bass toast: golden spunk
Francisco Espregueira
Introducing Bass Toast’s work in this platform might be overdue, as the half-Belgian/half-Portuguese producer and his Cosmic Breeze Records imprint became ones to keep under close watch. Dropping next friday, Golden Spunk is a wonderful multicultural 4-track EP. Filled with warm chords and soulful broken beats, Bass Toast has an approach that has seen him spend the last few years blending different genres into percussive textures of both syncopated and straight-forward rhythms.
Composed with percussive jazz-infused house broken beat tracks, this EP showcases Bass Toast’s outstanding easiness in jumping from one genre to the other. The provocative name refers to the feeling of courage, that the EP contains. Golden Spunk is inspired in this particular era that we live, filled with daily pressure all around - determination and courage are both paramount to one’s understanding of what’s needed in our individual and collective journeys. Available on Bandcamp, the guys at Cosmic Breeze Records (Bass Toast himself and Toolate Groove) should consider vinyl as the premium media to satisfy our collection’s needs.
