8U8A presents Global Bass Episode 16 on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
8U8A is a DJ from Russia whose musical career began in 2004, when he entered the scene as a Drum and Bass and Jungle MC and vocalist. By 2007, he had brought his DJ and MC work together, building a collection of bass music from around the world with a focus on Dubstep, Grime and Garage.
In 2011, 8U8A expanded into Global Bass, collecting Baile Funk, Moombahton, Kuduro, Dancehall, Dembow, Cumbia, Trap, Jersey Club, Footwork, Jungle and other sub-genres. In 2014, he travelled through Southeast Asia to share this collection, performing and meeting fellow artists and friends in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia.
His work as an MC and DJ has brought him before audiences across Asia, with a focus on sharing positive energy through music. At the time of publication, he was part of Scientific Sound Asia’s DJ agency, performing regular station shows and appearing in the nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City and Mui Ne, where he lived.
Global Bass Episode 16 opens with the Urbøi Edit of Astronomia and Canibal’s Maza Riddim and Whata Sauce!, setting a bass-focused tone. M3b8 and Morello follow with Bidudi, while Klap and Morello’s Ai Que Gostoso, Khaer’s Booty Out and King Doudou X Caballo’s Perreo Criminal bring in the Moombahton, perreo and Baile Funk elements identified in the programme.
M3b8’s Grizzle Riddim with Marcy Chin and Murdara lead into 6Blocc’s reworks of Down In Jamaica and Buju, where the set brings in Jungle pressure. Shy FX and Gunsmoke’s Gangsta 2 on Club Tools and Cutty Ranks’ Original Rude Boy add dubwise and Drum and Bass weight before 6Blocc’s Fire Hardcore Edit changes the pace.
Gravedgr and Awoltalk’s All I Want, released through Heavyweight Records, delivers the programme’s confirmed Hardstyle turn. DubApe then brings Centipede from Mainframe Recordings, followed by Psyek’s Peanut Butter Solution and BTK featuring 2Shy MC on Vengeance, both on Dutty Audio.
Machinedrum and Holly’s Berry Patch and Goji keep the faster section moving before Mat Zo’s Blessed Be Thy Name on Mad Zoo and Bassbrothers’ Woods on Playaz. Calibre’s Latin 2000 and The Goat, both from Signature, hold the momentum through a more measured stretch of the set.
Complex’s Big Man and My Style precede Counterstrike’s Turn Them Into Dust and Just Hunger from Algorythm Recordings, with Current Value’s Silly Serious on Souped Up Records intensifying the sequence. The 6Blocc 170 Edit of Shot In The Dark, Heist and T>I’s Ointment from Co-Lab Recordings, and Mako’s Flip It and Oh Really on Metalheadz extend the break-led run.
Maze’s Rumble and Pussy, Prolix featuring Coppa’s Subterranean, and Loxy & Ink’s The Herald carry the late Drum and Bass section into Logistics’ Sleeper Dub and Missing and Mr Time’s Original 90s, both on Hospital Records. Sikey and Speedwagon’s Nighty Dread gives way to Inquisitive and Lockdown’s Battle Fury, adding Funk, before Hostile’s The Last Generation and Awoltalk’s Age Of Paranoia move through Dance Music and the final Hard Dance, Hip Hop and Trap selections: Russian Village Boy and Skurt’s Forever Drunk, Russian Village Boys and Cmh’s Pivozavr, Carnage and Timmy Trumpet featuring Wicked Minds’ Nah Nah, Ran-D’s Zombie, and Tommy Cash’s X-Ray.
