A collection of best selling Night Bass tracks from 2016 alongside hand picked favorites from the label team.
We celebrated AC Slater's birthday last month at Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles with TQD, AC Slater, Wax Motif, and Petey Clicks. The vibes were abundant and we toasted big to the Night Bass boss. Live recordings of the sets from this night are available here!
San Francisco’s 219 Boys have been featured on “This is Night Bass” and now they’ve landed their first EP on Night Bass. “Unmade” is a collection of various influences artfully melded into their own unique sound. The EP kicks off with “FYOF” a dark G-House bouncer with a cheeky sample. “Unmake” takes it further into heavier and darker territory while “Risk” leans into a more tech house sound. There is definitely something here for everyone from the 219 Boys.
The up and coming Russian duo Volac returns to Night Bass! Their 2nd EP for the label takes the energy up a notch, leaning towards a more bubbly housey feel. “Do Ya Thing” kicks off the EP with a groovy but banging vibe sure to get things moving. “Open Your Mind” heads a more techy direction while still maintaining their signature groove and energy. The boys merge multiple influences into the high energy “Listen” featuring vocals from Abrax Phaeton.
One of our favorites, London’s bass house power-duo Jack Beats, returns to Night Bass to drop part 1 of their Body Work series of EPs. “Body Work” kicks off the release in full power Jack Beats fashion with a strong bassline and hyped up vocals over a driving minimal bed of drums and percussion. Intense chords introduce the 2nd track “Mercury” which builds into a groovy bass-driven shuffler guaranteed to get the dance floor moving. This is Jack Beats at the top of their game.
We couldn’t be more excited than to have a release from bass music legend Herve. This EP radiates energy from the glory days of “fidget house” but with totally modern production. The title track “Real” features fist pumping vocals from Contessa Stuto, sliding from a crazy hoover breakdown into the most rolling bass line. “That’s the Way I Feel” brings a twisted but happy vibe, jackin' groove and bouncy bass line.
Night Bass label boss AC Slater and bass music prodigy Taiki Nulight team up for their 1st collaborative release since 2013's “Doing It”. This brand new peak time two-tracker varies from the dark bass-heavy “My Peoples” to the shuffling bouncy bass of the b-side “Psycho”. USA meets UK once again with great results for the dance floor.
Night Bass resident toker Petey Clicks drops off “Home”, his fourth EP for the label. The title track is a unstoppable, head-banging rapid-fire shuffler built for peak time. “Here 2 Kill” switches gears, evoking the sounds of yesterday over a smooth and bubbly garage groove.
As half of the label Food Music, Kry Wolf (along with Shadow Child) have ushered in some of the most forward thinking house music and more in recent years. We’ve finally managed to get an EP from the boys, and it fully delivers. The Temper EP kicks off with it’s title track, a step into heavier territory for Kry Wolf, littered with big crisp breaks and haunting bass. “Flashlight” is straight up high-energy house vibes with a thick rolling bassline. Rounding out the EP is the ethereal, breakbeat driven “Wavvves”.
In June 2015 we launched the Night Bass label, and that was the last time bass house pioneer Chris Lorenzo graced our catalog with his untouchable production. The badman from Birmingham finally returns to Night Bass with two relentless, high-energy heaters. “Foot & Mouth” conjures uncontrollable desires to reload with it’s neck snapping bass, and shells continue to fly with the bass-face inducing “Nightmares”.
On our 4th installment of This is Night Bass we’ve wrangled a nice mix of new and familiar names to the label, with sounds ranging from heaviest UKG to the grooviest house. We were stoked to land an epic tune from our globe-trotting Aussie friends Yolanda Be Cool and fellow Aussie bass-maker Wongo. On top of that we’ve got UK legends Champion and DJ Q each gracing our compilation with serious garage heaters. Night Bass resident badman Sinden drops some bassy darkness, while label newcomers Born Dirty, Dillion Nathaniel and Udachi deliver the quality goods, and Bijou returns with his first solo tune on Night Bass. There’s definitely something for everyone here!
Prolific Welsh producer Jay Robinson is back with his 3rd EP for Night Bass. The “Sixteen” EP is a 4 tracker packed with dark mangled bass lines and his signature atmospherics. Jay scales the heaviness back from his last Night Bass release in favor of more moody and groove driven tracks - but don’t get it twisted, there’s no shortage of bass here. All 4 songs are ripe for peak time plays in a multitude of settings. Another smash for Night Bass veteran Jay Robinson.
Hailing from Moscow, the Phlegmatic Dogs bless us with a fresh dose of their unique blend of bass, garage and house music. The “Weegle” EP is their 1st release on Night Bass and it’s a hefty one. The title track sets it off from jump with commanding samples and driving basslines. “Next level”, well, takes it to the next level with the craziest bass sounds we’ve heard in awhile. The release is rounded off by the deep and heavy sounds of “High Volume”, a total neck snapper!
