Bassotronics - Piano Jams For Bass Lovers

A compilation of Bassotronics bass tracks with piano























 

I told you I had 2 more cd's I wanted to advertise before the year finishes. "Basshead Radio" was one of them, this is the other one. A compilation of Bassotronics piano jams. I'll be honest I'm not the biggest fan of slow jams, I prefer my beats more uptempo, but THE COVER! I LOVE IT!! I can just imagine going to a concert with Bassotronics  sitting on stage behind his basspiano performing "Bass, I love you"! Wouldn't that be awesome??





I also really like this track! Very beautiful!




 
Here's a preview of all 12 tracks on this release. I don't think it's for sale online, you'll have to contact Bassotronics himself if you want to buy one. You can do that HERE via his facebook.

World Bass Federation - Get Ready To Rumble!

X-treme 12 voltage
























 

Who will be battling in the WBF:

BOMBER VF1















vs

BAZOOK VR3















They will be battling during 15 tracks produced by the World Bass Federation, D-Love, D-Bass and last but not least DJ Billy E! Never heard of the first 3 and I wouldn't be surprised if they are just aliases (for Billy E maybe?).

I predict one of the fighters will go down in either round  3 during the DJ Billy E produced Mr-Mixx-type-a-beat track "Ground loop": 




 
In round 7 during the bass bomb "Axle Grind":




 
Or they will make it to the last round and the battle will be decided during "Take me up":





























If you want to organize your own WBF battle hit "play all" and listen to the full album...

Bassotronics - Basshead Radio

Your number 1 radio station for bass music


























There are 2 more new cd's I really want to advertise before the year finishes and this is one of them! The latest Bassmekanik.com release from Bassotronics! What I really like about Bassotronics' releases is that he always comes up with a concept for the albums. He gave us Arabian flavors (with Bass Mekanik), hit us with bass-step, trapped the police, scared the shit out of us and much more! This time around we get to believe we're listening to "Basshead Radio", a radiostation where you get to call in and request bass tracks. A perfect opportunity for Bassotronics to showcase his production skills, take a listen (sorry, short previews only):

Funky (Track 3: I got the funk)





Tekno (Track 5: Speed drive)





Club (Track 11: Heaven is jammin')





And there's many more styles on this cd... even the sequel to that Bassotronics MEGA CLASSIC "Bass, I love you", called "Bass, I love you too!"





I think you get the picture: Bassotronics can handle any style.
My advice: head over to iTunes, Amazon or any other download site and GET IT IN YOUR RIDE! 




















 
Also don't forget to check out bassmekanik.bandcamp.com now and then for the latest in bass...

Official U.S.A.C. Bass

14

























"Here are 14 tried and true prime cuts of bass compiled by the Dominator and brought to you by the kind cooperation of U.S.A.C. and the leading record labels of the bass world." 


Yes this is another U.S.A.C. bass cd released by Pandisc. Matter of fact I should have said this in my previous post because this is actually the first Pandisc "U.S.A.C. Bass" cd, released before "SPL Shootout". "The leading record labels of the bass world" seem to be Pandisc, Hip Rock and Neurodisc:














 I'm sure all these tracks can be found on YouTube, otherwise...





















Unlike the shootout cd, this one has no test section and the design is done by Christina Dilucia.

"Thanx to Ralph Randall (USAC), Bo at Pandisc, Derrick at Hip Rock, Tom, John, Jamie and Debbie at Neurodisc, and all the artists who helped make this possible. Also many thanks to the 12 volt industry and bass fans everywhere for keeping the boom alive."

Oh don't worry about it, it has been a pleasure...

USAC Bass - "SPL Shootout"

Good luck to all the SPL Outlaws!


























An SPL shootout between 3 labels: Pandisc, IBP and Hip Rock, organized by the U.S.A.C.! The cd itself was released by Pandisc and compiled and mastered by The Bass Mekanik. Design and Layout by Gerard Delaney & Lauren Martinez of Brand-X-Design.


























