dark electronics with an old soul.
The inception of dbas(s)ed (pronounced de.based) begun in the early nineties when Hamlet became involved in the electronic arts medium via the experimental video work he was producing while attending art school. Through his provocative and ground breaking videos he gained a reputation as a very well respected artist who truly understood the sheer power of audio combined with visuals. He realized that the right combination could manifest into something very powerful and mesmerizing; a potent blend that was greater than the sum of the parts. Soon after graduating art school dbas(s)ed was formed by Hamlet. The dbas(s)ed sound drew from an eclectic blend of sounds and influences. The common thread of uniqueness and originality had been carried over beautifully from video to audio. Today Hamlet continues to compose and remix as much as possible under the same dbas(s)ed pseudonym. In 2002 Hypnotic Records released "This Is Rave: Vol IV", a very progressive blend of trance and house produced by dbas(s)ed and Decoding Jesus, including original tracks by both artists. In the same year yet another track was included on the soundtrack to the independent film "Luster". dbas(s)ed has also done remixes for the likes of Missing Persons, Moloko, Santana and Andy, the middle eastern pop sensation.
In 2003 "This Is Trance 3.0" was released once again on Hypnotic Records with a mind bending mix of trance, progressive and beyond specially mixed by dbas(s)ed vs Decoding Jesus including tracks by both artists. The RobotBoy single from the upcoming dbas(s)ed studio album has been picked up by Crosstalk Distributors for a 12" vinyl release around the globe and the single is also available through various online music sites such as BeatsDigital, Snocap, and soon to be on itunes, Napster and many more. Currently dbas(s)ed continues to work on his next studio album due out sometime in 2008.
