Bassplugger

Bassplugger (aka nükie & alex c) has been laying out beats since the late nineties. Since these two originally hail from Dallas, Texas, they were heavily influenced by the dirty warehouse music from the early 1990’s, which was quite prevalent in that area during the time. It was there that they both became hooked to those strange electronic sounds and were ultimately forced to do something about it. Although the two didn’t know each other at the time, they eventually teamed up in Southern California around 1999 and soon began laying the foundation for the Bassplugger sound, which exists today. Bassplugger first hit the scene in 2000 with their single “White Noise / Seduce and Destroy” ( Beatnix Labs Recordings) which enjoyed a good deal of success despite it’s limited pressing. Following that point, they continued to further develop their sound with a succession of releases, which claimed spots on DJ charts across the globe. Their next two singles, “Cortex,” and “Sumac” captured the ear of an even wider audience, and helped to spread their sound worldwide. In 2002 they signed the tech-funk stormers “Counterflow/Jawbreaker” to the Moonshine Green label, which enjoyed tremendous club chart success and gave them a secure foothold in the breakbeat arena. 2002 also saw the seminal remix of their track “Sumac” by the UK’s Future Funk Squad for the En:vision Recordings label, which was charted and supported by top-notch talent everywhere. More recently, the duo has been up to their necks in music, heavy on remix duty in the studio with current and up-coming remixes of Odeed, Baby Anne, and Beatnix Labs’ Mad Huban. They have also been perfecting their live show for a full bombardment of the senses in the very near future. And, of course, more singles are in the works as well.
