BOMB THE BASS
INTO THE DRAGON: EXPANDED EDITION

Bomb The Bass exploded into the UK singles charts with their debut single ‘Beat Dis’ in February 1988, reaching number 2. Initially little was known about the people behind the record as it appeared from nowhere and was released on an unknown label, Mister-Ron Records, as it turned out an imprint of Rhythm King Records. Reputedly costing £500 to record “Beat Dis” was a record of moment, marking the shift away from expensive recording studios to more homemade record making, utilising the increasingly affordable sampling technology that was at the heart of the band’s output. The band went on to produce 3 further albums (with another one on the way in 2010) that refused to be formula or predictable. The development of the sound/direction is a lasting feature of their output. This reissue features four bonus tracks, alternative mixes of their hit singles taken from the album; Beat Dis (Gangster Boogie Inc. Remix) #2, Don't Make Me Wait (Maximum Frequency Mix) #6, Megablast (Original Rap featuring Merlin) #6 and Say A Little Prayer (Get Down & Pray Mix) #10.
