Bassbin's latest releases
|
|
Dublin's premiere crew have releases four and five to follow the Beta 2/Zero Tolerance "Make U See / Cat Fight" (BB03) in July. Oroducers lined up to release material for us include Bassbin veteran Naphta and leftfield drum-freak, Polska. As Naphya at the label says..."the agenda is to put our material that reflects the wide diversities of possibility that are all too rarely explored in the music these days. Saying that, we still want to hear people mix our tunes, and to see people dance to them, so we don't intend to be oblique simply for the sake of it."
