BS003 — OldGold x The Widdler — Imperial/Helktram x Karnage — Rat Catcher

It’s not often that you get a two track release featuring four established solo artists, but that’s exactly what Banana Stand Sound are offering with their latest 180gr 12” outing. As their slogan suggests, there’s always bass in the Banana Stand, and this release from OldGold, The Widdler, Helktram and Karnage is no exception.

The A side comes from none other than social media rascal and co-owner of Silent Motion Records, Oldgold, and dubstep community pillar The Widdler. When he’s not up to no good doing things like spoiling the last Star Wars movie on Facebook, Rolando, — aka OldGold — produces a raw, no holds-barred iteration of dubstep which can be heard in his collaboration with American dubstep pioneer and legendary TwitchTV streamer The Widdler.

A heavily processed sample in typical Widdler style from an episode of Star Trek attempts to prepare you for a journey into ‘another dimension’ in the intro of Imperial, but it’s difficult to be prepared for the onslaught of tribal drums, lush chords, and of course, some of that Banana Stand bass that follows. The track makes exceptional use of tension and release, and empty spaces; something to be expected from a track involving veteran The Widdler; but if you’ve been following Oldgold’s music during his rise to prominence in the last few years, you’d know it’s something he makes good use of in his own productions as well.

All in all, the release is another solid addition to the Banana Stand Sound’s catalogue and a fresh addition to one-forty bass music as a whole, incorporating plenty of fresh ideas that would both sound good on a big system and would keep you replaying the tracks at home as well.

Also upcoming from the Banana Stand Sound team is Epicenter 11 fortified with the infamous Tsunami Bass Sound System and artists including Oxossi, Fill Spectre, ADP, Old Gold, Distinct Motive and Underslung it is sure to be a night of chest punching rhythms.
