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

Premiere: TORSO - Ramen

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.

Stay safe out there familia, respect each

Great Ezcape's New Single Asks The Question - If Not Now, When?

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
