So as you might have read in THIS post, I was still looking for the IBP releases 3 and 5 to complete my collection. Now to be honest, what I didn't realize for all these years is that Dexter Wright's release "Boomtown city limits" actually IS the 3rd release. That's because on the side it is baldly written IBP-0009, but when you look at the barcode it says "30003"! Take a look:
Haha; right in front of me for years... now I wonder if there is a release with IBP-0003 on the side... If you have it, please let me know ;-)
This is another Ex-It Records release. Must have come out right before "D.B. Heaven", being this is a 45 Magnum, euhm I mean, being this is Ex-It 1018 and D.B. Heaven was Ex-It 1019.
The idea is the same though; "Great Trax's to create your own rap and rap along"...
For a few years now, me, and other collectors have been wanting to find out which are the unknown IBP releases 3, 5 and 10.
So finally, thanks to Discogs and a friendly seller from Sweden, I finally got my hands on IBP-0010. Unfortunately for "all of us", IBP-0010 is exactly the same as IBP-0011, which is "The best of I.B.P."... Only difference is the barcode and the cd color. Check the pics; # 10 on top, # 11 at bottom...
Still I'm very pleased with this find. Now it's just # 3 and # 5 to go. If you are reading this and you have one of those 2, please hit me up will ya?
Here we have a cd with "rap along" kinda beats. This could be like the "Beats, breaks & scratches" of bass. A lot of samples here. How many do YOU recognize?
Like? This album was released on Ex-It Records. You can find the other tracks on my YouTube channel right HERE.
Some time ago I bought this Neurodisc release in an effort to complete my collection but when it arrived I was a little disappointed. OK, "normal" people would not be because it arrived in great condition and all but upon closer look I realised it was a reprint, from the time Neurodisc was distributed by Priority Records. So you gotta look for the CD-31003 (3rd album release on the label) and not the P2-50614 (clearly a Priority Records number).
I thought I'd let you know, so you don't get fooled when you're buying online...
The Priority cover is a single paper while the original one is double:
This is a great radio show I would like to focus your attention on! Once a month none other than DJ Magic Mike opens his vaults to give us an exclusive megamix of Miami bass. What is even better is that even if you happen to miss the live show, the mixes can still be listened to on the rbmaradio page. If I was you I would go and take a look because they are HOT and booming! We are talking about the master at work here...
That's how I always think of this kind of bass. Now I don't mean this in a negative way, because I play this style A LOT myself, especially when in my car. But there is something about it, I don't know, you can play the songs a hundred times and it's like you can just keep playing them. Not because they are SO great, but because you also don't really get tired of them, just like elevator music, but with a lot of bass added! It just keeps playing while your mind is busy with other things...
I know I already posted this cover somewhere in 2012, but the reason I'm posting it again is the following; so while going through my files I found the digital version of this release. And the folder included a pdf file with printable covers from the old PayPlay.FM site! I thought this could be interesting to share with you, my loyal followers...
Check it out:
Unfortunately they don't supply covers anymore on their website, but if you're interested in these ones, you can GET THEM HERE.
Try and make the cover uncensored! Doesn't look to hard imo, but I have to hand it to Hajime Kobayashi (you know, the Bad News Records art director and designer); he really got creative on this one.
So what we have here is the first volume in the Bass Yarou 'Erotica' series. Actually what we hear on this disc is the complete Bass Erotica release "Erotic bass delight", originally released on Neurodisc records...
and 3 added tracks with the kind of vocals Bass Yarou 'Erotica' would become known for. There are no extra vocals on the Bass Erotica tracks so I will only post the 3 added tracks. Enjoy!
Now it is time to meet the lovely ladies with the awesome vocal capabilities! I'm sure they made it very far in the, ...uhm, ..."business"?
This is what you get; another outstanding production by the one and only Bass Mekanik! Yes, it's jazz, but the Mekanik made sure there is enough boom dropped in the mix for your speakers... Yes, it's jazz, but you still hear that sound only the Mekanik can provide. The songs never get repetitive and the music just keeps bringing new elements... You know what, just check it out yourself, you won't be disappointed...
