THE BIG, BAD & HEAVY MANIFESTO
BIG, BAD & HEAVY
was built for the Bass Heads.
Born in Nairobi.
Seasoned in Bristol.
Forged in the guttural rumble of scrumptious bass.
Rooted in sonic storytelling.
Driven by Bass Bin Culture.
We exist for Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Bassline, UK Funky, Tech House, Afro Tech
and the delightfully wobbly spaces in between where lemon faces reside.
BBH is both the foreground and background. It’s the rattle in the rivets, the bass growling through your bones.
It’s a shared bass gospel.
A communal crescendo of people who move and skank to the bass reverberating through their cranium and their soul.
We believe in:
Curation over chaos
Energy over ego
Culture over clout
Collaboration over standalone
Our sound is 254, and reaches the global ends.
Our identity is definitely and stoically African.
Our aesthetic is Afro-Brutalism! Raw, intentional, unapologetic.
Our future is upright, experimental, and unafraid.
BBH is underground, but elevated.
Community-led, but uncompromising.
Built slow!
Built right!
Built heavy!
