Bern Bass Podcast - SPECIALS

Ryck from Berne is one of the core-founders of the Bern Bass Podcast and started DJing in 1997 after being bitten by the Drum&Bass bug at the local United Tribes Raves. He was struck by the sounds and energy of Goldie’s „Timeless“, the relentless bassline rollers of the ever-prolific Full Cycle crew and DJs like Randall, Micky Finn and LTJ Bukem. An avid Junglist and nerdy record collector until this day, he got his first gig at the Lighters-series in 2002 after years of sweating blood & tears practising on the Technics 1210s. Known today for his varied, unpredictable selection with a heavy nod to the oldschool, over the years he played at most major Swiss D&B events such as Bierhübeli and Darkside at Dachstock in Berne or Bassride at Rohstofflager and Mute in Zürich. As a producer, he released collaborative tracks on Soul Deep, Inform and Sun and Bass Recordings. After being in involved in RaBass 95.6, a monthly Drum&Bass show on Berne alternative radio RaBe for over ten years, he was asked to co-promote and continue the Liquid Session series at Dachstock in Berne in 2015, hosting a broad variety of international acts in the deeper realm of D&B as well as showcasing young and older local talent. As a continuation of the idea of our podcast, Ryck launched the Bandcamp-only Bern Bass Records label to feature Swiss producers exclusively in 2020 with the first releases by Simstah, OctaState and Dayni - more to come soon, stay tuned and check out the Bandcamp page:

As for the 2021 Swiss National Day Special,  Ryck selected some of his favourite & most treasured Jungle 12“ for an exclusive '93-'94 mix, capturing the essence of Drum&Bass’ original energy - make sure you check out his 10-piece-„Legends of Jungle“-Mix-Series amongst other oldschool mixes, too:

Returning six years after providing his last Bern Bass Podcast Special, DJ Steve G reminisces about the British Wednesdays 1999/2000 at «Tonis the Club» in Aarbergergasse in Bern with this special vinyl mix.

Bern Bass Podcast 97 - Namarone (EASTER SPECIAL 2023)

"I made my way through the rave scene...
Growing up in Zürich's countryside, caught between Hip Hop and Techno, doing Graffiti on trains and playing Trance, in the early 90ies.
At 15 I started to DJ in our youth centre on two Technics MKII. I always watched „MTV Saturday Night Dance“, where the likes of SL2, Altern8 and The Prodigy were featured. When I heard DJ Hype doing the closure set at Energy 94 at Hallenstadion it just was the perfect mixture of all my musical tastes, the answer to all questions.
Records were hard to find then, so mainly Happy Breakbeat and Hardcore filled the box. As an up & coming DJ of the second rave generation I got to be a resident at the White Wolf Raves from 96 to 98 and lots of other events.
Around 98 I met Led Tampi, one of the titans of Switzerland's Jungle DJs and then became a part of Zürich’s legendary „Metropolitan Bass Scientists“ alongside Mad B, Crazee Bo, Max S, Led Tampi and MC Riddimflrt.
MBS were the counterpart to Switzerland’s biggest and most influential crew, United Tribes from Berne.  Sadly, both crews dissolved around the millennium but a new collective came out of it, The Engine with Lockee, Fine Style, Led Tampi, and MC Fight. Their events at Bierhübeli in Berne in the early 2000s are legendary. Drum & Bass really had its prime back then. There were many other crews like Score Inc, Blackout & RG Promotions, Mute, Tension State, FMI, JUR… and so many others!
After playing at basically all Swiss venues and raves of the era and in Czech Republic regularly, even at „Let it Roll 10“ I stepped back to focus on my job career.  At this time technology for DJs changed from analog to digital, but I decided not to go on with CDJ’s and refused to make this step. I've never stopped listening to D&B, once it’s in your DNA, you can’t stop listening to it, as you probably know.... I am super happy and honored to do this mix for Berne Bass Podcast so that I can share favorites of my vinyl collection and have a few words.
Drum & Bass definitely has stood the test of time, although not a lot of people believed in its future back in the days... So BIG UP all of the massive and youth, new breed and crews that runs our beautiful culture today. Let D&B thrive on forever!"

THANK YOU Raphi aka DJ IMPACT for an incredible Old to the New and Classics Bonanza, guys please make sure to check out his incredible five-piece "OhMyDaze!"-Mix-Series, absolutely brilliant! Just right for our holiday special, have fun!

Bern Bass Podcast 15 - Pierre Green: EASTER SPECIAL 2016

DJ Soulsource started djing in the mid-80s right before the birth of underground dance culture. Open-eared and eclectic to a variety of music, he warmed up for artists like Dee Lite, Run Dmc and Gang Starr, playing mostly Hip Hop, Soul and Funk. Residencies at some of the era's most important clubs in Berne such as "Miles Club" at Stufenbau, Dampfzentrale and Wasserwerk followed, establishing Soulsource as a sure provider of fresh flavours in the early 90s' melting pot of club culture and rave. 
Around that time he discovered Drum&Bass Jungle which proved to be his biggest passion to this day. This led to working in a recordshop and promoting regular club events such as "Drum & Bass Lighters" or "UK Fever". The creativity of his sets and exclusive dubplates made him one of the most wanted D&B-DJs in Switzerland and abroad with gigs like the "Let it roll"-Festival in Czech Republic. More recently, Soulsource provided an exclusive album mix for vocalist David Boomah on V-Records. He regularly supports acts such as Bryan G, Chase and Status, Goldie, Roni Size, Benny Page, Mc Tali, Peshay, Ltj Bukem and Mc Conrad among others and promotes his own new events series "Capital Breakz".

