Selfsimilar hails from rainy Seattle WA and spends a lot of time pushing buttons at late hours. Currently living in Southern California getting red from all the sun. He has had a steady stream of releases over the last couple of years with 2 - 12"s on shift recordings, and half a dozen digital releases on Excisions Rottun Recordings. Selfsimilars tune "Godspeed" is a very unique peice of dubstep that smashes any dancefloor to absolute fuckin smitherines. (Look out for an optimus gryme remix of this one)

I’ve been busy busy boy the last couple of years I launched Bassweight Recordings in 2006, because of the amazing music that was being made in the New Zealand Dubstep realm that I thought needed to be heard on the international and local stages. So for the last couple of years I’ve been touring my arse off around New Zealand as well as running regular local and international events in Wellington NZ, and keeping the Bassweight label running smooth and quality packed. I’ve been learning/writing music for about 9 years now. I originally got into production via hip hop, then moved onto Drum & Bass and Dubstep. 2009 is set to be a big year for me with my first 12" vinyl pressing coming out on stupid fly records hailing out of Jacksonville florida. Digital releases lined up on Bassweight Recordings (NZ) and Betamorph Recordings (USA) as well as my first CD album 'The Psychopathology of Evil' due out on Bassweight Recordings end of 2009
'Oneness' is a dark earie minimal wobbler, with extremly deep sub pressure, best served to a midnight dancefloor

Organikismness Organik _ism_ness aka Ali Harley and Harry Bretherton are one of NewZealands most versatile Drum and bass outfits having been based in Nelson, Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch throughout the last 5 years, producing many forms of drum and bass and dub their sound is distinct but ever changing. Ali_ growing up in nelson, being involved with The Gathering, The Artery, PHAT and other legendary outdoor party’s, mixing psi-trance and techno. Harry_ growing up in The Peak District(England) then onto Auckland, playing random warehouse and outdoor party’s, scratching and juggling hip-hop, both hailing from complete opposite ends of the world both physically and musically. Being brought together by drum and bass (Klute:) in 2003, Nelson quickly became home to Organikismness and the PHAT club became their stomping ground, and what was 2 djs back2back (playing records etc) soon became NewZealands first drum and bass dj act to play only their own material. Having now played along side: Klute, Black Sun Empire, Goldie, D bridge, Micky Finn and Aphrodite, Digital, Amit, Outrage, Raiden and Robyn Chaos, Andy C, Noisia and toured with Pendulum(live), Spor, Teebee, Future Prophecies, Roni size and mc Dynamite to name a few, their performances and thus their production have stood next to some of the worlds best. 2008 has already been a massive year with consistent touring, their first mix cd featuring 28 of their own tunes being released on their own label Evasive maneuvers, their first digital release on Bassweight recordings, and with their debut album “touché” due for release any day now its not looking like slowing down, what has been one of drum and bass’s best kept secrets is about to be told far and wide.
