BAS is Smaze and Zane3. The BAS duo formed in the summer of 2000, when Smaze
(best known in the underground world of graffiti art and beat-making)
arrived in Jacksonville, FL. There he hooked up with his old pal and
comrade dj-in-arms, Zane3. Smaze's earlier solo recordings/methods (Stereo
Taxi, Midnight Cracker's Foolish One, Renegade Products) were accomplished
via pause button/4-track trickery and the old skool routine of cutting &
pasting tape loops/samples. For the BAS sessions, Zane3 would bring in an
all important tool to help boost their songwriting quality....a pc computer.
For two months straight, the duo would devote nearly all time and effort,
day & night (high on caffeine & herbal speed!), into completing twelve
tracks. Presently, Smaze is preparing material for the forthcoming BAS
full-length album, which should feature collaborations with Zane3 and Scott
Herren (Savath+Savalas, Prefuse 73, Delarosa+Asora). Beat-freaks....stay
tuned!!!
