BIRDY NAM NAM
[LIVE, FR]

You might know them from the MASSIVE somer anthem "Goin Hard" or from their award winning turntablism... but if you don't after November 14th you'll never forget them!
French quartet Birdy Nam Nam had already shook things up back in 2009 with A Manual For Successful Rioting : farewell, the playful and smokey abstract hip-hop heard on their first LP, and hello, heavy motorized electro beats design to cause mayhem in clubs and venues worldwide. The massive following tour could only confirm the band’s high profile on stage : performing live, members Crazy B, Pone, Need and Lil’Mike sound and look like a punk outfit raised on Bambaataa and Daft Punk rather than the Clash and the Pistols.
In 2010, BNN won a « Victoire de la musique » (the French equivalent of a Grammy award) in the electronic music category – David Guetta was also competing. Then they got back into their studio to start recording a third record. And they wanted to make something even more astonishing than their previous one. Something maybe a little less rockin and bangin, a little less obviously dance floor-oriented. Chance made that next to their studio was working Parisian producer Para One, a guy able to do techno anthems as well as digital funk jams, ambient soundtracks or future rap beats. The boys shared with him a set of common roots in hip-hop and its defining taste for wild synthesis of genres and vibes ; after a few coffee machines conversations, they all felt a collaboration could be really nice. Then three months later, the job was done : ideas were swapped and enchanced, going back and forth between the BNN lab and Para One’s unit, and the result is a rich, versatile creature, born from continuous sensitive work-out from the five artists.
Don't miss your chance to see them LIVE at Bassmentality November 14th!

MONSTA

MONSTA have been described as having the melodic synth thrum of Flux Pavilion, the tech-soul vocal drops of Moby and the reverberant snares of trip-hop act U.N.K.L.E. -but their sound is instrument-based and largely sample-free and it was Skrillex who found them. The trio (producers Rocky and Rufio and vocalist Skaar) will release their first EP on the electronic dance music (EDM) star's indie imprint OWSLA this summer.

NICK THAYER

"Nick is one of the most versatile producers I know ... taking everything from house to drum and bass to moombahton and putting his own forward-thinking spin on it. Not genre bound, just music bound." - Skrillex
Making his 2nd appearance at Bassmentality, welcome back Owsla artist NICK THAYER to the stage as he brings his hip-hop heavy blend of Moombahton, Dubstep and more to Wrongbar once again!
