Soul Jazz Records Presents Future Bass vinyl

Future Bass is the sound of right now, all new music, all exclusives. Compiled by Soul Jazz A&R Nicole Kenzie and Deep Medi Muzik's Kris Jones it's a comprehensive induction into the many strands of music that have splintered out of dubstep in recent times. Tracks from Mala and Four Tet which were included on the preceding sampler open this selection and set the tone for what follows. The melodica heavy steppas riddim of Mala's "Don't Let Go" form a perfect contrast to the nine minute organic house groove of Hebden's "Nothing To See". In addition, new tracks from artists with a close affiliation with Soul Jazz deliver more highlights, with Untold's "Fly Girls" a brilliantly icy take on brand retro electro funk. Vinyl fetishist Ramadanman contributes a truly unique 4 minutes and 44 seconds of aural delight in "Bass Music" which descends from a spiral of heavily effected vocal edits over crisp syncopation into an all encompassing low end thrust. Space is also made for the new school with tracks from producers such as V.I.V.E.K, Distal and Randomer. It's the latter's track "Puzzled" that is equalled in the captivating stakes by the "Air" from Kevin Martin's new project Black Chow.
