The new (2018 and later) tracks in this mix are #2 Machines 2020 by Techmaster P.E.B., #7 Frame 5: 808 by the Bassbin Twins, #10 Boogie Down by Gucci Bass, and #15 Just Listen by JimiTheGenius & Merlyn on KUAD Recordings. Techmaster P.E.B. released an album last year called Subharmonix; I somehow missed it in the confusion of 2020. I haven't had time to listen to it closely but it seems good, bass in the classic smooth Techmaster P.E.B. style. Give it a listen if you like dreamy pads and deep sub-bass.

Three Phil Klein-related projects appear in this hour: Bass Junkie (his solo alias), Cybernet Systems (another solo alias), and Industrial Bass Machine (his project with Scott Weiser). Tracks #3 BassLab (with Debonaire), #14 We Are Borg (remixed by DMX Krew), and #11 Artificial Intelligencei 1991 respectively. I've got a couple of old Bass Junkie records but the tracks played here are from CD or digital download.

I really wish the Exceleration catalog was available digitally. Those are some of my absolute favorite bass records, particularly the two T.E.S.T. records (XCL005 and XCL007). I think Exzakt's tracks from Exceleration are available on his bandcamp but the rest seem to be locked away vinyl-only. There are three later T.E.S.T. albums too - Amazing Bass, Break Through, and ElectroPulse - none of which I can find for sale online anymore. That's a shame; those albums are incredible.

And that's all the time I have for writing notes today. A fine set, a couple transitions slipped a bit but that's OK. I'll be back next week Thursday evening with something faster for a change. More bass and electro.
