Bass Cultures: How Low Can You Go!

• Through the making of sound systems, bass cultures have been important in the development of underground musical genres from Reggae, Dub and Ska to Hip-Hop, Techno, Jungle and many more. For this two day sonic festival we were supported by musicians, DJs, and makers that in their own way have contributed and played an important role in the development of bass culture, through the making of sound systems, the organising of underground music and club culture in Sweden and beyond. Over two days the event hosted film screenings, workshops, talks, commissioned essays and DJ sets to showcase bass and sound system cultures, their creativity, history, and relevance today. The festival was organised by Right to design which is a practice-based platform run by Onkar Kular and Henric Benesch and through their artist-in-residency with Art Inside Out, Halland, Sweden.
