3000 Bass is one of the foundational platforms behind the boom of bass music worldwide in recent times. From it’s humble beginnings as a simple Soundcloud channel, to one of the most popular editorial platforms within underground electronic music and its rapid rise as a label entity to match, focusing on an output of ukg, uk bass, bassline & DnB releases.

Since the birth of the platform, 3000 Bass has not only assisted in the growth of bass music across the board, but has also played a big part in moulding and expanding the sound, being one of the original homes of artists such as Skepsis, Holy Goof, distinkt and more.
With the energy level and enthusiasm for the brand at an all time high, it looks like the 3000 wave will continue to bulge and grow, with a healthy box of releases still on the way across the rest of 2024 still to look forward to.

@3000deep is the sister platform of 3000 Bass and a highly valued area of the now extensive 3000 Network, focussing on the more abstract areas of underground dance music around the world. Originally conceived as an alternative space for producers to explore new avenues, the 3000 Deep catalogue has gone to explore many genres, from house to uk garage, breaks & more.
Often described as a stash house for sonic gems across everything in the electronic dance music realm, the energy of the 3000 Deep discography is a truly marvellous thing. The freedom the platform gives makes it an absolute treasure chest of goodies for any DJ looking to add some alternative flavour to their set menus.

This high level of energy is set to continue across 2024 and beyond as bass driven dance music continues to grow around the world!

Fatoumata Diawara (a.k.a. Fatou) was born of Malian parents in the Ivory Coast in 1982. As a child she became a member of her father’s dance troupe and was a popular performer of the wildly flailing didadi dance from Wassoulou, her ancestral home in western Mali. She was an energetic and headstrong girl and at the age of 12 her refusal to go to school prompted her parents to send her to live and be disciplined by an aunt in Bamako. She was not to see her parents again for more than a decade. 

Her aunt was an actress, and a few years after arriving, Diawara found herself on a film set looking after her aunt’s infant child. The film’s director was captivated by Diawara’s adolescent beauty and she was given a one-line part in the final scene of the film Taafe Fangan (The Power of Women). This led to a lead role in a film by the celebrated director Cheick Omar Sissoko: 1999’s La Genèse (Genesis). 

At the age of 18 Diawara travelled to Paris to perform the classical Greek role of Antigone on stage. After touring with the production she returned to Mali where she was given the lead in Dani Kouyaté’s popular 2001 film Sia, The Dream of the Python. The film tells the story of a West African legend called Sia, a young girl who defies tradition. To many in Mali, Guinea, Senegal, and Burkina Faso, Diawara is Sia thanks to the film’s enormous success throughout the region.

Offers for further acting roles poured in but Diawara’s family wanted her to settle down and marry and forced her to announce, live on Malian television, that she was abandoning her career as an actress. 

In 2002 Jean-Louis Courcoult, the director of the renowned French theatre company, Royale de Luxe, travelled to Bamako to offer Diawara a part in his new production. An unmarried woman is considered a minor in Malian society so her family’s permission was required. They refused. After much soul-searching Diawara took the daring decision to run away and at the Bamako airport she managed to board a plane for Paris, narrowly escaping the pursuit of the police who had been alerted to the girl’s “kidnapping.” 

With Royal de Luxe, Diawara performed a variety of roles around the world including tours in Vietnam and Mexico and throughout Europe. During rehearsals and quiet moments she took to singing backstage for her own amusement. She was overheard by the director and was soon singing solo during the company’s performances. Encouraged by the reception from audiences she began to sing in Parisian clubs and cafes during breaks from touring. Here she met Cheikh Tidiane Seck the celebrated Malian musician and producer who invited her to travel with him back to Mali to work on two projects as chorus vocalist; Seya, the Grammy–nominated album by Malian singer Oumou Sangaré, and Red Earth, the Grammy–winning Malian project by American jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater. When the albums were released Diawara toured worldwide as singer and dancer with both artists.

Shin Suzuma is a pianist and composer. Recently releasing a debut EP "Introspect" on Platoon, his music explores the meeting point between the classical and neo-classical, exploring an interplay between electronic, warped organic strings and piano textures.

Inspired by the sonic and harmonic creativity of Chilly Gonzales and Nils Frahm, he began to develop his long-held love of improvisation into composition.

Beginning the piano at age 3, many of his compositions are for solo piano and are played in such a way to create a sense of intimacy and calm. With the occasional touch of melancholy, his music always has a prevailing sense of hope and gentle optimism.

Being of mixed British and Japanese heritage his other inspirations include the Japanese artists Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi.
