OLIE BASSWEIGHT continues to tirelessly forward the dubstep sound in New Zealand as a producer, DJ, label boss and promoter - living and breathing bass music for the best part of a decade.
Heavily involved in dubstep since the birth of the NZ scene in 2006 (after several years DJing drum and bass), OLIE BASSWEIGHT continues to foster local talent (recently establishing the DubClash national dubstep DJ competition) as well as being responsible, solely or in collaboration, for bringing top-tier international artists to New Zealand and Australia including: Scuba, Distance, The Bug, Antiserum, Datsik, Bass Nectar, Mala and Coki and more.
OLIE BASSWEIGHT has released his own productions on a number of respected labels including: Section 8, Rottun, Convoy Ultd, Eight:fx, Gamma Audio, Betamorph, Empathy, Optimus Gryme, Monkey Dub and of course his own imprint - Bassweight Recordings.
Bassweight Recordings was the first dubstep label in the South Pacific region, spearheaded by Olie in an effort to provide an outlet for the talent rapidly springing forth on on the rising wave of dubstep. Since its inception in 2006, Bassweight Recordings has gone from strength to strength. Now 16 releases deep, the roster boasts many well established and up-and-coming artists from New Zealand and abroad. P Vans, Detail, Organikismness, Helixr and Perverse are just a few of the names to grace the Bassweight Recordings discography.
