Side-Line introduces Basszilla – listen now to ‘Growl of the Owl’ (Face The Beat profile series)
The 7th track on our free download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 4” (featuring 92 tracks) is by the Heidelberg (Germany) based nu rave act Basszilla. Be ready to discover a bunch of different influences all gathered in one track.
Started in 2014, the project brings a rather unique mixture of EDM, acid, nu-rave and death-electro. Basszilla released his first EP in May 2014 which was released and distributed digitally by the label darkTunes Music Group. The project, actually based around a French born producer, also released several “Beastmix” 1 hour live DJ set recordings which are available as free downloads on iTunes and soundcloud. The most recent release is – and you read it really well – the “Fury lesbian freak attack” 5-track single released earlier this year.
You can listen/download the track “Growl of the Owl” below.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
