For this weeks podcast we were determined to bring the sound closer to home. We really wanted to share a London vibe with our listeners around the world. Thus we went in search of someone we thought would aptly represent the capital and Basher was the natural choice. Based in London, Basher has been on our radar for a while now, rapidly forging a reputation  as one of the most technically advanced producers to hit the  D&B scene in recent years.

As at home in the studio as behind the decks, Basher’s skills are the end result of endless practice as he sought to perfect his sound over almost 2 decades. With his roots firmly grounded in LDN, Basher first became a dance music enthusiast at the young age of just twelve. He obtained a set of turntables and relinquished his first love of Hardcore and Jungle Drum & Bass. The adolescent Basher gathered an endless collection of records over the years and began his first club performances and radio shows soon after, This is where he got to fine - tune his live mixing skills and started to gain credibility in and around London. However, his progression was not moving at the pace that he anticipated so he took to the studio to jump-start his music career on a more professional level. Having received quality advice from respected DJ’s and producers alike, Basher held back his sound in the depth of his studio until he was confident in his production. Once he felt he had achieved the sound he desired Basher was ready to start sending his tracks to major record labels in the Drum & Bass scene. His career as an event filling artist started with a phone call from the Ram Records boss himself. This was due to a glimpse of the soon to become infamous track Leachcraft. Soon after, Andy C snapped at the chance to bring Basher into the fold for Ram Records and his tracks have been receiving consistent airplay on the worlds premier radio stations ever since. 
With numerous successful releases under his belt including his debut album "Transmission" on Ram Records and remixes for legendary artists such as DJ Hype, Audio Bullys, E-Z Rollers and Cause for Concern to name but a few. Now with his own imprint Proximity Recordings established and a fresh 2 track release entitled ‘Trojan/Weep’ out now on Ram sister label Program, we thought the time was right to share his skills on the decks with our fans. Enjoy.

TRACKLISTING

DTP360 - Basher - Datatransmission

I am an amateur mixer whose primary reason for making a soundcloud profile is to save my mixes to an external site in the event that something happens to my computer (e.g. from overclocking it too much, which is another activity I enjoy).

I like to try and mix something creative by mixing at least 2 - 3 tunes together with only minor changes to the various sound effects of each tune.  

I can pretty much guarantee you that you will not hear any mix like my mixes and I can also guarantee you that I'll never be able to create the same mix twice haha!

I have always used Acid Pro 7, I find it the easiest to beatmap and mix my tunes.

Anyway, my aim with this channel was never to become 'known' or famous or anything, I upload mixes of tunes that I like so that I can listen to them in the future, whenever I want (even at work which is a bonus lol).  

If you like my mixes too, then I am very flattered and that is an added bonus and to that I say thankyou :)

I also like listening to other tunes on soundcloud, but I like to lurk around soundcloud and listen to cool dnb mixes and original tunes/samples. 

I don't upload many mixes, mainly because I don't have the time not because I don't want to :)
