Bass Clef is an influential artist in the electronic music scene, known for his unique blend of dubstep, techno, and experimental sounds. With a career spanning over a decade, he has consistently pushed boundaries and defied genre conventions.

His music draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including *Ramadanman*, *Shackleton*, and *Born Under A Rhyming Planet*. Bass Clef's signature sound combines deep basslines, intricate rhythms, and atmospheric textures to create immersive sonic landscapes.

With releases on renowned labels such as *Peverelist*'s Livity Sound and *Rezzett*'s The Trilogy Tapes, Bass Clef has garnered critical acclaim for his innovative productions. His live performances are equally captivating, with his energetic stage presence and seamless mixing skills captivating audiences worldwide.

An expanded double vinyl edition of his acclaimed 2013 cassette Acid Tracts, originally released late last year via Cumbers' own Magic + Dreams label, its seven dense and immersive club tracks comprise his most expansive and multi-faceted work to date. They meld his modular synthesiser's hard-edged tones with grinding drum machine rhythms, traveling from the anarchic techno of 2012's Reeling Skullways album still further outward into the void. Acid Tracts represents the latest stage in the ongoing evolution of Cumbers' music. He first cut his teeth in Bristol mid last decade, crafting scuzzy takes on dubstep with an arsenal of analogue hardware and a trombone - an approach quite distinct from the software-based sub-bass experimentation of his then-contemporaries. In the years since, he's continued to follow a highly individual path, even as he's taken stylistic divergences towards cosmic techno (with Reeling Skullways and its subsequent singles) and the freeflowing improvised modular synth jams released under the Some Truths pseudonym. Acid Tracts is his first Bass Clef release to unite those two strands of his work, drawing the fluidity and instinct-led feel of his Some Truths music into tightly structured club tracks.
