Bassrock Records have been one of the main players on the bassy end
of breakbeat for more than half a decade, and it's with great sadness
that
thisisbreaks.com hears they're taking an indefinite
holiday. Luckily label mainstay Backdraft (above) have thrown down an
epic retrospective mix to remind you of all the best Bassrock moments.
Meanwhile, label boss Paul Bassrock answers the questions for our
regular Label This! series
Click here to download the free Backdraft retrospective mixWhats it all about then?Bassrock is a UK (south west) based breaks label with heavy old skool
jungle influences and filthy big basslines! We started off in 2004 and
have featured artists and remixers including Tayo, Sonz of Mecha,
Control Z & Screwface, 30HZ, Baobinga, Backdraft, Autobots, Bill
Vega & New Decade, Jinx, Afghan Headspin (this is where the list
goes on ... and on).
Who's involved?As De La Soul said "Me , Myself & I" (Paul Bassrock). Artwork is
produced by a friend of mine, Propulsion, who I need to give massive
thanks to for all the last-minute changes that we always go through.
If your label was a football team, which would it be?One of the shit ones.
Who's the artist on the label who gives you hope that you might one day pay off that mortgage?Everyone who has ever been involved. Special mention to Backdraft
though; they have been a massive help from the start and they're a
really, really nice couple.
On a scale of one to 10, how "breaks" are you?9/10 (nobody's perfect)
If you could be one other breaks label, who would it be and why?CDR, everyone seems to play their tracks ...
What are your plans for the future?We're actually taking a bit of a break now hence the mix showcasing the
last five years. So, as of now, no plans whatsoever. Rebel Bass IV's
Slim Blue is the last 12" and release for the forseeable future. But
... never say never!
If you were not doing breaks, what style would you take on?Dubstep, without a doubt.
What's your biggest pet hate, music-wise?Snobbery, pigeonholers and the people who hate on other styles. I think
if you're a lover of music, you should be able to respect anything that
someone has put part of their self into making.
Where can we find your music?Vinyl in good record shops, try
www.droprecords.co.uk or
www.chemical-records.com or maybe
www.juno.co.uk. For MP3 and WAV, try

especially DJ Wink (aka The Arsonist), Darkus from HPZ , Paul &
Karrie Backdraft, and Zac at Z-Audio.
