High Chai Recordings returns with a fresh bass music epic SUBcontinentalBASS combining future movements with dance floor desirability. dimmSummer gathers 14 inter-galactic adventures striking the perfect balance between western grit and melodic eastern influence in the third “dimmSummer presents” series…

After the ground-breaking success of High Chai Recordings’ “Nu asian soundZ”, dimmSummer envisioned the next album showcasing more diverse sounds of an ever-evolving bass music scene. Bringing together established heavy-weights and rising stars, “SUBcontinentalBASS” delivers exclusive global bass winners ranging from reggae, breaks, dubstep, tropical bass and drumstep.

dimmSummer explains, “I wanted to steer this mothership full-throttle ahead with like-minded producers and bass-Jedis on board. The comp had to find that perfect balance between grit and melody, whether in my earbuds or dropped in a set. Producers from around the planet brought their signature sound, complimenting each other as a whole, while pushing bass music boundaries forward.”

IT CAME FROM OUTERBASS!

FACT: Between the late Bronze & Iron Ages (1500-1000 BCE) ancient Sanskrit texts “not of human agency” detailed great aerial battles between the Gods using other-worldly vehicles and weapons on the sub-continent of India. These aerial ships were called Vimanas.

VIMANA: “…a chariot of the gods, any mythical self-moving aerial car (sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving & carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, & one kind is said to be seven stories high.”

Barbouze – glitchy, experimental, down and dirty Brooklyn electro house, served up by the dynamic duo of Magie and Frederick Barbouze. Otto Matic marks the first joint release with our good friends at Patriarch recordings. This venture is known as High Chai / Patriarch Recordings.

The Otto Matic mixes serve up a fresh perspective on Indie Dance and Electro House, mashing up genres and bending frequencies into hybrid dance floor monsters. The Rumble Mix delivers pure breaky goodness before injections of wonky Electro House strong arm crowds to the floor. A half-time breakdown takes this joint to a whole new level. The Brooklyn Mix takes Electro House on a spacey journey, perfect for opening up the floor.

The B.R.E.E.D single Sound Killer on High Chai Recordings will hit Beatport EXCLUSIVELY on July 26th, 2010, don’t miss it! It is sure to send shock waves across international borders! In the months ahead the sound-nuggets from the DJ NASHA / B.R.E.E.D lab will be hitting you with great velocity with tracks lined up like domino pieces. This first new release will lead to the next slamming joint and so on – be sure to stay in line!

While keeping it fresh at every gathering, mangling frequencies, tearing bass lines, cutting up samples and dropping his gustatory production, B.R.E.E.D is slamming out sounds of potent identity. Happily, ceremonial dance freaks, breedlings and BASS heads have found an auditory counterpart. Long before any DJ from India went international, Ritesh D’Souza (aka B.R.E.E.D and DJ Nasha), decided to pitch his tent in the creative communities of underground dance movements.

B.R.E.E.D, who is otherwise known as the dynamic DJ Nasha, (two-time DMC Champion, India), uses the art of turntablism, controllers, FX processors, samplers, and alternative production concepts to align dance floors. Experimentation and an open mind have carried this artist beyond borders collaborating with various collectives in New York City, San Francisco and London, as well as performing at several internationally-acclaimed music festivals like Burning Man, Sunburn (Asia) and Global Groove.

B.R.E.E.D’s remix of Jalebee Cartel’s “Mirrors” (High Chai Recordings), raced to number 10 on Beatport’s Top 100 Dubstep charts in January 2010. A new EP on High Chai Recordings will feature an original B.R.E.E.D burner “Sound Killer” and a remix of Juakali’s “Come from Yard” (original version appearing on Kush Arora’s Dreadbass Chronicles – Kush Arora Productions).

On January 1st 2010 High Chai broke not one, but two rising stars in the sub-continental dubstep scene onto the Beatport Charts with Piyush Bhatnagar (via Deaf Bass Twins) & B.R.E.E.D (aka DJ Nasha). With the release of the first Asiatic dubstep compilation of its kind reaching the Beatport Top Ten in dubstep, dimmSummer presents: Nu asian soundZ showed the world that something new was happening. The doors were opened.

This bass-heavy joint from HCR compiled by ethnotechno.com founder dimmSummer features slammers from David Starfire, Jalebee Cartel, Liquid Stranger, GOONDA, Nuphlo, Radiohiro, KRTS, Omnesia, B.R.E.E.D, Deaf Bass Twins, and more…

In just 10 days all 10 Nu asian soundZ tracks slamed into Beatport’s Top 50 in dubstep with B.R.E.E.D’S remix of the Cartel breaking into the TOP TEN!

The immense success of Nu asian soundZ sparked the immediate curating of Volume 2 in May 2010, slated for a Spring 2011 release. Get ready for some next-level global bass culture…
