What brands are you behind and what year did they launch?
We’re not into brands, rather groups of people or collectives that resonate with us and have like-minded intentions. Our focus is and has always been authenticity within ourselves.
How’d you get into it?
It’s been eight years since our inception, at this point it’s really just part of our make up. How we got into it is a question that doesn’t get asked often anymore.
The answer would be common amongst all promoters, we had a mutual love for beats so we started playing them and several years later it has evolved into what we have created, that being the foundations of drum and bass music in Melbourne.
Who are your resident DJs and/or favourite touring talents?
Safire, Finna, Beatksi, Tobias J, and as for touring talents, Goldie, Andy C, Calyx & Teebee, Phace, Icicle, Alix Perez, Kryptic Minds, Spectrasoul, The Upbeats, London Elektricity, Skream – the list goes on.
Who’s your crowd and what makes your parties great?
Real heads and real music with no cheese, people know what they’re in for if it’s a BBA event.
What’s been the most epic party you’ve thrown and why?
Hard question, but Goldie at The Hi-Fi Bar in 2011 was definitely epic, his presence and passion is something you don’t often get at drum and bass events anymore.
Shameless self-promotion opportunity – what, when, where for your next party? Critical Sound vs. Espionage at Roxanne on Friday August 10 with Kasra, Sabre, Jonwayne and Mono/Poly. We venture out of the country to Europe in August to represent Australia and New Zealand at Outlook Festival, Europe’s biggest bass music festival in Fort Punto, Pula, Croatia.
