You should definintely check June's show to hear new tunage by Slugabed (Sex !!), Stagga, Swede:art, Monky, NastyNasty (Apologies !!) and many many more or acquaint yourself with new mind-boggling sick shit from newcomers like Philly-based Speaker for the Dead (never heard of him). His Illusionaire is HEAVY. Plus a few totally sick remixes by e.g. NastyNasty, Marty Party or Kastle. One of the best shows from Starkey in a while. Don't sleep on this.

Street Bass Anthems 4 Vinyl (Seclusiasis) - Review

Title: Street Bass Anthems 4 Vinyl

Label: Seclusiasis
Format: 12” EP
Tracklisting:
A1. Starkey - Starkvillain
A2. Starkey - Starkvillain (Instrumental)
B1. Pacheko - Lockdown (6Blocc Remix)
B2. DNAEBeats - Razur Kut

ESSENTIAL PURCHASE 8 / 10

Starkey's Street Bass strikes back. This time Seclusiasis will soon release the 4th volume of the unique bass heavy urban music. The first three volumes and the associated singles were heavily rinsed across the clubs spreading havoc on the dancefloors. As a preview to the CD and digital format to be released later this Fall, the street bass crew has just dropped an EP on vinyl. Everything Starkey touches bears the QUALITY mark all across the board, this release is no exception to this rule. After such an interesting preview I am very eagerly anticipating the “Street Bass Anthems Volume 4” mixtape compilation which will feature exclusive material from Starkey, Slugabed (YEEEESSSSSS!!!), Dev79, Stagga, BD1982, Si Young (of Plastic Little), Kotchy, Buddy Leezle, and more!!!

Starkey - Starkvillain (160kbps)

The A side of this record features Starkey’s Starkvillain in vocal and instrumental versions. Starkvillain (Inst) is exclusive to this 12” and will not be on the mixtape, so you better grab this shit now. Starkvillain is a kind of badman uptempo 2-step tune with pumping beat which I can imagine will be welcomed enthusiastically by the club crowds, at least by its female part. In particular the version with pretty cheesy R&B vocals on top :)) I'm not a big fan of this type of 'singing', yet in Starkey's twisted interpretation, this shit gains proper depth and will definitely find its way to the crates of many DJ's. The beat is very crispy!!

Pacheko - Lockdown (6Blocc remix) (160kbps)

For me personally, the real highligths of this release can be found on the flipside, starting off with the f...g mental remix of Pacheko's Lockdown by 6Blocc (aka R.A.W. aka B-Boy 3000 - the legendary drum n’ bass turntablist). The original version of Lockdown is soon to be released on the Japanese label Murder Channel. I've always been a big fan of Pacheko's stuff since the first time I heard some old tranquera mixtapes (in this context another name comes to mind - Cardopusher). 6Blocc leaves the mega groovy 4X4 bassline more or less unchanged, except for a few cut-up beats thrown in, but what makes this really stand apart from the original is sick sick sick dancehall vocals on top making the track an absolute killer on any dancefloor. This ragga ranting combined with super sleek synths has been haunting my player for weeks now :))

DNAEBeats - Razor Kut (160kbps)

Razor Kut by San Francisco‘s DNAEBeats is another bomb on the B-side. One word comes to mind immediately when hearing this track - dirty. A dirty combination of distorted grimey beats and vocals with glitchy and crunky synths and the bassline which twists with a speed of the snail yet the agility of a snake. Extremely infectious stuff, I've listened this track on repeat like 30 times when I first heard it. For me personally - numero uno on this release. Rustie's fans should not miss this joint definitely.

In general, I highly recommend this release. 8 out of 10***. Essential purchase. Grab it on Boomkat or Juno or Turntable Lab.


Bonus:

A great podcast by DNAEBeats for xlr8r.

Mochipet - VNecks (DNAEBEATS - Reptilian Hybrid Remix)

Dev79 - Live from Full Service at Club Love NYC + Donaeo - Party Hard (Dev79 Refix)

I still have vivid recollections of the brainsmashing Contra Bass party during which the ratio of killing bangers per minute went through the roof. That's why I more than welcomed the stuff hitting my mailbox from none other than Dev79 - Philly's Street Bass and Seclusiasis crew posse (Starkey, Kotchy - you all know them right??). Banging beats mood continues and Dev79 delivers what I'm craving for - namely bass-heavy ass-ripping ravey live set from Full Service at Love Club, NYC.

Live from Full Service at Club Love NYC 7-31-09 (zshare)

The tracklist is simply stellar. No exaggeration. Really. The mix starts from the earthquake and continues in the same spirit till the end. It's even hard to mention a few highlights as the whole set soaks with consistent and merciless energy downpour ranging from ravey anthems through deep breakdowns, distorted drops, punches and sick basslines to low frequency dubstep tunes, and grimey rants. Refixed, remixed and reprocessed but with one common denominator - lotsa heavy bass (or should I write street bass?). I wish I was at this party.

Well, I have to mention at least a few tracks.
Dev79 - In Ya Face (Willy Joy Remix) - smashing anthem, I've danced my ass off last Saturday to similar shit, arghhh. No f...g mercy to all beard-strokers and bar flies. Move your joints or scram.
BD1982 - Space Boots (Slugabed Remix) - f..g mental track! Slugabed has just recently released a few heavy glitched tracks and remixes and is fast gaining on appreciation. You should definitely memorize this name. Check the entire EP by BD1982 now on Seclusiasis with more great remixes by Hovatron (my fave on this release next to Slugabed), Starkey, Tayo and more.
Playdoe - Freeze Step (Starkey Remix). Philly's don Starkey never falters and delivers only quality tunnage and his remixes are class in themselves.
Backlash (Raffertie Remix) - Crazy, sick Raffertie at his best. I love this man.
Kudos to Dev79 for including Pacheko, Various Production, Dnae Beats in his mix. Great producers all of them.

Shit, I will soon list all the tracks on the mix. And music speaks better than 1000 words. You better listen for yourself.

Finally check gunky (Dev79's own term to describe this type of ruffed up funky music) bass refix of pretty infectious funky house / 2-step'ish track by Donaeo - Party Hard cooked by Dev79. The remix is definitely heavier, deeper and I would even risk saying more "funky" than the original :)
