BASSMAN:
Music saved Bassman’s life. Not in a cheesy sense. But genuinely. The earliest chapters of this Shadow Demon’s journey are peppered with tales of real life naughtiness… If it wasn’t for the beats, you would be reading a totally different story right now.
Luckily someone had the good sense to pass him a mic. That man was Carl Cox. Having done the time to back up the badboy rhymes, Bassman grasped the opportunity and plundered his years of musical inspiration. From the childhood Kingston soundtrack of Dennis Brown, Marley and Eek-A-Mouse to the early 80s at Birmingham’s legendary Medicine Bar understudying the city’s myriad reggae bands, Bassman dug deep for lyrical fire… It’s been burning ever since.
Encouraged and nurtured by scene-shaping forefathers such as Cox, Micky Finn, Sly and Sasha, Bassman soon found himself as an MC-du-jour for some of the most epoch-defining raves of the early 90s, including Castle Morten ‘92 to over 20,000 smiley-plastered party freaks. With a raw ragga-muffin style, over 1000 one-liners to his name and distinctive trademark bubbles and banter with the crowd, his reputation spread to a global level paving the way for the many mic-munching mandem who followed. That’s why they call him The Teacher.
