Bleep

Get On Down records present a crucial 7” single reissue stripped from Mantronix highly influential 1985 debut The Album. The standout cut ‘Bassline’ sees Kurtis Mantronik, together rapper with MC Tee, construct a visionary blend of timeless electro-infused hip-hop, owed mainly to the producer’s mastery of Roland’s drum machines and the legendary TB-303. The squelchy bass and snapping handclaps still sound fresh three decades on – this sound will never go out of fashion.
