According to TV’s Mythbusters there’s a myth that says the US has a sonic weapon which can produce a bass note that is so low and deep that it will completely mess you up! Apparently anybody subjected to the sound will crap their pants and become completely disoriented hehe. Ok fine, the geek-tastic duo busted this myth, but I think bass scientist Ricorb might be on to something..! Just check out the low frequencies in the fantastic Almost A Mullet mix he made for us! In fact, he should probably expect a visit from “the men in black” any second haha. Anywho, enough of the analogies. Just get this mix, mm’k?

“With this mix I wanted to start slow and progress from there, covering all the stuff I’ve loved over the past couple of years as well as some more up to date tunage. It’s all done Live in Ableton with a custom setup which lets me chop up things on the go, but usually results in sporadic noise and tempo changes, so watch out for that. Hope you enjoy the mix, and watch out for my E.P. dropping some time next year on Electrostimulation records.
Peace,
Ricorb.”
TRACKLIST
Milanese – Caramel Cognac
A beast of a track, it’s slow, thick and slaps you round the head in all the right places.
Bassnectar – Verbing the noun
Slow Psydubstep? One of my favorite producers at the moment, his latest album leads you through some messed up places oozing with bass, yet retains a hippy ethic. Wonderful stuff.
Leftfield – 6/8 War
Wanted to give the signatures a little shuffle, so stuck in the best tune to do it. Works at ANY bpm, Leftfield are absolute legends.
Kelpe – Shipwreck Glue
A great track from a great producer. Organic yet spiky, full of oddball samples and synth work that pokes around the highs and lows.
Black Lodge – Horse with no name
Vocoder! One of Mo Wax’s best me thinks.
MSI – El Microfono
A funky little number, used here as a filler.
Matthew Dear – Don and Sherri
My personal fav off Asa Breed, it’s a wonkalioded pop song with a fantastic chorus.
Speed!
Mr Oizo – Pourriture 207
Speeded up french madness. His tunes are simple, yet ultimately leave me feeling very confused.
David Lewis – When you’re not here (Kanji Kenetic remix)
Typical Kanji, beefed up bassline which sticks it fingers into every crevasse of noise it can. I’m pretty sure there’s at least 2 gabba kicks in there.
Mustard Pimps – Oh La La (Stereo hereos remix)
The original is great but this mix is just next level shit yar! An absolute blinder! It’s like anti trance, or something.
DeadPerson – you lost the game (Ricorb’s second player presses start remix)
Oh look, a remix of mine.
Jahcoozi – Get Yo Shit Out (Kanji Kenetic’s remix)
Another blitz from Kanji. With more 8bit niggles.
Mom and Dad – This is shit (Bryan Cox remix)
Granted I upped the tempo quite a bit but it works for me! Maximal fidget gated basscore.
Acen – Trip II the Moon (hostage remix)
The return to rave! Again! I usually snub most things that latch onto ‘rave’, but this justifies its self with a huge hoover bass. Hostage doing good tings at the mo.
Egyptrixx – Use magic to kill death
Scary voices! Moar bassline! One to watch definitely, believe he’s got an EP on Electrostimulation records pretty soon.
Squire of gothos – Sandpaper riddim
Been playing this one out for a while and it destroys the dancefloor every time. And by destroy I mean everyone runs up to the booth asking what the hell it is. Bassline via breakcore. Nothing better.
Rusko – Cockney House (a1 bassline remix)
THE student dubstep anthem. Big stupid and ugly, you can’t help but grin when you hear it. A1 bassline does his ting and sticks a fookoff huge bass drum behind it and adds a little more atmosphere during the vox. Stonker.
DTL – NY
Mr Luca obviously loves new york. I obviously love the bassline.
Squire of Gothos – Only want to be with bass
The new ultimate end of night track. Throws people off until the hear crazy bassline. I expect most thinks its just going to be another bmore remix. It’s most certainly not.
Ricorb Biography
Rising from the subterranean slums of Karama in Dubai, Ricorb’s youth was spent drinking vast quantities of the local concoction (Laban Up, Shani, apple shisha flavoring and King Robert II vodka) and gorging on fake Playstation games. After a particularly blinding session involving some stomach pumping and a special strain of ketamine designed for camels, he woke up to find a copy of dance eJay in his left hand and Mr. Ozio’s Analog Worms Attack in the other. Realising both objects were pathetic in every way, he threw them at a Nissan Patrol and did what every other geeky loser did at the time. Listened to Aphex Twin.
Since then Ricorb has grown into a fully fledged manboy trying to make sense of the world that surrounds him by smothering it in bass and 909 claps. He’s usually found on the outskirts of Dubstep/Speed Garage/PsyDM/NuGrave-NickCavecore and countless other made up genres, wading through the slime hoping to find a sample pack which would do it all for him.
