A1 BASSLINE at Stealth (Bank Holiday Sunday 1st May)

As we had mentioned previously, Bank Holiday Sunday May 1st sees the return of THE INDOOR FESTIVAL to Stealth, The Rescue Rooms and Rock City.

One of the acts we are most looking forward to seeing is Croydon's finest - A1 BASSLINE.

A1 BASSLINE (Southern Fried Records/Tighten Up)

"I’m a 23 year old producer who lives just outside of Croydon and i produce house music with influences from drum and bass, garage, grime and mainly uk sounding dance music."

After cutting his production teeth with the drum and bass genre, Christian Sibthorpe went on to form the nu-rave band 'Partyshank', before moving onto the more bass-heavy side of Electro, Garage & Techno under his A1 Bassline alias. His first release, the "Girl Thing" EP was released in 2008, and immediately gained support from the likes of Annie Mac, Sinden & Kissy Sell Out.

A1 Bassline's 2nd EP "Bad Man Horror", was released on Fatboy Slim's Label Southern Fried and reached the heady-heights of number 2 in the MTV dance chart, smashing up clubs via the likes of DJs Fake Blood, Armand Van Helden, Jack Beats, Steve Aoki, Jaymo & Andy George, Bloody Beetroots & Rob Da Bank. This was followed by the 'Breathless' EP, released via Southern Fried during the summer of 2010:



In late 2010 A1 Bassline set up the label 'Tighten Up' alongside Tek-One & Kavsrave, releasing the single 'Stabs' following support from Boys Noize, Feadz, Jack Beats & DJ Zinc:



A1 Bassline's latest offering shows he's been moving with the times. 'Shock Headed' sounds like the kind of massive stripped-down dancefloor bomb you might hear on Swamp81. Built around booming sub-bass, electro drums and chopped, slowed down, industrially heavy breaks, smacked-out hip-hop vocals melding everything together, its crying out for a loud club soundsystem to fully appreciate it.

Flip over, and there's more deep sub-action on '1.4.7', whose rigid house sits somewhere between Julio Bashmore's dirtybird antics and Boddika's less paranoid moments:

A1 BASSLINE at Stealth this Saturday @ Stealth Vs Rescued

This Saturday ( Saturday 27th March ) we have another massive Stealth Vs Rescued event, and to headline we are glad to welcome back Croydon's finest A1 BASSLINE.


After cutting his production teeth with the drum and bass genre, he went on to form the nu-rave band 'Partyshank', before moving onto the more bass-heavy side of Electro, Garage & Techno under his A1 Bassline alias. His first release, the "Girl Thing" EP was released in 2008, and immediately gained support from the likes of Annie Mac, Sinden & Kissy Sell Out.

The bands were soon knocking on his door for remixes - including Little Boots, Buraka Som Sistema, Yo Majesty, The Qemists, Frankmusik & Ladyhawke.

A1 Bassline's 2nd EP "Bad Man Horror", was released on Fatboy Slim's Label Southern Fried and reached the heady-heights of number 2 in the MTV dance chart, smashing up clubs via the likes of DJs Fake Blood, Armand Van Helden, Jack Beats, Steve Aoki, Jaymo & Andy George, Bloody Beetroots & Rob Da Bank.

Look out for his upcoming collaborations with Foamo, Shinichi Osawa, Example & Tek One, as well as his new EP "Breathless" (coming on Southern Fried in April 2010).
