Massief

We are a community based event, driven by a passion and connection to Bass Freak-wincy and Breakbeat Culture. MASSIEF strives to provide a platform for Artists, Deejays and Creatives to explore their sound and make their own contribution to Breakbeat and Underground Bass Music culture. Over the past couple of years, our concept has been hosted on Echobox.radio and a string of venues around Amsterdam, most notably; Noordspace, De Hintergarten, Bar Dancing Multipla, and OT301, where MASSIEF has showcased a range of local and international artists who encompass Bass and Breakbeat Culture in their own unique way.
Featuring:

Tamen (IE/AU)Irish DJ and producer Tamen (Naarm/Melbourne) headlines MASSIEF, bringing a dynamic selection that has seen him shell dancefloors from Berlin to London, major European festivals like Outlook and Sun & Bass, and Keep Hush in Eora/Sydney. Known for his lethal, high-energy DJ sets and razor-sharp sound design, Tamen has built an impressive catalog alongside long-time collaborator Pugilist and POD, putting out releases on top-tier imprints including Samurai Music, Rupture, 3024, Trule, Dext, Repertoire, Straight Up Breakbeat, Echo Chamber, Basics, and Ruff Kutz. With heavyweight support from the likes of Mantra, Om Unit, and Tim Reaper—and a string of upcoming vinyl releases on Modern Hypnosis, Ruff Kutz, and Samurai—expect an uncompromising journey through sub-heavy breaks, jungle, and unreleased dubs. Watch ya bass bins!

Déandrah (VJ)

The visuals that Déandrah presents are an investigation of the subconscious and the unconscious derived from fiction and real world matters. This revelatory ethos comes from how sound and vision are integrated through media, both mainstream and not, in order to manipulate the emotions and the perceptions of the viewer. Déandrah exhibits their creativity by amalgamating images, concepts of initiation, the banal with the strange, the obvious with the obscure, to seek new avenues of exploration and to short-circuit the training the brain has already had to be accepting without thought.
