Week 34: Booty Bass

This week, as a palette-cleanser for the non-disco-fans after all the disco of recent weeks, is a mixtape of Booty Bass. The term "booty bass" really comprises a lot of genres (Miami Bass, Freestyle, Hip Hop Electro, and Detroit Electrofunk to name a few), but they're all pretty much tied together by big, 808-driven drum machine breaks topped off with raps about ass-shaking. The key differences between this stuff and, say, ghettotech/ghetto house/juke would be the breakbeats, and the hip-hop song structure.

It's easy to forget how HUGE this stuff was in the states in the '90s, but looking back on it a lot of these tracks were Top 40 mega-hits here. I've been told by a few people that this stuff never really made it across the pond, which is a shame. I guess this was our cultural equivalent of UK Garage, perhaps?

Anyway, for this tape I've left out the Detroit Electro / Electrofunk stuff, which I'll cover some other week. I've decided to focus on classics from the 90s (some well-known, others more underground), with a few 80s proto-anthems and a couple of more recent tunes as well. Enjoy!

  3. homie...i just bought my first ipod about 8 months ago (not being able to dj out here in SF, i've had to find a different way to enjoy my music)...

    you've filled up most of the little gadget. this site is one of the greatest ideas ever. please don't stop at one year. this is phenomenal. the ambient jungle mix, specifically, is one of my top favorites right now.

  4. We used to use these CD's back when I worked at a sound studio to test out speakers after an install. It never stopped being funny..

  5. You know what I love about your mixes, CMBot? You have love for all genres and you're completely unpretentious. It's easy to dismiss an entire genre as crap. It's more difficult to discover something new, which is why fewer people bother.
