10 years ago the Wellington Drum and Bass scene was passionate and enthused but lacked a cohesive force focused on its future development.
Bass Frontiers stepped up to the plate and brought the capital well promoted and presented local parties and moved its organisational skills on quickly to ensure Wellington continued to host the flurry of big name international DJs that were passing through New Zealand.
It wasn't long before this dedication paid off for everyone in Wellington and indeed New Zealand as their parties became legendary, not only around the rest of New Zealand, but globally with big name artists longing for their next opportunity to share another night with the scene that Bass Frontiers was so instrumental in developing.
Artists like Grooverider, Ed Rush & Optical, DJ Marky, Doc Scott, Bailey, Klute, Andy C, Goldie, Zinc, DJ Hype, Dillinja & Lemon D have all fell for the vibe that Bass Frontiers has nurtured so skillfully. This passion is not just shared by the touring artists though. There is not many true Drum and Bass fans across the country that havn't made the effort to travel to experience the Wellington vibe, and we could safely say they always left wanting more.
In 2009, the Wellington Drum and Bass scene is the healthiest it has ever been, and without the hard work and continuously sublime parties from Bass Frontiers, there is no doubt it would not be of the standard it is today.
