Bus It ('92 Lick)

The Blapps Posse · 1992
Recording

Produced by Aston Harvey and Jason Tunbridge at Noisegate Studio in London, the track blended hip-hop and house influences with acid-tinged samples. The production was completed rapidly, taking approximately four hours to finish. Released in 1992 on Ruff Lick Records, the track epitomized the early UK breakbeat hardcore crossover movement, featuring heavy 808 bass drums, acid synths, and sampladelic arranging that influenced the emerging jungle and drum and bass scenes. It became a pirate radio and underground rave staple. The track remains a foundational reference in UK breakbeat culture, celebrated for its innovative fusion of hip-hop and rave sensibilities. Blapps Posse evolved into the Freestylers, who carried forward this breakbeat aesthetic throughout the 1990s and beyond, establishing the sonic template for generations of UK bass music producers.
