- 1Julio Bashmore – Bubblin
LOC075
•
Open edition
Bashmore should need no introduction. Raised in Bristol, he was a key part of the UK’s ascendant underground house movement in the early 2010s, before conquering the global dance circuit with anthems like ‘Battle for Middle You’ and ‘Au Seve’ - records that have become part of the fabric of dance music and are still in heavy worldwide rotation today.
Bashmore stepped away from the circuit / circus after his debut album Knockin’ Boots, and although he’s quietly released some white label 12”s under the alias Bash in the interim (through Al Wootton’s Trule label and Conch, the label he runs with long-time collaborator T. Williams), ‘Bubblin’ marks his first music released as Julio Bashmore since 2015.
A sub-heavy UK Garage cut driven by a whirling Moog lead that recalls Thomas Bangalter in his pomp, ‘Bubblin’ has been club-tested in recent weeks by Bashmore’s close musical confidants, and arrives tweaked and tuned for peak time.
