Project name origin (original) (raw)

“When the track was finished I needed a name for the project. The concept was about bombarding the bass line with different samples, so it made sense to call it Bomb the Bass. Bombing was a graffiti term: bombing a wall or a train.

I grabbed a smiley face image from Alan Moore’s Watchmen for the sleeve and it transformed into this symbol for acid house which threw me off as it was never my intention. I would always struggle when people said: “You’re acid house.” Bomb the Bass was a lot of different things thrown together at once – there didn’t seem to be a name for that.”
