Beat Dis - Bomb The Bass - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Few tracks capture the restless, inventive spirit of late-1980s London quite like Bomb The Bass’s "Beat Dis." Tim Simenon, the mastermind behind the project, stitched together a dizzying array of samples, breakbeats, and cut-up funk to create an anthem that helped define the big beat and sampledelic movements. Released at a time when house and hip-hop were just finding their footing in the UK, "Beat Dis" stands out for its fearless bricolage—think brass stabs, movie snippets, and streetwise rhythms, all colliding in a delirious, dancefloor-ready tapestry. The cultural impact of "Beat Dis" is hard to overstate. It broke into the UK charts in 1988, introducing mainstream listeners to the possibilities of sample-based production, and it paved the way for a new generation of British electronic artists. For collectors, this album isn’t just a piece of nostalgia—it’s a living document of an era when boundaries between genres were being joyously dismantled. Spin it, and you’ll hear the roots of modern electronic music’s playful, crate-digging attitude. Essential for anyone fascinated by the evolution of dance music and the art of the sample.
