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 1990s, 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 didnt 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 its 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 UKs 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. Stay tuned to this channel for more Bassplugger
