The Breakbeat Sound Of Finland vol 1 is a compilation of breakbeat music from some of Finland’s most promising producers. Out on June 1 as a digital Lightless release through all outlets.
To celebrate the release we're having a release party at Club Darkside with music played by people whose tunes are also featured on that album and also the head honcho of Lightless Recordings, Fanu. Soundsystem is provided by Gwan Positiv, so there will be BASS.
You can check the tunes from the soundcloud player below:
This might come as a surprise to.. well.. no one really, that we won the epic drum'n'bass battle at Sandro last february and as a result we're hosting our new collaboration night at Sandro.
The guest dj of the night will be Infader, who promised to play some deeper bits this time.
It's hard to believe we've been on Basso for a year, but it's true now. We did our first show exactly a year ago and I believe we've been getting better and better. At least doing this show felt really good and we had fun in the studio doing the show.
We ended up playing more liquid funk and rollers than usual, instead of playing all the deep, moody stuff, but to keep things still nerdy, VVR did a great special on a dude called Macc. Check it out.
The next time we will be terrorizing airwaves will be on 14th of June.
Yes yes, it's that time of month again, when Science Hki crew takes over the Basso Radio studio tonight at 10 PM (GMT +3).
We've got some fresh music to play from labels like Warm Communications, Med School and Utopia, and we're also doing a little special about guy who goes by the name Macc.

We thought it's finally a great time to do a new Science interview again, and this time the victim is a Finnish drum'n'bass producer Furi Anga, who recently released an album called Omnipresence on Silk Recordings late February.
Furi Anga, or Antti Viitamäki, is drum'n'bass producer based in Riihimäki, Finland. For the global drum'n'bass scene he might be a relatively fresh name, but in Finland he's released several self-funded cdr-releases. After getting his first "official" release on Phil Source's label Vampire (a collaboration with Resound called Waterpipe), his music has been released by labels like Shadybrain, Translation and Med School.
Some could say his music like a mix of modern "minimal" drum'n'bass and 90's atmospheric drum'n'bass with a touch of idm, but that's just one of describing his style.
One funny thing about drum'n'bass is the fact that you can use nice words such as "disgusting" to describe a track in a positive way. "Disgusting" is exactly the first word that comes to mind about Chris Octane's first solo release on his own label CO Recordings.
Smartest of you readers might have already figured out that Chris is one half of the drum'n'bass duo Octane & DLR, who released an album called "Method in the Madness" last year, and also have a nice back catalogue of singles on various labels, most of them on Dispatch Recordings.
After the album the duo made an artistic decision to part ways and go solo, and now here we have an example what Octane is able to do when he's in the studio by himself.
The technical production values and attention paid to small details are high, which shouldn't come as a surprise. Synthetics is disgusting. It's filthy. It's a dirty and massive piece of modern techstep with a steppy beat, slick and tricky edits and fills, and a huge bass, which will cause some nasty bassfaces. Guaranteed to destroy a dancefloor. In a good way, of course.
The flipside "Gaia's Dub" on the other hand is completely different, and in my opinion the more interesting track on this release. It reminds me of one of my favourite producers ever, Tipper, and his glitch hop stuff. It's bass heavy, but once again has all these tiny details in the sound design department, and really has some depth in the sound and is definitely not an in-your-face track like Synthetics.
The single is out today on monday the 6th of May. There will be more releases lined up for the label later this year, and also some collaborations. I'm definitely going to keep my eyes and ears open for what Octane has to offer us in the future. This release is definitely a good start.
Anyway, as usual: we've got some deep fresh beats here, and a little Bristol special by Axu so things wouldn't get too serious. Check it out. Next time we'll be on the airwaves on friday the 10th of May.
Hey ya'll! We are live today at Basso Radio 22-00 (GMT +3).
There will be a little Bristol dnb special in the show tonight, and there's also some new music to play. According to a scientific research, new music is good for your brain, so make sure you tune in tonight!
