Hi kids, it’s your favourite bass-bambino Tim Turbo again.

After the first Tim Turbo Thursday was surprisingly some kind of succes here at seen. I want to give you the second installment today. This time it’s more electronic, way faster and longer, but Bass in your face as always. If you loved TTT#1 like the 400 others, that listend to it maybe subscribe to the podcast and get every new issue served hot and reeky on the forthcoming Thursdays. Also: Send us your tunes. If I like them I play them.

Speak along: It’s Thursday - Basses for the masses!

So ye, let´s kick this one off with a French girl. Why? Cause she looks pretty good on that picture, period. (© BHmagazine via via Bored and Beautiful)

Then let´s head on to this week´s Ghetto Palms column in which ehoughton@thefader.com searches for a micro-genre name describing the music Big Ship is currently putting out with artists like Jim Laden or Bramma “d bommer”. Have a listen:

Laden Blend:
Laden, “Really Like You”
Laden, “Time to Shine”
Laden, “Working Hard”

Bramma, “Guided by the Master”

Bramma, “Clouds Open”

Now what you call it?

Dunno? Well, maybe you´re too old for today´s Jamaican music and should stick to artist you know or art least thought you´d know. Lee Perry for example. His new album has been out for about one month now and, of course, it´s brilliant. A Bavarian radio station has a nice little feature on it. Scratch came, Scratch saw, Scratch conquered.

Hi kids, it’s me, Tim Turbo. The youngest bambino of Berlin’s famous anti-hippie-yard from Planet Rock Street.

My old bloggin-home Cyan Wait is on hold now and therefore I’m going to provide you with basses every thursday henceforth here at seen..

At Cyan Wait it was my job to search for new music and Emil was the writer. I’ll keep that principle and will do a weekly mix for you of what I liked in the last weeks. Some brand new tunes, some tunes are a few weeks old and some are just unknown until now. This time I start easy, because I don’t want to scare you with my extraterrestrial bass taste yet. It’s Thursday - Basses for the masses!

Heads up, „Tim Turbo Thursday“ is here. Bass in your face after the jump up…

While Bounty Killer sings “From Di Youth Dem Hearts” on Attorney Street, Jamaican papers present the following news:

Mark “judge me by my results” Shields won´t have his contract with the Jamaican Constabulary Force renewed (via Jamaica Observer) and

The death penalty will retain - however, lethal injection and the electric chair are discussed as an alternative to hanging. Among other methods discussed, were such elaborated ones as

putting the guilty before firing squads, drowning them and dropping them from aircraft…
