The Bass Drop – Late March

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At this time of the year we often start to feel more energetic, eat healthier and sleep less.  With the vernal equinox arriving, we see brightness blossoming all around and the fresh music releases are also in sync to delight another one of your senses.

NEIDA – SLOWING

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11085″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Slowing is the primary release on Nehza records, a, 6 track beat and bass excursion from drummer Neida.  The release is fortified with tracks that show a love for the past and present UK underground sound.  The weight of the tracks is ever present, but there is also foot stomping build and ambience running throughout the EP.  Sounds can vary from rave to breaks, to house and 4 to the floor.  You will notice that these transitions will drop seamlessly mid-track at points that get you more devoted.  DSO displays the capabilities, hitting with mind bending synths on a constant groove.  A strong introduction to Nehza records, which was founded by Rinse France’s RONI.  Listen / Buy

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Taking a 90s vocal and dropping it into dark, bassy, chunky rave is not easy for many to get right.  Prozak expertly manages to merge club floor banger with nostalgia, assuring approval from both old and new school heads.  Make Me Feel lifts off this 6 track EP where the Dublin based producer continues to drop growling basslines on ever growing bumping beats.  Listen / Buy
