'Taken A Turn', blu-e / Grid Records, 2023
The always impressive Grid Records delivers again, this time with a who’s-who of underground composers from across the bass spectrum. Big tip!
French artist and curator Clad gathers together thirteen earth-shattering tracks from the bass scene’s most promising creators, all aimed to move you in the most primordial way. Evoking images of vast landscapes and deep underground catacombs.
This perfectly curated various artists compilation takes the listener deep into the earth with twisted percussion workouts from the likes of Jabes, Piezo, Ronan and Sister Zo… and back into the light with serene compositions from E-unity, Tammo Hesselink and A Psychic Yes, whilst Jay Duncan, Basile3 y Clara!, Jonny From Space, Flaty, Seekersinternational, and Blu-e join the dots with their genre-defying creations.
There is a surging kinetic energy throughout, keeping the listener hooked and not knowing what to expect next whilst also tapping into a feeling of optimism that sets this release apart from others in the genre.
As was the case with GRID’s first V/A compilation Improvisations, the label once again puts its stamp on a moment in the underground by collecting together productions of the highest quality that push the boundaries but undeniably make you want to move.
