From the publisher

The legendary follow up to Junglist, Bass Instinct takes us on odyssey across '90s London as a young black man and his extended family of friends, colleagues and fellow bike couriers navigate love, sex, work, partying and the quest for the perfect bassline- all soundtracked by deep cuts from the decades essential R&B.Bass Instinct's raw and gritty style mixes poetry and realism in equal measure, unafraid to go to the places most contemporary books shy away from. Caught up in a love of black British bass culture and the way it overlaps with America's profound musical legacy, Bass Instinct looks at the magic of music and how one tune might shape your destiny to become a DJ. Back in print for the first time in thirty years, Bass Instinct Is both a time capsule, capturing the colour and noise of a particular moment, and an enduring story of the struggles of being young and hungry in the big, bad city.
