Chuck a fat electro break on that (as

GIST: Gist (2015)
Like French duo Air? Like that talk-box hook from 2Pac’s California Love? The Spyder D sample on Latyrx’s The Quickening? The Rose Royce sample on the Beasties’ Shake Your Rump or their Eggo sample on Make Some Noise? Yeah?

MANTRONIX: ‘Bassline’ blue 7″ (2015)
It’s a blue seven inch vinyl re-press time for Mantronix’s seminal Bassline a.k.a. the opening cut off Kurtis Mantronik and MC Tee’s debut album, The Album. Recorded in a day, the track is world famous and a seminal slice of music – though as much (if not more) inflential outside of hip-hop than within. Why? One listen to the combo of the 3-note bassline (played on a Juno 60) and the

DUSTY TONEZ: Ghetto Maestro (2011)
Ghetto Maestro is the forthcoming release from Dusty Tonez and as more cultured readers will know, ‘maestro’ is Italian for ‘master.’ What is less well-known is that the same word appears in Irish Gaelic and, although there’s no direct translation, it approximates to ‘rather large and funky slice of wobbly bass.’ As you might expect therefore, the original mix here draws from funk, ragga and dubstep influences
