Smokin’ Sessions are back for another brilliant release on the label, this time represented by UK-based artist, Synpal.
You may be familiar with Synpal from his earlier record ‘Reiki EP’ that dropped this year on the label and was supported by the likes of Om Unit, Kid Fonque, Laurent Garnier, DFRNT, Mat the Alien and Brewster B to name some highlights.
Synpal lives and breaths bass music and is a passionate record collector.
His influences spread far and wide and can certainly hear the UK bass culture scene running deep through his veins and encapsulated in his musical offerings.
‘Central Line’ is undoubtedly the A-side on this EP and represents sonically what this artist is all about.
Placed at 135BPM, it touches on jungle-inspired, amen breaks with low sub-bass that rips through the duration of the recording. Pirate radio sample chops and pitched-up vocal samples are dotted around the production and the overall track is simply a weighty slice of nice.
‘Passing Clouds’ also stands out as an intricate, well delivered UK-influenced piece of Bass music.
As the name would suggest, the frequencies touch on cloud-like sound movements on the higher frequencies, while the sub provides a sturdy low-end foundation the beats lace in and out of.
‘Pre Drinks’ also offers a continuation of the sound that Sypal delivers so well and we feel it is only a matter of time this young man’s productions will be spreading far and wide into the sound cosmos of the universe.

The lamentations on the 2nd track are amazing, DE-TU & Congi explore bass, duspset & uk garage on a slow rhythm giving the album a very chill dimension. jef37
