Exit Records

2012

Stray is J Fogel aka Timbre and this is from his recent solo release under this moniker on the UK drum n bass label Exit records. I can definitely picture strippers bouncing to this.

Critical Music

2013

A bit more straight ahead DnB from this Brighton born producer who used to go by Mad Rabbit.

Black Acre

2013

This Romare dude really has his own sound. Faster than most DnB, more like American Footwork in a lot of ways. I’ve had this track on my laptop since last year but could never quite figure out what to do with it.

Houndstooth

2013

I put 3 tracks on this mix from the recently released Special Request album SOUL MUSIC. Dude (veteran DJ Paul Woolford) makes an entire album out of about 6 different drum loops, and it’s fucking DOPE.

Elektra

2002

A bootleg trap remix from a group of brothers from Jersey collectively known as R4. Came out in late 2012. Chops Missy up nicely and makes for a useful transition into Hip Hop tempos.

Slip-N-Slide / Atlantic

1998

Another trap remix, this time from a Los Angeles duo. I always had a soft spot for Trick Daddy back when this shit dropped.

Houndstooth

2013

Used the Trick Daddy acapella to double up the tempo on the Trina verse, just to get shit moving again.

2nd Drop Records

2012

A consistent boundary pusher in the world of Bass music. Pedestrian aka Jack Sibley, has released joints on 2nd Drop, Metalheadz, and Brownswood among others. This track is weird and moody and loops up some African percussion to about 160bpm. 

Ninja Tune

2013

This Carolina-born Brooklyn-based kid really kinda blew up in 2013. His album VAPOR CITY is definitely worth checking out. A healthy mixture of Bassy weirdness with all sorts of shit thrown in.

Exit

2013

Some real head nodding’ shit. Music sites will list this as Drum n Bass but it might as well just be Hip Hop to me. Blurred lines for real.

Def Jam

2011

This track has crazy warbly swimming bass. For the chorus I edited in an instrumental break from Diplo & DJ Fresh’s “Earthquake”, which itself is like a trap re-work of Timbaland’s “Dirt Off Ya Shoulders”. Why the fuck not.

Cyclon

2013

Came out in July on UK label Cylon Recordings. Some more DnB that is pretty indistinguishable from some of the more ghetto trap shit stateside.

Horizons Music

2013

This cat is from Brasil. I gather he is known for neurofunk and/or techfunk, though quite frankly I can’t always tell the difference from DnB. It all just blends in to one subwoofer soup, don’t it. Lovely.

Critical Music

2014

Enei is Russian DnB producer Aleksei Egorchenkov. From St Petersburg to be exact. He’s been making DnB and dubstep since about 2007.

Def Jam

2011

This is just the Nicki verse from Big Sean’s track. Seemed like the right time and place, and she’s just the right woman for a mix full of ass n titties music. That’s just science.

Club Chai affiliates

2016

Swisher are two Melbourne Australia brothers Phillip and Petera Temerau. Not much to this track other than a bunch of trappy sound FX but the mix needed a breather so BOOM there it is.

Cosmic Bridge

2011

Om Unit is London DJ Jim Coles, who used to be a Hip Hop DJ named 2Tall before he started releasing bass records under the name Phillip D Kick. Some of his cuts are pretty reggaefied but this shit is just some straight up dark DNB.

Planet Mu

2012

A catchy loop of Cutty Ranks over a chopped DnB track. Dream Continuum is simply Machinedrum & Om Unit making a record together. Good shit.

Epic / Sony

1991

One of my all time favorite Shabba tracks given a respectable remix to bring it in to the Bass world nice n easy.

Wakan Tanka Records

2014

More on the jungle side of things. Came out in 2011 and has been collecting dust on a hard drive ever since.

Houndstooth

2013

Yes I can’t get enough of this record. I’m not sure what kind of drugs kids into this shit are listening to, but I hope they’re damn good.

Warner Bros.

2011

I’ve always been sucker for these kind of minimal beats. Seemed like the perfect theme song to a wishful strip club mix.

Cash Money

2011

A song that is basically made for a mix like this. “I got cheese like a nacho. If you don’t got no ass, bitch wear a poncho”. Pure poetry. Cash Money records still alive after all these years. Who knew?

Slip-N-Slide

2011

A simple question Queens Blvd strippers may or may not like to ask you.

Juke Trax / Ghettoteknitianz

2010

DJ Zap is a Detroit Booty Bass veteran from way back. This is just a short loop I like cuz it sounds like he’s saying “Turtle turtle turtle”. Go figure.

Jefferson Ave

2001

Bring the tempo down slightly and change the drum pattern and this would simply be deep house. I figured no mix of this nature should be devoid of DJ Assault.

Columbia

2013

This song really doesn’t belong on this mix, but the tempo was right and it’s been stuck in my head for a week, now so WTF why not.
