I posted about this before, but they wanted me to make a shorter version, so I did. It’s a lot better I think. Have a look and get to see a more vivid version of me (compared to the ‘writer’).
Do you live in Istanbul and are you interested in getting into music shows for free, in exchange for making similar 2-4 minute videos? Email me at and I’ll get you in touch with the right people.
BasBasBas.com is about my life abroad. I regularly write about my adventures in Istanbul, Bulgaria and travels in the region, but like to ponder about the future also. If you’d like to stay up to date, you can subscribe to my RSS feed or get email updates in your inbox. You can also follow me on Twitter.
A while ago I attended a concert by Fukkk Offf to do some video journalism for SPIN Magazine’s new online video platform, SPIN Earth (beta). The video I made was a bit too long for them to use, but haven’t had time to cut it down since. I figured it might be appreciated by some of the blog’s audience, especially since you can meet the real me.
I present to you the most recent mix I produced, called NoComment. It was commissioned by Andy Bailey, creator of the famous CommentLuv weblog plugin and concept. Via Twitter he gave me some feedback on previous mixes and based on his desires and the feedback I created a customized mix, adjusted to his wishes. He told me it’s fine to share this, so there you go! Enjoy this experimental DJ set! If you’re interested in a similar deal, email me at . I can do many styles and you can set the price yourself.
This mix is a blend of speeches set to eclectic electronic music. Go on a 80 minute trip through history and let the music and speeches play with your moods, thoughts and ponderings. Great for passive as well as active listening. Get ready to get your mind blown right open!

As I’ve stated before, in my free time I love mixing music and DJ’ing, especially if I can get a little creative and experimental with it. I made a mix the other day in the dormitory I blogged about and I’m very happy about the result.
Eclecticism at its best in this set containing dub, minimal, breakcore, dubstep, grime, world fusion, breakbeat and psychedelic. Not much to add. Just exploring the waves of electronica. Enjoy!
