5 Summer Bass Smashers
It is the fag-end of summer and as autumn takes over, here are five bass smashers to set your last summer party on fire: 1. Spectrasoul – Delay No More (Shogun Audio) Clean, slick, relaxed: these are the adjectives often used to describe Spectrasoul’s sound. Stepping away from the anarchic construction of their previous albums, Spectrasoul has come up with a sophisticated bass driven sound in ‘Delay No More’ and the effect is delightfully poignant.
