BEHIND THE CUTS

Classic Formula

The shuffled 2-step rhythm, the sub-bass pressure, the clever vocal sampling—these are timeless elements in every Chris Bass production.

Pirate Radio Influence

Captivated by the energy pouring out of London's pirate radio stations in the late 90s, that raw energy informs every track.

Meticulous Production

Every element from the kick drum to the final reverb tail is carefully constructed for maximum dancefloor impact.
