Newtype Rhythms returns with a new episode – teeming with bass and buoyancy courtesy of this week’s guest, Basic Rhythm.
Known previously as Imaginary Forces, the UK producer was a stalwart of genre-exploration, finding crevices between the worlds of techno, industrial and the abstract. When Basic Rhythm was born a few years back, the approaches were expanded upon within the genres of house, grime, jungle and beyond.
After releasing on labels such as Planet Mu and Sneaker Social Club, Basic Rhythm enters 2020 with an inaugural release on Raw Basics, featuring a VIP mix of “Break It Down”, a standout track from his 2016 LP aptly titled Raw Trax.
The distinctive nature of Basic Rhythm’s creative process is all over today’s episode of the show, as he presents a guest mix that delves between hypnotic and hyperactive – easing in upticks in percussive elements while brandishing bass-laden surprises just around the bend. Be sure to take a dive and crank on the subs, it’s about to get deep. His guest mix starts at 45 minutes in, with resident Sheepshead warming things up in the interim per usual.
