Full Description
The legendary follow up to Junglist, Bass Instinct
takes us on odyssey across '90s London as a young black man and his extended
family of friends, colleagues and fellow bike couriers navigate love, sex,
work, partying and the quest for the perfect bassline- all soundtracked by deep
cuts from the decades essential R&B.Bass Instinct's
raw and gritty style mixes poetry and realism in equal measure, unafraid to go
to the places most contemporary books shy away from. Caught up in a love of
black British bass culture and the way it overlaps with America's
profound musical legacy, Bass Instinct
looks at the magic of music and how one tune might shape your destiny to
become a DJ.
Back in print for the first time in thirty years, Bass Instinct Is both a time capsule,
capturing the colour and noise of a particular moment, and an enduring story of
the struggles of being young and hungry in the big, bad city.
