BASS EXTASE

Bass Extase Transmedia Documentary

For 7 years, director Laurent Pasquier traveled across Europe, immersing himself in the culture of bass music and meeting the main players and pioneers of this flourishing culture.

The result of a meeting between Afro-American and Afro-Jamaican cultures, the fusion took place in England in the early 90s and gave rise to numerous genres and sub-genres of electronic music.

The director has produced a 52-minute film on the history of Drum&Bass, the first genre of bass music, short episodes on Dubstep and UK garage, as well as a photo exhibition and numerous events dedicated to bass music.

The documentary has been screened at Le Grand Rex cinema in Paris, in independent cinemas and SMACs in France, and in Colombia with Red Bull Colombia and the Alliance Française de Bogotá. The film is still running and is available on VOD at vimeo.com/ondemand.
