8U8A has published the track list for his show on Scientific Sound Asia. The platform operates as an English-language electronic music radio station for Asia, alongside its work as a DJ agency, promoter and music news outlet.
8U8A is a Russian DJ who began his music career as a Drum and Bass and Jungle MC in 2004. He later became a vocalist before deciding in 2007 to combine DJing and MC work, building a bass music collection that focused on Dubstep, Grime and Garage.
By 2011, his attention had moved towards the Global Bass scene, expanding his selections across Baile Funk, Moombahton, Kuduro, Dancehall, Dembow, Cumbia, Trap, Jersey Club, Footwork, Jungle and related subgenres. That broad collection helped shape a sound rooted in bass pressure, rhythmic variation and international club influences.
In 2014, 8U8A began travelling with the aim of sharing his music collection and performing across new scenes. He later connected with friends in South East Asia and appeared in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia.
His microphone work and DJ sets have brought his bass-led sound to crowds across Asia. Now based between Ho Chi Minh City and Mui Ne, he is part of the Scientific Sound Asia DJ agency and performs regular shows through the station. Updates can be found through his Facebook page. One of his earlier station appearances is also available on Mixcloud.
8U8A Global Bass episode 20 opens with JSM’s 1893, placing the first section inside Dubstep through its 140 structure and DUPLOC-linked sound-system pressure. Ome’s Better Stay Home keeps the low-end focus in place before Alphabets Heaven’s Bamboo moves into Bass Music with a more beat-led and textured electronic sound.
Drae Da Skimask and Kareful’s Liquid Acid adds a darker bass cut, drawing from Drae Da Skimask’s trap phonk and Baile Funk-linked catalogue profile. Loom and Tsunga’s Homer Riddim then returns to Dubstep through a riddim-shaped structure built around repetition, sub-bass and sparse percussion.
Inkke’s Power Venom shifts the episode into Grime, bringing a sharper UK club edge into the sequence. J. Kong and Lavz follow with Cut That, while SbK with Fork And Knife’s Bars keeps the MC-led character of the section in focus.
Soulely’s Stand Up Tall appears in a Baile / UKG edit, moving the programme into UK Garage through swung rhythm and club edit structure. Soulely and Mar’one then push towards Brazilian Funk with Baile Bass Boasty, linking UK bass forms with baile rhythm.
DJ Milktray’s Martini Glass opens the wider Global Bass section with a club tool built for rhythm and impact. Bushido’s Stay Golden then returns the set to Grime, adding another vocal-centred cut before Hnrk’s Permutation moves back into deep Dubstep pressure.
Pixelord’s self-titled collaboration with Паша Техник adds a Russian-language bass track, placing the episode outside the usual UK and North American frame. Wizard’s Gunman with Alive Muzik then brings the set back to Dubstep through a heavier vocal-led structure.
Bop’s Skolzkaya Dorozhka and Beach Simulator 3d move the selection into Drum and Bass, using the producer’s detailed microfunk and autonomic background as the placement guide. The tempo and sound design create a cleaner, more technical contrast after the grime and dubstep passages.
Boylan, Slimzee and U.S.F’s The Mould brings the episode back to Dubstep, with Sentry Records’ release context pointing to breaks, bassline pressure and sound-system weight. Chad Dubz and Somah follow with The Business, keeping the section dark, reduced and strongly rooted in 140 production.
Dayzero and Vandull’s Door keeps the Dubstep run in place, with Dayzero’s catalogue sitting close to deep and percussive 140 material. Mr.K’s Fidget appears in the Dayzero remix, giving the section another stripped low-end cut before Denham Audio’s Run Da Ting moves into Breakbeat.
Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats’ Lay_up introduces Trap, using rap vocals and bass-heavy production as a bridge between hip hop and club music. Djedi’s Falling Together then pulls the episode back into Dubstep, keeping the low-end pressure close to the centre of the mix.
Eddy Seven’s Sahara opens another Global Bass passage through a title and rhythm that point towards wider regional club influence. Klasey Jones and The Wildcatz then bring Nature Falls into Bass Music, using wave and cinematic bass context to broaden the mood.
Fraxil and Midfug’s Hybrid Gang returns the set to Global Bass, while Glume and Phossa’s Banshee shifts back to Dubstep with a darker and more restrained system sound. Dee-lite’s Groove Is In The Heart appears in the Hedo edit, introducing House Music through a familiar funk and dance source rebuilt for club use.
Eva808’s Shakti and Skull In The Mud bring the episode back into heavy Dubstep and bass-weighted experimental production. Blunts and Blondes with Båwldy then add Let U Know, keeping the set close to modern Dubstep before Maxim’s Battle Horns widens the sound into Bass Music.
Mr.K and Dprtndrp’s Suppression Dub restores the deep 140 focus, followed by Murk and Shiva’s Granite and Salamanders. Those three cuts keep the rhythm spacious and the bassline central, forming one of the episode’s clearest Dubstep stretches.
Dubsknit and Pzg’s Sunshine Junglist introduces Jungle through its break-led structure and title reference. A-par’s Hbfc then moves into Baile Funk, opening the final third with a sharper Brazilian club pulse.
Trveso’s Wdgaf returns to Global Bass, using a direct club rhythm that fits the episode’s cross-regional structure. Freebot’s Pam Pam and Egalas with Blaxtork’s Danca bring Baile Funk back into focus through percussion, vocal chops and a harder club feel.
Yellow Claw and Wiwek’s I Want It shifts the mix into a festival-facing Global Bass sound, drawing from trap, Dutch club and jungle terror influences. Wuki’s Chicken Wang with Diplo and Snappy Jit then keeps the late section playful and percussive, linking global club rhythms with a more American bass music frame.
Wuki’s Hey Ladies with Yung Baby Tate and Stoppa extends that Global Bass stretch with rap vocals and a bounce-led structure. M3b and Fatty Bass then bring Dale into Baile Funk, adding one more Brazilian rhythm cut before the closing run.
Salvatore Ganacci’s Horse appears in the A-par remix, reshaping a well-known electronic track into a global club edit. Juyen Sebulba’s Get Higher keeps the rhythm broad and percussive before Baauer closes the episode with Tep Tep, ending on a Global Bass track tied to his wider trap, club and international rhythm vocabulary.
The episode moves from 140 Dubstep and Grime into UK Garage, Baile Funk, Breakbeat, Trap, Jungle and Global Bass. 8U8A uses the programme to connect sound-system pressure with international club rhythms, keeping bass weight at the centre while moving across several regional forms.
