About Me

  • Some press for the album "a smile is a curve that straightens most things""hackney dub master" TIME OUT"Deep within his beloved Echo Chamber, Bass Clef has been busy, and it has been time well spent. He has produced an album, without the aid of a computer, that redefines the boundries of Dubstep. His Dub-drenched analogue sound lies somewhere inbetween conventional Dubstep and Electronica. It is bursting with a raw, untamed energy that is fresh and exciting. Rhythmically, melodically and sonically superb, this is an album that should not be slept on." ATM MAGAZINE"It takes the sonic palette, the menace and some of the rhythms of grime, and applies to them production techniques learnt from dub and abstract techno. What's relly great about it is that, although the bass could probably rupture an internal organ, the groove and the hooks are ultimately so irresistible, you'd still keep moving if it did." INDEPENDANT ON SUNDAY"you can't fail to marvel at the way tuneless electro squiggles interlock with moments of astonishing beauty. Not for those with conservative taste but certainly one of the most captivating and progressive electro albums of 2006." THE SUN“Excellent” HARDWAX, BERLIN
  • and some for the "Hackney Centralist e.p.""Bass Clef could easily be record of the week in dubstep or electronica, but in the end I went for reggae as main track "Clapton Deep" is absolutely immense." SINGLE OF THE WEEK, PICADILLY RECORDS"This is without doubt one of the finest expeimental dubstep releases of 2006. This veers close to electronica in places and is essential if you like Kode 9, Burial or Rhythm And Sound" JUMBO RECORDS"Quality gear" SINGLE OF THE WEEK, NORMAN RECORDS"Expanding and retracting like some kind of concrete beast, 'Clapton Deep' is as debased a hunk of dubstep you'll ever hear. Bass in your face! " BOOMKAT"Bass Clef gets to grips with some serious underground sounds that are dub-laced, full of deep, moody flavours and some superbly chopped-up beats. There's a skillful malevolence to the sound with some really atmospheric background sounds and chord stabs that border on Basic Channel / Berlin style at times. A wicked piece of work that's well up there with all yer usual Dubstep bods." SMALLFISHYou can buy the album from these fine independent retailers: Rooted Normans Boomkat Tangled Parrot
