Herve 'Ghetto Bass'

Herve (how do I add the accent?) or Joshua Harvey is a producer & remixer of many guises, recording as The Count & Sinden (my personal fave) and a host of others I can't be bothered to list but that feature prominently on his Ghetto Bass mix compilation. He's remixed Lily Allen, Chemical Brothers & The Prodigy recently - he's become the producer de jour if you need a brain crunchingly ravey yet bass-y remix. Well done him.
It's difficult to render in text the ear mangling amazing riff / noises that Herve manages to wrest from his machines, swawohh wammm maybe? but all the tracks have - as the title of the mix suggests - gigantic dancefloor friendly basslines. The frentic pace slows a little on CD2 with some darker dubsteppy tracks from Darqwan & Skream - though for the dubstep layperson, ie me it never gets to the more somnolent moments of a Burial that you might expect. Overall it's a great melange of electro, dubstep, breaks & techno and there's a superb Herve remix of Human Resource's classic 'Dominator'. Though it did give my wife a headache.