Here's the full tracklist:

Bassmaniac & D.J. Salva 808 - The Electro Bass Invasion

Limited CD edition!


























Check out the latest "City Beat Records" release. 11 Old school sounding electro/electro-bass/electro-funk tracks from D.J. Salva 808 & Bassmaniac. I personally love this cd and it hasn't left my player for 2 weeks now. If you're the type of person who is into anything electro, this album is for you... 

Here's the official demo video for the album on YouTube:
 





Trust me, the video doesn't even give the right impression because I found the cd even better then I thought it would be. This DJ mix by Andyman does a better job:






I you want to buy a copy don't hesitate to get in touch with City Beat Records...



















Oh yeah, as you might have heard, it's not just 11 tracks, there's also a special bonus track from the Flash Force Crew (E-Rocker & DJ Richie Rich) to make it 12! Worth the €'s, trust me...

The Bass Project - Trans-Euro Bass Vol. 01

Tracks for the connoisseur


























DANCE - TECHNO - HOUSE - ACID - TRANCE

That's the type of music you can hear on this cd. You know why? I'll tell you why; because it's produced by "One Rascal" Albert Cabrera! I'm not sure about "techno", "acid" & "trance", but you do get house, dance & breaks from the man; some even have a Todd Terry feel imo...






Can't say I've been following Albert Cabrera's career but I am a big fan of his work as part of The Latin Rascals! Remember "Lisa's coming"?? Beats mayhem!!





Really cool that he did a CD for Pandisc! Funny though that track 9 and 12 are both named "Get on down"... he probably couldn't get enough of the beat (and later on you will find out there is even a part 3).







And we should not forget about the artwork ofcourse. Recognize the speaker? Ofcourse  you do; it's the speaker Deryck Ragoonanan from ImagExpress always uses for his covers! So why shouldn't he use it for this one?



























You know who also likes this CD a lot? Bassotronics! He likes this album so much, he took some of the tracks, remixed them and made it into a Vol. 02. Take a look and listen:



























Let it go!


Cut the midrange


Set you free


Get movin


The pulse 2


Get on down 3


Oh yeah, I almost forgot! The Bass Project album was also released on gatefold 2 LP. Unfortunately without artwork but cool none the less because the only other Miami bass gatefold sleeve I know of is another Pandisc release: Clay D's "Out the can"...

Bass MTX

MTX - Serious about sound


























Yet another Pandisc compilation, this time manufactured for MTX, the car audio company. Nothing new here, Bass Mekanik, Bass Automator, Boomtube, Beat Dominator, Bass Cube and Bass Tech DXJ. Ofcourse the music is always good but what I like most about this cd is the artwork; the cd is presented in a Multi-Image(tm) CD Case from Gelardi Design. You know, the type that changes image depending on the angle you look at it. I tried to make some pictures to show you. The text is supposed to change from "BASS" to "MTX", and the "MTX" on top changes in size...








































Really great how they used to put effort in packaging during the pre-MP3 days...












































And don't forget:

Bass In Your Face Vol. 1

Licensed from CHEETAH Records

























All but 1 then I would think. Was this released on Cheetah?





Don't think so. Good CD though. DJ Magic Mike, Vicious Base, T-Isaam, MC Madness, all there. Take a listen. Art direction is done by Kazeo. The front illustration and logo are designed by KAZZ.

And Then There Was Bass

Dis bass game real!

























This is the Japanese version of the Tony Mercedes Records release with the same title. All tracks are exactly the same but the graphics are nicer than the original's.


























Don't agree? Let's compare the backcover:

Japanese 





















Original

























And? 

As far as the music is concerned the "Bass Intro" is my favorite track. I wish the whole cd was in that style because I've kinda had it with  "booty bass" and such.  I definitely never wanna hear "My Baby Daddy" anymore for the rest of my life, and "U Like PiƱa Colada" is also a joke. Check 'em out on YouTube if necessary, because I'm not posting them shits overhere!
