DJ Fela & DJ Rod – Bass Mix #3 (1995)

DJ Fila & DJ Rod – Bass Mix #3 (1995)

Released either in very late 1994 or early 1995, Bass Mix #3 is a heavy, trunk-rattling Orange Mound bass tape that perfectly captures the raw street energy of the era. DJ Fila (also known as DJ Fela) represents Third World Orange Mound, and this tape leans hard into loud bass, gritty hooks, and posse-style cuts designed strictly for systems, not subtlety. This release sits right at the transition point between classic early-90s Memphis underground and the darker, more aggressive mid-90s sound. DJ Fila and DJ Rod split duties across the tape, with Side A leaning into Fila’s bass-heavy approach while Side B shifts toward DJ Rod’s rough, street-oriented mixes. Tracks like “Bloody Glock II” and “3rd World” function as neighborhood anthems, stacking multiple voices from the local circle to cement Third World’s presence. More than just a mix tape, Bass Mix #3 feels like a crew statement, meant to be played loud in cars, parking lots, and neighborhoods. Which is exactly how these tapes were intended to live.
