Iamseife - "Mad Loop"

When it comes to bass music in Northern Italy, there’s only one party you need to know about. Dub Zoo is the crew, club night and brand behind the finest bass music in Milan. Crew members Iamseife, Seth, and Toome, are on the cutting edge of the sound that is currently creating a global phenomenon. Bass music combines elements of a variety of genres to create a bass-heavy, subwoofer-destroying club sound. “Mad Loop” and “My Best” are great examples of the current state of Milan’s bass music scene. In addition to the amazing originals, the title track, “My Best” gets treated to a pair of incredible remixes. First, Trenchant Dubs’ top veteran producer, Aquadrop, takes a unique approach and dives far into deep house territory. Utilizing his incredible talent as a jazz musician, Aquadrop draws on his multi-instrumentalist production style to create a free-flowing house track which is as equally suited for the main room as it is for the after-hours party. On the other hand, J Courage’s take on the track has a much darker and sinister sound. Drawing on influences as wide-ranging as early Metalheadz releases to current acts such as Salem and †‡†, this sound seems to be defining his most recent remixes. This new breed of Italian producers are a welcome addition to a label which thrives on being eclectic and carving their own path. As a whole, this release is Trenchant Dubs at its best.
