Bass And Bants

The TOFUSHOP boys are back! CJ and YJ answer your questions about DNB, CDJ settings, Hot Cues or Memory Cues and the hot topic of the sync button! Listen as they discuss old school dubstep, deep dark 140 and what they think is the next biggest genre.

The other half of TOFUSHOP, YJ and Jessie (HENRI) sit down with one of The BackBar's big dogs, hardest pest to exterminate and tequila expert Troy de Silva! Get to know him as he shares his experience with bass music and bass culture over his many many years in the game. Listen as they chat about Back Bars bootleg history, wild international artist stories and some "expert" advice on starting out as a new DJ. Might even hear a few inside scoops of whats coming up if you're lucky!

One half of TOFUSHOP, CJ and AVA sit down with the newcomer in The BackBar and former BMX world champion, CALX. Get to know the newest DJ making moves in the scene as they discuss his journey with bass music and CJ trying to expose Calx’s trade secrets. Listen as they fangirl over producers, headphones, their favourite colour to wear and sounds they love. And it wouldn't be a Bass and Bants podcast without terrible jokes and CJ derailing the whole podcast with his ramblings

The TOFUSHOP boys expose their age as they take a trip down memory lane. Where they were front left at festivals for progressive, electro and big room house. Listen to these "old" boys talk about the golden age of EDM main stage music, how it evolved throughout the years and their plans to make a pop song? As per usual packed with CJ's ramblings and abuse of the soundboard.

The Back Bar resident DJ's, YJ (the tofu in TOFUSHOP) and newcomer Jessie (or as you might know her, HENRI) discuss the Dubstep scene in NZ. Listen to their TED Talk about Dubstep, it's History and their plans to bring the genre back to the breathers. Long live dubstep!

CJ, the shop in TOFUSHOP interrogates yet another one of The Back Bars' resident DJ's, Ava. Get to know the local DnB fairy, as she and CJ scratch the surface of Drum & Bass. Listen as they yarn about how they watched DnB rise to its current popularity in New Zealand and the song that built it all. Hint: Da da dadadada da da dadadada da da. Plus, CJ's ramblings might actually teach you a thing or two, but probably not.

Resident DJs Tofushop (CJ and YJ) make their podcast debut, and have a little chat about Trap, ”aggressive” music and a little bit of Tofushop lore.
