about
OLIE BASSWEIGHT continues to tirelessly forward the dubstep sound in New Zealand as a producer, DJ, label boss and promoter - living and breathing bass music for the best part of a decade. Heavily involved in dubstep since the birth of the NZ scene in 2006 (after several years DJing drum and bass), OLIE BASSWEIGHT continues to foster local talent (recently establishing the DubClash national dubstep DJ competition) as well as being responsible, solely or in collaboration, for bringing top-tier international artists to New Zealand and Australia including: Scuba, Distance, The Bug, Antiserum, Datsik, Bass Nectar, Mala and Coki and more. An experienced DJ, known for his tight mixing and flowing sets, OLIE BASSWEIGHT is also a prolific creator of electronic music (a passion sparked in his childhood following a chance encounter with techno, and fueled with the purchase of his first drum machine at the age of 14). As a producer, OLIE BASSWEIGHT's music comes from the heart and conjures images of the Aotearoan landscape - a geomusicalogical symbiosis forged through attending and playing at many outdoor festivals located throughout the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. While happily at home tearing down venues throughout New Zealand and Australia, it is in an outdoor setting that OLIE BASSWEIGHT's music and djing really coalesce and take on a new vibrancy. A deep connection through bass into the earth itself, unfettered by the walls and man-made structures of Babylon. OLIE BAS
