Bas Mooy vs Radial

Bas Mooy & Jeroen Liebregts

During the last decade Rotterdam home-based DJ/producer Bas Mooy (1976) has been active on many fronts in the techno scene. Heavily influenced by a city that breaths industrial strength twenty-four-seven, he gradually found his way into creating an unique dark sound, which lead him to the forefront of the European techno scene.

In 2002 he kickstarted the already legendary Audio Assault record-label with label partner Jeroen Liebregts, which resulted in the birth of sub-label Arms one year later. Since then the Audio Assault family built a strong and constantly growing fan-base worldwide, showcasing an impressive catalogue with a constant output of stand out twelve inches, setting the standard for today’s quality dark techno.

For many years he has been a member of the Rotterdam underground collective ‘Strictly Techno’, creators of over a hundred legendary parties since 1995. Bas has played at many ‘top of the bill’ clubs and festivals around the globe and is a regular guest at the highly respected Awakenings parties in Holland.

Over the years Bas has been a hard working and devoted producer, spending many hours in the studio and putting out music on respected labels such as Planet Rhythm, Roots, Fine Audio Recordings, Naked Lunch, Impact Mechanics, Submissions, Patterns, FK Recordings and of course his own imprints Audio Assault and Arms. His recent releases on Planet Rhythm and Audio Assault got big support from the industry’s main players such as Speedy J, Dave Clarke, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero and Cari Lekebusch. With a new mix cd to be released in 2010, upcoming tracks/remixes on several labels and collaboration projects with Ortin Cam, Radial and Virgil Enzinger he shows no sign of slowing down.
 

Radial is the techno music project of Jeroen Liebregts (1980). Jeroen has been running and producing for his labels Audio Assault and Arms since 2002, and also produced music for several other labels. In 2006 he finished his studies of electronic music at the conservatory of The Hague (www.sonology.org).
The Radial project started out as a cooperation between Jeroen and Laurens van der Starre.. Jeroen: “Laurens had been a long-time acquaintance I met via some mutual friends and I knew of the work he did with Anton Pieëte, when he sent me a demo for my labels i was really impressed so that’s when the idea to collaborate came up.” The first release of the duo, Beton EP was signed by the infamous Slovakian label Numb Records. Since, their music has been appearing regularly on mix compilations, play lists, and charts of many top DJ's like Adam Beyer, Surgeon, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero, Ben Sims, Regis, Rumenige, Loktibrada and many more. Jeroen “We were really happy to receive support from exactly the people we respected very much and were influenced by a lot, the release on Numb was a dream start.” Other full EP's include the Premium EP' on Token records, Hair of the Dog EP on Audio Assault and the Planet Rhythm 2 part series Firm to Farm I and II. The success of the latter even resulted in the release of Radial’s first full album Deleted Scenes on Planet Rhythm records.
Since mid 2009 Jeroen has continued Radial on his own since Laurens took a career opportunity and had to quit the cooperation.
