UK producer Taiki Nulight just dropped one of the best collections of bass house I’ve heard in months. After first catching my ear with releases on Night Bass, it’s his Sledge EP on Dim Mak that showcases how great his talent really is. It opens with the title track which pulls together war ready horns, wonky bass and some haunting tones. ‘Fire Power’ takes the dark sound even further with abusive drops and oddly sexual undertones. By the time you hit ‘Spray’ you’re surrounded by walls of bass that you couldn’t escape if you tried. ‘One More’ leverages an enticing vocal samples to draw you in while ominous melodies are murdered by devastating low end making it a clear standout. Closing things out comes ‘Void,’ a glitchy number that sounds something like inter-dimensional travel. The 5 tracks combine inventive sound design with a plethora of bass to create one of best bass house offerings of 2016. Look out for Taiki Nulight, this guy’s up next.
