Dirty Bass (Steve D-Bass) has been making electronic music for around ten years. Heavily influenced by industrial music and bands like Ministry, Front 242, Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy in the early 90`s, Steve formed a band at this time, fusing the raw sounds of guitars and live drums with synths and samplers, and played the band scene in U.K.
His music progressed more and more into the electronic domain, absorbing the sounds of raves and early psy-trance. Eventually, in the late 90`s, Steve discovered the famous free party scene. He saw the raw power of the music that was really pulling the crowds -Techno- and was inspired to learn how to mix. By the end of the century he found himself fully involved in the London Techno free party scene organizing parties as part of Pendulum Sound System, regularly playing live, and playing extended techno DJ mixes. This culminated in a huge millennium techno rave right in the centre of London. Eventually the bubble burst as the free party scene fell into anarchy. So Steve pulled away from this side of the dance scene and re-focused his energy towards making the music, eventually releasing a record on his own label: DirtyBlue records.
After selling an overwhelming amount of vinyl for a first release and getting major plays from the big name DJ`s, particularly Sasha, Steve continues to develop his sound on his own label. He has also started to produce for labels outside of DirtyBlue Records such as Humanoid and Ascend Recordings. Recently he has finished and begun performing a new live PA, combining the rich palette of sounds that he has become known for into a serious journey for the mind as well as the feet. Keeping himself busy, Steve plans to take his live sound to as many people as he can, as well as continuing with production work for records, building a brotherhood of like-minded producers to collaborate and set up labels with, and a club night in London, always with the ethic of an open minded, and non-egotistical approach to life.
