Bringing together people, concepts and ideas from the European free party scene, the uk’s circus and underground hip hop scenes, and the general underbelly of society, Bassline Circus was as fresh as a cow pat in the Cotswold spring time. Hitting the Uk festival circuit with its early shows, the unit went from strength to strength, creating and performing shows, The Road in 2005, then Running Away in 2006.
But it was whey then teamed up with legendary French Circus director Pierrot Bidon, from Archaos infamy that they struck circus/rave/comedy GOLD. They collaborated together (along with Olivier Crova) to create Advertigo, their wildy successful show in 2007. This satirical take on modern consumerist society won them plaudits and applause across the whole country. Go to Bassline Circus to check them out in more detail.
During all of the years working with Bassline, i was Musical Director and Producer, writing or directing all of the music for their shows, in collaboration with B Storm and Dj Pyro, both from Desert Storm.
Collectively known as The Chump Dj’s, with a motto ‘We pay to play’, we brought together our style of rave and street sounds, and fused it with the traditional flavours of the circus, to create a new fresh and completely unique sound.
