BASS野郎・四

Bass Yarou 4


























Yeah man, that subwoofer has a well-fitted resonance-box... Here we have another cd in the Bass Yarou series, which, as you might have figured out by now, is known for the interesting covers. Funny thing about this one is that the original cover to the booklet is actually a yellow one:


























The cartoon cover is an extra one page leaflet.





































All of this nice artwork was created by Illdozer Graphuck and the tracks (23 in total) come from a variety of bass labels; Dynamix II Records (Quad Queen), Joey Boy Records (Lady Dice and Fresh Celeste), Newtown Records (Beat Oulaws, Bass Boy & Def Bass Krew) and IBP (Bass Fraternity). Not a bad compilation (although the Beat Outlaws tracks suck balls...)

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:

X-Treme Bass

File under electronic music

























That might be the easiest yes. Because it's hard to tell; is it bass?





Is it rave?





Is it breakbeat?





Is it chill-out?





Is it trip hop?





Is it acid?





Well, whatever it is, it's all produced by Robert Bartko & Ivan Kopas and released by Neurodisc in 1998. Oh yeah!

BASS野郎 - Hard Core

Tari's having fun!


























I say Tari because I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be the girl from Bass Shock's "Dungeon of Bass" cover; blond hair and same "clothes", but most of all the music on this Japanese release (in the Bass Yarou series I think) is exactly the same as on the original Neurodisc release. Peep the tracklistings:

Bass Hardcore:

 

Original Neurodisc release





















As you can see this is another cool Japanese release. I really like the way they didn't just create a totally different cover but they continued to work on the original. Prime example of why I started this blog. Since it's a cartoon the artist (unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I don't know who he is) took the opportunity to let his imagination run free and make her a little more voluptuous I see. Also she doesn't appear to be in the dungeon itself but in some type of booming car. Maybe the dungeon's speaker was blown?? Have fun Tari and enjoy the music...






















(If YOU want to listen to the music you can easily go here)

Bass Shock - Dungeon Of Bass

Into the chamber...

























Normally I was planning to use an even cooler cover to start the year, but for that originally planned post I needed a link to this cd cover, and it turned out I didn't post this cover yet, so in order for me to post the cooler cover I have to post this one first! Are you with me out there? I thought I already did post Bass Shock's  "Dungeon of Bass" (and I kinda did when I posted the Phillipine cassette release) but I didn't so here you have it; Bass Shock's "Dungeon of Bass".




 
Like all early Neurodisc releases the album is not bad at all, not bad at all. Lots of uptempo, ravy beats. All produced by Debbie Deneese & Jamie Swartz ofcourse.

 



 
Another nice art design & computer graphic by Luis Garcia for Luroga Design Miami Fl., with photography from Al Freddy and the lovely cover model is TARI!






















OK. So far this first post of 2016. I bet you can't wait for the next one where you will find out why I had to post this cover first! Soon my friends, soon...

In the meantime, don't forget to...

DJ Smurf - NonStop Booty Shake

... Over 60 minutes of all new nonstop booty shake


























This will be the last post for this year and it's a banger! DJ Smurf teams up with DJ Kizzy Rock on this one to give you 17 hardcore booty shake tracks. 

"NonStop BootyShake is a continuous mix of all new bass tracks produced by DJ Smurf. It features appearances by some of the hottest bass artists on the scene. If you don't have a Dee Jay for your bootyshake party, "NonStop BootyShake" is a must for your music collection."

NO DOUBT!




 
DJ Smurf was a man on a mission at that time: "This album is dedicated to all the blood, sweat and tears that were shed by every bass artist who helped pave the way for me I know it looks bad right now and everybody in the industry thinks bass music is dead. They couldn't be more blind. Keep ya head up and let's get this money!". Check out the intro "I got somethin' to say" for more details:


 


See? Man this whole album is dope! I had bought the vinyl first but that one only has 12 tracks and doesn't have one of my favorite tracks on it; DJ Smurf's "I don't wanna go on" remix!


 




















 
So I was left with no other choice than to go and hunt for the cd release... which was not easy... 

Another crazy hardcore joint:


 


Fuck, the whole album is hardcore. Luke, Ying Yang Twins, Intoxicated, Freak Nasty & more are all here. Just listen to the whole thing, that will be easier!





























C U Next Year!

DJ Droppin' - Bass Abuse

17 Classic bass tracks


























Not yet but I'm sure they will be one day!  DJ Droppin joins Bassotronics in closing the year 2015  with a low bass bomb. Car audio bass in its purest form! I'll be honest, my car system (1 15" subwoofer) can't really handle this kind of lows. I don't know how many 15's you need exactly but this is serious bass my friends!

The title track:
 




Here's the official promo talk:

Officially released! DJ Droppin' is back with another slammin' collection of Vicious Boom and Dangerous Low Frequencies guaranteed to take your system to its limits and beyond. This composition features a deadly mix of Crunk/Street Style, Techno Bass, Electro Funk, and Instrumental Quad.
Key Tracks: Bass Abuse, Bassin' 4 Austin, Miami Bass Check, Tribal Quad
*Bassheads, Track 10, "Bassin' 4 Austin" is in tribute to Austin Gerlach who bravely and courageously battled cancer. Sadly in 2015 Austin passed away. He was a great guy and an ambassador to Car Audio. He left a lasting impression with anyone who knew him. God Speed, Austin.




You can buy this album from your favorite digital dealer; Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Junodownload, I don't know, you choose one. As long as you BUY!

Yeah this sh$t goes deep!
 




What I also like about this release is the cover. It's great in it's simplicity. It has this 80's Tron vibe... really cool.





















BOOM IT UP!



Bassotronics - Electro Bass In Your Face

Bassotronics in the mix!!


























Well he's not actually "cutting & scratching" but this is a continuous mix featuring 15 Bassotronics bass bombs! What a way to end the year! When you hear the name Bassotronics you probably think of car audio bass ("Bass, I love you" comes to mind) but this guy produced some serious electro bangers as well! Check out "Electro bass computers"




Or "Bass is enough"




Who let the dogs out!!??  You can buy this album from any site that sells digital music; iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, whichever you prefer, as long as you GET IT!

My favorite tracks are "Digital streets"
 


 

and the '80s freestyle sounding "Lost"!



 

Can't wait to hear what Bassotronics will be releasing in  2016!

Oh yeah, if your in the US, you can check out the full album on YouTube:

Teckno Master DL - Break The Bass

No one drops harder

























I don't know if that is true but at least Teckno Master DL finally made an album for 12" woofers! As you might remember the previous cd "Droppin' Bass" was made for 12" wolfers only, so it's nice to know we can now finally enjoy their music on our woofers also!


 

 
Although "their" is now "his". The first album was produced by Danny D & D.J. Laz. This one's produced by Danny D only...

Check out this cool Kraftwerk cover!


 


Not a bad album, not a bad album... If you want to have an idea what the rest sound like listen to this 7:33 minutes long mega mix!
