Jay Faded hits new heights on Night Bass with his massive 6-track ‘Savage’ EP. An ominous buildup kicks off the release on title track ‘Savage’ where a fierce bassline moves alongside emotive vocals from DeBe. A strong juxtaposition comes through in between the pleasant buildup of ‘Don’t Worry’ and the filthy bassline drop that follows. Up next is the totally sweet ‘IDGAF’ whose gentle garage riffs serenade you into the darker territories of the bass-heavy ‘Welli Road’, followed by the unique programming of ‘Everything’, a structurally complex, heavy-hitting arrangement. Lastly, Jay Faded offers a ‘Savage’ dub to round off the release.
MPH - Nova EP (Out Now)
Rising star MPH hits Night Bass at full speed with his stellar 5-track ‘Nova’ EP. Effervescent padlines kick things off in ‘Famous’ with an impeccable flow from Purple Velvet Curtains over a wicked low-end bassline, fortified by breakbeat arrangements that build anticipation into the next track ‘Useless’ where simple chord progressions melt harmoniously into notes of funk and soul. MPH’s trademark of blending a nice groove with bass heavy sounds comes through in ‘Deja Vu’ with the groovy soundscape following suit in ridiculously smooth title track ‘Nova’, a deeply satisfying garage number whose blissful resonance serenades you into the final track ‘Bus’, a classic cut of UK bass and grime to round off this incredible package.
SQWAD - Hot Pursuit EP (Out Now)
SQWAD comes in HOT with their first EP release on Night Bass, their 'Hot Pursuit' EP. The title track is straight fire with an unstoppable energy followed by equally powerful collaboration with Badjokes, ‘VIP’, featuring UK reggae champion Sweetie Irie whose outstanding vocal work carries the heavyweight beat right into the bass-forward ‘Dancin Dancin’ where a bouncy, rolling bassline strongly rounds off the EP.

219 Boys - Certified EP (Out Now)
The 219 Boys bless Night Bass with their new ‘Certified’ EP. The title track is indeed a certified banger, featuring Love Rossylo’s verses over an ethereal melody and a textured bass drop. The sweet melodies continue in ‘Senses’, where a shuffling bassline is ushered in by fantasy-provoking synths and sample work, paving the way for ‘Interchange’ - an elegant interplay between beautiful harmonies and dissonant bass drops. To round things off, the boys called upon Lowdown for a ‘Certified’ remix, taking the track into bounce town with his own driving bassline, sealing the EP off on a high note.

JAXX DA FISHWORKS - 100 Percent (Out Now)
JAXX DA FISHWORKS is back at it again on Night Bass with his new single, ‘100 Percent'. He kicks it off with a fidgety bass number loaded with twisted synths and then on the b-side we have the deep and heavy sounds of ‘In My House’ where a one two punch and catchy vocal samples lead you into a driving, attitude-edged bassline, strongly rounding off the release.
Qlank - Weird Times EP (Out Now)
The unstoppable Qlank lands back on Night Bass with the biggest release he's had with us yet, his ‘Weird Times’ EP. The pensive melodies in ‘Lit’ featuring JC Stormz set a dark resonance for the release with the ominous tones following suit in ‘Dip’ where a menacing beat is joined by enough 808 to leave you shaking into the next track, ‘Naughty’, with Purple Velvet Curtains on the vocals over frantic swells of UKG bass. Next up we got ‘Drunk’, a belligerent bass number with a hefty breakdown that cascades into the alarm-sounding buildup of breakbeat driven ‘The One’ with help from Dread MC on the vocals.
