As a name, Bomb The Bass came from Simenon's approach to DJing. Bomb the Bass (formed 1987 in London, England) is the umbrella title for the output of British musician and DJ, Tim Simenon. A disc jockey (also known as DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience Whilst playing, he says "samples were either scratched in live or sampled and looped on top of the rhythm section. So the concept was one of bombing the bass line with different ideas, with a collage of sounds. Bombing was a graffiti term for writing, like people would 'bomb' trains or whatever. "[1]
Released in 1987, the band's debut single was Beat Dis, with composition credited to Emilio Pasquel / Captain Black / DJ Kid 33. Keenly disguised as a U.S. import in an attempt to conjure the mystique of Bomb The Bass being an underground New York act, the single exceeded mere expectations by eventually reaching number two on the UK charts.

The recording of Beat Dis, which cost a reputed £500 - funded by Simenon himself with money coming from DJ sets at London club, The Wag, and an odd-job stacking shelves in a supermarket - was one of the first hit singles to introduce the mainstream to sampling culture (along with releases by M/A/R/R/S and S'Express). In Music, sampling is the act of taking a portion or sample, of one Sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or element of a new recording " Pump Up the Volume " ( 1987) was the only single released by British recording act M/A/R/R/S.

Having already taken a part-time sound course at The School Of Audio Engineering in Holloway, Simenon was in the enviable position of being able to build Beat Dis himself. [1] And whilst the bass line and drum tracks were written by Simenon, the rest of the track was compiled from samples, presenting an aural mood board of where his influences were at.

Beyond the inventive use of samples and breakbeats on Beat Dis, the single release would also go on to impact on the cultural landscape in a far bigger, yet inadvertent manner.

In 1991, Love So True, the first single of new Bomb The Bass material suffered under hastily imposed (and unofficial) censorship broadcast regulations, as the outbreak of the First Gulf War prompted UK broadcasters, especially the main national music station BBC Radio 1, to blacklist a variety of songs and acts deemed potentially controversial due to their content or titles.

With the Bomb The Bass handle restored, and an album ready to go, band activity once again ground to a halt, when the collection, now titled Unknown Territory, was delayed when Pink Floyd refused to allow a section of Money to be sampled on one of the albums tracks.

This act of inclusion-by-sampling saw Simenon following the hip-hop ethos of paying homage to heroes on record. Hip hop is a cultural movement which developed in New York City in the 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latinos. By referencing the David Sylvian-led band's influential textual and ambient work many years before, Simenon was giving notice of his intention to help push hip-hop orientated dance music in the direction that would become trip-hop.

Once again pioneering new sounds in the public arena, and following the success of Winter In July, Unknown Territory would be the band's most well received release to date. Reviewing the album at the time, music writer and author, Simon Reynolds attempted to outline a new genre in the making: suggesting that, by moving beyond mere dance tracks into fully cohesive albums, the band were venturing into progressive dance. Simon Reynolds (born 1963 in London, England; raised in Hertfordshire) is an English Music critic who is well-known for his writings on An album or record album is a collection of related audio or Music tracks distributed to the public [2] However, the term did not stick.
As usual on the album, a great deal of Simenon's hip-hop fascination would shine through (most notably, the production work of The Bomb Squad with Public Enemy) via the use of multi-media samples, with the album containing dialogue or soundtrack clips from Rollerball, Blade Runner, David Cronenberg's Videodrome, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Marvel comics' Fantastic Four animated cartoon series; and Death Race 2000.

Having developed dance music's potential via debut single, Beat Dis in to a more song-based form of what the avant-garde would term musique concrete, with its complex use of hybrid hip-hop-inspired sound poaching (in place of actual played sounds) taken to logical extremes, Simenon pre-empted a style that would do well by several major acts in the years to come. Avant-garde (avɑ̃gaʁd in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard Musique concrète ( French; literally "concrete music" is a style of Avant-garde music that relies on recorded sounds including natural Hip hop is a cultural movement which developed in New York City in the 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latinos.
So, whilst the downbeat experimental Winter In July and Love So True would pave the way for trip-hop, the uptempo breakbeat-heavy side of Unknown Territory, would be taken into more punk-laced territory as the riotous sound of The Prodigy, from their Music for the Jilted Generation album onwards.

Where once Simenon had initially constructed tracks with frenetic layers of colourful samples from films and cartoons, real instrumentation, which had already factored as a large part of the production on Unknown Territory, was now playing an even greater role - albeit in heavily edited and/or effected forms, that saw them composited with other sounds to disguise or beef up their impact - along with song-orientated vocals. In Music, sampling is the act of taking a portion or sample, of one Sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or element of a new recording The word cartoon has various meanings based on several very different forms of Visual art and Illustration. Instrumentation is the branch of science that deals with measurement and control in order to increase efficiency and safety in the workplace Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with Speech. As a result, all but one of the albums tracks would fit into what could be considered a conventional structure. Whilst this would mark Simenon's leaps and bounds in his progression from DJ-based music to actual song-based composition, this may have also been accelerated by the rise in frequency of music industry legal disputes over sampling.

In lyrical terms, developing on from his previous reliance on exhilarating film dialogue samples, braggadocio-fuelled raps, and dance-friendly vocal hooks or ecstatic tomes of love, Clear saw Simenon developing very specific subject matter for his tracks. Dance (from French danser, perhaps from Frankish) is an Art form that generally refers to movement of the body usually rhythmic New influences, and, therefore, his fascinations, for this collection built up to become very obviously literature-based.
