BassPhaze

The DJ

“Initiate BassPhaze!!”

Over the past 3 years BassPhaze has now established himself as a Multi Genre DJ playing styles such as Drum n Bass Freeform Hardcore and Old Skool Rave.

BassPhaze’s background is one of producing and MC’ing attending parties up and down the country. He has MC’d at many different venues including “Reality” in Newcastle Under Lyme “Helter Skelter” in Milton Keynes “Die Hard” in Leicester and “Liberation” in Nottingham. BassPhaze would bring the energy with the MC’ing by being actually in the crowd and being part of the atmosphere to keep the party rocking!!

In the past few years BassPhaze decided that to push his career further he needed to DJ and in such a short time he has achieved so much and is planning to take it as far has he possibly can in all the music styles he is so passionate about.

He has regular slots on Twisted Indulgent Radio Internet Show and also has guest played on various other streaming sites such as “The Beat Forum”. I stream on my “BassPhaze Beatz” show weekly through TikTok and Twitch. Whenever he plays a set he always delivers a full on high energy set of killer tunes.

The Music

Over the past couple of years BassPhaze’s music tastes have evolved into liking Drum and Bass also mixing the Old Skool Rave classics. But his first main genre to mix was Hardcore based Trance called “Freeform”.

BassPhaze has been writing and producing music for about 20 years and his passion has always been geared to anything high energy fast and heavy. So Freeform Hardcore was his music choice to produce professionally and to DJ under the alias of “Cynista”.

BassPhaze was lucky enough to work the with the Legendary Sharkey and also Kevin Energy and K-Complex on releasing tracks through “Nu Energy”. One of his tracks “Chemical Warfare” also made it onto the “Bonkers 8” compilation album which was a huge achievement for him and both this and “Mad As Hell” were played all round the UK and Worldwide and also made it onto other album compilation's.

After a break due to family and other commitments BassPhaze is now back writing and producing with tracks being played recently on BBC Introducing Shropshire. As the saying goes……the best is yet to come…..

The Inspiration

“Hardcore will never die!!” Is a well renowned quote and a statement that is etched into the minds of the Rave Generation including me. Be it now or in the past!! I used to attend parties up and down the country and loved every minute of it, the music, the energy and the love of meeting new friends with the same passion of the Rave Scene!!. After finishing University in 1997 and returning back home, I discovered a lot of my friends had become Ravers and were attending the infamous “Club Kinetic” and other clubs on a weekly basis. I attended my first Rave and from this point on my future was set. I wanted to be performing as well as attending so I asked my DJ'ing friend if I could MC for him and thankfully he said yes!! From then my MC’ing career began and after perfecting lyrics and skills I then progressed onto performing at Raves all over the country. After MC'ing I decided to have a go at producing and after some research and alot of trial and error, I started to produce my own tracks and play them to friends and family and as I got better, wider audiences. I then had a break with Nu Energy and spent time producing with Sharkey and K-Complex and I am proud to say had releases on their label which did really well, being played at Raves across the UK and other countries. An achievment which i'll always be proud of. Later on after a break for family commitments I got into DJ'ing Drum and Bass (specialising in Neuro and Dancefloor) and also producing my own tracks. This is going really well with getting raves to perform at and also having my own productions being played on BBC Introducing Shropshire. As they say, the best is yet to come!! Musical influences have been in different forms ranging from “The Prodigy”, “Pendulum” and other artists from such labels as “Nu Energy”, “Stompin Choonz” and “Bonkers”. He is also a huge fan of the “Andy C”, “The Prototype's”, “Pythius”, “V O E”, 'Muzzy', 'Traced', 'Mob Tactics', 'Junk Mail' and “Koven” and also record labels such as “RAM Records”, “Hospital Records” and “Viper Recordings” and 'Neuroheadz'.
