there seems to be real a lack of knowledge and understanding, aiming at an international audience.

This track is based on Thomas Tallis’s four-part setting of his psalm tune, “Why fum'th in fight the Gentiles spite, in fury raging stoute,” for Archbishop Parker’s Psalter (1567). This piece has been re-worked by various composers and arrangers. My changes were minimal. In the first section, I simply dropped the lowest line, in the second section I left the parts as is, and in the third section I doubled a few of the parts. This MIDI realization used a sampled flute, a sampled string quartet, and several sampled pipe organs.

SWITCHSTANCE RECORDINGS 
Quality music for advanced listeners!

"Switchstance" is taken from the culture of boardsports, meaning the skill used to change the stance (easily) by switching one's foot position. The stance in freestyle Snowboarding or Skateboarding, is either riding in "regular" (left foot forward) or "goofy" (right foot forward) position. This identifies a really skilled rider and opens up a whole new world of trick combinations.

The label's creed and therefore the style of its producers and DJs is to have ultimate freedom, whether in their musical movements or in "switching" between various styles. The aim of the label is to combine early musical influences such as Funk, Jazz, Latin, 90´s Hip Hop and Reggae with the most progressive techniques of electronic music production in order to create a new dynamic sound that pays respect to the diverse cultures it comes from. It is the soundtrack of the lives of artists that dedicate their time and energy to produce cutting-edge grooves for a conscious and openminded generation.

Inspired by the label members' and friends' lifestyles in music, boardsports, arts and travels; the sound of Switchstance is always in motion and reflects a unique vision and attitude towards modern life.
