Bass Science fuses dubstep, glitch hop, IDM and dub into a fresh new sound that is simultaneously filthy and extremely clean. In less than a year since their inception, they have created a prolific body of work and electrified dancefloors across the globe: call it glitchstep, call it dubhop, call it what you will, Bass Science’s hybrid sounds are generating a cabinet-rattling buzz. Based between Tokyo and Los Angeles, the duo of MattB and Steve Nalepa has quickly earned a reputation for their powerful live show: in short order, they’ve dazzled crowds at seminal festivals like UK’s Glade and Los Angeles’ Low End Theory, with globetrotting gigs spanning Asia, Europe and the US. Bass Science’s tracks, meanwhile, have received enthusiastic support from influential DJs like the BBC’s Mary Anne Hobbs and Annie Nightingale, Resonance FM’s Nick Luscombe, with regular rotation on Dubstep.FM. With remixes in the works for Adam Freeland and Evil Nine, vinyl EPs due out on Elektrik Dragon and Detroit Underground, and upcoming releases on Blood Tribe Records and Combat Recordings’s new imprint Bankai Audio, Bass Science is blowing up, and not just speakers.
