#BassCityVolume1 is the brand-new LP series from #MainframeRecordings, the leading events brand from Austria and one which has helped shape the European market for nearly two decades. Spearheaded by label boss #Disaszt, the imprint is renowned for its compilation series so the announcement that they’ll be launching another edition is sure to get fans waiting in anticipation for its drop. The ‘#BassCity’ line of releases will exemplify the talent which the label has at its fingertips from across the local scene, pulling this into one release and giving newcomer artists a platform to flex their skills. Volume 1 does exactly that, delivering ten brand new tracks to launch from, and the range of music demonstrated throughout proves the combined weight of the #BassCity and #Mainframe brands. Beginning the LP is #Septon’s ‘#Contact’, pushing forward with rolling bass notes and minimal percussion; following on is ‘#Matches’ from #Mofes, offering a different flavour through his heavyweight bass distortion. Meanwhile #Cømpiler’s ‘#Python’ drops you in and out of its structured bassline, whilst still taking you out into the deep. #Division’s ‘#Lost’ continues the dark vibes, pulling you in for the ride. Then #SequentAndSkruff join forces with ‘#LookingforYou’, pushing a ruminating soundscape. #Bowsar’s ‘#Zero’ keeps the pace, followed in quick succession by the bass heavy world of #Synged’s ‘#Ombra’. #PaulSG’s ‘#ElephantintheRoom’ proves why he’s been picking up heat recently with its crunching snares and #Disaszt makes an appearance alongside #DotronixAndSanta for ‘#Moment’. #Envy’s ‘#Cruising’ draws the LP to a close, shutting the first chapter and leaving you wanting more as a listener. This is the first, but not the last of #BassCity. With #Mainframe at the helm, the platform is now set to unleash yet more brooding sounds into the market. Beatport exc:15th April
