Bass Kleph

Bass Kleph writes the kind of tracks where the whole club does a double take, then bum rushes the DJ to find out what the F##K is this?!?. It’s a dirty, bouncy, querky, sexy, sensory assault of less is more Tech/Electro. A mash of straight beats, and break beats, big bass and house treats. It’s that… well it’s that Bass Kleph sound.

He describes the sound as a war on average, fought by Amazonian swimsuit models with machine guns, and he’s not too far off. DJ, producer, label owner/manager, mix engineer and radio show host. Bass Kleph has a finger in every music industry pie in town. Not only that, but he also happens to have one of the hottest, most in demand, individual sounds of now.

Bass Kleph is also the man behind the hot new record label Vacation Records. The Vacation hype has spread world wide already and their tracks are being played by DJs such as Micky Slim, Ian Pooley, Utah Saints, Sarah Main, John Aquaviva, JDS, Ali B, Unique 3, Lisa Lashes and many more.
