Up in the Jam - Chris Bass Hilltop Hoods Remix

Well I wasn't gonna do it then I downloaded the stems and when I heard em together I was like "damn that's pretty nice". So I have a track up on Triple J Unearthed that features possibly my best MC metaphor "I twigged like a twig"...hey I was in a rush to get back to the LP.

Anyway it's got my Bass, Guitars and rhymes over it including a true story about me getting mistaken for my celeb brother by drunken girls...

Cuts by the magnanimous and talented DJ DL.

Get at it - register on the Triple J Unearthed site and drop a comment...I'd like to hear...


Up In The Jam - Triple J Unearthed - Chris Bass

You're gonna hate me...

OK I got waylaid a little the last week and a half - in-between day-job:

(A)I completed the bed-work for yet another remix of an old Defenders track...including recording a new verse.
(B)I wrote and recorded a verse for a track with my friend Integer called "Every Utterance"
(C)I completed and uploaded a track for a remix comp...not so much looking to win in as much as I heard the stems (producer: Trials) and wanted in. Laid vocals, bass, guitar and a pad-based monster-mash flip of the samples...OK it's the Hilltop Hoods Unearthed comp for Triple J. When it's live on the site I'll holla.
(D) I hit a record fair with DL and have already come up with some ideas for my bountiful haul.

Back to the LP now I promise... the image is a small preview of the sketch for the 18 foot aerosol masterpiece by SBWY SUDS that is the LP cover.

Straight Up -Funk Friday Remix

Back in 2004 I was in a group the Defenders with MC Flak and DJ Snair. The posse track on our LP Self Defense was called Straight Up and featured all of Mindfield, coXster, Shazzy Shae and Kris Edits from After Hours.

After Kris came to visit last weekend I dug up that track, picked 3 verses that would work for remix and laid down some beats, bass and guitar...this is the result...check it on Soundcloud.



I know get on with your album...I did some other non-LP related stuff this week also - stay tuned.

Monster, Monster...that's what they're yelling

..it's not about a salary, it's soon to be reality.

3 more tracks to edit and mix - two weeks tops...then master, then press. Fact.

Chris Bass Bandcamp site + Sayonara

No I'm not dead (or undead)...I've had life keep dragging me into it's industrious jaws. The LP is progressing and I have some new tools to help me out.

I've started a Bandcamp site - I'll be moving all tracks there as Fairtiliser has started track limiting. If any tracks start disappearing from here or don't work they'll eventually be posted at Bandcamp. There are only 200 free downloads per month so get in while you can.

First track is Sayonara...It's an amalgamation of old verses that I've been performing since way back then when QLD hip-hop artist CoXster sent me the beat. I polished it up for the LP but it doesn't sit with the newer tracks or the theme...so you get it gratis.

B.O.M.B. with Ev-Omega -Triple-J Unearthed

Back when I first started hanging with Ev (and he was calling himself Verse1 not Ev-Omega) we recorded a few tracks with his brother Visionz who was in a group called Headstrong Company. Ev and I decided to work together as a production/rhyme duo under the name Soundbombers and we recorded another track for the Battlehoggs mixtape Hype City with Visionz which you can download elsewhere on this blog.

Headstrong started taking off, Ev became their producer and Soundbombers took a backseat. There are still a few tracks in the can including this one: B.O.M.B. I was going to put it on the LP but instead it's up for streaming and download on the Triple J Unearthed site...get it HERE. While you're there feel free to drop a comment.

...and of course DL on the cut...

One Last Drop w. Jekl

I'm not a big drinker (pause) but when I'm chilling with my mates occasionally I do like to tie one on...it's the Irish in me.
Jekl is a fearsome drinking partner because when the good stuff has run out he will sometimes raid your cupboards looking for any alcohol to drink and failing that maybe even a sip of hand-wash (nowadays only if previously approved by the poisons hotline). Anyhow this track was written on one of those nights...nuff said...if you want to download it click the cover-art in the player.
