The name says it all. Choose bass, and reap the kudos of your fellow man.
Rico Tubs & Terry Hooligan have always known this deep down, but have now decided to share this heart felt ethic with you…. the Public.
In just three easy steps, you too can be an Adonis-like figure of excellence, comparable to these worthy patrons.

Step 1. Forget what you have been taught
Step 2. Choose Bass
Step 3. Win

The Bass = Win high commissions in London (UK) & Tampere (Finland) will now exclusively house the works of Atomic Hooligan & Rico Tubbs. Many exciting new examples of their work following the way of the 3 steps will be released to the public in the coming months.
Recent converts to the Bass way of life include such luminaries as mash up masters Tomb Crew, Italian electro heirs to the throne Reset, London Bassline bad men Fools Tools  & Finish beat manipulators Bounce Camp.

This is an exciting time in Man’s evolution, and the 3 steps of the Bass = Win philosophy will ensure you are mentally equipped for the forthcoming age
