A split EP from CABASA, the up-and-coming Brussels artist stirring up the UK bass–leftfield scene with a unique rhythmic sense rooted in the lineage of Belgian New Beat, alongside the mysterious artist BASIC! Especially recommended are B1 "Good Trauma," a deep electro-breakbeat spun from clear, gleaming bell-tone high synths, and "Algo mod Arp," a warped acid dancehall cut at 170 BPM.
Track List
From the newly launched Paris label "INTRAMUROS," whose E-UNITY bass/broken beat EP made a vivid impression. CABASA, the maverick head of "ECLIPSE TRIBEZ," delivers "Good Trauma" (sample1), a metallic electro/broken beat where polyrhythmic drums and crystal-clear synths interlock like gears, plus "Algo mod Arp" (sample2), a mutant acid dancehall tracing melancholic chords. BASIC's breakbeat cut "Blaze" (sample3), with distortion-boosted bass resounding dirty, is great too — especially the shout and cowbell hooks. Recommended. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
