Dr Rhythm & Bass6 are a Beatbox duo based in London UK. Both born on the same day, suffer from chronic hayfever and love Time Crisis 3. The Duet have now gone their seperate ways as the Doctor has returned to OZ with the wonderful MRS(Nurse) Rhythm after an epic adventure in Europe to settle down and break into the OZ music scene. After winning the London finals at the Beatbox Championship (Knocking the Bass6 out for the 2nd time in two years in the semi finals!!!!) he is surely going to be inflicting his british battle culture on the Aussie battle circuit!! To check out more clips check www.braindamageradio.com go to the mixes section and (Click on our Weblink) check the Hip hop/ Beatbox "brain" and click on the Bass6 n Dr Rhythm demo + a very cheeky intro on DJ Shorty mix......... Big shout to DJ Disowned and the Brain Damage massive for representing!
Bass6
Bass6 aka Ru tha Damaja aka DJ Spindle was born n' raised in London and REPS HIS ENDS TO THE FULLEST, he is now the postcode!!
Started beatboxing age 7 inspired by the Thunderbirds theme tune (?)Has since gone on to reach the UK Beatbox Championships
As for the Doc, the two met in a battle, when Dr Rhythm politely 'Served' Bass6 at The Lyric Pad, only to lose to the Lyric Pad Champ!! Bwahaha. But was later to be destroyed by the Doc's medical melodies at the UK champs... two years in a row!!
This meeting fused a friendship that would lead to a beatbox routine that is tearing up the scene!
Bass6 current projects include collaborations with Terrorbyte, in a mad fusion of man vs machine (clips up soon!!!), with Kingpin on the verbals and still a possible guest star to push the complexities of the act!! (Launch imminent!)
As ever representing the raw and live elements, he is currently performing with MC Angel and DJ Shorty in the live turntablistic freestyle show they deliver with style every time.
Also a recent project in the Hard Dance scene with the Nu Energy Collective (Kevin Energy, K-Complex + Bass6) have seen him recognised and they were awarded 2nd place for the "UK Best Live Act" at the Hard Dance Awards 2008.
He is currently hosting various nights across the Uk, whether they be Hip Hop, Breaks, Drum n BAss, Dubstep, Indie....all the way to gabba(!), always delivering enthusiasm and energy and including the crowd, its a guaranteed reaction. Highlighting his hosting are the plain infamous Braindrop nights and Drop Beats Not Bombs and Scratch Club amongst many others he is regularly hosting.
The beginning of the year, Satamile records released a new EP produced by Automaton and featuring Bass6 on a couple of tracks. (Available to purchase soon) As well as that the pair are running Scratch Club Birmingham, keeping the scene consitently positive and energetic.
