White Rabbit (Lets Be Friends Remix)

I gave this 2nd spot in my Bass remixes of the 2010s when I made that list a few years ago, bettered only by Knife Party’s remix of ‘Last Time.’ Jonny (now on his own as Joyryde of course) and Oren did an insane job here of retaining the character of the original whilst refashioning it with all the vintage LBF energy they could muster. The vocal play across the track is captivating. This is pretty much as exciting as Bass music gets for me, and frankly, all 5 of my picks could’ve been LBF edits.

Du Hast (JAWNS Version)

This month I kick off my selection with something fresh off the press. Published just a few days ago, JAWNS’s version of Ramstein’s iconic classic ‘Du Hast’ is set to cause some giants mosh pits on dancefloors, no doubt. If you’re at a show and you hear this one coming up, prepare your elbows cause it will be mayhem. I’m not gonna lie, this JAWNS-going-metal trend is starting to get me.

Skrillex – Bangarang (Kredo Bootleg)

It still saddens me the extent to which Kredo was slept on, and went under the radar. This bouncy, boisterous rendition of Skrillex’s classic original is a mile and away the best take on it I’ve ever heard – and I came across quite a few! The funky movement of this track is crazily infectious pretty much from start to finish. The only point it lets up is for a sombre midsection that expertly puts the fun into perspective. It’s Kredo in full flow.

FLUX PAVILION – BASS CANNON (LUCA LUSH LIFT)

This track has been sitting on my PC for the past 6 years. It’s probably my favorite Luca Lush edit and a steady presence in my mixes and DJ sets. Do you want to blow some minds? Just play this tune and the job is done. I love how he managed to make a more evil and mental version of the Flux Pavillion classic. This is how I imagine an alien invasion would sound.

Maka & Waeck ft. Farisha – Breathe (Vexare Remix)

I think the oldest track from my selection, reflected a little in the dated feel of the production. However, that exact thing is what gives this track character – that feeling of being of its time, giving it added authenticity. It also oozes with nostalgia factor for me as one of the very first electronic remixes I fell in love with. The heart-aching vocal, the melodic twists in the drops, the processed robotic YOIs. Still raw and still sensational 12 years on.

SATiSFACTiON (YOOKiE EDiT)

YOOKiE has certainly delivered craziest tunes than this one, but I’m simply obsessed with this edit of ‘Satisfaction’. The first time I listened to it I found it just hilarious but as soon as I gave it a try on a proper sound system I had to change my mind!  Simple but super effective. This is bootleg business at its finest.

Growin’ Up In The Gutter (Kill The Noise Remix)

Another remix that holds a special place in my heart. I remember showing this to a school friend – one of the only other people in my year remotely interested in bass music – and just watching his jaw drop when the unforgiving KTN Dubstep bulldozed through. The menace of Yelawolf’s vocal matches the heaviness perfectly across drops and builds. There’s a constant feeling here of something simmering, lurking below, ready to wreak havoc – which is what Dubstep is all about.

Herobust – Dirty Work (Cherney Remix)

The original is still one of the filthiest and most cracked tunes I’ve ever heard. Period. For some reason, Cherney decided to feed its madness by making it bigger and louder. I’ve never been a dedicated dubstep guy but I’ve always been fascinated by the megalomania of this remix. Some days I love it, some days I hate it. I only wish I had a video of my first reaction when I found it by surfing SoundCloud.

Tisoki & Oliverse – Spongebob VIP

Only The Frim’s Doot Camp has ever come close to rivaling this VIP in terms of sheer, unbridled, cartoonish fun. I can’t even begin to imagine how much fun Tisoki and Oliverse must’ve had putting this one together. I genuinely had to check my phone hadn’t malfunctioned when I was listening to it for the first time, such is the uncontrollable and whacky nature of the vocal delivery. So colourful, weird, and cooky. We need more bass music that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

graves & Coolights – Say Things (Crankdat Re-Crank)

I’m pretty sure Nawtystep will agree with me when I say that Crankdat is one of the best in the bootleg business. His “Re-Crank” brand has gained a devoted following over the years thanks to a constant flow of top-notch edits. With almost two million plays on SoundCloud alone, Crankdat’s version of ‘Say Things’ needs no introduction. A timeless classic that always hits like the first time.

