Celebrating 21 Years of Bassism + 50 Years of Tommy Lexxus. Deep dubstep, grime, and futuristic halftime pressure all night long. Including an all-star global lineup, the sub frequencies are going down at Panke Culture, one of Berlin's shining lights for underground bass. Music starts promptly at 23:00.
N-Type is an award winning DJ and founder of the record label Wheel & Deal, with a discography a mile long. He just celebrated 20 years on Rinse FM, as a standout mixologist and one of the best DJs in the genre. Author of Dubstep Allstars Vol.5 on Tempa, and his latest album Typography. Fast Forward to 2026 - and he will undoubtedly bring down the house at Panke. Expect lots of wheelies as this dubplate don takes the reins.
Joining N-Type on stage is the Bristol boy Slowie! With massive releases on Wheel & Deal, sfam, Foundation Audio and Durkle Disco. His latest collab with our mates Truth just hit the shelves on Deep, Dark & Dangerous. His own imprint Dee Oh 7 can be found leading the Grime charge on Bandcamp. Catch his recent performance on Red Bull Mic Flex, where he went toe to toe with our recent headliner Snowy.
Back for the third year in a row, DJ Squarewave is blowing the charts up with his latest gems on New World Audio. Most notably, he won “Best Alternative Act” in the UK Asian Music Awards back in the day. Currently he is the host of "Grime on the Canal," a live-streamed set performed alongside Roll Deep's Roachee directly from a boat deck in East London.
All the way from Grass Valley, California, BOGL is back for another round of Bassism glory. He & Tommy worked together on the very first Dubstep truck at Love Parade San Francisco. They also made the first and only Soundpieces event at IPSE in 2018. Between Los Angeles and the Bay Area, BOGL has kept the West Coast steeped in sub bass for over two decades.
Alyaz, a foundational figure in the Czech underground. He started Sapyen Records and heads up the X-Ray bass nights. This Mode Radio host has become a driving force in this collaboration. On Saturday after Panke, the gang will run it back at Fuchs2 in Prague.
Off the east coast of Africa, Mista Baptiste is globetrotting from Réunion Island to bring the sound of classic dub to Berlin. From his biggest releases on Moonshine with Sekkleman and Radikal Guru, and collabs with Zion Train, Jabbadub and Steel Alive.
Making her debut for Bassism, former curator of Berlin’s Grimelist. Scre_wy, originally from Napoli, will build the cinematic suspense early on. Her latest mix for Hundert Records explores the fringes of 140 bass, where her mix for Sub FM revolves in deep halftime territory.
Tommy handpicked Bassism crew mates VILIFY, Grzly Adams, DJ Quien and MC Do to round out this incredibly dynamic team-up. This is not just an accouterment of random friends on the lineup. These are top-tier musicians on the label making noise on a global scale. Every artist performing is a headliner in their own right.

their own biography
the whole biography
Engulfing himself in the underground music scene since the early 90's, Tommy Lexxus is no slouch when it comes to production and performance. From the heyday of Math Rock, Post Metal and Reggae, to the prologues of Drum & Bass, Dubstep & Grime. Before becoming a Junglist, Tommy played drums and bass guitar in several well known bands. He opened for Green Day when he was only 15, and was a founding member of Math Rock legends Upsilon Acrux. The Sub FM host has always kept his record crates very diverse and full of bass weight. Tommy's mixing skills are innovatively amusing while sophisticatedly cerebral. His sets are consistently entertaining, no matter the style or setting. Tommy Lexxus founded Bassism in 2005 as a warehouse rave in San Francisco. Fast forward to present day, and we find he and the Bassism crew stationed comfortably in Berlin with global distribution on Virgin. 2026 01 Jan • Drums @ Work • Drugstore 07 Jan • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 17 Jan • Critical Sound + Bassism • Gretchen 20 Jan • Bassism 30 • Uglydub 03 Feb • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. I 04 Feb • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 17 Feb • Bassism 31 • Arøund The Way 03 Mar • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. II 04 Mar • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 01 Apr • Bassism Radio on Sub FM 07 Apr • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. III 25 Apr • Recycle + Bassism • Gretchen 29 Apr • Tommy Lexxus on Sub FM 05 May • Bassism 20 Years • Vol. IV 27 May • Bassism Radio on Sub FM 30 May • Playaz Anniversary • Edelfettwerk Hamburg Bassism Crew Berlin: Tommy Lexxus VILIFY DJ Quien Hawt Coco SCHNITT Jimi Handtrix Grzly Adams Migz Uglydub MC Do Arøund The Way Zhi MCTheir RA profile lists SubLife Recordings and Bassism Records.Recently at Gretchen, Bi Nuu, Panke · often with Mc Jamie White, BOX2:BASSISM, N'Dee (Recycle/D), none of them here that night
