Description
Every Tuesday on Top Flight, journalist Chal Ravens traces connections between underground bass music from around the world, playing gqom, grime, ballroom, B’more, dancehall, jungle and everything in between. On this episode, Chal is joined by Logos, architect of the “weightless” grime sound and cofounder of the Different Circles label (along with his regular collaborator Mumdance). Ahead of his second full-length album, _Imperial Flood_, the London-based artist and DJ talks about the speculative literature and experimental computer music – from J.G. Ballard to the Chain Reaction catalogue – that shaped this dark and challenging new record. Next, Hyperdub signing Mana introduces his own debut album for the UK bass label, a surreal, almost operatic adventure through otherworldly electronics called _Seven Steps Behind_. On top of that, Chal has the best new releases from the world of bass, breaks and riddims, including new music from Falty DL & Benny Ill and Mexico’s Hypersonics label.
