Released into the wild this week, Ghetto Bass is being billed as Hervé's "inaugural" mix compilation. It's an interesting choice of word - an inauguration comes, of course, at the beginning of a leader's reign, a traditional ceremony used to herald a new direction. A 2-CD, 35-track romp through the last 20 years of bass music - the kind heard surging through British clubland in particular - the compilation also sounds like the best house parties you've ever been to coalescing into one unified moment of delirious abandon, cutting a path backwards through bassline, dubstep, grime, electro, drum n' bass and house. To this end, dance heroes like Zomby, Benga, Justice and The Chemical Brothers are caught in the mix, but cuts from guitar-wielding outfits like The Kills and Bloc Party are also co-opted, re-shaped, hammered into dance floor eligibility.

RCRD LBL has a twenty minute teaser for your glad ears, Ghetto Bass minimixed, as well as a track, "Jungle Steppers", pulled fully-formed from the record. Like we said, it's out now, so check it.
