So I bought this documentary Bass Impact awhile back like 2 summers ago to play for Scratch Camp movie night at Big Dub Festival but just didn’t get around to it. For my Junglists and the 140 Dubstep Heads this is 💯% for you. I remember my first exposure to 140 In the early 2000s at a Dirt Box Radio anniversary house party. So very peculiar how something feels like when your life is the underground, and you’ve watched the metamorphosis in real time. Obviously for me I’m talking about Electronica / EDM as a whole. Throwing outlaws, driving up and down the coast in a mad dash to feed the need for a sound that you couldn’t get anywhere else. Seeking out a vinyl record store like a blood hound in whatever town happen to you vacation at. Running events for no profit just because you can. We’ve all had our hand in bringing influential groundswells. We bout dat life.
I ended up watching Bass Impact on a flight yesterday, and it’s actually a very well done documentary. I’ve watched a lot of music documentaries on Rave Culture over my short little lifetime. Hell I’ve been in the culture since the mid 90s but more hardcore in the 2000s after I turned 18 in 1999. It’s also brings me so much joy to have seen most of the artists in this documentary perform, performed on the same flyers with, met with, chilled with, raged with, or booked.
(PS watching movies and documentaries in a VR headset on a plane is the absolute best after you get your free pretzels 🥨 and 🥤 crank up immersive mode and the fact you can’t move your legs or elbows really melts away. 😂)
