An Amsterdam based independent organization, promoting highly popular Trance events.

To listen to Billy Gillies is to capture true joy, because every song he produces and DJ set he performs radiates pure passion and vibrant spirit.

 

The Northern Irishman’s blend of quirky Eurodance synths, uplifting trance grandeur and hard-hitting bass rhythms goes beyond catchy melodies and expert timing, as breakout hits “Lagoon” and “Youth” tap into the very essence of what makes a night spent on the dancefloor with your best mates such a special experience.

 

That’s why he’s earned more than 145 million views on TikTok, filled a Creamfields tent with thousands of ravers at 1 p.m. on a Sunday, and why he’s managed to get an official remix of Madison Avenue’s 1999 hit “Don’t Call Me Baby” after ripping the iconic vocal off the internet.

 

Crowds chant his name from Taiwan to Texas because Billy Gillies dares to do something different; something unique to himself. Now, Billy Gillies is the next superstar-DJ-in-the-making, poised to take over the world.

 

Billy’s musical obsession started in the 2000s when his older sister started buying Clubland compilation CDs and dating a local DJ. One night, the boyfriend came over and brought his decks, but when the couple left to go dancing, 11-year-old Billy snuck into his sister’s room and started playing with the turntables.

 

“I was like, ‘what is this music? I love this,’” he laughs. “On the Christmas list for that year was a set of decks.”

 

His mom delivered with his first set of Kam belt drives, and Billy’s been mad for mixing ever since. Each Saturday, he’d head out of the house with a five Pound note and spend it on a new record (Tiesto’s Traffic being particularly influential). In turn, he’d spend the next week learning to mix that record in and out of his steadily growing collection.

 

When he was 17, he got his first taste of true Clubland. A year underaged, he caught an hour-long bus from Belfast to Banbridge and talked his way into a club called Coach. Japanese DJ Yoji Biomehanika and the UK’s own Lisa Lashes dropped heavy hard-house records all night, and Billy started dreaming of his own chance to rock a crowd, proper.

 

He knew that if he wanted to be an in-demand DJ, he’d have to come up with some original songs. In 2011, he locked himself in his bedroom with a copy of Ableton Live and didn’t come out until he’d mastered the basic trance sound.

 

He fell in love with music production and started sending his tracks to BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, who played them on his show every Friday night. For 19-year-old Billy, there was nothing better.

 

After spending much of his 20s as a self-described “party animal,” 28-year-old Billy once again locked himself inside his bedroom and churned out a ton of original tunes. The result? A spot on the lineup of Luminosity 2019 alongside major trance legends Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery and more. He played a set of all-original material, and when a recording was posted to Soundcloud, it earned more plays than any of the headliners.

 

“I’d brung a fresh sound into the trance scene,” Gillies says. “Everyone was making the same type of thing, where I just look back at my influences growing up and crammed it into the main trance style.”

 

International booking requests flooded in, sending him to Argentina to Australia—and then COVID struck. Many of his peers saw no point releasing music to a locked-down crowd, but Billy saw a chance to experiment.

 

“People need music in hard times, not just for clubs,” he says. “The music I was making around that time was proper emotional melodies, and it was resonating with everyone.”

 

He’d share each tune in a rough clip to Facebook or TikTok, and every post brought shares in the thousands. His fan base wasn’t just growing, it was ballooning, due in part not only to his masterful skills in the studio but also his effervescent personality that spills into each tune.

Bass Generator Records label and shop have been an institution since the scene’s beginning.

The first release on the label was back in 1990, then in 1993 with the huge selling release “The Event” plus help from Scott Brown’s early releases (Lord of Hardcore/Genetik), Bass Generator Records was quickly established as a major influence throughout the rave scene, especially in Scotland.

The label went on to release over 47 singles, distributed internationally, up to 1997.

Bass Generator opened a store in Newcastle in 1993, then in Edinburgh in 1995, both of which no longer exist.

Bass Generator Records went on to running one of the world’s biggest used vinyl record stores on Ebay in the mid 00′s.

Now based in central Scotland with a new team behind the scenes.
Bass Generator Records now has three sister labels:-
* BASS GENERATOR RECORDS DIGITAL
* HARDBOX RECORDS
* DE:FUZED DIGITAL – coming soon 2014

We also have been running the best online radio station 24/7 in the UK for the last 3 years, which has helped launch the career’s of some of the UK’s best up and coming artists as well as helped to spawn new events and record labels.

Whilst the Bass Generator Records shops may have gone we now have an online store and our Rave/Festival Essentials stall which attends most events and is up and down the whole of the UK every week.
We also have a massive stock of all our own clothing which no other label does and can be sent out next day for quick turnaround.

One of the main differences between the past and the current Bass Generator Records is the many other styles and genres that is now covered between all 4 labels, bringing the label right up to date with what is current in the scene. Our artists and producers come from all over the world as well as the UK and Ireland.

The current team work tirelessly to make sure that everything is in order and running as smooth as can be. And can also be found on nights out in and around the merchandise stall having fun.

BASS GENERATOR RECORDS SINCE 1990!
