FIDGET HOUSE MUSIC BLOG from EMBEE (October 2009):
Ein sehr nettes Lied in meiner Inbox beweist, dass die Wiener nicht nur
gute Würstchen machen können, sondern auch Musik. Die Rede ist von
Shroombab - The Base (Bazuco Remix), was eins von 3 Liedern der The Red
Series Pt. 1 ist. Und das Verwunderliche ist: Es gefällt mir auch
ganz ohne Wobbles. Dafür besticht es mit coolen Beats und Basslines.
Neben dem Bazuco Remix ist noch das Original der Label-Cheffin
Shroombab und ein Remix der ebenfalls Wienerin Ravissa enthalten.
Als Download wird sie dann bei iTunes, Amazon-MP3, Juno-Download,
Nokia Music Store erhältlich sein.

The Base (Ravissa's Mosquito Remix)
The Red Series Pt. 1: Breakbeat, Electro, Fidget
After a hot start in autumn 2009, High Tension Digital quickly continues with
another bangin’ release: The Red Series, covering the genres Breakbeat,
Electro and Fidget House. The release striclty features artists from
Austria, showing the quality and high potential of artists within the
electronic music scene. “The Base” by label-owner Shroombab is starting
with some nice bells and stompin’ beats, but the real party starts when
the deep sub-bassline drops in. “Are you ready?”, asks a voice and
invites you to the dancefloor.
This flavour continues within the remix of Bazuco, a young Austrian
producer that devotes all his energy to the new genre fidget house.
Bazuco’s version of “The Base” has everything what a classy fidget tune
should have: snatched vocal snippets, pitch-bent basslines, rave-style
synth stabs over straight, banging and glitchy beats. You won’t resist
dancing to this stomper!
The second remix is provided by Ravissa, a female Austrian DJ &
producer that has devoted her life the the Vienniese clubscene for more
than ten years. Her “Mosquito Remix” combines her own different
influences of the electronic music scene with a strong affiliation to
techno. The 4/4 beats are dominated by a strong kick and are
complemented by a fithly synth that is heavily modulated and never
stays the same. If you like techno, you will move your ass to this!

Shroombab is a fixed institution of Austrias drum&bass-scene and

weekly print magazine "Falter". She was born in Upper Austria and

spinning records were strong. But not enough, she combined
creativity with her talent to organize things: She set up her own

a database for women in drum&bass, which got a quality reference
for female DJs especially in Eastern Europe.
2009 - 11 years after her start - she still delivers the same
quality as ever. Watch out for uplifting, spooky and moving
DJ-Sets and strong tunes besides genre-boarders.
