It’s rich pickings among the breaks section of the bass music market this December and Booty Fruit’s stall is no exception. Volume 5 of their Proper Produce series offers quality fare that steers clear of wobble ‘funk’ and vends hip-hop, funk and reggae influenced numbers instead. Mr Fresh, for example, is true to his name keeping things all hip-hop and mo’ fruity. Then there’s Lone Drum’s Minnie which is the best bit of fuck music in several months and, while the title of Ras B’s slow-skanking Turbo Lounge conjures the idea of a posh bar for filthy drinkers of cheap cider, the track is, of course, best suited to soundtrack a pipe and crepe or, more seasonally, a shmoke and a mince pie. Which just leaves Kill Emil’s Alphabet Land – a place that mainly seems to contain the letters M-E-T-E-R-S. I know, that’s two ‘e’s. One for the heads and the groovers, then.
