Keeping on the dub tip as listening to lots of bass seems to be the order of the moment, dubstep producer Synkro lays down some low frequency law.

Deep brooding low frequency dub tone on this stand-out track from their 1999 album, Big World Small World, Bristol bass in the place. Head nodders of the green leaf, lay down your pipes and STEP UP!
*PLEASE NOTE* In order to gain the full flava of the bass, use headphones or hook your computer up to your stereo otherwise you just won’t “get” it.

As a rule I don’t have any compilation albums, quite a few years ago I performed a Stalinist purge on my collection, realising that a) the pressings were usually crap and b) I only really liked a couple of songs on each one anyway. Due to the miracle of t’interweb, the original releases of the tracks I liked were a mere mouse-click and a few additional brass farthings on the credit card away. The husks of the compilations were cast aside to a fate only marginally better than the refuse tip, the charity shop; probably to begin the cycle anew when picked up by some other spotty herbert.
However, for this compilation I grudgingly had to make an exception because the album it’s from is an even quieter pressing and the release on twelve isn’t the same version – I know because I bought them all in an escalating paroxysm of rage and frustration. I’m possibly being a little unfair to this comp because it’s spread across four slabs of vinyl with a max of only three tracks per side and it does have more than two tracks that I like. This is what I bought it for though; dub house, ragga house, don’t really care exactly what label with which to pidgeon-hole it but it’s a bouncy smiling track. I think Jazzy B’s phrase “A happy face, a thumpin’ bass, for a lovin’ race” equally applies here.
