Active since the late 80s, Klein has tirelessly shaped his distinct vision of Electro, both as a solo artist and through storied collaborations with icons like Dynamix II, Keith Tenniswood (Radioactiveman), and Si Brown (Dexorcist). As a DJ, remixer, live act, and the driving force behind the seminal Battle Trax label, his influence is woven into the fabric of the genre.\n\nWith essential releases on labels including DMX Krew’s Breakin’ Records, Andrea Parker’s Touchin’ Bass, and Billy Nasty’s Elektrix, the Bass Junkie sound seamlessly bridges the old-school beats of Electro’s origins with a potent, borderline-industrial edge. As noted by Andy Barton of Bass Agenda: “From funky to ferocious, Bass Junkie’s discography is a must-have for anyone claiming passion for the genre – influential, individual, and infectious with every beat.”\n\nNow, as Mental Note, Klein continues his exploration of electronic psychedelia. The new EP, “Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately),” is a four-track expedition through the Electro cosmos:\n\n“Brainwash” immerses the listener in swirling, hypnotic synths.\n“They're Not Blue, They’re Purple” delivers a masterclass in crunchy, textured drums.\n“Primordial Soup” showcases frantic, intricate programming.\n“Kluster Funk” offers a moment of deep, sonic relief and groove.\n\nEach track reinforces Mental Note’s signature: a journey that is cerebral, raw, and irresistibly rhythmic.\n\n\nAbout Bass Junkie\/Mental Note:\nPhil Klein, operating primarily under the alias Bass Junkie, is a cornerstone of the UK Electro scene. For over three decades, his work has defined and evolved the sound, earning him a revered status among peers and purists. His Mental Note project is a focused outlet for a deeper, more experimental strand of his production genius, further solidifying his legacy as an electronic music innovator. \ncredits\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Static \/ Automatic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56575974211963,"sku":"NSA014","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/7317\/4665\/files\/IMG_0025.jpg?v=1794504949","url":"https:\/\/planetwax.net\/products\/nsa014","provider":"Planet Wax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
