Done Me Wrong / Bax **Black Vinyl Repress**

£11.66 (£13.99 incl. VAT)

Bax is back. First released in 2011, Moscas UKG homage, Bax, did big things when it landed. Almost 10 years on, its time for a repress.

Though Mosca missed the golden era of garage in the nineties, he caught on to darkside pioneers such as Horsepower Productions, Benny Ill and El-B later on. A blend of homegrown British styles lies at the core of his electronic music influences, early dubstep, jungle, minimal grime and bassline, which hed experienced first-hand at Sheffields legendary Niche club. (Little known fact: The name Bax is a partial nod to Steve Baxendale, the man behind Niche).

All these elements coalesced in the studio and the two-tracker materialised in a couple of days. Both sides of the record do their thing on the floor; Bax with its now infamous My DJ is live in the place sample, that earworm melody and a ruffneck b-line.

On the flip Done Me Wrong sees Mosca incorporate several key garage tropes; the bassline swinging alongside soulful vocals (which get sliced and diced), not forgetting that cheeky rewind.
