FRANKFURT, Germany (www.luscious-sounds.com) - The name Azzido Da Bass may sound vaguely familiar for good reason. For a couple clubbing seasons his single "Dooms Night" ruled the dancefloor, from the record boxes of Digweed to
Timo Maas to
Danny Tenaglia. Azzido Da Bass is back with his own record label Lucious Sounds. The first shot is the long awaited follow up single "Strobelightz" featuring Digitalism.
Supported by the frontman voice of the hyped Electroclash Band Digitalism, Azzido Da Bass shows his comprehension of today's clubsound somewhere between Breaks, Electro and House. Delivered in 4 mixes his 3rd single Strobelightz is giving once more evidence of the proverbial diversity of Azzido Da Bass's production talent in creating massive tunes.
Influenced by industrial, ebm, electro and hip hop, Azzido Da Bass began his DJ career in the year 1996 spinning acid, techno and breakbeat at private unofficial jams and various clubs in the north of Germany where he began to embrace the sound and flavor of this rough and individual music.
"Dooms Night" his first single production in 1999 has gained tremendously huge success and has become a club classic already. The track jumped from 0 to 8 in the official UK charts and secured a solid top 50 entry in the German single sales charts. It was the main title of the MTV music awards 2000 and Wycleaf Jean - singer of the Fugees - has rapped on top of the instrumental track during his part of the MTV music awards presentation.
The track was also featured in the German movie "Angeled" and has been picked up for the american tv advertising campaign of the wheels brand "Michelin" and the 2003 Siemens "Xelibri' mobile campaign. The tech-break phenomena "Dooms Night" secured many accolades like "best dance single 2000' with magazines like DJ, Muzik, Mixmag, Raveline, Groove, The Face, ID and various others plus the "German Dance Award 2001' accolade in the category "Discomaniac' for more than 20.000 sold vinyl units.
Shortly after this phenomenal result Azzido Da Bass delivered another club slammer with the follow up single "Speed' which continued the techbreak style of "Dooms Night' in a futuristically way with strong preacher man vocals by Atlanta based male singer Roland Clark who has already sung for various major artists like Todd Terry, Fatboy Slim and Armand Van Helden.
The single 'Speed' secured the 'German Dance Award' accolade in the category 'Discomaniac' for more than 7500 sold vinyl units.
After concentrating on his DeeJay career Azzido Da Bass focussed lately more and more on his solo productions and teamed up with Andre Winter as his new producer-partner.
He recently remixed e.g. the German clubhit "Young Love (Topless)' by Kid Alex on Milk/N/Sugar / Polydor Island as well as the title 'A Contre Courant' by french/s superstar Alizee and worked hard on the blueprints for his first Azzido Da Bass album which will be released in autumn/winter 2005 and featuring singers of the UK band Zoot Woman (Wall Of Sound), Klonhertz (Southern Fried), Slarta John (XL), Roland Clark (Skint, King Street, Defected etc.) and various others.
