8U8A presents Global Bass episode 15 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
8U8A is a Russian DJ whose music career began in 2004, when he first performed as a Drum and Bass and Jungle MC. His vocal performances drew attention, and by 2007 he had decided to combine his DJ and MC skills while building a collection of bass music from around the world.
That collection brought dubstep, grime and garage into the centre of his musical identity, alongside his earlier grounding in Jungle and Drum and Bass. From 2011, he also immersed himself in the global bass scene, expanding his selection with Baile Funk, Moombahton, Kuduro, Dancehall, Dembow, Cumbia, Trap, Jersey Club, Footwork and related styles.
In 2014, 8U8A travelled extensively to present his collection and DJ and MC skills, meeting and collaborating with musicians and performers across South East Asia. Appearances in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia were received enthusiastically, establishing him as a performer able to engage dancefloors with vocal presence and bass-led selections.
His work on the microphone and behind the decks has reached audiences throughout Asia, guided by an aim of sharing positive energy and supporting the region's electronic music culture. At the time of publication, he was part of the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency and regularly hosted shows for the station.
At that time, 8U8A also performed across the nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City and Mui Ne, the coastal town where he lived. Those settings gave him opportunities to connect with varied audiences while presenting the wide-ranging bass music collection developed over many years.
Episode 15 opens with Defox's Yama and Pancharatnam, before NKOHA's This Is Destiny and Sanguo introduce Rap/Hip Hop voices. M.A.L.A.'s This Is It and Bang It, released through Monofonicos, bring in Electro, while Celt Islam's Light Within Me on Urban Sedated Records adds Dub before Fakir featuring The Renegade Sufi.
Stepart's Lovin Death and Gangsta Riot on Stand High establish the programme's Bass / Club direction, followed by ODG's Ghetto War featuring Brother Culture and Biga Ranx and Raffi Balboa's Ponte buena featuring Paco Mendoza. SPD's Shutta then leads into Chad Dubz's W.T.S.I.T and 4AM for CNCPT COLLECTIVE, where 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime pressure meets the Future Jungle edits of 6Blocc's Third Choice and Calm Down.
E.Reflexion's Chachacha 2.0 precedes Gentlemens Club and Blunts & Blondes' Rough Rider on Deadbeats, with Gentlemens Club and Watson's Gully Mode extending the Dubstep section. GRAVEDGR's KAMIKAZE and WARDOGZ featuring City Morgue, both on Create Music Group, shift the pace towards Hard Dance alongside GRAVEDGR, Carnage and Dither's FICK DICH.
Radical Redemption, Yellow Claw and Lil Texas bring Beat Your Mother from Barong Family, while Rawtek and Lil Texas follow with Wake Up before Dither and Juyen Sebulba's Barong Family release Welcome To Hell. Igorrr's Very Noise on Metal Blade Records adds Metal to this intense stretch, after which Alex Barbarian's Wedding Soup, Eventually and Fussy provide a change of texture.
6Blocc returns with Hornz 2019 and 808 Messiah, then G Jones's Dream Fatigue on ILLUSORY RECORDS (OS) brings Breaks into view. JSTJR and Rawtek's Go Stoopid for Group Chat introduces Bass House, and Ray Reck's Lose It (JUMP) keeps the rhythmic focus moving before Morello and Henrique de Ferraz's Garupa Pt. 2.
The final run turns towards Brazilian percussion through Morello and Neguinho do ITR's Popotao, Zushi's Favelado featuring Carl Nunes and MC Peu da VM, and Rabetao featuring Kaku and MC Malaika, both released by Barong Family. Salon Sandunga's Negro, A-PAR's SPACE DRILL, Los Dutis' CALLADITA and E.Reflexion featuring Bass&Breakfast's Jungle do Favela make room for Latin Electronic movement.
DJ Dayvi and Victor Cardenas's Baila Conmigo closes the Latin Electronic thread before Los Dutis' Zapatear on Worldwide Records brings a final Dance lift. Sydney Souza and kLap's Me Gusta remix, followed by Salon Sandunga's Suxxxia and Ese Booty, rounds off a programme that moves from meditative bass material through hard-edged club music and back to percussion-led global bass selections.
