ABOUT THIS ITEM

As dubstep splinters and morphs into countless sub-genres,"Elevator Music: Vol. 1" is the definitive snapshot of bass music in early 2010. Gaining both critical acclaim for its catchiness as much for its atmosphere, the mutant strain of 140bpm (or thereabouts) bass music currently infiltrating the global airwaves has morphed consistently over its recent life span; cross pollinating its acres of influences into the bundles of sub genres it now houses. It's become a strain of club music that revels in biting back against the perceptions of those outside of the core scene, those who consider dubstep to simply be a swelteringly tough warbling bassline that's complimented by a half step drum pattern and some airy atmospherics. The warm fluid basslines of dark garage, the spacious precision of techno, the unabashed bolshiness of grime; the percussion led rhythm of UK funky, the wanton bump of 2-step and the erratic fluorescent synthesized harmony of skweee are all constantly being harvested, peeled and juiced by a new wave of producers who are revelling in their mission to further the cocktail of sound that dubstep is currently thriving off. Pooling tracks from established producers like Martyn, Starkey, Untold and Caspa & Rusko with a smattering of producers destined for great things come 2010, "Elevator Music" ticks boxes in categories and niches that don’t even fully exist yet, unifying the vision of sixteen producers with one simple passion: BASS!
