In honor of the track recently becoming available again for streaming on SoundCloud, Basenji’s ‘Heirloom’ lends tribute to the earliest infancies of future bass, in many ways depicting the creative vigor that surrounded the genre during its primary zenith.
An enigmatic percussion ensemble and softly whirring riser create the sensation of falling during the protracted introduction of the track before suddenly bounding into a spectacular menagerie of floral synths and decisive beat breaks that transport the listener to a tropical soundscape of pure bliss.
Reminisce with ‘Heirloom’ by Basenji, originally released as a part of future classic’s Teen Idols Compilation below!
