Rooted in the Sound System scene in London but aware of hardcore underground music scenes world wide including techno, punk and noise, they endorse protest through music as well as other means! Using bass and delay as their primary instruments of protest they build intense, minimal dubs, which hypnotise, en-trance and inspire. With musical inspirations ranging from Jah Shaka to Ash Ra Tempel, a new distinctive sound continues to develop at every new recording session.
This debut Power Steppers LP was conceived after early Power Steppers tracks had great attention from the Lead With the Bass compilation, also released on Universal Egg (WWLP/CD008). The album features collaborations with both the Disciples (Precision Device) and the Ruts DC (Bass Communication) and tracks from the album were featured on the Power Steppers EP (eggy009) and the Power Steppers meets Disciples EP (eggy011). The album as a whole is a collection of uptempo, electronic, hi steppers - dubwise.
Tracklist and Credits: 1) A Taste of Bass 2) Precision Device 3) Bass Exploration 4) Bass Communication 5) Liberty, Power and Bass 6) His Master's Bass 7) The Race Into Bass 8) Active Speaker 9) Any Bass Necesarry 10)Bass Expectations
