He's toured the UK, Europe and around the US, playing with Kode 9, Hank ShockLee, Chicks on Speed, Datach'i and many more. In the last few years, the sounds of bassline, dubstep, 2step and garage house have taken over the Secret Agent Gel studio.

KASIO (Bassdrive)
http://www.myspace.com/djkasio
KASIO, started life as a calculator watch. During the early 00's he discovered DnB and instead, became a selector - delivering a more soulful, funkier, moon-walking style of drum & bass to the dancefloor.
Migrating to the gritty New York DnB Scene from Down Under. Kasio can be found regularly spinning in the clubs of Brooklyn & Manhattan and Streaming weekly on Bassdrive with his popular G-Shock Radio Show.
Starting out fresh in the early Breaks movement, shuffling to the Freestylers, Plump Djs & the Staton Warriors, it was when Kasio heard the liquid sounds of Defunked, Hospital & Renegade Recordings that he switched religions to the 175bpm tempos.
For production inspiration Kasio draws on the Broken Beat & Deep House genres, spending endless hours listening to rare grooves and old skool funk, auditioning & slicing up sample gold into his unique style of Drum & Bass.
