DJ Rap - Touching Bass CD


Our Price: $16.69 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Rap.

The first release to really approximate a live DJ Rap set, Touching Bass is a double disc, separated into one disc of drum'n'bass and one of breaks. After the pop crossover of her first production album, it's clear Rap's in no danger of hitting the charts with this mix, a set of furious hardstep tracks that starts out with a tech edge (Danny C, Dillinja) and rapidly reaches the sort of tempos not heard outside of specialty rooms since the brief reign of hardcore and gabba during the mid-'90s. Two impossibly driving, minimalist productions by Sonic & Silver bookend the excellent Accidental Heroes track "Even When It Rains," just before Danny C makes the first of several more welcome appearances -- he remixes two DJ Rap tracks and co-produces a third, "The Riff." The breaks disc doesn't begin on a good note ("Out There" by DJ Rap and Konverter is weighed down by a weak vocal sample), but for the rest of the set Rap shows as sure a hand with the selection and mixing as she does with drum'n'bass. She grabs tracks from some of the best in the breaks business (Plump DJs, Dylan Rhymes, Phil Kieran, Rennie Pilgrem) and cleverly works in a few nods to her breakbeat past: the Moving Shadow classic "Helicopter Tune" by Deep Blue and "The Stammer" by Raw as F**k (including Aston Harvey, co-producer of her classic "Spiritual Aura"). ~ John Bush

4 stars Drums and Bass At It's Best!!
The CD has two dics. Disc 1 is drums and bass. This disc is outstanding!! If you're a percussion and bass fan, you'll love disc 1! Very creative and additive. I can listen to disc 1 over and over. Disc 2 is breakbeats. I'm not sure what breakbeat is but this disc was disappointing after listening to disc 1. It had nowhere near the energy and creativity of disc 1. I listened to disc 2 twice (I forced myself the second time) and it was BORING. Disc 2 brought the rating down by one star. Disc 1 is the best and ONLY reason to buy this set. It's well worth it. If you happen to like disc 2, God bless you.

5 stars killer
the cool thing about dnb is that there's plenty of variety. this album goes even further including a full CD of breaks. nice. leaves you with but one question: why is parental advisory slapped on the CD?
