aas der basis
mc, producer, wack dj

aas der basis (a.k.a. Mario Dirlinger a.k.a. schwäm) bombs the audience with his perverted and abstract form of hip hop. His german lyrics treat his and other people´s neurosis, mushroom picking and very special homeless personalities. He creates pastiches on his everyday life, his sub culture and of course himself. Staccato-raps are getting paired with melancholic singings.

The instrumental substructures, produced in his spartanic bed room studio, reflect his hip hop socialisation of the mid 90ies as well as the influences of the moldy Jazzkeller Krems. As a resident MC and supporter of this club he faced permanent inputs of all kind of genres and art forms. This environment coins his attitude and explains the different sounds and styles, which can be found in his productions. Subtle bits and peaces meat drums, coming out of his MPC and of course some harsh tones, destroyed by various sound-degenerators.

The live transfer is executed with his long-time homie Hans Boskoop, who carries his favourite heavy-weight synthies on stage and drops some additional vocals.
