Now a few words from paistyboy. Hi I'm a 16 year old producer living in Hertfordshire, Britain. Says paistyboy. I've always been into music since I was very young and have always been interested in the music making process. I am a classically bassoon player and have been forced to take part in music for the whole of my life.
I started producing music around 2007/2008 and have advanced a-lot since then due to many an hour spent laboring in front of a computer screen.
Welcome Knight Riderz strait out of Canada these two make a perfect example of what a Multi Genre Bass Music producer is. They have everything drums that bang, melodies that romance, and synths that rip your senses into new dimensions. Knight Riderz have a heavy harmonic flavor all their own. With backgrounds in Reggae, Hip Hop, Metal, and Classical music there is literally no confines or rules to their output. I recommend you keep an eye out for theses two. I have a feeling they will be doing big things!

This is my version of "Take a Penny, Leave a Penny". Only with music. Soundcloud did a really interesting thing with there widgets, allowing people to make pools of tracks that are community funded. I put these groups together hopeful to find new music that could be categorized as multi Genre Bass Music. So far it has worked pretty well. Hopefully this will be a good resource/starting point for both DJ and Producer. Since they can both share and find tracks very easily. These are ever growing sources of tracks, most of them free! I would recommend checking on it frequently. Soundcloud has made some new rules in regards to downloads. Some tracks have limits to the amount of times they are downloaded. But I believe that they reset every month. If you have a track you would like to share please drop it in the appropriate drop box located above each player. If you are looking for new track check them out there are some good ones!
Here is an up-beat munti genre mix by Kminus1. Take a minute to check out Kminus1 he was kind enough to share a mix with us and a little bit of info about himself. He recently did a remix of a track that was a counterfeit of a Prodigy track "http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Prodigy-The-Castbreeder/release/630459". You can check it out on Kminus1's Soundcloud account "Collapse - Junkie XL (kminus1 remix)". Kminus1 had a few things to say about himself so...
My general influences include electronica from all eras. Says Kminus1. Genres including drum & bass, break beat, big beat, dub-step, glitch, and acid house. I also enjoy elements of metal music, guitar distortion, feedback and wild drum sections! The Bristol music scene is another of my influences. Artists such as Roni Size and Massive Attack. Other musical influences include Peaches, The Hacker, Nine Inch Nails, Lemon Jelly, Daft Punk, Adam Freeland, Skull Disco, Amon Tobin, Ltj Bukem, and Photek amongst others.
More artists who've been hugely influential to me include, Tangerine Dream (Rubycon LP), Squarepusher, Fat Boy Slim, Vivaldi, Amon Tobin, Eat Static, Futures Untold, Rage Against The Machine, Nick Drake, Adam Freeland, Koma & Bones, Evil 9, Skull Disco, and The Hacker
Some non musical influences are free parties, gyrating women, and falling on the floor in a strip club. I suppose you could say, there isn't much that doesn't go into it!
I respect all the free thinking musicians out there. Those who stick to their values within music.

Allow me to introduce you to BRAINPAIN. A 28 year old producer from Poland. BRAINPAIN has a sound with so much aggressive bass, that if given a proper sound system could possibly give you brain pain. Here are a few things you may or may not know about BRAINPAIN. Directly from the source.
I have been making music since 1995 says BRAINPAIN. I was fifteen years old when I started. I didn't even have a half way decent computer. I used a broken Amiga, headphones form a walkman, a Casio keyboard (The kind for children), and a cassette player. This was my first recording studio. Now I am working mainly with Reason, FL studio, Cubase, Ableton live, and Audition. I produce dubstep, dark heavy drum n bass, breakcore, experimental-electronica, drill and bass, down tempo, etc... Many genres with broken beats or broken bass.
So far I have released mostly drum n bass on various lables. But you can prepare to see dub step releases soon. I am the director of Dubsaw Recordings (sub-label of Mindsaw Recordings). We have many new tracks that will be hitting the clubs soon. You can expect to see releases form Culprate, Barbarix, Suspect & Switchdubs, Rakoon, Koan, Wachs Lyrical, Veelk (A.K.A. I:GOR), and many more. -BRAINPAIN.
Dr. Colossus. This is someone that I just recently met. He is multi-genre bass dj/producer with a fetish for the Ragga sound! Dr. Colossus started growing his Glitched-Out Bass-Driven Ragga Beast by planting his seed deep in Punk around 2000 and feeding it a steady diet of UK Hip-Hop, Drum and Bass, Nu-School Jungle and Break-Core. I even heard, that for a nominal fee, you can get him to bring the Beast to your town to show your friends! ;-)
Dr. Colossus was kind enough to share a mix with us, er....half of a mix with us. I guess that the other half is for him to dispose of as he sees fit! He even wrote something about himself which is great because now I don't have to. =)
My name is Dr. Colossus and I'm a Jungle / Hip Hop / Punk / Yardcore / Multi-GenreBass Music dj/producer from London. I started out, a few years back, doing ragga-jungle. But, these days, I play mash-ups and make mash-ups of everything.
This mix, found below, is a recording from the first part of a show I played at a rave called Fuxmas that was set up by NFA at the end of 2007. The rave is called Fuxmas because its always takes place around Christmas. This is one of my favorite parties because it has this really nice family vibe with free food, quizzes and stuff. I cut off the second half because it has some exclusive stuff that I didn't want to put out on the internet. You're going to have to catch me live to catch that stuff.
It was very surreal playing this rave. I was all prepared to travel for miles to get to the rave and then I looked up the location on Google Maps and it turned out it was literally across the road from my house. Because it was around Christmas, I had family staying over at my house which made it a very surreal night. My night went from playing a gig at a squat party, to being a bit wrecked and crossing the road for some dinner with my grandma (she's a cool grandma) , to finally going back to the rave. Although its got some rough edges, and is a bit short, this is probably my favorite mix that I have done.
-Dr. Colossus
