Electronic Talents #8: Julio Bashmore

Whilst the whole of Bristol has been half-stepping to the left in a jungle haze, there’s one man with a retrofuturistic plan.

Matthew Walker, AKA Julio Bashmore, has a vision, and it involves mutating many of the exciting developments in house, funky and bass towards a classic form: “In my head I have my own idea of how I want house to sound like and it doesn’t really fit into any other templates. Grooving, with a lot of emotion and quite often a hefty amount of bass. I know that’s been done before but what a lot of people don’t appreciate is that the scene at the moment is more about a vibe than genres.” We await his next deep communication.

Essential 3: ‘Chop & Screw EP’ (Deep Teknologi), ‘Battle For Middle You’, ‘World Peace’, ‘Steel Drums’ (Bashmore Remix)
