Does the name Bomb The Bass mean anything to you? Because it means something to me. When I was nine years old, my family moved to London for a year — 1988 to 1989, right in time for the Second Summer Of Love. As a dedicated Top Of The Pops viewer, I got really used to hearing production from the UK sample wizard Tim Simenon, otherwise known as Bomb The Bass. Simenon co-produced Neneh Cherry’s international smash “Buffalo Stance,” and he made dizzy, chopped-up hits of his own like “Beat Dis” and “Megablast.” Simenon still goes by Bomb The Bass, but I happened to be there for his moment. So I instantly perked up when I heard line “Bomb The Bass with a brand new jam” on Confidence Man’s new single “Young London.”
The post Confidence Man – “Young London” appeared first on Stereogum.
