Generation Bass presents Transnational Dubstep



"the nastiness previewed in the minimix plays out to one of the dopest dubstep mixes we’ve ever heard. That’s not hyperbole, that’s the power of transnational musical styles brought together over the one rhythmic style that can hold them all on the same canvas." { MTV IGGY on Transantional Dubstep Compilation - }

Transnational Dubstep is the first major compilation to document the fusion of dubstep and global roots music. It has been conceptualized & compiled by co-owner/editor & the driving force behind the Generation Bass blog, DJ UMB in cooperation with Six Degrees Records.
By utilizing influences from Cumbia to Balkan-Chinese to Indian-Middle Eastern to Japanese-the songs on this unique collection represent the cutting edge vanguard of a whole new electronic sub-genre that is ready to capture the ears and imaginations of listeners world-wide.
DJ Umb and his partner Vincent Koreman [co-owner/editor & founder of the blog] had the arduous task of choosing from over 300 tracks locked inside DJ Umb’s Transnational Dubstep vault. The pair narrowed the tracks down to 30 for licensing and then Umb finalised the selection and sequencing.
Check out the promo mix below…

Mad Decent
A wild collect of dub sounds coming from all over the world

Flore (Botchit & Scarper/Mixmag)
With only a first listen, i can say i'm highly impressed by the quality & the variety of the tracks, the selection is very smart cos i think all the tracks fit good together...looking forward to include some of these tracks in my mix

Schlachthofbronx (/Mad Decent/Man Recordings/ Best Dance Act in the World)

“MASTERPIECE”

DJ Nappy (Architect of Thugstep)
You can tell that deep thought was put into track selection and layout. In a world of over-synthesized 2-step, this is a refreshing journey in audio. Organic sounds, and a treat to listen to as a whole. Quite pleasurable to vibe out to on a rainy winter afternoon"

Son Of Kick
"Overall deep and well produced. Def pick a couple tunes for the deeper shows"

Bert On Beats (Man Recordings)
"Most definitely one of my favourite and one of a kind compilation! Fleck& FishFinger, BandishProjekt and Celt Islam are winners here!"

Eastenders (Balkan Dance Act)
Your cd is one of the best compilations since the early days of "asian
underground" - brilliant!!

Heartbreak (Moombahton/Moombahcore)
This is the sound... The future of dubstep... A fresh new outtake on a killer sound and genre..

Permanent Damage Records
Think that someone had to do this type of release….has lots of potential to run and run - great concept.

PATHAAN [Worldwide]

This release is essential for discerning ears & undoubtedly encompasses an interesting new musical direction for fusion !

Maduro [Octofoil Records/Electronic]

"The Transnational Dubstep compilation by Generation Bass is by far the best selection of ethnic dubstep I've come across thus far - this is truly defining a moment in music"
