One of the most innovative names in dubstep grabs control of our exclusive DJ mix this week – the very talented and all-round affable chap, Bass Clef – otherwise known as Ralph Cumbers.
As well as creating various twisted dub brilliance – which manages to be both heavy and highly palatable – Ralph is also a dab hand on the trombone (a criminally neglected instrument), which he makes full use of throughout his work, adding a natural, brassy warmth to the dark landscapes evoked by modern electronic dub.
And he’s also nay too shabby when it comes to mixing tunes, as his exclusive Clash podcast demonstrates. The first of our DJs to include the genius Dorian Concept, Ralph then works his way masterfully through L-VIS 1990, Hudson Mohawke, a few Latino numbers and some Bass Clef’d-up Altern-8, as well as choice cuts from Clef’s fine new album, ‘May The Bridges I Burn Light The Way’, released earlier this month.
45 minutes of wonky dance, innovative dubstep and Latino folk, superbly stitched together. Bass Clef – win. Just in case you haven’t already gathered – I really can’t recommend this one enough.
