WeAreBlahBlahBlah (Bass, House, Tech-House, Electro & Techno)

We are approaching our 5th Birthday (May 12th) and as part of those celebrations we have a whole host of things planned among which is dropping perhaps our most eagerly anticipated ‘Blah Blah Blah Records‘ release to date: ‘Blacksmif – Hoop Dreams / Microweight’. With glowing reports coming in from such luminaries as Mary Anne Hobbs, Laurent Garnier, Disclosure, Ben Westbeech, Audiojack, Deadboy, South London Ordnance, and Midland among others, we decided to get Blacksmif behind the decks for an exclusive mix. The Blacksmif sound flirts on the edge of accepted thinking, taking flamboyant percussive and melodic risks within a bass driven jazz tinged environment, the following mix typifies this unique approach as it roams freely amongst an often highly segregated field of music.

WeAreBBB EP40 - Mixed PanLeft

PanLeft is the second artist to be launching his debut via BBB Records and like REID before him his music has a conflicting sonic quality that is both foreboding and uplifting with distant echo's and delays creating a sense of isolation whilst earthy basslines and pads envelop the listner in a gathering gloom, before sizzling synths, sharp beats and elevating vocals pierce the gathering darkness. PanLeft's - Electrika / HRTS is set to drop April 9th, and in anticipation of his debut single he has crafted a superbly judged mix of beats that seamlessly combines heavy bass, sparse percussion and strong melodies throughout. Highly Recommended. Tracklist 01. West Norwood Cassette Library – Blonde on Blonde (Pearson sound remix) 02. Machine Drum – DDD 03. Boddika & Joy Orbison – Swims 04. Kashii – House Culture 05. Scuba – You got me (I got you) 06. Disclosure – Flow 07. XXXY – Kerpow 08. 123Mrk – Weird 09. French Fries – Champagne 10. Objekt – Cactus 11. Joy Orbison – Jels 12. PanLeft – Snapback 13.
