Booty Bass and Skank Face from Lucky Dip
for Keep Hush (Edinburgh)
Booty Bass and Skank Face from Lucky Dip bring their Edinburgh energy to Keep Hush with a set that defies categorization, mashing up UK drill, rock, breakbeat, and everything in between. It's the kind of chaotic, genre-blurring session that makes you grateful for Shazam, even as you struggle to keep up with the BPM jumps from 146 to 167. The vibe is rowdy and unpretentious, a party where the only rule is to move, and the DJs are clearly having as much fun as we are.
Technically, with a BPM average of 155.3 and keys like 12A and 3B, the set maintains a high-energy pace, using breaks and drops to keep the momentum while the low-end at 63.3% ensures a bass-heavy foundation. The mixing is playful and abrupt, stitching together tracks like NYCO's 'Fucking Em Up' with its breakbeat frenzy and Queens of the Stone Age's 'Go With The Flow' for a guitar-driven interlude. Notable tracks include the opener 'Tion Wayne & Russ Millions - Body (Remix)', a drill anthem that immediately grabs attention, followed by curveballs like Busta Rhymes' 'Break Ya Neck' and Zido's 'Sit On My Face (SOMF)' for pure, unadulterated fun.
The journey starts with the aggressive bars of 'Body', peaks with the rock-infused chaos of 'Go With The Flow', and closes on GEKO DOT's 'YouThoughtIWasFeelin'You?', leaving us in a state of joyful confusion, grateful for a full tracklist that refuses to play by the rules.
