Beatport #1 remixer (Shakedown), label boss (Vacation Records), successful pop songwriter ($pend My Money), compilation King (Ministry of Sound), one of the few DJs who can sell tens of thousands of albums while slaying tens of thousands from a festival main stage.
Be proud; it’s Australia’s very own, Bass Kleph and he’s about to hit the Home of the Underground.
Nothing about Bass Kleph is cliché (except that he proves the best DJs getting the girls on the dancefloor). While other 15-yr-olds were mastering Sonic the Hedgehog, Stu Tyson (Bass Kleph) was touring Australia and New Zealand as the drummer of three-piece rock act, Loki. It was when the group got their first album back from mastering when he noticed the drums were too quiet. In fact, why couldn’t they do more with a drum machine? And that was it - the rock world had no chance of holding onto him. He’s been DJing ever since.
But for Bass Kleph it’s not just about DJing. His Vacation Records label has had tracks featured on ARIA nominated albums and charts all over the world. Releasing and collaborating with international talent like Wolfgang Gartner, Micky Slim, Mowgli, and big locals like Hook n Sling, Stupid Fresh, Tommy Trash, fRew, Dopamine, Bass Kleph's labels and his music have helped popularise a wonderfully Australian view of the world. Bass Kleph is irreverent, but humble and self-depreciating – and that’s why we love him.
