Please introduce yourself real quick…
Hey, Bass fam!
Bass Stud is a bass influenced blog with content, especially for bass music lovers! It all started with an urge to discover the upcoming flow of this growing genre. Bass Stud which started as a personal blog of Saurav Kumar later started to be seen as a passion project for many bass music lovers from India. The team which now consists many people from the world is still growing.
There was a time when listening to and interacting with big and underground music artists was just a dream in India, Bass Stud's work has contributed to making this look possible.
We have our own series of 'Exclusive Interviews', 'Bass Talks' and an upcoming guestmix series called 'Bass Relief' with talent from all the corners of the industry.
We have worked with artists like TroyBoi, Kayzo, Slushii, Spag Heddy, REZZ, Party Thieves to name few and agencies like Run The Trap, OWSLA and many more.

What kind of stuff do you cover mostly? And how do you typically discover and decide WHAT to cover?
Bass Stud emerged with an idea of providing the bass-loving audience a complete platform to explore the latest happenings in this genre. Be it trap, dubstep, bass house or future; the genre is equal in the eyes of Bass Stud.
Having our proper base in India, it is quite difficult to interact and make artist and agency relationships with such a flooded market.
The scene here is very tight in terms of having artists in India and generating content with them. From the last year, I can see that India is coming as a great attraction to big trap & bass artists and they've started touring much often. This has acted as a boon to Bass Stud and we are liking this a lot!
The process of discovery is quite big. We have to check the latest trends and insights of the potential artists. We do have agencies and managers contacting us to cover their artist and respective music, but it has and will be always dependent on our calculations and gut-feeling obviously.
For this big issue of getting discovered, we started our 2018 with a particular section named "Bass Stud Artist Spotlight" where we keep our eyes on artists from the world who have the potential to bite off some piece of cake from India's huge market.
Can you give our audience some tips on how to get on your radar ?
Getting on our radar? That's pretty easy. If you're bass-sick (as we call it at Bass Stud), you would definitely make it to us. Best way to go through it is via social media. Use your social media wisely enough that our team notices you. Our whole team is a social media addict, do not miss to drop a message to anyone of us.
We always drop a mail to artists or agencies with whom we think we can have some potential work in future and even give suggestions if required for a possible union.
