Bass Frontiers nights are one of the oldest in the New Zealand Electronic Music scene, and it gives me great pleasure to announce that they are once again reaching another year old, hitting their 11th year.
With previous birthdays being a solid international affair, this time however, the BF crew are going back to their local roots, with a huge local line up likely to pack Sandwiches out as per usual.
Read on to get more info, and Happy Birthday Bass Frontiers.
Wellingtons premiere DnB crew, Bass Frontiers, are saying goodbye for 2009 with a huge gig to celebrate their 10th year ending and the festive season. The BF guys have dragged out The Upbeats to play their final NZ show before the huge Phat10 new years eve party.
Make sure you check out their recent mix on Dogs on Acid, which gives a solid slice of their recent album.
The Upbeats are playing at the Bass Frontiers Xmas Special alongside DDog, JMC, Import and the Frederick Crew @ Sandwiches on Saturday the 12th of December
From 1999 - 2003 Wellington witnessed some of the finest drum and bass parties New Zealand has ever seen . The combination of Studionine and the emerging drum and bass brand Bass Frontiers set the standard for what was to evolve into one of the healthiest scenes in the Southern Hemisphere. It was a truly a special time for the drum and bass scene and Wellington dance culture in general, vibes were second to none and the parties had a feeling not really ever experienced since . The fortnightly Bass Frontiers local sessions were legendary and the visits by the cream of UK drum and bass such as Bad Company, Dillinja, Grooverider, Zinc, Marky, Doc Scott were always simply incredible. Crew have come and gone but Bass Frontiers remains strong and resolute in its original goals of providing the best possible events for the Wellington party people.
When you look at the number of gigs happening in Wellington these days, it's hard to believe that 10 years ago we were missing out on most of the big international tours coming through the country. Enter Bass Frontiers. In the past decade they have brought Welly to the forefront of the national drum & bass scene, with many big names listing it as one of their preferred cities to play. With that in mind, this Saturday they're celebrating their 10th birthday and, true to form, it promises to be one hell of a party. With two of the most respected DJs in drum & bass holding down the decks, it promises to be a night not to forget. Matt Baseline sat down with DDog this week to reminisce about parties past and look forward at what is to come.
Just a quick note incase you havent noticed - the gallery page has had some additions from BF gigs over the last few months thanks to photographers EJZ and Danjah. Check the gallerys from DJ Bailey, Cyantific and Nutone, DJ Marky, The Upbeats and Klute (and another Klute set).
