about

It is about time to revive the label with a new vinyl compilation named "Second Drop", following the tradition of a nice roundup across various bass music tearitorries. One side pumps at uplifting 160 BPM, while the flipside is shifting down to relaxing 135 and even 120 speeds.

Nuphlo and Bukkha team up for the energetic modern halftime piece "Drip". Nuphlo might ring a bell as part of The Nasha Experience from London and Leeds, connecting asian roots with nowadays UK bass sounds. Bukkha is state-side born and has recently emigrated to Spain, from where this worldwide touring DJ machine is firing a plethora of bass music styles on renowned labels like Moonshine, System and Innamind.

DjBadshape passes the breakbeat driven torch with handsome melodies and subby kickbass on "Drift" to reflect Leipzig's well various scenes. While checking her tracks on Defrostatica and Human, one may also find artworks for Bassmæssage and more.

Sun People is closing the 160 side with the deep but dirty retro 90s jungle bit "Rise Up". Combining Techno, Footwork and UK Hardcore Breakbeats, the Graz based bass buab made it to releases on Exit, Rua and Alphacut.

Flipping sides, Dub Across Borders redefines steppers dub into the dreamy yet rolling "Bass Tree Dream". The project was found by a Copenhagen dubber when living in Colombia, fusing the rural folklore with soundsystem energy into a world-bass music. This can be heard on labels like Basscomesaveme, Translation and 45Seven and is best to be experienced in its live dubbing appearance which premiered at a Bassmæssage in 2015.

Paranoid One grabs these feelings and drops them a bit more sinister, "Glimp" manages to hide a playful 4 to the floor kick as well beyond its smooth soundscapes and percussions. As Paranoid Society these split personalities from Tallinn were delivering to Modern Urban Jazz and Alphacut already since a decade at least.

bhed finishes with the slow far-away dubsteppish "Minerva". Make sure to not only check the releases on Row and Trusik but also the freshly baked Neuburg based liveact inbetween cosy ambient and lush bass music at the next Bassmæssage on 18th November in LeipZig!

"Nice & various!"
Babe Roots (System, Zamzam, Echocord)

"Nuff riddim ruffage here to keep me regular"
Steve Barker (On The Wire)

"Nice release, I like [the] Sun People and Nuphlo x Bukkha tunes. Other side [is] sweet and smooth, big up!"
Moresounds (Astrophonica, Cosmic Bridge, Original Cultures)

"Diverse, atmospheric and vibey throughout, a fresh collection of dubwise jungle & breaks for every mood."
E3 (ZamZam Sounds)

"A superbly curated, highly versatile bassmusic compilation by BSSMSSG Crew. I love the Paranoid One and bhed"
Jah Schulz (Railroad, Basscomesaveme, Infinite Density)

"From far out dub pulsars to sparkling beats, it's a neat toolbox of membrane stretchers."
C0P (lo flow)

"Lushous, laid-back listening for early autumn, reminiscing summer vibes."
Æon Flux (Trommelbass)

"Another group of scorchers from Bassmæssage luminaries, worth to check out and play loud"
Collie Weed (Dub System)

"Solid second release from Leipzigs Bassmæssage camp, in line with current UK influenced bass music. Ranging from spacious advanced dub techno to proper drum n bass rollers. None too dark or experimental, all club-ready."
Junktion (junktion.de)

"BSSMSSG's Second Drop starts exactly with a drop. Rolling basslines, breaks and filtered cuts, lots of reverb. The compilation's sequence resembles the late summer days, when the heat from the last festival still warms the soul, while a cool breeze tempers the mind. It is a proper combination of halftyme, UK bass, juke-influenced compositions with a dubby foundation. The right tunes for the last outdoor rave entering the cold seasons."
Cate Hops (Buyreggae)
