About Me

The Basic is as The Basic does...from the depths of Bristol into the depths of space! Eclectic DJ, promoter, producer, writer, and office zombie. Currently only famous in my front room. Fascinated by creating the perfect melody. Searching the galaxies in my quest to make music to break hearts and melt brains...

My DJ style: electronica, electro, house, techno, breaks, acid, garage, minimal, italo, experimental.

...and that's just what I listened to before breakfast! :-)

But genre-wise my main loves are 60s psychedelia, 70's post punk, 80's italo disco, synthpop, and early house music, 90's underground indie, shoegazing and dreampop and from there into the naughty noughties... anything that tickles my audio funny bone but mainly eclectic 4/4 sounds for the Bristol heavy heavy heads...

Throughout the last decade or so I've been having a very indiscreet and messy love affair with techno so that's what I DJ to people who also like Techno.

Movies:

Intacto
Azumi
Casshern
House Of Flying Daggers
Nine Queens
Cronos
The Big Lebowski
Bombon
The Edukators
Battle Royale
La Haine
Primer
Brotherhood...

...basically anything out of the normal structure of Hollywood so I mainly get my lookin' balls on European and Asian cinema. Anything that actually makes you think...y'know, like Smokey And The Bandit.

Television:

The only TV series you ever need is Heimat. Watch it and then smash your TV, because everything else will seem so poor in comparison...

Books:

Currently reading the back of a Corona beer bottle.

Heroes:

Heroes will only break your heart baby.
