Being the 4th of May, Im hoping Im granted a little indulgence for, a bit of a tale.

Good story this one, hope you like it.

Back in 2004 ish I was up in a club in Birmingham UK, just on my way out, done my bit in another room, that sort of thing, and a tune caught my ear. The ears picked up on some beats they seemed to like, and they heard some familiar Star Wars samples and a killer bassline. So I hung around (as you do) to listen to the track into the next mix (as you do). Had a little look thru the door (might as well uh) and to my surprise was a raving 6 foot Darth Vader on stage, in all the trimmings complete with light sabre ! Wasnt expecting that. And there seemed to be much merrymaking.

I remember it plain as day.. ended up buying the vinyl too shortly after. I still have it.

To cut a long story short and jumping 18 years forward.. Here`s the stems:

Thanks to Big Ang for sorting these out.. you get the “plug of the week” in return.

You may remember her from such hits as “Its Over Now” aka “Cheatin And Tellin Me Lies” & “Wifey”. Dont forget to check out her site here too.

I was supposed to be going to give you guys a heads up on the supposed “Return of Bassline” at some point soon, so might as well hijack this post as the content is similar. Some interesting reading to be found on the subject of the said great comeback which I spotted a wee short while ago on Music Radar which had such a enticing titling I couldnt hardly resist.

The Beginner’s Guide To: Bassline

So if you want to know what all the recent fuss is about with “Bassline House” go have a read for a bit of background on the scene/history. Its noy exactly concise, but great for an intro. Tis what it is.

Mentioned in the article linked above is one of Basslines previous success stories “Heartbroken” which we have a few stems for too:
