FCKYES.com EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH 51BASS!

Coming up August 25th is the 51BassCamp Festival put on by 51BASS.  The two putting on 51BassCamp are busier than sin, but they were kind enough to answer a few questions about why it is they do what they do.  Check the interview below then check out 51BASS.

FCK YES! -  Why did you form 51Bass?  What got it started?

51BASS - I (Nicole) had a production company for many years myself, called Dreamy Productions. I threw smaller events in the capital region, Poughkeepsie and NYC. Don had been an acquaintance for about 10 years and an amazing DJ who held many residencies and also has a record company (SinsationSound) in upstate NY for years. We got together and decided with his musical talent and my contacts and experience we could make a bigger/better production company and plan better events for the people.

FY! -  How long have you two been throwing/promoting parties?

51BASS - I ran Dreamy Productions from 2005-2010, 51BASS took over in 2010. Don has been Dj'ing since the late 1990's.

FY! -  Where do you see your crew in 5 years?

51BASS - Continuing with 51BASSCAMP, hopefully we grow bigger and better every year and make it a household name.

FY! -  Why do you do what you do?  What is your greatest reward?

51BASS - We love doing what we do. Its definately not about money for us, if it was we would have quit years ago. When young partygoers say they had a blast at your event, or an old schooler says thanks for bringing me back, its a great feeling. The planning of these events comes 2nd nature to us, our reward is everyone having a good night at one of our events.

FY! -  What is one thing you'd like to see change in ''the scene''?

51BASS - That's not a question we can really answer. We have been around the "scene" for quite some time and have seen many changes. Some good, some bad. Big changes happen every few years its just different generations coming in and evolving it. If I had to mention anything, I wish EDM didnt get so mainstream, however, when we were underground, all we wanted was to be more public. So be careful what you wish for.

Thanks so much you two!  We can't wait until 51BassCamp!