Today, we have the extreme pleasure of premiering Tisoki’s latest concoction; a remix for Zeds Dead and MLKA’s summer-jam ‘Alive.’ Released in June to give fans a taste of summer through its warm grooves and danceable melody, ‘Alive’ recently received a second life through an official music video, and a remix pack featuring a handful of versatile artists is now set to release on Friday.

Tisoki’s take on ‘Alive’ almost feels like an extension of the style he developed and mastered in his latest album, with rhythmic percussion and clean vocal chops giving the song a newfound energy. The heartwarming feelings induced in the original are present throughout Tisoki’s rendition, as the main melody and chorus remain intact. However, the skilled producer ups the tempo, complexity and club-appeal of the track with his signature flair, blurring the lines between house and future bass. Don’t miss Tisoki’s remix of ‘Alive’ below.

As timeless as throwbacks come, Tisoki’s 2015 refix of ‘Pony’ is riddled with nostalgic symmetry and a subtle tip of the hat to genres past. The unmistakable chorus, sampled from Ginuwine’s 90s R&B fling, gives an inescapable groove to the track, which pairs splendidly with the thick 2000s basslines from Boson’s original dubstep remix of the tune. As the track builds into the first refrain, a smoothly executed mixdown foreshadows an inevitable change of pace, as Tisoki invokes a modern dubstep twist.

Saddle up for Tisoki’s refix of ‘Pony’ below!

When I first entered the spot, Tisoki was laying down erotic synths and boosting the bass, but I really fell into it once Travis Scott’s ‘Goosebumps’ came on, shattering speakers with that groovy, R&B melody.

Next was Danger, with his confection of slushy sounds, and wild synthetic up-tempos. Danger’s energy radiated through the fortunate crowd, and proved to satiate his fan’s desire of something different.  Much of his sound seems to draw from older techno, pure synthetic sounds not pretending to be anything else. As Danger was coming to the end of his set I got the chance to go back stage and get a better view on all the action.

Terravita took the stage and contrasted their aggressive bass style with soft, soprano vocals. The duo slapped down drop after drop, working the crowd up. Bangers latched onto the barricades and showed their appreciation for Terravita’s intense style of production (even with one arm in a sling).

Still back stage, I was watching Terravita rip it up when without warning all three members of Black Tiger Sex Machine started gearing up right next to me. Watching the helmets go on was an experience in itself, but to get to watch them from so close lay down fan favorite after favorite, (‘Face Down’, label-mate Kaiwachi’s ‘Demons’, Rage Against the Machine ‘Killing In the Name’, as well as ‘Religion’, ‘Hell Motel’, and their newest collaborative release with YOOKiE ‘Lions’), was an epic experience.

As I was getting down to the last bit’s of BTSM’s sermon, Infected Mushroom brushed passed me too get a better view of the trio. Infected Mushroom’s set was an incredible way to finish off a magical night filled with dirty electro bass.Supernatural Festival 2017 was an impressive inaugural event. It was planned well and executed smoothly. The venue was provided enough space that broke up the different stages, yet allowed for plenty of exploration, and pockets of parties to enjoy. There was concern that a void had been created when Global Dance retired their annual fall event, Hallowfreaknween, last year. Those fears have been soothed with Supernatural Festival. Here’s to next year.

The Dutchman doesn’t hold back anything on this four-track release, and it’s four featured tracks are exactly the kind of full-throttle bangers that have earned him a place in our heart.

Kicking the proceedings off is ‘Samir’ with its menacing drops, head-smashing drums and glass-edged riffs, followed by ‘Bring It’ which sees Heddy team up with the upfront Manchester trio known as Virus Syndicate. Along with other tracks ‘Lezzerd’ and ‘Jok,’ Spag Heddy’s Meatball Mafia EP is everything us bass heads wanted to hear, and then some.

Get it here.
