I’m pleased to announce the availability of my brand new EP – Ban Hammers. It is the result of a collaboration between myself and various electronic producers based in the United States. The producers who collaborated on this project are Leo Rapture, Nekkron99, Ken Flux Pierce and Mr. 25 Keyz.
The premise was quite simple, the various featured producers were asked to submit a finished instrumental backing track just lacking bass lines. I then attempted to record first take improvisations reacting to the music on first listen. I added a few overdubs here and there and a bit of editing but essentially what you hear are those first ideas as close as possible. The whole project from start to finish was in less than a week.
1. Eden Palace featuring Leo Rapture
2. Crunch Time featuring Nekkron99
3. Stingy featuring Ken Flux Pierce
4. Could’ve Sworn featuring Mr.25 Keyz
I suppose what we have here are the first instrumental bass led tracks that i have ever released. I have played bass on hundreds of releases prior to this but mostly either in band or session roles. This however is a unashamedly a bass driven project. I used my Bristol made custom Waghorn Gecko bass through a Sonuus Wahoo filter pedal for most of the sounds adding some MXR bass chorus to sweeten things a touch.

Love the idea! Did you give any instructions on theme or style?
Nice work! I definitely like the direction.
Nope no instructions other than no bass line. I set myself the challenge of trying to resist procrastination by going with the very first improvisation.
Digging, especially considering the rules and limitations (including time) you set for the project 🙂
