Release.Info :
It sounds rather like a term your exasperated granddad might use in lieu of
anything more specific, but æbass musicÆ is, for now, the best catch-all we have
to describe the fertile dancefloor cross-pollination taking place between
dubstep, house and techno. Alternately û and in some cases all at once û these
allied producers reference garage, funky house, grime and numerous points
between, chewing up the past in order, so artist and audience hope, to spit out
the future. As with any genre, or confection of genres, the productions involved
range from game-changing to the eminently forgettable.
The first volume of FabricÆs impressive new mix series dedicated to this
bass-heavy territory tends almost exclusively towards the former, delivering a
raft of previously unreleased, unmixed tracks, that surveys some of the more
diverting routes modern dance music is taking to reach hips and feet. Happily,
those routes frequently go via the head, too. ThatÆs certainly true of LondonÆs
Untold: the plunging, chrome-plated and laser-streaked gurgle of his Bad Girls
sounds as singular as the string of audacious tracks he released last year. And
with his Gold Bricks, I See You, Mosca also delivers a piece of music so fresh
itÆs still bleeding: euphoric in part, and scattered with cut-up vocals and
digital horns, itÆs also infused with the exquisite melancholy that
characterises so many garage tracks.
Elsewhere BristolÆs Julio Bashmore, one of the most promising among the younger
members of this amorphous group of producers, justifies the hype with The Moth,
a scintillating blend of house-tempo 2-step and airy Cologne techno-style synths
thatÆs underpinned by enormous bass bumps, like waves slapping the hull of some
sleek ocean-going machine.
Nearly all the tracks here are for peak-time floors, so the pixellated shimmer
of Om UnitÆs Encoded, which nevertheless exudes a skewed funk from its mid-tempo
crawl, comes as a welcome shift of emphasis. That said, the diversity on display
throughout Elevator Music, from the pattering techno of VistaÆs Elixir to the
space-station jazz of MartynÆs Friedrichstrasse, is very much its own reward. In
fact the only plausible complaint that could be levelled at it is that certain
prime movers and promising newcomers û Joy Orbison, Scuba, Mount Kimbie û arenÆt
represented, but then thereÆs always volume two, right?
