His first Beatport #1 went on to be Beatport's highest-selling track so far this year: the Bass Kleph remix of Joan Reyes's Shakedown. His first appearance in the top 10 in the inthemix Australian DJ top 50. A club and radio pop smash with $pend My Money (feat Stellar MC), as well as a top 20 Beatport main-chart hit with his own track, Keyboard Cat. And dates across Spain, the UK, the US and Canada, Russia, China, headline slots at the Good Vibrations Festival in Australia, remixes of huge acts like Green Velvet and Sarah McLeod, and the continued success of his own label and its crew of producers - Vacation Records, and its new sister label Exit Row.In 2007, Bass Kleph founded Vacation Records, followed in 2009 by the more stripped-back sound of Exit Row.
Releasing and collaborating with international talent like Wolfgang Gartner, Micky Slim, Mowgli, and big locals
like Hook n Sling, Stupid Fresh, Twocker, Tommy Trash, fRew, Dopamine, Bass Kleph's labels and his music have
helped popularise a wonderfully Australian view of the world. From the label's lazy-days artwork to track titles
like Keyboard Cat, Bump Uglies, and But Enough About Me, it's irreverent, but it's also humble and
self-depreciating - so today the label's fans stretch from the stadium players like John Aquaviva, Crookers, Rene
Amesz, Mark Knight, and Kissy Sell Out to the brightest lights of the techno underground like Alex Kenji, Popof,
and Fergie.
What else, then, for 2010? In Australia, Bass Kleph has just compiled and toured Ministry of Sound Australia's
Guide to the Underground with Afrojack and played the main stages at the Good Vibrations Festival.
Internationally, alongside earlier gigs in venues from Fabric in the UK to Tunning Hall Moscow and Baby Face
China, this year Bass Kleph is taking on his first US tour (Aug-Sep), two more European tours, and he has a
remarkably prolific release schedule coming of remixes, collaborations and of course his own tracks.
Not bad for a man whose teenage self "just wanted to get on stage and bang some drums". As Bass Kleph says, "I
love it. I love the journey, because there's always something new coming in music, in DJing, with songwriting. If
I won ten millions dollars in the lotto tomorrow, I'd still keep DJing and writing music - what else is this much fun?"
