8U8A, a Russian DJ and MC based in Ho Chi Minh City, presents episode 14 of his Global Bass show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform.
8U8A began his musical journey in 2004 as a Drum and Bass and Jungle MC, honing his craft as a vocalist before deciding in 2007 to blend the roles of DJ and MC. This shift allowed him to build an extensive collection of bass music from around the globe, with particular focus on dubstep, grime and garage.
In 2011, his musical horizons expanded as he explored the Global Bass scene, encompassing Baile Funk, Moombahton, Kuduro, Dancehall, Dembow, Cumbia, Trap, Jersey Club, Footwork, Jungle and numerous other subgenres. By 2014, he began travelling through Southeast Asia, performing in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia while establishing lasting connections with fellow musicians and audiences.
8U8A's work on microphone and decks established him across Asia's electronic music scene. At the time of publication, he performed regular shows on Scientific Sound Asia and at venues across Ho Chi Minh City and Mui Ne, where he was based.
8U8A's Global Bass episode 14 on Scientific Sound Asia opens with a deep, Afro-rooted Tarraxinha passage from Lenny B, whose Africa Tarraxa and Amsterdam Tarraxa set the measured pace before DJ Kayel's Damn Tarraxa. DJ Remcy and Dazzlebeatz bring melodic detail with Jazzy Flute, while Stonn's Taliban Gyal and Dave Nadazero's T-virus introduce a firmer edge.
The next stretch brings Bass music into contact with Latin rhythms through Munchi's Naffie Back (Twogangs Flip), Morello's Louder and Afro Bros' Nak Panja Remix, a confirmed Trap release on Sleazy Stereo x Afro Bros. Morello and Sydney Sousa's Teile E Zaga, alongside Evound X Breakline's Booty Ride, keep the pressure high before Washiwasha's Polvora Ft. Eddie Sums.
Plastic Bertrand's Bambino (White Gangster Edit) introduces Reggaeton before Klap's Sow, a Rasteirinha track issued through Epitaph, brings a Brazilian emphasis. Meek X Paul Mond's Masivo, Biggie's Hypnotize (Uki Remix) and Project Paradis' Cut 11 move through Hip Hop and breaks-informed material without losing the programme's club focus.
Distinct Motive's Hamburg and Haste, both released on Navy Cut, provide the clearest 140 / Deep Dubstep / Grime passage, joining grime pressure to dubstep weight. Soohan then recasts Algerian and Omani source material in Slimane Azem and Music Of Oman, with Dave Nadazero's True Colors returning the set to a heavier club register.
Jlz and Klap's Chorando Se Foi leads into Jlz's Baile Sapata O, Klap's Chгo and Outsider's War Riddim [wile Out](Gcb039). Buarky and Shavozo's Favela Bass cut Paruga, released on wile Out, is followed by funk material from M3b8 and Klap on Toma Tapa, Klap and Noize Men on Nгo Quero Flash, and Jlz's Feeling Good.
Sanvtto's Nirvana and Pump frame Sico Vox's Pump Up The Jam before Jstjr's Culo Pa Tra (Twogangs Rmx) and Oliver Tree's Rock track All That broaden the final run. Klap's Rave Das Arбbia, Mara's Hip Hop remix of Foufoune, and Smooth Operator 3000's Tropicana bring the programme to its final bass-heavy close.
