Jay Robinson - Control EP (Out Now)
House don Jay Robinson continues to reign supreme with his 10th solo release on Night Bass (yes, 10!!). This time around he brings us the “Control” EP. Title track “Control” drips anticipation as it leads up to a bass drop synonymous with the Jay Robinson sound while hypnotic vocal samples transcend you into the deep, driving bassline of “Aeber’s Reckoning,” ending the EP on a bass-rumbling note.
Qlank - Alien EP (Out Now)
Just when you thought Qlank’s “Dimensions” EP was stellar enough, he comes in hot with the extraterrestrial 4-tracker “Alien” EP. The title track is a bass-heavy, unidentified flying object starring Qlank’s classic midtempo sound followed by an out-of-this-world bassline with jagged teeth that tear right into Dread MC’s high-energy vocals over g-house slapper, “Ain’t For Luck.” The next track, “Ohh” is peak-time rave artillery, leading into the vicious bassline of “Issues” to round off the package.

MNNR - The Party EP (Out Now)
MNNR lands back on Night Bass with “The Party” EP. The title track’s subtly melodic, rolling bassline adorns a crunchy breakdown, setting the stage for “Thanks Officer,” a sinister number echoed by a menacing bass drop. The pumping drum work in “Damn“ tears through vocally-hyped breakbeats, finishing the release on high energy.

Blossom & SHDWS - Mind Games EP (Out Now)
Two of our incredibly talented, graduated Night Bass Freshmen teamed up to deliver us this next release. Blossom and Shdws unveil the “Mind Games” EP, donning two major collaborations and two solo bangers. The first collab “Lotta Cash” kicks it off with fun sample work and a textured rolling bassline leading right into the looming intro on the collaborative “Mental”, followed by a bass-heavy drop. Blossom makes modulation great again in this next one, “Modulate”, and Shdws finishes off the package with bassline banger “Pull Up”. This EP offers a clear distinction between Shdws’ stripped down yet rhythmically complex approach and Blossom’s ominously flavored, high-energy beats, all culminating into one fire EP.

Smalltown DJs & rrotik - Love is Gone EP (Out Now)
Smalltown DJs and rrotik bless Night Bass with their “Love Is Gone” EP. These Calgary legends present us with a brilliantly unique 3-tracker, calling upon rrotik and Taiki Nulight for a remix. First up is title track collab with rrotik, a fantasy provoking mix of emotionally-charged vocals alongside shuffling synth work that sends you into the psytrance-like rhythms of “Wake Up”, another rrotik collaboration and a refreshing addition to the Night Bass discography. Rounding off the EP, Taiki Nulight splices up “Love is Gone” into a whole new production, adding his signature sound and darkening it up a bit. This is one of the most versatile releases we’ve seen on Night Bass in a while!
