With only a couple of years under his belt, who knows what is in store for the futureLD50Bastik LegionFrom the ancient temples of bass, dwelling in the depths of the throbbing catacombs these initiates of sound honed their skills. Inter-dimensionally they wandered, their pilgrimages sweeping them through lightwave caverns where they absorbed the infinite energies that danced like careening tides of neon tsunamis. At the hands of masters they listened and studied until they too became adepts of the shifty heaviness that now spills from sound systems far and wide. Crafting a sound that they hope will awaken the masses, sub phonic frequencies that pulsate with the breath of the eons, they seek to take all who wish to hear on the same journey they themselves are on. They have only just begun. They are the BASTIK LEGION BASTIK LEGION is a dynamic culmination of the mixing and production talents of Chris Kendall (DJ), Chance Strickland (DJ/Producer), and Jared Christianson (Drummer). Hailing from Southern California theyve been on the scene playing shows with acts like Designer Drugs, Steve Aoki, Felix Cartel, Harvard Bass, LaidBack Luke, JOTS, Charles Feelgood, and Audiokillers just to name a few. Their love for all styles of music makes for interesting and energetic sets, switching from breaks to electro to dubstep to drum and bass, all in one glorious experience, leaving sweat soaked bassheads raving for more.Show Starts At09:00PM
