Bassface

After celebrating 10 years of Bassface with their biggest event to date, Bassface returns in 2024 with another banger of a line-up. Returning to the main room in Simplon, they bring two iconic drum&bass artists in the form of John B and Nymfo.

As one of the most iconic and unique people in drum&bass, how does one even start to explain who John B is? He has been releasing music for over 25 years ago, is the highest ever ranking DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100, runs his own iconic label in Beta Recordings and has released some of the most iconic tracks in drum&bass ever on some of the biggest labels in the scene such as Metalheadz, Hospital Records, Creative Source and Formation Records. All of that and we haven’t even started about DJing yet. Some people may recognize John B from his eccentric looks and presence, both on stage and in his successful Twitch streams, but if you’ve been to any of his shows you will know that it is an amazing experience even with your eyes closed. It is hard to categorize his sets as they can be bright and happy as well as hard, dark and deep, like his discography shows too. John B has done an excellent job in staying relevant for over 25 years, just by doing what he does best: something else than other people.

With Nymfo, we’re bringing in one of the Netherlands’ best producers and we’re super excited. If you’re a long time Bassface visitor, you might remember Nymfo coming over when we had just moved to Simplon. A lot has changed on both sides since then and it’s about time we do it again! Nymfo has released music on some of our favorite drum&bass labels, for example Metalheadz, CIA, Spearhead, Dispatch, and RAM Records, not forgetting his own recently started label LFLF (which is a home to Bassface friends Dava and Felov too!). We’re excited to hear where the future of his label and his music is going and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be sick!

Support comes from experienced Groningen based DJs Pacify and Bikkelneck, as well as the Bassface Crew.
