Howard Bass has been DJ since early teenagehood, getting hold of his
brothers old Soundlab belt-drives around his twelfth birthday. His
mixing started with the classic house tunes of the mid nineties, then
moving across through the harder genres of dance music and finding his
first love with the early broken-beat happy hardcore. He use to spend
endless hours digging through second hand record shops trying to find
that ultimate tune. 

Many teenagers spend months saving up
their pocket money to buy a new bike or computer game, but Howard was
different. He spent a whole summer digging up his parents backyard just
so he could afford a sound system for his mates party (where the
neighbours had moved out and gone camping by midnight, and the house
was left in a complete wreck). With his new-found roots he soon got his
dirty-mits on the mighty sound of Drum n Bass attending his first
proper rave in mid 2004(KitHill 2004). Howard was soon sneaking away at
weekends to One Nation partys in London &amp; Birmingham. By now he was
gaining vital experience playing out at every house party within his
local area. Getting frustrated by promoters not taking him seriously as
a underage Dj, he was driven deep into the underground southwest rave
scene, stirring up fans and friends from every direction he was fast
grabbing the attention of local crews and soon found himself playing
with J-Damm &amp; Doomka. He was taken in by the Dnbjungle.net commuity
and made a proper family member by all involved. 

Through other
episodes in his life he found his way onto a music course studying at
local studios, building a home set-up he found with production
software, you didn't have to be rich, classically trained with trombone
lessons to make music and barnstorming beats. This also lead him onto
being a key manager for the "Chew TV 2007 Youth Music Tour". 
He
completed a B-Tech in Sound Engineering &amp; Music Technology at Deep
Blue Sound (Plymouth) in June 2008. Since then he has played along side
Keaton, Moving Fusion, and most recently J-Majik at The NewBridge
Festival 2009, Howard continues to DJ &amp; produce Drum n Bass and is
currently studying for a Degree in Music Production at The School of
Sound Recording in Manchester.
