Subwoofer Test King

 Sound Test Equipment Preferred Dish

 

Today I have a real cool item to share with you! What you see here is an audiophile CD box from Mainland China. Released by MUSICNESTMUSIC it contains a total of 8 CD's with 136 tracks ranging from classical music to sound effects, Western popular hits,Chinese traditional music, African tribal rhythms and everything else inbetween...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was really pleasantly surprised with the quality of the package. It comes in a nice metal box with an 8 page booklet and as mentioned before 8 CD's.

 

Not just 8 CDs but 8 black CDs! According to the booklet they are made out of "High transmittance polycarbonate material, backed with new nano reduction film coating, diskblue-black".  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore it reads, and I quote;" Black rubber CD adopts exclusive patented production technology. It does not have the disadvantage of die casting loss and format conversion, which leads to the deterioration of sound quality. The use of special materials makes black rubber CD more durable. Simply put, black glue CDs use exclusive patented technology, coupled with the processing of artistic sense, even on ordinary CD machines can also obtain (black glue record) like music enjoyment. The voice is really amazing, the sound field is super wide, the voice is real, it is worthy of the black rubber CD."

Black rubber CD? You learn something new every day!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now let me tell you, I am not a fan of audiophile CDs at all! Disc 3 for instance turns out to be THIS RELEASE (sucks), and disc 1 THIS RELEASE (more suckage, but that is my opinion ofcourse! Might be gold for others!). The other 5 discs also didn't move me. 

So where does this post become relevant you ask?

With disc number 4!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's awesome right? The Chinese release of "Bass Explosion U.S.A. Volume One"! Talking about a rare find... 

Didn't put anything on YouTube because this is mainly an item for your collection but you can always CLICK THIS LINK if you want to hear the black disc Bass Explosion!!!

 

Latin Booty Party 2

The party doesnt stop!!

After the succes of Latin Booty Party, DM Records HAD to release another volume! This time the cover artwork was done by Dennis Friel.

Turn up the bass and PARTY!

 

Trip Hop Experience - Chapter One

Unofficial release

That's why the cover looks so horrible. The color that is, because the cover was designed by Deryck Ragoonanan for ImagExpress Corporation. But the black and white image that I posted was taken from the Lithuanian cassette released by Zarazza. Mira:

The original DM Records release looks better:

This release came as a nice surprise! Some of the tracks are so hard they sound like Florida breaks, almost early rave-like. Listen to Digicom International!




Or "Acid people" by Europhase



DOPE SOUNDS!

"Relax" makes you do just that... relax... this sounds like a predecessor to vaporwave, pretty cool...




Yep, good release. I only wonder why they had to glue a "compact disc digital audio" sticker on the CD? Did they forget to print it??

DM RECORDS, FOR THE BEST IN BASS

 

BitPusher - Digital Bass 2017

Tribute

I just found out about this BitPusher release this evening (yeah I'm a year late to the party), but I had to share it with "y'all" because it's a cool tribute to a bass classic. As a loyal follower of this blog I am sure you guessed which classic I am talking about already... 

Yes, Bass 305's Digital Bass!

Let's see what BitPusher himself had to say about it:

"The name of the album, and the design of the cover and retail CD's artworks are a minor tribute to one of my biggest influences growing up: Bass 305"


Way to go BitPusher. Let's check out the music now and support in any way you can...

"My 5th release!
I consider this my crowning achievement, and not just because it is my most current, but because of everything that went into it!

This album is a digital assault on your system. This is bass music, it is for fellow car audio junkies and bassheads. It has been carefully recorded, mixed, and mastered for maximum boom and fantastic clarity, and with frequencies occasionally dropping well below 30hz, it is can supply woofer junkies with what they need. Featuring a mix of assorted electronic music styles including hiphop, techno, electro, a woofer endurance test track, and a couple of the quintessential slow and low DB drag style jams, it is a well rounded LP. Being a BitPusher album, there may be a small touch of chiptune onboard as well. A majority of the bass in this album was generated using digital FM synthesis as opposed to the more common techniques musicians tend to use such as pitch bending or time stretching kick drum samples. If you want a handy track for showing off how deep and loud your 12"s or 15"s are, there has to be something on this album to suit you!"  

D.J. Bass Syndicate Presents... Techno Bass Essentials

20 TRACKS

These are the tracks:

I seriously doubt it there is an actual "D.J. Bass Syndicate" out there who had anything to do with this cd. Just another DM Records compilation released with mandatory artwork from Deryck Ragoonanan to get more money in the DM bank account (hey, can we blame them?).

If you don't know about DM Records take a look around on YouTube. Otherwise let me know if you want to check out a particular song...

 Oh hell here is a song:


 

Bass Syndicate - Cyberbass-Virtual Reality

Produced & engineered by Bass 305

Not a world news I guess... isn't every bass album from DM Records produced & engineered by Bass 305??? Also as usual the illustration is done by Deryck Ragoonanan and the design by ImagExpress Corporation. This is the label's 3rd bass release but for sure not my favorite. Not saying it's BAD, but there's no track that really stands out. Take a listen for yourself:
 



If you don't feel like sitting in front of your computer screen for the next hour you can also GO HERE and listen to it tomorrow on your Walkman.

OH? They don't use Walkmans anymore? Exucse the age! Listen to it tomorrow on your iPhone then! Better?

United World Of Dance For Party People - Bass

250003

Smart people overthere in Belgium. At least they realised that "Bass" is a real musical genre in itself, and they gave it a volume in their collection of dance cd's.

OK, given, all tracks are from DM Records releases, so maybe not the most representative for bass, but still a good release. Here's my 2 favorite tracks:

Saludos!

Bass 305 - Digital Bass

The science of sound

If you didn't know yet, this is a real classic. The first release by Bass 305, the first release by DM Records, and being from 1992, it's also one of the earlier car audio bass cd's! Visit the Bassipedia for more on that subject.

These are some of my favorite tracks on this release:

02. Techno bass (Eurobass mix)

06. Techno soul bass (Hip hop version) (This is the intrumental to the Bass Gangsters' "Bass gangsters party all night long!" track)

07. Turntable terrorism (18 Turntables power mix)

and 10. DJ Scratch (Miami bass version)

They must have been busy moving out of their offices during the release of this cd. Take a look at the date and address on the inside of the booklet; 1992, Pompano Beach

but by the time they printed the backcover, it was 1993, and they had moved to Ft. Lauderdale. The things you learn here...

Bass Poets - Bass Boom Booty

With special guest: Mr. Mixx

 
...and also produced by Mr. Mixx as you can see. I thought the Bass Poets to be a Mr. Mixx pseudonym but it seems they are Mr. Mixx, Big Ike, Shotgun and No Way Jose; never heard of them before... If YOU know more about this group, feel free to give a comment.The album artwork is done by Marlon Pacheco and the cd is released by DM Records.

Enjoy... 

Booty Bass Party

DM Vinyl

Not a top album but they didn't release a lot of vinyl lp's on DM Records (two?) so that makes it kinda interesting...



Or not?



Anyhow, take a listen...
