Review – DJ Vengeance – Mythology EP
This week up for review is DJ Vengeance – Mythology EP.
I think the best way th describe this EP is refreshing. The unique sound of the main synth parts in this EP are unlike any i’ve heard before. Using samples from the movie 300, this EP will destroy you like only a Spartan would ! This is seriously heavy & comes highly recommended from Bass Command HQ !
Review – Tali – Dark days and high nights
I’ve always been a fan of good tunes with a decent female vocal. Tali is synonymous with DnB and this is a fantastic display of why she is top of her game. On Dark days and high nights, she teams up with some of the finest producers the scene has to offer. The end result is a collection of tunes that fit into any set & let you catch your breath !
Tali – Dark days and high nights is out now on Audioporn

Interview with Lam (Part 1)
Lam (formally Oroku) is one of the North East’s hardest working DJs in the UK Bass scene and hasn’t got to where he is overnight. Having successfully run a few different nights in the Middlesbrough area (Bushido/4th Bass) and working for Ten Feet Tall, we catch up with the UK funky, Garage, Dubstep, DnB & Post dub DJ to find out what he thinks about the way the scene is currently and to discuss the night he runs in Middlesbrough’s Empire every Friday night, 4th Bass.
BC : What attracted you to bass music in the first place ?
LAM : I’ve been into UK Garage since a young age and then switched to French house and Electro jackin’ (fidget). A close friend by the name of Robert Percy introduced me to a small nightclub called Plug which was the first bass night i’d been to and saw a mixture of DJs from boy-8bit to James Zebali to Ben Ufo. Ever since then I knew I wanted to be a DJ, work in music, the music business and promotions. If it wasn’t for nights like Urban Gorilla and my mates Ste Jones and Rob Percy, I probably wouldn’t be influenced by the music that I am. 7 months later i saw Rusko and Caspa back to back and I knew that was the musical direction I wanted to go in.
BC : What do you think about the current bass music scene in the North East, particularly DnB ?
LAM: We at 4th Bass wanted to push the DnB music scene, hence we put on more DnB artists than dubstep artists, such as Danny Byrd, Subfocus and Shy Fx. My views on the bass music scene inMiddlesbrough is that it is very hard. It is a drinking town and none of the clubs have Function 1 sound systems, which is the kind of system that amplifies the bass. 4th Bass now is like a family where all of the 4th bass DJs meet up and drink and listen to the music we want to listen to. When it comes to dubstep and DnB , I wanted the dubstep to be minimal and moody and my Dnb to be techy, dark and rollin’ so we have booked Cyrus (Deep Medi, Getdarker TV) for our freshers party, plus we have the Warehouse Project resident joining us in late January/early February, and we are also going to be taking bookings for before January. Because we are DJing that style there is a night starting up by Naza where they will play more jump up, brostep and drumstep music. We believe this will work in our favour because we’ve built up a 3 year crowd of people that want a bass night with music from the likes of Example, Jack Beats, Solo, Girl Unit and finishing the sets with dark rollin’ DnB. Also at the moment, I’m a big fan of S.P.Y. and Rockwell. I think the bass music scene inMiddlesbrough is only going forwards and will improve in time with nights like ours.

Review Subsonik Re-Mix EP
Subsonik re-mixes two tunes on this release, Black Sun Empire – Crash bunny and Quadrant & Cease – Rage and rapture. They both sound incredibly warm and while retaining the original integrity, Subsonik has clearly left his mark.
Subsonik Re-Mix EP is out now on Citrus Recordings
This is a great video from a few years back. Really helped me with programming/layering my drums. These guys need no introduction !

Review Chudds – Black Hole/Fiyah
Pure facemelt goodness. This latest release from Filthy Technique Records is set to destroy dancefloors across the globe. If you like your jump-up aggressive, then this is one for you. The drums pattern is simple and fairly consistent throughout, although they do sound really clean. The filth comes with the main synth part. Absolutely disgusting ! We love it !
