BASSPET 🐾
human name: Sylvie
pronouns: she/her, it/its
hometown: rochester, NY
currently: Seattle

music origins:
I was solely into pop music until i was around 18, and then I went to a 100 Gecs concert and saw Alice Gas play a DJ set live. Ever since then I’ve been getting really into producing and DJing, working my own influences into my music and trying to make sounds that comfort me in a confusing, scary world. hardcore kicks and breakbeats are a mainstay in my production and style.

dj style: I play fast and hard, 170+ BPM has been my staple the entire time I’ve been DJing, and I’m a huge fan of all the harder styles - hardcore will never die! I try to tell a story with every set.

other projects/collabs:
I am also a musician under this same name, only have one song released currently, but working on a digital hardcore/hardcore edm concept EP. you can follow me on soundcloud and bandcamp at basspet!

fav smell: rain on asphalt mid summer-autumn
what animal would you be: dog/deer/rabbit
what fruit: mango
what plant or flower: pothos
fav book: Empire of the Vampire is current favorite

current listening:
I've never been here before, 100 Gecs, Technohead, 1 800 PAIN, LustSickPuppy

inspired by:
my ravers and weirdos and loved ones around me and the incessant sound of the 4/4 kick drum
