I've been on this bass driven instrumental tip lately. Im really diggin the sparse bass driven nature of heaps of dubstep which owes just a little of its stylistic approach to the musical forms of drum and bass and jungle. This quest for bass had me diggin through my old cds, One of the titles i found was Nutcase and Pappachubba's Flex. This was an Australian duo one half being Paul Mac from Booboo and Mace and Itch-E and Scratch-E fame. The latter being famous for winning an ARIA in 95 and thanking the ectasy dealers of australia. I remember hearing flex being rinsed on 2SER's Montage show when it came out in 97. Its a solid excursion into sub bass driven melodys, dark synths and uplifting vocals and of course the amen break being chopped up and processed through a thousand different effects. I couldn't find an image online but interestingly enough the cd is availble through several european music stores and seems to go for around $50 Aus dollars. Not bad considering most australians have probably never heard of the group.
