BASS 101

BASS 101 by STREEETS

This will be the first of many (I certainly hope anyway) posts I will be doing on everything from graffiti art to bass music (of all kinds). I would first like to acknowledge my friends at Music First, THANK YOU for helping pull the Winnipeg’s bass music scene out of the stone age. I won’t totally say single handedly but with the help of other crews (Bass Face Ent./Bass Invaders/Dark Vinyl/Dub City Steppers/Mixtechs.CA) 2010 and now 2011 so far, as been STELLER.

Now on to reason I’m here. I’m going to post a lot of mixes but seeing this is my first post i'm going to put up 3 that i've been listening to on repeat over the last little while, I have a freakishly unhealthy obsession with this music spun at 130-140 BPM. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do big ups to all the artists.

I’ll start things off with a mix of all original material from local DJ/Producer Theo Tzu (http://soundcloud.com/theotzu) who opened for Mark Instincts on March 5 2011. Enjoy bass fiends.
