Double CD released 2nd February 2009
“A Mix Of Bassline Sounds, Electro, Drum & Bass, Dubstep And House”
29 year old producer Hervé is a man of many names. You may know him as one half of The Count and Sinden duo and their world beating ‘Beeper’ EP on Domino Records. Or perhaps you know him from one of his many aliases, like Action Man, Young Lovers, Dead Soul Brothers and Voodoo Chilli or his super-group Machines Don’t Care. You may also know him as a remixer nonpareil, re-jigging everyone from Bloc Party and The Chemical Brothers through to Mark Ronson, Roisin Murphy and New Young Pony Club. But it is this free-wheeling, all encompassing ethos that has made him one of the most exciting things to happen to dance-floors in some time – his music is joyous, wide-ranging, multicultural and all-round damn good fun, it’s Ghetto Bass.
It’s this attitude which is borne out by this magnificently diverse DJ mix, a mouth watering spread of 36 tracks over two CDs which doesn’t so much break down barriers, it blows them wide open.
The machine-gun beats of SebastiAn’s remix of The Kills’ ‘Cheap and Cheerful’ sidles up next to the bonkers and madly infectious ‘Money’ by NASA (which corrals David Byrne, Seu Jorge and Ras Congo altogether), the dubstep smoulder of Skream’s 'Filth' sits comfortably with Buraka Som Sistema’s low-slung tropical funk, Mr Oizo’s dance-floor detonating 'Gay Dentist' cosies up to DJ Funk’s anthemic reworking of 'Let There Be Light' and Hervé’s many remixes are sprinkled liberally between the cream of the dance crop to produce a defiantly unique and marvellously varied sonic odyssey which gives weight to critics’ claims that he is “London’s hottest DJ” (Rolling Stone) and “one of the greatest remixers of all time” (DJ Magazine).
2009 will not only see Hervé release his debut mix compilation ‘Ghetto Bass’ but The Count & Sinden album will be released via Domino Records, the debut Hervé artist album drops later in the year and there is also a 2nd Machines Don’t Care album in the pipeline.
Oh and did we mention his label Cheap Thrills that brought us (amongst others) the massive Fake Blood ‘Mars’ (also featured on this CD, as an exclusive Hervé Edit)? Watch out for more from the label in 2009 including releases from Jack Beats, Detboi, Rico Tubbs and Zomby.
