Bleeps, Breaks + Bass
100% killer survey of early rave trax by 4Hero, Unique 3, Biosphere, Ubik, KLF vs Moody Boys, and many more to relieve your wants-list
A necessary collaboration between expert Swiss rave archivist Olivier Ducret with YouTube channel Bunkerheadz - plus writer Matt Aniss (Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Birth of British Bass Music), and OG rave sleeve illustrator Trevor Jackson - this set digs deep into the TAZ of early ‘90s UK rave music, when producers were playing funky Tetris with the bleeps, breaks and bass building blocks of computerised dance music. Encompassing the sound’s nether regions and rare gems, it’s a heavy education in the sort of syncopated swerve that begat the rave continuum of hardcore / jungle / UKG / grime / dubstep / UKF, all that good stuff that we’ve all fetishised for decades now, and whose original, hard-to-find gems have been pooling in the reservoirs of YouTube channels such as Bunkerhedz, while the OG 12”s have escalated in price on the 2nd hand market.
The set identifies the sort of stuff that spurred a generation to physically move in a different way to their predecessors, bending examples from US hip hop and house to the needs of a new age UK wave with a gary in the gullet and trousers flapping to 5K stacks. It’s dub gone hyper, ratcheting a dance mania with electro-bass to the power of 16bits and the sort of black secret studio technology pioneered by likes of Rob Gordon, the legendary (if sorely overlooked) co-founder of Warp Records, who also re-mastered this set - which is half-speed cut for optimal pressure by Sidney Meier at Emil Berliner.
We’re talking downright badness like Ubik’s cone-troubling Miami Bass mutation ‘Bass Generation’, and 4Hero side project Tek9’s ‘clinical execution on ‘Space 91’, plus Norwegian ambient deity Biosphere chiming in with the square bass pressure of ‘Baby Satellite’, and another totally overlooked G, Tony Thorpe’s Moody Boys reducing his bandmates’ anthem ‘What Time Is Love?’ into a proper rude one, alongside the ‘Digicality’ highlight from the debut album by Bratfud’s finest, Unique 3, and Detroit-inspired tekkerz by Heychild, plus the Streest of Rage-like ‘For This II’ from Trek 1. So much to go on; just dive in an make a hole in your carpet.
