Addison Groove: This Is It / Make Um Bounce 12″

Following the amazing “Footcrab” and “It’s Got Me” singles comes the third session of hype forward bass beats from Addison Groove, this time with a more obvious Chicago slant. This fresh style in bass music (which is compatible with Ramadanman’s huge “Work Them”) relies on stabbing repitition, huge 808s and manic drum programming (kind of like juke but from a UK angle) to work the floor into a frenzy and “This Is It” will certainly do just that. “Make Um Bounce” takes it deeper with hints of acid and a hypnotic groove that just don’t quit. Keep a look out for this dude, he’s on a roll…
