Additonal Info:
Basswerk is a leading german D&B label and was founded by Heiner Kruse & Laszlo Milasovszky in 1997 based on the Junglegrowers project. So far 38 vinyls and 8 CD‘s have been released. Basswerk Files is a digital sublabel which has more than 60 digital releases. Basswerk & Basswerk Files were voted best german D&B labels @ Future Music Awards several times. 2021 we won a video award for Bw44 (Enea/Fava/TGM - Dust Rmx). 2022 sees our 25 year anniversary and Philo Rbb joining the team.
We started off as an artist collective in 1997. Then we released music from artists all over the world. Now we want to go back to the roots again: We have been working on collaborations with artists all over the world from different genres to try out new musical ways.
The compilation „The Green Man presents: 22 Years of Basswerk - The Collab Sessions“ was released in 2019 - plus additional digital EP‘s and remixes. The Green Man & Kingz worked on contributions as well, but finally instead finished a whole album called „Changes“ that was released alongside the compilation. The concept was sponsored by the cultural department of the City of Cologne as well (Kulturamt Köln). These are the days of single releases, but we still wanted to compile albums that tell a story. We want to continue with this concept and release more new music with this spirit - as well as some very interesting collabs that didn‘t fit on our CD compilation.
Artists participating in the compilation: Aqua Sky, Brian Brainstorm, Chevy, David Boomah, Digital, DJ Freeze, FR33M4N, Gregor Schwellenbach, Gourski, Kölner Männer-Gesang-Verein, Klute, Navigator, Numinos, Thorsten Q (Tangerine Dream), Triou, Ultima C, Seibel, Skarra Mucci, Zera
