I don\u2019t like to split music into tight genres, so the term \u201cbass music\u201d is fine to describe this compilation \u2013 we can find here echoes of dubstep and steppers, all of that in original style. So, Violinbwoy gives us reasons to joy, because he shows his potential \u2013 \u201cEcho Park\u201d will be played on many sound system sessions at 4 in the morning. Similarly will it be with Tuff &amp; Powa, though the bassline reminds me of Boney M. Tune by OSC&amp;Dubsworth with toasting by Ranking Joe named \u201cItal Vital\u201d is a treat to dubstep fans. As for the \u201cveterans\u201d \u2013 Hatti Vatti and Ciann Finn is another example, how should the vocalist co-operate with the producer \u2013 a perfect duo without beating around the bush. Here i ask both of them: record more together, this is so magical and has the strong message, which is needed nowadays. Another artist worth of Attention is Vibration Lab alongside beautiful Wayne Jarrets voice which rules that tune, just like in \u201cConcrete\u201d, when you can hear voices from Only Joe. A big surprise for me is The Illuminated, because they took me to Jamaica and it seems like they met King Tubby out there, that\u2019s how i imagine dub that he would produce if he lived today. Fans of heavy, tough bass will be conquered by Numa Crew, however here we also have classic reggae echoes. Compa \u2013 without any compromises, just like 6Blocc, RSD and Kalbata. I left two crazy performers for the conclusion, you can say that they started the boom for roots reggae inspired bass music \u2013 Radikal Guru and Alpha Steppa. They both show their high level \u2013 Radikal remixes Zion Train, although he\u2019s had better remixes of that group (it might be fault of the tune which didn\u2019t impress me in the original version) and Alpha Steppa presents his fascination of the Middle East, what we are used to, full of sibilant, rumbling bass! Take it without consideration, because there is everything best &#8230; just a lot of bass!!!
