Bass Kleph & Anthony Paul

about

Collaboration between: Bass Kleph: He's a Beatport and ARIA dance chart #1 act and remixer. The boss of two labels, a successful pop songwriter and one of the few truly and awesomely live jamming DJs on the festival circuit - Bass Kleph can do it all. He started both 2010 and 2011 with Beatport #1s - the first his enormous remix of Shakedown, and the second with his own track I'll be OK. Then an ARIA chart #1 in his native Australia, four tours of the US, his first gig in the mainroom of Ministry in the UK, a local tour for his 2011 compilation BASS KLEPH: PRESENTS - and the continuing success of his live touring outfit BKCA with pop songwriter Chris Arnott.

# Why This Collaboration Matters This project brings together two artists with fundamentally different approaches to electronic music: one a technically virtuosic live performer comfortable across multiple genres and commercial spaces, the other a collaborator whose work invites deeper listening. What emerges is neither pure dancefloor product nor experimental indulgence, but something that respects both sensibilities. The album demonstrates how disciplined craft in production can coexist with genuine spontaneity in execution. Rather than compromise their respective strengths, Bass Kleph and Anthony Paul seem to have used their differences as creative friction—the kind that produces work worth revisiting, where details reveal themselves gradually rather than demanding immediate gratification.
