We just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us at for the Bass Is The Place event during ADE.

It was wonderful to see new and familiar faces engage in a topic that is very close to our hearts. Your presence and curiosity made the afternoon truly special.

A heartfelt salute to Adrian Sherwood, Rozaly, and Mijke Hurkx for their thoughtful participation on the panel. Your raw insights on sound system culture and its current state stirred the pot and created a conversation that resonated deeply.

We’re incredibly proud to welcome Adrian Sherwood to our Bass Is The Place panel. For over 40 years, Adrian has been a true pioneer, shaping the sounds of dub, reggae, and beyond through his trailblazing work as a producer and founder of the iconic On-U Sound label. His influence spans countless collaborations with artists like Lee Scratch Perry, Prince Far I, and Horace Andy, and his remixes have reached everyone from Nine Inch Nails to Blur.

It’s hard to condense such an extensive career, but Adrian’s dedication to experimenting with sound has been felt far and wide, with a catalog that spans decades and a constant drive to push boundaries. Recent projects like “Midnight Rocker” and “Lucifer on the Moon” are proof that his visionary approach remains as fresh and exciting as ever.

Having Adrian on the panel is a privilege, and we’re thrilled to dive into the history of his work and the evolving influences of Caribbean music. Expect an insightful conversation from one of the most forward-thinking minds in sound 💚

We’re excited to welcome Rozaly as a panelist for Bass Is The Place. A sonic practitioner, curator, and DJ from Curaçao, he is committed to breaking boundaries surrounding Caribbean sounds and expanding the narratives that define them. His approach, tinged with absurdism, seeks to unearth collective memories and lost heritage, providing a refreshing perspective that complements our focus on Caribbean influence in modern sound.

With performances at Dekmantel Festival, Nyege Nyege, and De School, and as a resident DJ at Garage Noord, Rozaly brings a wealth of experience to the table. He also curates and designs sound for various art and music projects, collaborating with renowned brands and artists alike. His dedication to showcasing authentic sonic experiences from the Caribbean is an invaluable addition to our panel, and we look forward to the insights he will share during our discussion 💛
