As lovers of electronic music, Casa Kayam and the crew of Drum and Bass Medellin had to become friends. This collective is looking to promote and diffuse several types of bass music in the city of Medellin to expend the spectrum of rhythms and music tendencies. They work with locals and internationals artists to gather actors and audience of this new movement. Drum and Bass Medellin helps to develop the underground culture of the city.
When Laurent Pasquier came in Colombia for the first time, he brings in his luggage his new documentary, Bass Extase. It made sense for him to meet people of DnB Medellin. So when Juan Felipe (DnB Medellin) called Casa Kayam to tell us “Laurent would like to visit Guatape,” we jumped at the chance of projecting his amazing documentary in our hostel. Among the spectators, some were already listening to bass music, and other ones had no clue of what was it, but for sure we all learned a lot!

We were lucky to see the projection. For those who do not, lets Laurent talk about his project with his own words :
“Bass Extase, the journey :
This documentary project started 6 years ago explore the Bass music scene in Europe and redraw Bass culture, its roots and the history of the different genres of this movement (Dub, Jungle, Drum&Bass, Uk Garage, Dubstep…) with a transmedia documentary called Bass Extase, which present a 1hour documentary movie, a photography exhibition, an artistic installation and some events which include all of this contents with show-case of Bass music artists.
The movie is on Jungle and Drum&bass history. It explores its origins in the United States with the Breakbeat culture (Swing, Funk, Hip-Hop) and in Jamaica with the Bass culture (Ska, Reggae, Dub) and follows its evolution (Breakbeat, Jungle) until today.
The film shows through interviews, live or studio sequences, and archives, the emerging of the movement and its evolution until today.
The web series will be a focus on Dubstep pioneers, but also on Uk Garage, Dub scene, and will talk to other genres or subjects in connection with Bass music universe”.
