First up is Dankles *Isabigting*. Dankle has been steadily making a name for himself over the past couple of years, as part of Offmenut Records, for his solo production and as one half of Phatworld, alongside Tich from The Squire of Gothos. *Isabigting* is straight up mutant bassline, with his warped, glass-like bass and hip-hop vocal.
A2 – Hailing from Germany, CPTN has making people stand up and take notice with his heavy, deranged bass, with releases on Offmenut, Kitty Corner and a forthcoming EP on Kanji Kinetic’s ‘Mutant Bass Records’. ‘Spazzo Rod’ is a thunderous bass monster, with its intense, grinding, fucked-up bass.
B1 – Sheffield’s Thorpey’s known for his take on the mutant bass sound and has had strong releases on Offmenut, Mutant Bass and Bass Hound, to name a few. He usually makes 4×4 but here he drops heavy dubstep track ‘Trippin’ Balls’ with a harsh, wobbly bassline and tight, solid kicks.
B2 – Glasgow’s LZWretch debuted on the digital release of Horror Boogie 01, with a raved-up bassline remix of Kanji Kinetic’s massive ‘Citizens Unite’. ‘Far From Home’ is in a similar vein – rave stabs, breaks and a huge bassline.
