Steppas Choice 369: The mighty Tengu Collective: Dread Mountain Bass (26.01.2015)

I'm more than proud to welcome the mighty Tengu Collective for a massive Bass Session @ Steppas Choice!
The Boys from the Tengu Crew are making waves in the Bass Scene in Switzerland not only with their wicked selection of foundation Bass & Futuristic Soundsystem Music but also with their heavenly and with perfection executed Soundsystem. If you ever witnessed a dance running on the Tengu Soundsystem you should know what I'm talking 'bout! And for those who don't know: Don't miss out on them when they're playing close to you! But not only the overwhelmingly good Soundsystem they built is gonna make the dance go crazy, it's also the Dubplates they have in their crates!
Taiken & Flexible, both Sonic Bass Wave Producer par excellence, are delivering true beauty on a Dubplate with their own production...
and the rumour goes that they have new ones in the pipeline... maybe we will here them...
I'm really looking forward to this one and you should to! Make sure you're logged in, logged on!

Steppas Choice 249: Kolt' & Guyus - Hosted by C4TR

Tonight @ Steppas Choice

Kolt’ & Guyus
Another big one for the fourth Instalment of Steppas Choice on FM is going take place this Monday evening!
Both of them are well known in the scene and have been infected with Bass since a decade,
both of them mastered the art of switching between styles during a set in a miraculous way and
both of them are members of legendary crews

Kolt’, who’s gonna open the night, is a foundation Steppa, a subbass addict since the early days. He is around since the earliest Dubstep Radio Shows on Radio Radius, he played tons of sets at different parties, from very small to rather big, to put it short: Kolt’ is one of the most active and most forward thinking Bassaddict that I know. Together with his Unreleased Kollektiv he’s a force to reckon with!


Guyus, who completely blasted me away with his set at GetDarker, is also making waves in the scene since day dot. Organising Parties in Basel in the early days and nowadays with New.com as DubExMachina, Guyus is a busy Soundbwoy. Always wanted them DubExMachina Guys over in the show – even more after the before mentioned GetDarker Set! So finally here we are: Get ready for Guyus! Big Up DubExMachina!

Selector Lloyd - Dubplate Dappa Don & Living Legend - will serve the finest Dub / Reggae and thereabouts from the backyards of Kingston / Jamaica to the grimey suburbs of the UK! Expect a wicked selection!

Chezz - Headhoncho of the GetFilthy.ch Crew & long time Bass Addict - will showcase his definition of Dubstep & Bass-Driven Music. He can throwback to some heavy gems and productions from a wide range of Bassheads. You might even here stuff that he will release on his own imprint GetFilthy Digital!

Big MD - Bass Enthusiast and founder of the X-Amount Crew - will showcase why he's running Zurich on a regular Base! All I can say is he can play a set covering all the steps it took to get from UK Garage / 2 Step to Dubstep. Although he still doesn't believe that there's a link between House / Chicago House and UK Garage.... ; ))

Steppas Choice 170: Chezz & C4TR

Steppas Choice 170: Chezz & C4TR
Broadcasted on the 4th of April 2011

Out of the Dust of a new Generation of BASS Heads, on a mission to push different strains of Dubstep / Bass Music, a man like Chezz emerged and came to showcase what he calls proper spanking Bass Madness: Deep'n'Dark morphing Basslines with sophisticated Swung out riddims. Chezz part of the Dubsludge Collective appeared at least for me with the launch of the Swiss Dubstep Forum.
As you might know my plan was always to support each and everyone who's active and pushing the sound. So it was clear that I hooked him up and offered him to come and play! So without further explanation,
Enjoy the Show!

Steppas Choice 169: DJ Taiken & C4TR

Broadcasted on the 28th of March

It’s a pleasure to welcome a new breed in the show; second one this year after Big MD. And it’s even a bigger pleasure to me because he’s hailing from my origins the east of Switzerland. DJ Taiken, representing UphillProjects and hailing from St. Gallen came over to presents us what he calls Dubstep. I can tell you it was serious bass!
He was also the first to experience the new interview form that I set up and which every DJ is requested to fill out! Just thought would be nice to know where they come from, what the feel and foremost the ultimate question:

What is this thing called Dubstep in their opinion?

And since this is the reason to exist for Steppas Choice I stay curious, curious in what Bass will bring next? Progression / Evolution / Mutation?

Here comes Taiken’s Explanation in Interview form and as podcast!
Enjoy the experience!

Steppas Choice 168: C4TR in the hot seat

Broadcasted on the 21st of March 2011

Actually it was planned to have a man called Zenit in the show alongside his partner in Dub Faustizm but…
I got a call from Zenit around lunchtime where he announced that he won’t make it to play his bass heavy tunes in the show due to a problem with the city council of Bienne. The problem was that the city council planned to destroy the place were Zenit and Faustizm had their creative laboratories probably to build a shopping centre or business house or something of sort, which will bring more money (and less fame than having two brilliant ARTists which enrich the city with cultural goods). It seems like the old battle between Economics (equals Money Making) and Art (you know… this thing that really makes us human) reached one of the street art strongholds in Switzerland (at least that was always my impression while being in Bienne). So Faustizm and Zenit occupied with an emergency meeting to discuss the future of their creative facility and what to do about the plans of the city council I was on my own to do this show…
So there is another one with C4TR in the hot seat – proper bass madness as usual!
Enjoy!

Steppas Choice 166: Elusive Bastard & C4TR

Steppas Choice 166: Elusive Bastard & C4TR
Broadcasted on the 7th of March 2011

A farewell to an Elusive Bastard.
Oh Bwoy where should I start…
I met Svenski one Thursday Night, if I’m not completely wrong something like five to six years ago for one of the legendary Jungle Rocket Drum’n’Bass Shows. I was so thrilled to be on a Radio Show, broadcasting the music I liked, and still like, to a wider mass of fellow Jungleists, that I told Svenski that I would return two weeks later for the next show. Svenski was in for it and that was the start of my radio days and the beginning of a deep musically friendship. Svenski, always motivated to discover and on the look out for new bass music, was also the one who brought in the genre this blog is nearly all about: Dubstep. After running Jungle Rocket together with Svenski for quiet a while, increasing it’s popularity, organising every now and then a meeting of Bass Junkies at various BPM’s, conquering FM Radio in Zurich with the Jungle Rocket Invasion at Lora and sinking don’t know how many gallons of beer, I left the Jungle Rocket Radio Show to do Steppas Choice. That didn’t end our friendship. Svenski was still running Jungle Rocket Radio Show and it was only a question of time until he showed up in one of the Steppas Choice Shows. The reason for that was of course the highly infectious effect of Bass, which is omnipresent in Dubstep. So when Svenski showed up to serve the Bass Madness he didn’t only bring an excellent selection of bass driven, swung out tunes he also came along with a new name: Elusive Bastard. Under this moniker he came to grace the show several times, either as a DJ or as a fellow friend in Bass. I was always pleased to have him in the show because it always had this surprisingly moment init. ELU was one of the first to play the funky strain of UK Bass Music and he was also strongly connected to new breads of the Bass Music strain.
So this show sums up the essence of ELU, although this is nearly impossible considering that man’s knowledge and collection of absolutely hideous smashers.
So to end this farewell to an Elusive Bastard I just want to say the following:
Thank you Sven for everything, for the chitchats, the pointing out of new exciting music, for the cover shows, all the adventures in bass and last but not least for your friendship!
Sven, Svenski, Elusive Bastard, ELU: I wish you all the best for your future and may your dreams become true!
Bass bless’
