BASSMENT - SAB, 18 ABR - Era Uma Vez no Porto
José Miguel Silva, born in Porto, Portugal, is the DJ and producer Bassment. In 2009 he started to buy his first
vinyls, months before having turntables. Short after, he makes his debut with local promoters and in 2010 is
referenced as an upcoming DJ talent by 105 Agency. Bassment played supporting act for Amoss, Was A Be,
dBridge, Dub Phizix, QZB, Bredren , Makoto, Blu Mar Ten, Etherwood, Dave Owen and Nu:Tone. Experience
behind the decks led to a natural transition and the start of his own productions, progressively transforming his
basement into a true production studio.
In 2013 he started to promote his first projects and wins the first ever Sample Genie (Bristol) competition.
Since then, he has collaborated with Bluejay The MC, Humanature, Psychic Pressure, Dub Signalz and
Zezalien. In 2013, Bassment co-founded Counterpoint Recordings and started releasing music with worldwide
record labels, signing music on Audio Theory, Beat Spectrum, Citrus, Counterpoint, Delta9, Fokuz, I.D.
Bogotá, Kulture Klash, Peer Pressure, Promo Audio and True Box.
His music was supported on radio and studio mixes by Noisia (Radio), Philth (fabric:live x Dispatch), Xtrah
(Funk Cast), BassBrothers (fabric:live x Playaz) and DJ support from Bredren, Document One, DBR UK,
Mauoq, Sweetpea, and DJ Rusty. Among national support, his music has been played on Radio Oxigenio
(Lisbon), by producer Jabaru (Dispatch Label Mix) and award winning DJs like Pix.L and Nuno Forte.
Bassment has played in clubs in such cities as Madrid, Oakland, Los Angeles and Berlin. Thanks to his work,
he has also traveled throughout Portugal, from North to South. In 2019, he celebrated 10 years of DJing with
new releases and very special mixes. Around the pandemic, the basement goes under a serious acoustic
makeover. Sketches for the first tracks for his album start to take shape. Jose presents his master thesis at the
Faculty of Architecture in 2020. In 2022 he starts his architectural practice. In 2025, his first LP (long play)
album is released.
