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...
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"...
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...
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.
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 Piña Colada" is also a joke. Check 'em out on YouTube if necessary, because I'm not posting them shits overhere!
This is a StreetBeat Records release "Made in the U.S.A. exclusively for FUJITSU TEN LIMITED". A demonstration CD for their "Eclipse" line of car audio which was directed to the American market. They still have a website for "Eclipse" but they don't seem to sell any booming items anymore... The CD itself is not bad at all ofcourse, how could it be, all tracks are taken from Pandisc and Streetbeat releases, but there's nothing new under the sun... see?
I only uploaded the 2 Bass Trip tracks to YouTube because all the other ones were already there.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Terra firma is a Latin phrase meaning "solid earth" (from terra, meaning "earth", and firma, meaning "solid"). The phrase refers to the dry land mass on the earth's surface and is used to differentiate from the sea or air.
I have no idea what that has to do with this cd, thought I'd just let you know. So I bought this cd because it's one of the last remaining Joey Boy Records releases in my collection. When I started listening I was like; "Fuck, waste of money"...
But then luckily later on the music became better and I started wondering if these are the same people who are behind a lot of the Neurodisc releases. This track could easily be on, let's just say, a Bass Hit CD. Take a listen:
Dope cd right here! I think this is the last release in the Bass Patrol! series but they closed with a bang; 21 minus 1 songs produced by none other than Claudio "Debonaire" Barrella! Don't know why they added 1 none-Debonaire produced track... not that I'm complaining because it's actually a good track:
And now for the Debonaire tracks, exclusive for this release I think! We start off with a bass bomb!
A good amount of booty bass:
And what's also interesting is that there's a bunch of tracks that were previously released by Debonaire on IBP records but the names have been changed (probably to protect the innocent...) Recognize this one? "Subsonic device" by "King Of Loud":
Exactly, that's "Son of Circuit Breaker" from the IBP release "Warning: Shock Hazard" by Circuit Breaker. Here's another one from that cd, originally called "Electricityyy", now renamed "Viagra Bass - Odyssey drop"...
Can you guess this one??? (yeah it's a hard one...)
Well not really "Horror" as is music from horror movies, like they put on Bass Sonic Vol. 05, but as in "Horror"-ble music like they put on Bass Sonic Vol. 01. Then again it COULD have been "Horror" because on this Vol. 02 they put music from movie soundtracks. If you're interested in rare versions of film themes this might be something for you, if you're not then I suggest you just "fuggetaboutit"... Batman anybody?
Shaft then?
OK, this one is not THAT bad. "Eye of the tiger" from the Rocky soundtrack. Sounds a little like an early 90's UK rave jam (a little I said)...
Which movie is this from?? I have no idea...
Emma Katoh did her thing on the design again...
but I don't know if I should risk buying Vol. 03, "Midnight adult mega bass!", hmmmm...
...again. I already posted Dance Dragon Bass Vol. 2 before (I also posted Vol.1 as a matter of fact but that one was not mixed by DJ Magic Mike) and as you can see that was Special Issue "HARD" while this one is "SOFT"... "What is that all about?" you ask... Well, it is true that on Vol. 2 we got some hard bass tracks like "Get some"
and "Hit it" (Just to name 2)
but on this release, Vol.3, it's all R&Bass and, yes, wait for it; "soft" stuff ^^
See?
See? Good thing there is still the Magic Mike "cut" (pun intended) to give the people what they want...
Check this out; so inside the booklet they have all the lyrics printed but look at the Magic Mike track! "No lyric. Just noise, scratch, talking..." Noise? NOISE? C'mon son, I don't hear any noise! Maybe their speaker were rattling...
Still I really like these Japanese releases. Always nice artwork. The Dance Dragon Logo by the way was designed by Hibiki Tokiwa for Mars Art Lab.
