BassMachine

BassMachine's interest in EDM music started with mix tapes circa 1996. Heavily influenced by the sounds of Jungle from Dj Trace, SS, Dieselboy, Ed Rush, Zinc, Source Direct, and others, prompted BassMachine into buying records and purchasing a set of Technics to start mixing. During the next few years BassMachine moved from Old Skool and started mixing harder and faster. But it wasn’t until Sunday, July 4 1999 when 2tuff’s “Injected the Virus” with appearances by Ed Rush & Optical, MC Rymetyme, Slant, Stress, Overload and Mecha introduced BassMachine to the virus sound which instantly drove him to an obsession with this new sound. Instantly BassMachine was pulled towards the new genre “Tech Step/Nurofunk”. During those years BassMachine didn’t have the opportunity to play out that often but managed to play a few gigs here and there with the help of friends. A few years went by and 2001 brought a new wave of styles and tunes. Liquid Funk and other Sub-Genres were obtaining popularity in the scene attracting more followers with different tastes in music. This was a great year for DNB specially the National scene because a lot of US artist were emerging making a name for themselves by producing high quality tunes that were getting rotation by the scene’s godfathers such as Andy C, Zinc, Randall, Doc Scott to name a few. The US scene was finally proving that there was a lot of talent to be exploded here thanks to the help of the ones like Hive, UFO!, Echo, Sabottage, Pieter K, and Gridlok. During this time BassMachine was invited to help out at a weekly event in Bethesda “Player’s Ball” which led to his affiliation with Kind Bass Inc. Bassmachine’s name began to pop up in flyers, line ups, and Internet Radio Shows in the Washington Metropolitan area along UK top DnB DJs such as Aphrodite, Matrix, Black Sun Empire, Spirit, Silver, and most recently US sensation Gridlok. 2003 marked an even better improvement in the scene thanks to the internet. Drum and Bass turned into a global movement no longer just popular in the  UK and US. BassMachine is current educating himself on the production aspects of the music. He has been involved in long studio sessions perfecting his new trade. The future ahead seems bright and the studio project is 75% up and running with the help of good friend and soon to be partner in production Matt Sanborn from Broken Soul D.C. Their main goal is going to focus on providing genres for all audiences ... from the dark recesses with technical amen's to the funkiest bassliness ... our ultimate goal is to keep the dance floor moving ...
