The peninsulas finest purveyors of everything bass-related are back in action as Iberian Records releases the third instalment of the Tax Haven EP series, where all sorts of musical refugees find exile with unpredictable results. Taking a cue from its predecessors, Tax Haven 3 unites four different artists on wax - Bass Clef, Photonz, Cauto and Niño - who present four different brands of low-end heavy music for the dance floors, as well as that space between headphones.
While the London-based Bass Clef takes us on a ride with the slow-burning monolithic 4x4 of 'Acid 8' and then through the grey areas between UK funky and straight-up garage on 'Love At Last Sight', the Portuguese vintage ravers Photonz discover life in new planets through deconstructed drum&bass beats in 'The Fire Sower' and explore the alien properties of bouncy bass lines and syncopated beats in 'Cacilheiro'. The Barcelona-native Cauto provides his groovy take on futuristic bass music on 'Lu-fuki' and 'Fukurou', where delayed vocals provide comfort and the funky vibes push us towards the dance floor. Speaking of funk, Niño delivers it in spades through his unique brand of epic neon synth-driven beats, channeling everything from hip-hop to dubstep and R&B on 'Midnighters' and 'Carrera'.
