A1 Bassline Bangers

Its weird. When i think bassline, i think craig david style garage or chavs on the back of the buss belting out chipmunk music through their nicked mobile phones. Maybe im just out the loop?

"Justice" esque - big distortion electro is all good and well when i want to work up a sweat... But I like something a little different every now and again - who was it that said variety is the spice of life? I like producers that do something a little cheeky, weird or intriguing - I first heard Switch, and i was like "what the fuck!?" Its a good feeling to hear something unique.

I never thought Bassline-y electro would work in a club.. but its a great bit of wobble to play after some dirty electro. Wideboys and A1 Bassline tunes seems to be on constant rotation, and it gets people dancing! A1 Bassline remixes are my favourite, being mainly jittery, garagey fueled bangers. A1 Bassline is the brainchild of one half of ravey group Partyshank.

Here A1 remixes house producer Andy George's "Big Dipper" to devastating effect:

There is also a great mix on Trash Menagerie which is definately worth a listen!
