Here is a review of the release courtesy of Doktor Krank:
"New, hot, Canadian label Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) has released a dope compilation including tracks by leading Western Canadian glitch-hop, bass-heavy producers, featuring stomping music by the mighty crew of Knight Riderz, as well as Dewey DB & Ill-Esha - founders of the hub of glitch hop community: Glitch Hop Forum, and other pioneering producers already mentioned on my blog, like JmeJ or Jay Wikid plus new names for me (but definitely not for the Canadian headz) - Sharps, Mat the Alien or Audited Beats.
According to the label’s statement “Emergency.Broadcast.System set out with a mission to release not only music that bangs in the clubs, festivals and streets but also is simultaneously essential music for your headphones and home listening” This compilation delivers as promised, offering not only decent whomp & stomp beat and super glitchy bass, but also full-fledged, well-developed and consistent music compositions. Knight Riderz lead the gang of merry bassterds with their two super fat productions- an instant classic Play and Glitch-Mobesque - Key to the City. Mat the Alien drops sick bass hop banger called simply Lazerbass - for me the highlight of the entire release next to Knight Riderz’ Play - while another newcomer (?) Sharps evokes quite a different emotions in his beautiful deep sub-bass meditation The Vast Expanse. Add to this JmeJ’s or Jay Wikid’s bass improvisations, funky bass in The Grand Slam Dunk by Ill-Esha and heavy-bass cinematic score in Dewey DB’s - The Adventures of Albert the Giraffe and you’ll get a full picture of the versatile, eclectic compilation which stands out from the sea of booooring distortions, wobbles, drills, weak production skills and monochromatic tunes with single patterns repeated all over which have flooded the bass scene for some time already. I highly recommend you ‘saturate your ears with all those delectable details’ (to shamelessly borrow the mottoe of glitch.fm Internet radio) - I guarantee you’ll be satisfied! "
It has been a while since the last update, but I can assure you that there is much to come within the near future. I have been fortunate enough to be granted the opportunity to take over the reigns at Emergency Broadcast System, and look forward to many releases within the upcoming year! I am passionate about creating a platform to expose bass music of all niches, and aim to release quality music, regardless of the genre. To appease all of you until the next emergency broadcast system release, here is the latest from some of the artists features in our debut compilation - this is not a test.
UNO by Audited Beats aka Audit
A funky latin influenced moombahton track from Audit!
12th Dimension by Knight Riderz
Here we have previews of the tracks from the upcoming Knight Riderz 12th Dimension release. The title quite honestly speaks for itself - Multi dimensional glitch hop master pieces.

I hope you've enjoyed these tracks, as the future contains many releases of this nature from Emergency.Broadcast.System. If you have any questions, would like to be a featured artist, or have any recommendations for upcoming releases, please email me at ebsrelease@gmail.com
