From drawing massive crowds at major festival stages and sold-out concerts, to completely redefining bass culture on the West Coast, Bassrush has been at the forefront of bass music in North America since its inception in 2002. In recent years the brand has expanded its reach, grown its portfolio of national shows, launched a dedicated website (www.basssrush.com), and moved into new markets. In their mission to continually break new ground, Team Bassrush launched Bassrush Records, which will feature free releases from both established and up-and- coming talent in the drum n bass, dubstep, glitch, trap, and ever-evolving bass music genres.
