This album is one for going out to. You all know what I mean - it’s Saturday night, you’ve been drinking various flavoured vodkas and you’ve got your dancing feet strapped firmly to your body. There's one track which stands out triumphantly, it’s 'Vulgar'. I’m listening to this for the first time and it’s Tuesday afternoon, around tea time. Kids are walking home from school, settling down to Blue Peter and I’ve got this up to ear-bleeding volume. With closed eyes, I'm wishing I was in a kitchen at a house party, dancing on the worktops. The climax in this song transports me to a 30s swing club, filled with ravers. Jellybass will make you move like a human water bed. They’ll make you want to dress up and dance like a fool. It's music for turning up loud and playing to your friends, just to see their faces light up and heads start bobbing when the songs reach their dramatic peaks. This is better than good, this is godlike goodness. Get it, go out and turn to jelly.

New release from a new artists 'Jellybass'. Check out http://www.jellybass.co.uk for some album samples.
Let’s check it:
"wobble" sends out a sound pulse from its landing position on the newly formed planet just to the left of the Milky Way which scientists are desperately trying to explore. Dubby bass plods and ricocheting drumbeats walk perfectly in line with the shaking bass wave of thick unmachined plastic which has taken control. All of this is pasted over the smooth and rich vocal cut, with a jazzy underlying message.
Good stuff.
' Vulgar' is your personal ticket into the most exploded diagram ever, an all day pass into huge fat balancing distortions of liquid metal balanced over a laughing pit of robotic hyenas, whilst ' Loop da loop' is the place your brain goes to when to when you consume one to many bags of marshmallow, and your bloodstream is 97% sugar. It’s a thick and rich flyby of your eyeballs in reverb mode.
'Better ask barney’ lends you the keys to his car, but his car is a VHS player with boiled eggs for wheels...you aint going nowhere pretty quickly. This is the soundtrack to your brain melting whilst you dig through reams and reams of hard yolk.
' Mello Mello' blips and bleeps it along, using a coin for a foot and a photo of the middle of next week as a leg. Gloopy and mellowing along as the bassline forces rigid structures to become thin and porous materials to catch light. Just watch your robotic hips, as they are made of acetate. ' JB5 ' is a beat led attack into enemy territory, which evolves into a funk explosion with small holographic waveforms on the end of every light formed tentacle. Just watch your wallets.
Jellybass - Jellybass isn’t the normal type of music I normally listen to, but it did chill my heating valves and rotate my army of photocopiers enough to cause a tiny riot. Its bass rich and packed with dubby wave postures, which are just enough for you all to dissapear into the misty early hours.

The world of unsigned music can be an extremely boggy affair, scooting around for the odd gem usually results in ending up knee deep in grot. That’s pretty much why I stopped looking and tend to sit back and see what gets thrown my way. The theory here is that 9 times out of 10 people with the confidence to push their stuff are actually sitting on something good.
So with that little fanfare over and done with I present to you: Jellybass! The brainchild of the whole affair remains a dark secret and is simply known as LoHz, a rather apt artist name for the onslaught that is this album. 10 tracks of pure low level bliss is what’s on offer and each one had it’s own little theme. Personal favourite “Vulgar” teases with a live style bassline and swinging brass before descending into a disgustingly groovy electro bassline. Loop Da Loop is also an absolutely massive tune and pretty much sums up the groove and intention of the whole album. A very big dub influence is felt on many tracks and the ease of each groove that drops is made all the better by not having to drop into hi-speed breaks.
So Flat Eric struts up to your car and shoots you in the face, GTA style. He nicks your car and goes to pick up Leftfield before going on a complete rampage through DnB, Breaks and Hip-Hop with a fucking huge gun. Luckily LoHz are nearby and waste no time in smashing Eric with a 50 pound lumphammer before feasting on his yellow guts. If you can actually imagine this happening then you probably don’t need any help in twisting your mind. For all other people I seriously suggest you get yourselves over to http://www.jellybass.co.uk where you can preview the album and buy it direct.
