Northern bassline legend Krissi B provides us with our latest In The Face Mix. Packed full of exclusives from the man himself and many others, this mix really shows us the direction niche bassline should be taking, and clearly is. Absolutely banging from start to finish, we are very pleased to include this mix onto our roster.

Our first release, Assimilate, out now and features 4 massive all-star collaborations between Kanji, northern bassline legend Krissi B, Wigan’s Heapy, Audiogutter and our own resident DJ and producer Hadean, combining bassline, rave and breakbeat into one dancefloor destroying record.
We’ve sold out of the vinyl but fortunately it looks like you can still buy it from a number of places in the UK, or from Toolbox Records if you’re in Europe/Rest of the World.
The digital release is still available from our releases page, or from a number of digital stores such as Boomkat & Juno Download.
Some of the tunes on this compilation are so good it was almost tempting not to share them, but that is not what we are about at In The Face, at all! So here is one of the best jungle footwork releases we’ve ever heard. On it are some absolute killer reworks of classic jungle tunes, like Om Unit’s 808 laden take of We Ire E, and even some juked up versions of d&b classics like DJ Fresh’s Gatekeeper. Excellent and totally free, downloadable here.

Local lads Donky Pitch come at us with another unique and inventive release in the form of Talkin 2 U. Combining juke, disco, trap and much more, we honestly haven’t heard anything quite like it, and we like it! Cut up vocals are combined with 808 drums and shimmering arpeggiated synths to create a soulful yet strangely rhythmic EP reminiscent of some of Rustie’s work. Available either as a digital download or on limited edition cassette.

This album is some serious upfront bass music, taking influence from many styles including juke, grime and even Bollywood soundtracks. Featuring some excellent vocals from the likes of Parly B and M.I.K. as well as instrumental tracks like the heavy marriage of dubstep and juke that is You’re Not Going Anywhere, this album has little filler, and brings Sarantis’ vision of a futuristic dystopian cityscape to life.

Hostage takes us in a slightly different direction for this release, signified by the wonky techno of title track ‘How We Go Down’ with its gritty bass and catchy vocal hook. The rest of the EP combines techno and bass to varying degrees of success, though it is nice to see Hostage trying out some new styles.

Some seriously mental break-centric bassline from CPTN, out now on Mutant Bass Records. Absolutely killer bass distortions, chopped up rhythms & vox mean this is an incredibly heavy and, dare I say it, in your face release. GAAAR!

Extremely hype promo mix for Glade 2012 by Lenkemz, which includes many genres from dancehall to jungle, via bassline and juke. Lots of unreleased tunes, and a real taste of the man’s set at Glade this year.

The new mix from Diplo, a summer moombah mix with a ridiculous amount of new and exclusive tunes on it, and I wouldn’t expect any less from the man who runs the mighty Mad Decent. My only qualm is with the inclusion of a terrible Justin Bieber remix, but apart from that hiccup this mix is solid.

A cheeky little mix from Brooklyn-based artist NastyNasty, featuring mainly his own productions. The title is apt, lazer sounds galore, lots of glitch-wonk-trap-whatever new genre they invent for this kind of music…definitely worth a listen though!

One of our favourite mix series here at In The Face, apart from our own of course, are the Brock Out mixes. This one from DeVille is definitely up to their usual standards. The Senseless Records co-owner has spun a mix of multiple genres, including grime, hip-hop, bassline, jungle and juke with great aplomb. Checkit.
