Toulouse appears to be a proper soundsystem town, a real Dub and Bass music hot spot. We were happy to get in touch with with Stefan Dubs from the former Folklore crew, running a handmade soundsystem with up to 6 full super scoops. He released several records under Folklore and later Maquis Son Sistém, started a liveact which meanwhile runs under Sòn Du Maquís, organises soundsystem gatherings and raves around town with the Comité Des Fêtes collective.
Luckily we were able to invite Jan Loup and him to Leipzig in 2023 to shake Bassmaessage with their soundsystem, including the amazing multi-track tape into vintage FX & mixing desk performance. If you ever have the chance to catch them live, you'll hear a special vividly rooted analogue sound, incorporating modern influences, covering various BPM from 120 to 170, but definately bass heavy all along!
"Puur Dub" has a the same instant reminescence of digital reggae skanking, but adding a brilliant layer of Think break incarnations on top - killing advanced sub connoiseeur meetings with ease. On the first check this plate may appear a bit different from the label's cutalogue, but if you settle in these lush textures and twisted dubs you'll see: this is a definitive 45seven sound!
