BASS FRONTIERS featuring BAD COMPANY (BC RECORDINGS/UK)

'We are an anonymous collective misrepresented by an unpronounceable logo'

Having released their first 12" in December 1998 with 'The Nine / The Bridge' which landed at no.1 in the BBC Radio 1 (U.K) drum and bass chart for some weeks, BC Recordings made a very fast and searing impact on the Drum and Bass scene, and their music has inspired many who previously found no such inspiration in the genre, causing an excited Mixmag (U.K) to describe them as;

'One of the brightest hopes for dance music in the next millennium'

Following the debut single, the artists continued to damage the fabric of drum and bass with releases on Prototype and Virus Recordings. 'The Pulse' (Prototype U.K), and their collaborative E.P with 'Optical and Rymetime' on Virus, and 'The Fear E.P' which sold out in it's first day in the shops were to confirm their inescapable presence to a sceptical press and it was from here that the artists were inundated with a series of remixes; 'Heart go Boom' (Apollo 440), 'Something out there' (Ray Keith), and the classic 'Champion Sound' (Q Project) to name but a few, which further heightened their popularity and secured them work as DJ's the world over.

Described by F.H.M. Magazine as 'a bit of a landmark' , BC's latest excursion the 'Inside the Machine L.P' has surpassed and shocked many with it's quality, diversity and underground drive. It has been played worldwide by DJ's such as Andy C, Grooverider, Goldie, Roni Size, John Peel and Ed Rush & Optical as well as their equivalents in Europe, Japan and the United States. Having had strong favourable reaction from London publications such as 'The Face' and 'N.M.E' (The New Musical Express) and foreign publications as far afield as the New York 'Village Voice' the album has enjoyed a large amount of exposure both on paper and dancefloors world-wide. The artists describe the album as 'a chance to revamp the tainted image often associated with Drum and Bass'.

The four artists who make up the Icon, the only name yet to release on BC, are; Darren 'D-Bridge', Danny 'Fresh', Jason 'Maldini' and Michael 'Midnight' Vegas. These four had enjoyed great popularity previous to their existence as the Icon on their newly formed label. The four shared a vision 'To make the underground bigger' and 'To put the emphasis back on quality'. Now they share the spotlight as one of drum and bass's most exciting new production teams and DJs; 'the hottest new production team on the block' according to DJ Magazine.
