NIHIL 2: Hubris EP is Angolan artist Nazar’s tongue-in-cheek ode to the reigning kleptocracy—a tribute to the government that cracks down murderously on dissent, adorning its public spaces with pro-government propaganda. 

It is a voice of protest from a diplomat’s son born abroad, whose romanticized perspective of a New Angola was shattered when he returned to live in his native land and witnessed first-hand the corruption, nepotism and manipulation that pervades the country's leadership. 

It is a documentary take on the consciousness of the Angolan people, a critique of the government that is beyond reproach for its massacre of civilians on Mount Sumi on April 16, 2015. 

NIHIL 2 is a referendum on the hubris of a ruling class that continues to illegitimately perpetuate its power in a legacy that stretches back 40 years.

Like the mythical beast his name conjures up Sasquatch is a monster in the studio. His broad reaching bass heavy sound emerged from the Leeds underground scene at the tail end of the last century he now lives and works in his studio in London. Sasquatch’s time spent producing and cutting dubs for soundsystems in his early years as a producer have stood him in good stead for honing his frequencies with razor sharp precision for maximum impact. He’s worked with vocalists including Sizzla, Max Romeo, Foreign Beggars, Warrior Queen and YT for a string of killer 12s.
He’s played across Europe including touring France with Ghosttown, Poland and Spain and he plays regularly around the UK recently sharing stages with the likes of Iration Steppas, N Type, Oris Jay, Hatcha, Warlock, Mala and Congo Natty to name only a few. 
As co-owner and A&R of Senseless Records he has released technicolour international bass music since 2005 with releases upcoming in 2010 from Max Romeo, Kanji Kinetic, Maga Bo, Ghosttown, Brackles, DZ, Pacheko, Stagga, Rossi B & Luca and a split solo release with DeVille.
