Support This Channel / videos80s
Bomb the Bass is an electronic music alias of English musician and producer Tim Simenon.
As a name, Bomb the Bass came from Simenon's approach to collaging and mixing sounds whilst DJing in the mid- to late 1980s; he says "samples were either scratched in live or sampled and looped on top of the rhythm section. So the concept was one of bombing the bass line with different ideas, with a collage of sounds. Bombing was a graffiti term for writing, like people would 'bomb' trains or whatever
"Bug Powder Dust" is a song by Bomb the Bass, featuring the vocals of Justin Warfield, released as the band's eighth single in 1994 as the first single from the Clear album.
Bug Powder Dust reached number 24 in the UK charts, makes an appearance in many rundowns of 'classic' British hip-hop and rap tracks, and was voted Select Magazine's single of the year in 1994.
The track incorporates a bassline by Alphonso Johnson, as performed on the title track of Flora Purim's album, Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly. Johnson is probably best known as having been with the jazz-fusion group Weather Report.
A video for the song was directed by Alex Winter.
The words "bug powder dust", and several other lyrics, are references to American writer William S. Burroughs, specifically to his groundbreaking 1959 novel, "Naked Lunch".

This was a banger and still is.
And will be 4evrr
This never gets old..
Just think, this existed in the same year Pulp Fiction came out and Cobain deleted himself. Thank you Blade Trinity Playlist
Way ahead of his time.
Like an exterminator running low on dust
I'm bug powder itchin' and it can't be trussed
Inter zone trippin' and I'm off to Annexia
I gotta get a typewriter that's sexier
The lyrics are utterly nuts levels of cool.
Shockingly low chart place for a great track
Agreed. Barely scratched the Top 40 but people have no taste
I know this from prodigy dirt chamber and i love it ❤
There is this really earthy sound blending rock and hip-hop perfectly you can see how this probably influenced chemical brothers and vice versa
This rocks hard to this day
Loved this song since day 1 when I bought the CD in the 90s, one of my favs!
I remember buying the 12" from 23rd Precinct in Glasgow. People didn't get it, then Liam Howlett stuck it on Dirtchamber.
Killer bass riff.
True
90s were
Good times
Yes. Bomb the Bass thanked Coldcut for finding the sample in the liner notes. Coldcut used it in their DJ Food track "Dark Lady", although in a much more mellow way. Originally from Brazilian singer Flora Purim's track "Open Your Eyes You Can Fly" from the '70s.
You bet 😉🤘
Fucker to play tho. Especially at the speed of the Liam Howlett remix on Dirtchamber sessions.
Naked Lunch is a wild ass movie.
Even wilder book!
It changes the way you see typewriters, that's for sure.
thank you so much for this
You are welcome 🙂
Got the 12inch love it banging tune takes me back
Justin has a similar vibe to Zack de la Rocha
In the words of Bill S Preston, Esquire, Excellent.
Forgot a bit about this, still a powerful driving groove, bang on!
the (Kruder & Dorfmeister Session) version is way better imo
Lol It's WAY lamer
It's way differenter but also great yes.
Gen X tripping on acid!
I love that the captions have the line as "I gotta get a typewriter that's sexier"
it's "... tight bite of the sex of ya"
Stone cold classic
90's Hits
GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A friend new I was looking for this and picked it up in a 2nd hand CD shop in town for me. The guy who sold it, was a fan of the Bestie Boys but hadn't heard it and asked if he could listen to it before he sold it as my friend bigged it up. He loved it so much he didn't want to sell it but settled for five minutes to shall I say, make a backup for his own collection :D
Tell that guy it's only piracy if Google corps. is not making money off it's theft.
Doug Wimbish innit?
JUSTIN WARFIELD
Bill S. Preston directing. It's really not a bad video.
У крюдера и дорфмайстера крутой микс
Well before it's time, kinda like Boots Riley, meets Jack de la Rocha... meets the modern Lack of Afro vibes... darn....
The true black meat i've found at last after 30 years on
One of the standouts
still certified fresh 3 decades on
Justin Warfield and directed by Alex Winters... Fuck yeah
Sounds a lot like Kid Rock stole this sound in the late 90s
Justin Warfield!
Super weird to think he's the same guy from She Wants Revenge. Versatile and talented for real
He said it was Justin Thatsallthatsit. Is what I thought.
🧨🧨🧨💯💯
Norman Cook owes him
Had this shit on Musicassingle back in the day....
Awesome!!!
That bass line is sick
Anyone asks anything, I'm not here 😎♥️🍍🍍🍬🍬
Yeah man, he's over there too
Dark lady- DJ Food
I love the description and I love you ♥️
sweet jam and vid. thx for posting.
I feel like I heard a cover of this more often. I don't know who it was.
Might be kruder and dorfmeister remix-- k and d sessions.
Number 1 jism
💯🔥
Sound muffled.
Sound is EXACTLY how it should be. Perfect like that. Would be shit any other way
You gotta get a typewriter that’s sexier
@@ingolfurarnar697 Exactly. Analogue and tape warmth and ever so slight distortion. Not tinny AF and clean and digital like nowadays and probably brickwalled and distorted in the _wrong_ way.
Always loved this! It also reminds me of Liam Howlett's Dirtchamber sessions mix. This is a banger that he used in that mix. BTB's Beat Dis & BPD are just but two of their boom, boom, bangers.
They can't make music as good as this anymore. Why? Because I don't hear it?
Old school hip-hop, acid-house, and Belgian Techno.
It makes you realise how good we/I had it!
Immer noch ein brutal geiler Sound! Auf derselben Wellenlänge wie the Prodigy, danke fürs hochladen
A little Naked Lunch influence, perhaps?
