Skream - Bahl Fwd

[@jbbbbbbbb]

"When I played Berlin in 2005, before the first Tectonic Plates [a series of compilations released on Pinch's label Tectonic] had been released, I had Skream's "Bahl Fwd" on dubplate. I played in this weird venue, which was set in a bank vault and still had a caged-off safety deposit box room and everything: very small, with very thick walls and a decent soundsystem. While I was DJing, [grime MC] Jammer and his crew passed through, and when someone got on the mic this weird shit started happening. The bass would get ridiculous, and the mixer would be bouncing on the table like a glass. When I dropped "Bahl Fwd", a pile of flyers went up into the air like confetti and I had to catch the mixer and hold it down. I thought we'd hit the resonant frequency of the room. I worked out that every time the MC was getting hype, they were standing in front of the speaker while the bass of the mic was on full; you got bass feedback through the mic sending the place so mad that you felt that you were being crushed. I thought I was going to die in that room. That tune is one of the heaviest dubstep tracks that's ever been cut, because he didn't have any EQ on the bass: full power, untouched bass." - Pinch

Joe B Reading that Vice article has got me looking forward to DMZ 10 so much!

[@liamdonoghue7581]

+Joe B love this comment

[@henrybrowning7649]

sounds like the venue was tresor but i assume pinch would know of tresor

[@SUPERPUKE]

Joe B this comment gave me chills

[@dimvw484]

everytime I get on KZbin and listen to this song, I read your comment. Its this weird connection I feel when you say this. First Dubstep party's back then were fucking amazing, what a sound.

[@lgnlint]

Those fuckin rolls on the bongos

[@MercurialCorsair]

They got me too

[@wesbr193]

the bass is powerful and the melody is perfect,this and midnight request line are some of the greatest dubstep songs ever

[@ErikatheWitch]

I agree... what a shame that he plays tech house now

[@Mysteerisignaali]

@@ErikatheWitch u play this :9 he already delivered this track for us to play

[@ErikatheWitch]

@@Mysteerisignaali lol I don't understand what you mean loool

[@01seb83]

@ErikatheWitch He's saying: "You go and play it then (as a DJ I'm guessing). Skream has already given us the material and we can keep the sound alive ourselves" - makes complete sense to me, music is a generational thing and no single person can be expected to play one sound their whole life, it's a shared movement.

[@guruG509]

This is purest dubstep from sacred soil of UK and I Am HIGH

[@Dukey22]

Such a great song, fell in love on the first listen which was 5 days ago.

[@mushromsz]

Yes yes, dubstep is never dead, it will live within us forever, that being said theres still a lot of artists, representstives, promoters and radioheads that still have energy to push it to the limit if needed x

[@Knetterkoekje]

Glad I decided to go through some oldies and stumbled upon all those older tracks of skream I have never heard before. I love finding amazing music.

[@federicogizmo7897]

It's been 6 years and i still not found a track whith dat bass,this is just the perfect dubstep track

[@mazafuzle]

Any 69 song is better than this .....

[@keeprful]

the type of track that makes the whole room pulsate 🙏

[@MrTrueTootie]

My neighbours loved this so much they got the police to come listen to it too :)

[@grahamkelly8662]

[@clxmasisland6724]

Hopefully this new sound will be somewhat successful in 2023. Can't stop llistening.

[@Gawillamon]

lovin the bongos or congas or whatever on this track. silkie does some similar things on his tracks. he's one of my favorite dubstep artists.

[@CsRLG]

Till this day, still one of my top favorite songs

[@zaccbamz]

One of Oliver’s best tunes along with midnight request line 😮‍💨 this puts any system/ speaker to the test 🔊🔊bangerrr

[@MrWobbleWomp]

I fucking love those drums. Skream is king.

[@andrewmontreal]

ahhhh,,,2005-2006,,the year of Skream,,thank you very much,,i have a video of my car`s windshield cracking playing dubstep

[@dimvw484]

One of the best tracks ever made

[@unfinishedmonkeyrecords]

I remember getting this disk the day it came out... such an epic feel

[@pissluffarskov]

holy shit

[@Bootstrap193]

that melody that comes in a 0:55 makes it those percs are sick too

[@TheSoundCenter]

That lead synth is so hauntingly catchy....

[@oddhead]

this track will never get old. love the sub!

[@Up2Trbl]

i listened to this on some "cheap" turtle beaches and couldn't figure out why everyone was going crazy so I went and got my other headphones and I think I was teleported to a parrelel universe but I don't know because the bass made me go blind

[@fullup91]

Headphones? Try the chest obliterating sub bass of FWD nightclub 😉

[@rajbagade3477]

this guy Skream he gets it ..

[@MorganMoogle]

Played this down Battersea Labour Club on the internet jukebox the last few weeks and even old geezas and gals in their 60s were boppin with bass faces and asking me the name of the song. Timeless and genreless. Music is music.

[@pushthetempo2]

Wish Id seen that!

[@thapoint09]

Those bongos are crazy.

[@GreenLaneer]

,this was my favourite tune to play through my subs back in the day

[@tuckergiberson2482]

I remember the first time hearing this back in 2010.

[@boteee.777]

My ears are actually VIBRATING

[@logoscafe]

1:22 with the percussion break is what makes the song. My god.

[@official_abieks]

This is insane!

[@filipdzero8739]

Still the FATTEST, DIRTIEST LOUDEST and HEAVY bass I've ever heard in a tune! What a masterpiece!

[@grahamkelly8662]

The whole of the 7inch tectonic plates are incredible. I bought them all around 2008-210. I’ve not been able to use my decks for way too long and I just come across this tune by accident and it sounds better then ever. I’m sitting next to my decks and 1000+ vinyl and I’m so gutted that I can’t play/mix em. 😢 I love music ❤️

[@samosborne37]

people on laptop speakers will only be able to hear half the song. dat bass

[@jonaszeidler8804]

***** Wtf :'D Good joke bro

[@dog666]

heard it on the laptop, saw your comment, plugged into the hifi ..... ;)

[@bassbunny1]

I'm so late on dis shit I fukn love skream almost all his joints better late then never o for sure

[@999rocksteady]

It doesn't get any better than this

[@moket123]

@Reapexx Grime is actually a Garage derivative, same as dubstep

[@Brazen1234]

one of the hardest.

[@MainMackDaddy]

*plays at rave, speaker catches fire, firemen get seizures and the rave continues as everyone burns

[@kocarevkocarevski7658]

Honestly, this bass might exactly do just that.

[@will-uf9pd]

still the bassiest tune ive ever heard even now

[@xorbdubstep]

Check out Cotti and Cluekid - The Legacy.

[@ss_hat]

Try Skream's Lets get Ravey mix of La Roux - In for the kill, for low sub bass Breakage - Rain, this one gets as low as 32hz which is unreachable to most people because of their systems

[@volcommaveric]

Everything in my room is shaking, no idea how it looks past this room though...I'm kind of scared to look.

[@Moonlight-Charm]

hahaha love it

[@morgengabe1]

Such a huge tune.

hi random guy from 9 years ago, come and listen to this masterpiece again

[@savvasxiros]

Still a banger-2021

[@NoName_NoTitle]

That's why you don't put maxx bass on when listening to songs. Listen to songs like they are intended without any equalisation or whatever.
