THE ORIGINS OF THE BASSTRIX
Founded by Drum & Bass MC Ashley Kenward (otherwise known as Twisted MC) The Basstrix was born toward the end of his time living in New Zeland. Wanting to create a night with a strong identity and concept behind it, after much rumiration, the name and idea behind "The Basstrix" came to Ash like a bolt from the blue one evening.
Upon arriving back in the UK and setting up roots in Hull, Ash wasted no time in recruiting DJ & MC talent from multiple scenes and brands in the area and the vision for the Basstrix came alive at the launch night in November 2024. The Basstrix is now a two person operation, with DJ, Producer & Label Owner Twelve Step Audio joining the team at the start of 2025, bringing a wealth of experience and ideas both on and off the stage.
BRINGING TALENT TOGETHER
The Basstrix aims to bring together the best DJ & MC talent, from various D&B and dance brands both from the city of Hull and beyond. We aim to unify Hulls incredible talent pool with a twist of external flavour to spice up the dance floor.
The Basstrix has now set up roots at the iconic Polar Bear music club in Hull, a grassroots venue that regularly plays host to the finest talents and events brands in the city. With a number of events scheduled throughout 2025 and a strong focus on production value, The Basstrix promises an auditory and visual experience unlike any other!
