Yemz shells breaks and dubstep
Keep Hush Live: Conducta presents @ Sawmills, Bristol
Yemz at Conducta's Bristol party is doing exactly what it says on the tin: shelling breaks and dubstep. This is a UK garage and breakbeat set for the purists, where every switch-up is designed to make you pull a face and grab your mate's shoulder. Vibe: A packed, low-ceilinged venue like Sawmills, sticky underfoot, with the bass so thick it feels like a physical presence in your chest. Technical: Averaging 137.5 BPM, this set lives in the sweet spot for UK garage and breaks, with 12A as the predominant key for its bright, energetic feel.
The energy is brutally low-focused at 0.76 avg, meaning the sub-bass is the undeniable star, with mids at 0.21 providing rhythmic chatter and vocal hooks, and highs kept minimal. Mixing is sharp and energetic, using quick cuts and double-drops to maintain a frenetic pace, with the BPM staying tight to keep the garage swing relentless. Crate Digger: 'Wordcolour - Rapture (Shrooms in the Club Mix)' is a phenomenal opener, all skippy drums and warped bass. 'Josi Devil - M.e.S' feat.
TSVI is a darker, percussive weapon. Dropping the 'Energy 52 - Café Del Mar' remix is a genius bit of trance-garage crossover. 'Redlight - What You Talking About!?' is a classic reload moment, and 'Interplanetary Criminal - Races' brings in pure, joyful UKG. Journey: From the opening skip of 'Rapture', building to peak-time heaters like 'Café Del Mar', and closing with the jacking house of 'Baelien jacks house', this full tracklist is a relentless tour of bass-heavy UK sounds.
