The Bass Junkie sound spans the old school beats and vibes of the Electro genre’s origins, to the borderline industrial. Phil is a battle hardened Bass Bot from the future armed with his trusty MPC.

The obsession with all things sci-fi continues with this 'Cruising The Bass Nebula' EP. Out this February on my Asking for Trouble label, this is testament to his non-stop love of the genre and keeps on evolving with this funky 10".

Phil Klein aka Bass Junkie has been part of the Bass furniture for decades. I first came across him at my local roller disco somewhere in the 80s where he would flex his early DJ skills. Phil was cutting and scratching on the decks way before anyone I knew.

His history is quite something. In the early 90s he contacted Dave Noller from Dynamix II in Florida and after sending demos (pre-Internet of course). He ended up going there to make some tunes under the name of Cybernet Systems.

Phil has had many monikers and worked with lots of people over the years. Model Citizens with Matt Whitehead, IBM, Gods of Technology and Kronos Device with Si Brown (Dexorcist) and myself both as The Brink and part of The Resonance Committee to name a few. 2021 saw the release of the album Sub Sonic Survivor on Bass Agenda. He's had releases on lots of labels over the years including Control Tower, Firewire, SMB, Ed DMX's Breakin records, Andrea Parker's Touchin Bass label, Billy Nasty's Electrix and his own Battle Trax label.

10" Translucent Pink Vinyl / Full Sleeve!

My Idea with these series of 10” records was to do 5 in around a year to 18 months. This got scuppered by the situation at world pressing plants with the extreme wait for records.

The tracks are all taken from my live set which I’ve been doing over the last few years which has taken in some huge gigs and festivals including Houghton, Dimensions, Ion and extensive club gigs too.

All of them have the dance floor funk and the artwork is from long term design partner Lung.

The vibe on these is rolled plasticine using a different coloured vinyl each time. So making the series quite collectable too.

Lord of Dem Tings is a tribute to the late great Lee Scratch Perry and theres a nod to him on the sticker for this one.

Rubber Dub is a nod to my most excellent distributor and friends at the Glasgow record and music gear shop Rubadub!!! :) More

Radioactive Man reveals his new10” series Sonicus Croniclus on Asking For Trouble, with the incredible first release - Sonicus Croniclus Vol 1 set for release on 14th April. This new project sees Radioactive Man launch a series of 10" records taking mostly live set jams and turning them into full tracks. The artwork as ever comes from long-time design partner Lung. Using plasticine to make the art for the covers, with matching coloured vinyl this will be a collectors series.

Side A ‘Unsaid’ sees Radioactive Man launching into a bass heavy stepper, peppered with broken-beats and spurts of Amen. The track has a stripped-back, slowed down junglist vibe. Side B ‘Born in the USB’ is a more moody affair. A low-slung, dubby, driving jam, bubbling up with acid lines and just enough machine funk.


Asking For Trouble est. 2017

Mastered / Cut by Keith Tenniswood at Curve Pusher More

...it must affect the brain in some way, unless it’s just the music that does it? All them lights flashing don’t do you any good either...
Recorded in Curve Pusher’s former Hackney premises over a series of sessions during 2016-2017, L-R is the name for the sounds that have emerged from the collaboration of friends Simon Lynch (London Modular Alliance), Monoak (Freerotation) and Radioactive Man. Oscillating modular sequences from the units Simon brought to sessions, multi-MPC powered beat programming, and TB 303 patterns being fed to a MiniMoog is the backbone of this record, some of the last sessions at Curvepusher studio, London, before its move to Hastings. Where we get the best out of these three singular producers.
Asking for Trouble is Keith Tenniswood (Radioactive Man’s) record label - established in 2017 to home his solo and collaborative studio work.
