Krooner & Hotblood - A.M.A

Over the last few years, I've found myself falling out of love with what was one of my favourite genres, bass house (despite that not being its name when I first fell for it). I've found that it, like so many genres that blow up, had become bland, boring and largely unoriginal. That said, there are still numerous occasions where its power and creativity really shine. This GOLD DiGGER track from Krooner and Hotblood is one of those.

"A.M.A" is billed as "a very original bass single," and while that sent an eyebrow shooting upwards, it does indeed capture a unique quality. All kinds of lasers and other effects punctuate the otherwise simple and subtle opening as Krooner and Hotblood slowly turn up the tension ahead of the drop. And this is where "A.M.A" really takes off. About as off-kilter as it gets, this unique joint revs through several gear changes, like a supercar ripping around the Nürburgring. The combination of the funky guitar plucks, the onslaught of effects, slinky synths and continually churning low end is simply stunning.

A perfect fit for any racing game, "A.M.A" is available for free via Hypeddit here and elsewhere here.

ValyMo & Broady - Get Funky

As part of Gold Digger's We Are Bass House year end compilation, ValyMo and Broady have teamed up to drop French bass track "Get Funky." As part of the explosion of both bass house and French artists (Malaa, Slowbody, Dombresky, LH4L, etc), we've seen a surplus of copycat producers trying to live up to the likes of those mentioned above. But there's really no questioning the quality of ValyMo or Broady; ValyMo can boast productions for OWSLA, UKF and Ultra, while Broady cannot match that list, he's released numerous quality tracks ranging from "Hunnid For The Quarter," "Go The Farthest," "Kush World," and "Never Say Never." Considering his account is only 8 months old, Broady is a fast rising talent, and this collab with ValyMo will only hasten that. "Get Funky" stands out from the aforementioned surplus of bass house tracks, with well thought out layers of production working together brilliantly. From the vocal samples, through the ratcheted bass synth and throbbing subs, the overall design of "Get Funky" leaves little to be desired. The fills are fire, its atmosphere intoxicating and the continuous progression ensures it never gets stale. If this track turns your crank, you'll likely enjoy the other 14 tracks in the compilation, but first, get "Get Funky" for yourself free, here. FOLLOW BROADY: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
