The old school junglists among you may remember the name from the mid-90’s, where “Radio Massive” became Germany’s first regular FM broadcast featuring the new sounds of the UK. 25 years later, the original jungle sound is still alive and kickin’!★ Bassdee (Radio Massive, Hard:edged // Berlin)

Bassdee’s musical journey dates back to the late 80’s, where he witnessed firsthand the transformation of Berlin’s industrial and techno scene. He was heavily influenced by the then newly-established HardWax store – who were among the first to begin importing the sounds of Detroit, Chicago & New York, thus playing a vital role in establishing the dark, futuristic sound which became notorious in Berlin at the dawn of the 90’s.
As the sound continued to evolve – with the UK jungle mania reaching Germany in the early 90’s – Radio Massive was born! From 1994-1998 the show was broadcast every Monday on kiss.fm, featuring renowned guests from the UK, as well as nurturing and promoting fresh talent from Berlin and around Germany. As a founding member of the Hard:edged nights, Bassdee was constantly at the forefront of the Berliner jungle scene, and can be described as a true veteran!
______________________Our next guest performing on the “Radio Massive” floor on December 7th is another long-time veteran who has continuously been at the forefront of the German Jungle / Drum & Bass scene since it’s emergence 25+ years ago!★ DJ Feed (Radio Massive, Exponence // Berlin)
