VIDEO/DOWNLOAD: BUILD003 ft. Baobinga, Ginz and CosminTRG


To mark the 3rd release on Baobinga's BUILD label - a split 12" featuring two collaborations with Bao going toe to toe with Joker collaborator Ginz on the A side, 'The Good Stank,' and head to head with CosminTRG on the blazing B, 'I Get Ruff' - they've linked up with You Naughty Monsters, to make a video clip teaser featuring their music, zombies and high rises:



And in another act of promotion Captain Bao has released a b2b mix with CosminTRG into cyberspace which you can kop at the url below.

With a unique take on two approaches - the g-funk era, squelch sonics of the Ginz collab and a tough as Carol off Eastenders face house tempoed highlight on the flip - Baobinga is cementing his hold on the vinyl market. Though the CosminTRG collab wins out thanks to in no short measure to is nuttiness and intensity, both tracks have a distinct appeal that work well in a basement with a big rig.

RECOMMENDED: Baobinga - Ride It/Ride It (Untold Remix) [BUILD]


Untold’s 'Gonna Work Out Fine EP' was a floor stopper, the instigator of countless “what the fuck is this?” moments in the middle of a night. But if ‘Stop What You’re Doing’ is still enough to halt a dancefloor in its tracks entirely, it’s a soft and welcoming hug compared with some of the tracks he’s been piecing together since. ‘Bad Girls,’ his contribution to Fabric’s Elevator Music compilation, jerked back and forth like an unruly child having a full-on temper tantrum, and his remix of Baobinga’s ‘Ride It’ hits the neural circuits so hard it’s nigh on impossible to tell whether that’s pleasure or pain hitting your gut. An exercise in barely restrained dementia, the track’s central drum motif circles in an ever-tightening loop around trademark Untold bass stabs and twisting, pained sampleplay. It’s intense to the point of inducing nausea, and I’m still trying to work out whether that’s entirely a good thing.

Next to such a wonderfully sadistic piece of work, Baobinga’s original never quite stood a chance. Which is a shame in a way, as it’s an addictive – if slightly straightforward – march through what-u-call-it territory, riding off a cheeky cowbell riff that wouldn’t sound out of place on a DFA record circa 2002. Its precise house groove can’t help but lack some of the rhythmic fluidity of his earlier ‘Tongue Riddim’ release though, as limb-flailing acrobatics are substituted for head-nods to a tight four-to-the-floor pulse.
