Where it all began
James Lock aka Bassphaze
Every label has a beginning, and ours has James Lock's name on it. As Bassphaze, James gave Twisted Recordz its first ever release, and we couldn't be prouder that it was a track as big as Echoes.
He also managed the label for over a year and did it brilliantly. A great producer and an even better man. Big love and respect, James.
The story so far
The rave years
James came up through the rave scene, going to parties around the country and MCing whenever he could. When Freeform hardcore arrived, led by artists including Kevin Energy, Sharkey, K-Complex, AMS and Rikki Arkitech, he wanted to make tunes of his own, so he bought hardware and shared his first tracks on demo tapes and online.
June 2001
In June 2001, Sharkey got in touch about working with him and K-Complex. Three releases followed over the next four years, including Chemical Warfare, which featured on Bonkers 8.
2023
After a break he returned to production with a dark, full-on Drum & Bass sound that runs from Neuro to Dancefloor. With around 25 years of producing on and off behind him, he also DJs and MCs at events across the UK. Then came Echoes in 2023, the first ever release on Twisted Recordz.
Charity releases / DJ Tech
Two big tunes
Exodus is iconic in the underground rave scene, and DJ Tech has two BIG tunes that carry its name.
DJ Tech was one of the founding members of Exodus, the Luton community collective and sound system formed in 1992 in the Marsh Farm area of the town and named after the Bob Marley track. Its first free party was held near Dunstable on 5 June 1992, and by that New Year's Eve a party drew an estimated 10,000 people.
Exodus was about far more than the parties. The collective turned the disused Long Meadow Farm into a community free farm, and a former hospice into HAZ Manor, a housing co-op and community centre.
It also faced years of police action. In January 1993, 120 riot police raided the farm and 36 members were arrested, and on May Day 1999 police used a helicopter and 140 officers to stop a rave. Those 1999 actions were later ruled unlawful and the sound system was returned.
All the money from the sale of these two tunes goes directly to Marsh Farm Outreach to support the community.
