New York City's own bass heavy club music champions, the Trouble and Bass crew, deliver the goods on this latest installment of the Scion CD Sampler series. A1. Drop the Lime- We Are the Future: T&B's head honcho sets off the collection of tracks with a auditory calvary charge. An arpeggiated synth melody and Braveheart-style rallying oratory drive this monster of a track over heavy synth bass permutations. Straight down to business. 133BPM. A2. AC Slater- Calm Down: With a handful of nods to the almighty drum and bass genre, AC Slater delivers a seriously heavy exercise in Dubstep pugilism. Leaving the downbeat open on most measures (which AC does to great effect in this piece) is highly recommended to seekers of the funk. 139/69.5BPM. A3. Mikix the Cat- Handz Up: High-energy track with a very modern take on early techno drum and synth programming. Tastefully pitched and modified vocal samples, party atmosphere, and offbeat shouts give this song a party break feeling that lacks nothing in the momentum department. 131BPM. B1. Drop the Lime- Howling: Attention all fans of 8-bit jump offs and Chiptunes! Mr. Lime serves up a heavy blend of retro video game sounds and his own wild bassline antics on this offering. A very dynamic track with great builds and drops throughout. If you hate video game sounds, the hi-hat part alone is worth the price of admission. 129BPM. B2. Udachi- Jellyroll: Udachi is becoming a force to be reckoned with. This track is one example. It's one of his more half-time, Dub-steppy outings without question, but one gets the feeling Udachi would probably kill a track in any heavy synth bass sub-genre. The track is rife with "oh snap!" moments on the bass synth trickery alone, but you need look no further than the first 45 seconds of the track to know... this guy actually listens to and understands original Dub music. 127BPM. B3. Little Jinder- Youth Blood: Right from the get go, this joint is pure disco boogie. Sweet 80s synths abound. Possibly the most traditionally "pop" structured track on this sampler, Youth Blood features a well reverbed female vocal about being young, hot, and full of life.119BPM.
