Basscamp - After the rain released

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:39:54 +0000

Basscamp’s album After the Rain is blend of Hip-Hop, Dub, Reggae and Funk. Released in Australia Feb 2010. Two years after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Southern Face, New Zealand’s Basscamp Soundsystem are back with a follow-up that pushes their multi-dimensional soundscape even further into the stratosphere. With a rich, global mix of reggae, hip-hop, and Pacific soul, After The Rain is a bold reflection of how far the collective has come since their inception in 2005.
With co-production by Paul Bimler (a.k.a Confucius) and DJ Stickyfingaz - both longtime stewards of the New Zealand scene - After The Rain features collaborations with longtime Basscamp members Switch, KP and Matiu Te Huki, along with vocal contributions from MCs JDubs and Aeries, raggaists Chanter and Zareb, and a stunning hook from songstress Shia on ‘Mic Seductress’. BASSCAMP: AFTER THE RAIN (INR003): Chart-moving New Zealand dub collective Basscamp return with After The Rain, a hit-packed excursion into new territory. Deftly walking a sonic tightrope between the band’s classic dub approach and slick, International Hip Hop and Rap, After The Rain includes the acclaimed single ‘Weekends (Give It Up)’, featuring superstar vocalist Claudja Barry. Definitely a release not to miss, After The Rain marks the worldwide rise of Basscamp to chart prominence. Released in Australia through Foreigndub and distributed via Vitamin Records.
The first single, ‘Weekend’, features a sample of Claudja Barry’s 70s disco hit, ‘Give It Up’, and premiered at #4 on eMusic’s dub singles chart.
Meanwhile, After The Rain hit #2 on eMusic’s dub album chart just three days after its release. “We try to make our riddims as heavyweight and as hard-hitting as possible”, says Bimler. “That’s our main focus. We’re a soundsystem that likes to blend our reggae with our hip-hop. That’s what Basscamp is about.” After The Rain is a freshly energized sound that’s decidedly more live than Southern Face, yet even more focused.
