After the dust settled on Midnight Bass'es heavyweight Scotland VA in December last year, we've all had our ears pinned back (sore as fuck but its got to be done), patiently waiting for the next releases from all involved... We didn't have to wait long, and we didn't have to go hunting as multi-genre-uber-skilled producer Mastaki has followed up the speaker bothering Fatboi collaboration with Idylist, with a solo effort that's aggro and innovative in all the right places, ear

Midnight Bass, Edinburgh's longstanding weekly club night bass renegades, have been ultra busy during 2020, reframing the negatives of being an events team in a post Covid world in lockdown by harnessing their passion, time and energy into stoking the fire of Scottish bass music at its very foundations. Since the start of the year they have been curating not only a formidable mix series showcasing the breadth of talent and tastes across Scotland but have also been digging dee

Stay safe out there familia, respect each

As a member of Capitol 1212 I cant say this release is good, great, shit or awful.. I leave that to your most discerning ears to decide (let us know in the comments), but I can let you know that we are re-releasing our 2018 version of Joy Division's Opus "Love Will Tear Us Apart" with legendary vocalist Earl 16's deeply melancholic tones as a seven inch on London's Rocksteady, Reggae and Soul Sevens label Happy People. Originally dropped as part of Mungo's Hifi's bi-annual Pu

Freshly dropped this week is the massive new LP "Lost Routes" from Edinburgh based Conscious Route and True Note on their indie label True Hold. Fuck. I cant quite overstate how deep a journey this LP is, the 20 tracks (14 musical and 6 excerpted interview pieces) cover a broad spectrum of sounds, styles, tempo's, ambiance and energies with Conscious route's honest and introspective observations on the modern world we live in articulating what vast swathes of our society feel

Great Ezcape have just dropped another bass laden bomb of a single called If Not Now, alongside a strong and seriously sobering video which reflects the subject matter of social justice for the track, the video being comprised of footage of BLM protests across the world over the past months. Penned 2 years ago and reaching the light of day now, Profisee notes the irony and sadness that the message is still resonating so strongly today. A crushing observation indeed but Prof b
