Specops Music is relaunching, a fresh start in the new year. Our mission to bring quality bass music to the masses stays the same and we've gotten a new distributor to help us fulfill our mission. SPECOPS will be continuing to release new material from our killer roster of bass music masters as well as finding the best new talent from around the globe. Deep and dark, thoughtful and inventive, tech flavored and forward thinking, SPECOPS music will be in your ears and on your playlists in 2012 and beyond.
Re-Releases out Today 13/3/12:
Starting out our release schedule for the new year is a re-release of the first set of tunes to grace the SPECOPS Music nameplate, built by the bossman himself Portland's DJ Harp. First up is "Twin Peakz" a heavy lfo bassline thriller of a tune with a vibe straight out of the northwest town it gets its name from. On the flip side is "Rap as a Weapon", a collaboration with Ryze+Fall (also one half of Abrasion Equation), a distorted roller with a chilled out agenda and heavy beats coexisting to make a monster tune. Dark, energetic, deep and bass-heavy, this release is the perfect opening salvo from the SPECOPS arsenal of artists. Available on Beatport, iTunes, Spotify and other download sites March 13th, 2012.

Also on the block for the first round of tunes is recent Portland transplant KidLogic's latest SPECOPS release, "Mudpie" and "Problem Solver". "Mudpie" opens the release with a loose beat and a guitar chug that develops into a full blown mover that's equal parts UK funky and us funk. "Problem Solver" follows suit and evolves into a deep Rhodes driven soulful groove, but not before droppin some funk nuggets of guitar and organ to kick the tune off right. Deep and funky, these two tracks are sure to make you move. Available on Beatport, iTunes, Spotify and other download sites March 13th, 2012.

Free Download: Problem Solver (Uncommon Sense Remix)
To help spread the word about the relaunch, we've enlisted the remixing skills of Portland local Uncommon Sense and gave him the parts to KidLogic's "Problem Solver". Spaced out and atmospheric, but with a funky groove and a nice surprise change-up at the end, this track is a perfect way to kick of the second stage of SPECOPS mission.
