MATT BASS 'VOID OF LIGHT' 12"
Debut release from Matt Bass - dark-tinted Jungle / hardcore producer who's popped up last couple years!
"Old catalog number - but brand new release! We had to redo the whole process, from pre-master to re-cut to re-do the testpresses. But here it is finally! Sounding juicy and heavy! If you like Darkcore, you don´t want to miss this!
Void Of Light, the debut EP by Matt Bass has been a long time coming, but it´s here: 4 slices of pitch-black Darkcore business, super authentic to the golden 92-94 era.
So..Dark! lulls you into an uplifting angelic mood, think Lucky Spin/ Deejay from that era with warm pads and guru chants. Suddenly we´re switching into another program: A heavy drop hits you unexpectedly, pitched-up and -down ragga chants slap you in the face and before you can comprehend what happened here Matt Bass ramps up the unease with a superdark drop that´s dripping of darkness. It´s...so...dark!
Can't Take It No More has something about it, we fell in love straight away. It starts with bells, and is overall super low-fi with fat subs, pitched-up HipHop samples, and that distinctive 'I Can't Take It No More' sample. The pads sound as if they were lifted straight off a reel, a crusty production that is perfect in its own right. This can be placed straight between your 92/93 selection and no one would guess it's a new production!" ~ Parallax
