Tracklisting a M.A.P - It Ain't Right b M.A.P - Jimmy Kendricks Taking ground across the clubs and sound systems of the UK, bass-duo Mak & Pasteman have garnered serious respect throughout club land. Releasing across labels including Shifting Peaks, Senseless Records & Sounds of Sumo, as well as extensive radio-play from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Redlight, B traits, Toddla Tand Rob Da Bank, they have laid down the foundations for theirown future sound. Alongside their Juno chart-topping 2012 EP Do The Same, it’s their deft edits and reworks of artists such as Larry Heard andTyga that sets their reputations apart…which leads nicely onto the next in their series of bootlegs. Reworking man of the moment Kendrick Lamar, and the late great Whitney Houston under their M.A.P Alias, these edits are enough to send any dancefloor into a frenzy. The Kendrick Lamar edit touches on the more techno-driven side of the UK scene, whilst the Whitney Houston gives a nod to the UK garage scene circa 2000 with low slung bass stabs and rolling percussion. The turn of the new year saw them step up their game from theirsolo projects & focus on collaborative ones, led by summer bookings at this year’s Ibiza Rocks, Glade and Hideout festivals. Possessing accolades like these, it is clear to see why they are tastemaker favorites in the whole house-bass continuum that surrounds the UK dance scene. With Summer on the way, get used to hearing the name Mak & Pasteman because you can be sure you’ll be hearing a whole lot more very soon!
