With this instalment of our mix series, we are in for a treat… introducing Bass Toner! 

Evan has been kicking out the jams for three decades, navigating through a variety of sounds and projects on his sonic journey.  He has spent a multitude of time sculpting his sounds and refining his techniques in clubs and at festivals. With a broad taste and knowledge of multiple genres, Evan always delivers flawless sets that continue to bring fans, old and new, to the joint whenever he is on the decks.

With this mix, he comes to us with his latest exploration in sound, Bass Toner.

Bass Toner is inspired by one of the most influential artists in Evan’s DJ style, Phil K. especially the Distinctive Records release: Phil K Presents: Y4K. Bass Toner sends a nod to Evan’s roots as a vinyl DJ exploring broken and breakbeat, while guiding you on a journey towards his more recent explorations across drum ‘n bass and the wider bass music landscape.

We hope you enjoy “Break’n Bass” as much as we do!

Let’s take a closer look in a little interview with Madam Bliss.

Why did you get into DJing and music production?
I love to dance and I'm addicted to good beats.

Where do you currently live? Whitefish, Montana.

Is that where you’re from originally?
No, Media, Pennsylvania(outside of Philadelphia).

What inspires you to DJ?
Heavy and feel good bass vibrations with soothing intricate and dance worthy sounds.

What inspires you about electronic music culture?
It inspires me in all aspects of life. I love the feeling when there is a big group of people that come together to share the love of a certain type of music. I love meeting awesome people and working with them on new music or dance moves. It inspires me to be more creative and to move my body in new ways. The energy in electronic music really matches my personality and it inspires me to go further in life.

What genres are in your mix?
Rooted Dubstep, Bass music, Baltimore Club, Trap, reggae.

Can you tell us a little bit about it?
This mix was deeply inspired by rooted dubstep and bass music. My 2 favorite genres of music. Now that I live here in Montana in the mountains, it has given me the clarity to really dive into what moves me as an artist and DJ. One of my favorite eras of DJing is when I spun dubstep back in 2009. I made an all vinyl mix called DuBlissious with my favorite hand picked records. Still one of my favorite mixes. This is a continuation of that mix, I even reinvented some of the mixes from the first edition. This mix has a lot of melodic feels with deep bass lines delivered in the most beautiful of transitions. I took old school rooted dubstep and mixed it with more present day basslines, keeping it locked around 140bpm. I carried reggae sounding beats throughout. The beauty of these tunes have put me in a trance when I listen back to this mix, really taking the listener on a journey. This mix includes some of my most favorite 140bpm tunes I’ve produced myself as well as brand new production that I have yet to release. It also includes some of my favorite tunes that really moved me by other amazing producers.

Who are some of the artists in your mix?
Cimm, Shlump, Nahlith, Oz, Hamdi, Rakjay, Substrada, Vaski, The Maker, Eva808, Wildabeast, 6Blocc, Madam Bliss, Headland, Merricat Black, Skinny Limbs, G-space, Subscape, Matty G, Tiedye Ky, Pipus, Tsou, Kursa, Hexed X Labs, Chief Kaya, Synkro, MRK1, DJ Sliink, Scuba, M!ngo.

We’re so glad you shared this mix with us. This one is a special addition to the series and overall fire set.
Anything else you want us to know?
I want you to know that you are amazing for giving DJs and producers in Montana the chance to share their music with like minded people. I truly appreciate you and your crew!!!
