UNDERGROUND ASSISTANCE spans the full spectrum of bass-driven club culture. uk garage, jungle, breakbeat, dubstep, grime, footwork and experimental sounds come together over deep bass, driving rhythms and a strong soundsystem focus. the nights are about energy, precision and pushing the music forward.
NONAPS
non-adaptive pleasure seeking - most pleasurable activities, such as eating and sex, have clear links to survival. such activities ultimately stimulate brain mechanisms that are specifically evolved to reward and encourage adaptive behaviors. note that once brain mechanisms are in place that permit the experience of pleasure, it may be possible to stimulate those mechanisms in ways that do not confer a survival advantage. this behavior is called non-adaptive pleasure seeking.
LOW END ACTIVIST
with an omnivorous approach to every fibre of soundsystem culture, low end activist revels in the alchemy of sample manipulation and bass pressure across the hardcore continuum. from the earliest mutations of breakbeat and jungle to the sleek bump of garage via dubstep’s half-time meditations onto grime’s volatile riddims, this is a project steeped in reverence for the formidable force inherent in uk dance music culture.
NASSSTYA
with a strong passion and love for sub driven music and heavy basslines, she’s become a steady part of the northern bass front. her musical aspiration is to break with the stale construct of subgenre boundries by celebrating a multifarious bass music culture, making more room for a diverse, safe & inclusive space - not only behind the decks, but also over the speakers and on the dancefloors. especially her uptempo selections are fueled by various styles and influences, always blending in some footwork, halftime & ravy jungle treats.
N:IN
n:in has always been attracted to dystopian sounds and unusual rhythms. sometimes more on the soft side, sometimes completely distorted, she likes to explore different genres and connect them through sounddesign or harsh contrasts. maily inspired by modern, dupstep influenced club-, deconstructed and experimental approaches.
