MUMBAI: Launched in 2011, Asia's ever thrilling Mud Rush is an all-terrain Mud Run. With a bit of adventure and live music, The Mud Rush 2016 took place on 24 September 2016 at Filmcity, Mumbai.

Radioandmusic.com encountered a slayer performance by Bombay Bassment accompanying Sidd Coutto in the heart of stunning surroundings of Filmcity where over 15,000 members showed off their strength, stamina and keenness.

Bombay Bassment, the first Indian hip-hop act to play at the UK’s biggest festival - Glastonbury. It is an urban group created by four eclectic artists Bobkat (Robert Omulo) in rap, Levin (Levin Mendes) on drums, Ruell (Ruell Barretto) on bass guitar and Chandu (Chandrashekhar Kunder) on samples/percussion. Whereas, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sidd Coutto, drummer of alternative rock act Zero and as the frontman of Helga’s Fun Castle, who performed at Mud Rush 2016.

Bombay Bassment mostly performed their namesake debut album ‘Bombay Bassment’s tracks such as ‘Jump and Stomp’, ‘Show Me What You Got’, while, we were expecting more from their second album ‘Bombay Bassment X FUNC- VIP’, a revolutionary collaborative project with Randolph Correia, guitarist Mumbai-based electronic duo Shaa’ir and Func.

Despite diverse cultural and musical backgrounds, Bombay Bassment’s sound describes the grass roots of each; the upbeat blend of Hip-Hop, Rap, Reggae, Drum and Bass pull off a reverberation that was out of the ordinary.

With a congregation of sounds, Funk Assassin, (DJ Amul’s bass avatar) along with The Colour Compound, who gained some serious critical acclaim after releasing their debut album, ‘From Where We Stand’ (2014) were also dominating acts at the Mud Rush 2016.

The Mud Rush, through the line-up, has ensured there’s music for everyone. However, in simple words, we kind of liked the whole idea but, the execution of performances, planning and the management could have been better.
