Description

It started in Miami, quite by accident as a matter of fact. While experimenting with a new piece of equipment; the Roland 808 drum machine, producer Amos Larkins II accidentally left the sustain setting up on the bass knob while recording a track. The track was pressed on a 12" single and Amos carried a bunch to a local Mom & Pop store. When the owner put the 12" on the turntable, Amos thought to himself: "oh damn, I left the sustain up on the bass knob", but a few seconds into the track everyone in the store began grooving to the cut, saying things like "Wow, what is THAT,? that's hot! Etc." Three people immediately went up to the counter and bought copies of the 12". This unexpected reaction caused Amos to pursue the technique further, which eventually caused the industry to follow suit and the Miami Electro Bass scene was born. Recently, the famed producer went through his immense archive and put together a collection of lost tracks and rarities from that era and rediscovered the excitement of the Electro Bass movement. Included here are some nuggets from the era heard for the first time, and rare mixes of some well known hits such as Connie's "Funky Little Beat," and Import #1's "Set It Off," resulting in a fresh new look at the early productions that started the movement. All selections newly remastered.