Bern Bass Podcast 19 - DJ Soulsource: SWISS NATIONAL DAY SPECIAL (August 2016)

Wenzel Dashington (Tech Noir Club)
Wenzel Dashington, man of many monikers, is the founder of the event label Tech Noir Club. Inspired by the 85/170 Autonomic sound, the more minimalistic / deeper side of 140 music, scores to dystopian movies & film noir imagery, as well as House & Techno, he established the brand in 2010. For his event series (discontinued from 2014) in the venue Turnhalle in Bern he used to promote his favourites of the local scene as well as international artists.
He was lucky enough to have been exposed to rap music in its ‚golden era’ (during the mid-90’s), when he began collecting records. When the whole bling-bling ting in hiphop started to become rampant, Wenzel Dashington emigrated to Leftfield, Abstract & Headz, whereas Ninja Tune was his biggest influence. Juxtaposed to his love for slow, trippy beats, Wenzel Dashington highly enjoyed the other end of the spectrum as well – D&B. Reprazent’s album ‚New Forms’ in 1997 and the precedent machine-gun-Jungle of ‚The Self Evident Truth Of An Intuitive Mind’ by T-Power left their marks in shaping the adolescent’s musical tastebuds.
Recognizing that he sucks in writing graffiti, he decided to equip himself with his first pair of decks in 1999. Since 2007, Wenzel Dashington also spins Dubstep records, and with this mix he wants to showcase the developments of the 140 sound within the past few years.

Bern Bass Podcast 27 - Wenzel Dashington / Tech Noir - EASTER SPECIAL 2017

Having grown up with a strong musical influence from his dad, wich included Jazz, Classical and Funk to psychedelic Rock, Daniel Imhof discovered in 1992 the fascination of electronically generated sounds. Some years and some good parties later, he started out with djing, never limiting himself to just one style of music, but to include a wide selection of sexy tunes and funky sounds in his sets; never the same, always a surprise. In 2004, Daniel started hosting his own radioshow called “Supernova” together with a friend in Bern’s local independent radio station Radio RaBe, going on air every second Saturday afternoon. Also there, no limits to certain styles, but presenting a wide range of warm, deep and groovy music, from chilled downbeat to dancefloor bombs. With the years, the show has become a “must hear” throughout local music lovers and is known for its diversity.

Bern Bass Podcast 35 - Daniel Imhof - CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2017

Born in the swiss mountains during the early seventies, Bird was strongly influenced through radio and his parents' collection from an early age and ultimately developed a strong fascination for music. 
Bird has spent numerous years as a DJ in clubs around Switzerlands capital, as well as a vinyl dealer and store owner of SchwarzMarktMusic and recently joined the Sirion Records. 
If you want to experience Bird, then follow him to his gigs and be captured by his definition of House music, instead of reading yet another DJs bio...

Bern Bass Podcast 47 - Bird - Christmas Special 2018

UPK 165 aka DJ Onesixfive is one of the original foundation DJs from Berne when it comes to all things Rave and Breakbeat. Starting out at the beginning of the Acid House Era in 1988, he soon pioneered the emerging new "Techno" sounds from England, Belgium and Germany, evolving from 4-to-the-floor basics to the more breakbeat- and bassline-driven styles of labels like Suburban Base, Impact, Ibiza or Knite Force  that became more and more prominent  and popular overall in Europe. Whilst being a DJ-mentoring figure to the soon-notorious United Tribes crew consisting of DJs like Sensi, Lockee, MF and MC Shoka, he went further along the evolution from Breakbeat to UK Hardcore to the new, exciting Jungle sounds. When the music changed again to Drum&Bass in the later 90s, UPK 165 took a different direction, going back to his roots in House & Techno and eventually living in Berlin for a couple of years. Still highly active after all the years, these days it’s all sorts of Electronica and Techno that the passionate vinyl DJ is interested in, whilst also focussing on his own productions in his homestudio. The National Day Special Mix is a retrospective on the Breakz-sounds from the early 2000s, in UPK 165’s own words „not too fast 4 chilling, not too slow to dance, so move on, chill on, have a great 1st of august and a hot summer“ – enjoy!

Bern Bass Podcast 54 - UPK 165 - SWISS NATIONAL DAY SPECIAL 2019

Born and raised in Ecuador, Cutkachi moved to Switzerland in 2006 where he started to produce bassweight oriented music around 2009. In the last years he shared stages as a DJ with the likes of Mala, Gantz, Tunnidge, Boddika, Sleeper or Alley Cat in dark underground venues as well as at big raves in Poland, Germany and Switzerland. To make sure his recent hometown Berne has its own serious soundsystem nights, he's also a main part of Dubtopia, an event series for the above mentioned kind of musical madness. After several dubplates he released his first vinyl record, a split 12" with Phrex on swiss abstract dub/ambient label re:st.

Cutkachis productions nowadays might be best described as a hybrid between garage and post-dubstep tunes. If he wasn't already busy enough, he started re:dio, a web-radio station focusing on carefully selected electronic music, mainly for the interested and sonically hungry folks in his homeland, but in the end for everyone who wants to tune in of course.

Bern Bass Podcast 62 - MDS - EASTER SPECIAL 2020

Mister Twister started collecting vinyl and dj-ing in 1993. Originally a Hip Hop-Head, his love for music led him to venture into different musical fields and tempos within all things Breakbeat & basslines, eventually being bitten by the Drum&Bass bug in the early 2000s. Together with his brother Simstah he released a varied palette of tracks as Konfront.Audio on different labels such as Fokuz or Soul Deep to name but a few, whilst DJing at major Swiss events. 
In 2018 his old love for a more chilled out, more headnod sound got him back to experiment in the studio and on the turntables to get back the vibes that got him onto this in the first place. In this special edition he‘s showcasing a wide spread selection of current favorites. From downbeat and hip hop to electronica and soul.
