Bas Amro

An avid follower of the international techno and electronic scene, Bas Amro has become a walking catalogue of artists, labels and releases - all contributing to his growing sound. He grew up in a small town in eastern Holland where he also hosts one of the longest running club nights in the Netherlands; Basic Grooves. His unpretentious nature and modesty is reflective of his varying interests, and can be heard in his sets and productions. Expect to hear anything from broken beats, to dark minimal sounds, to sweet melodic tunes. With gigs in the UK, Spain, Panama, South Africa, Dominican Republic, Russia, to name but a few; his repertoire has become appropriate for just about any setting and atmosphere.

Today Bas Amro is breaking down sound barriers. His latest release, a techno remix of the trance classic, 'Simulated" by Marco V, has had ravers the world over waiting in anticipation for the vinyl-only release. His discography of over 30 releases, includes gems like 'Imposter Persona" and "Le Huitieme Arrondissement". Techno beats are at the forefront of his productions, with emphasis on hypnotic loops and catchy grooves.
