Newy Bass Crew

Newy Bass Crew was established in late 2021 to foster a community built on love, inclusivity, equality, diversity, authenticity and the unrestrained freedom of self-expression throughout the Hunter Region and beyond. We champion regional talent while celebrating the connection between bass music, nature and underground culture.

Since launching, the collective has presented club events, fundraisers, showcases and secret parties, hosted jungle and drum & bass legend Dillinja in Eora in 2023, and delivered stage takeovers at Subsonic Festival (2023), the KOAN Sound boat party (2024), and Antigravity Festival (2025 & 2026). In 2025, we also collaborated with Subjective Eora and Wonky Nomad Productions on the Open Air City Doof featuring Hypho and PAV4N.

Locally, we continue to grow Newcastle's underground scene through our ongoing SUBSURGE and Big Thumping Bass Cannon event series, alongside our long-running weekly SoundCloud guest mix series, which has featured more than 100 artists from Australia and around the world.

Our DJs span drum & bass, jungle, dubstep, UKG, footwork, bass house, psybass and more. With a strong focus on safe spaces and community, our members have performed at Basscamp, Zenith Gathering, Dragon Dreaming, Rain Dance, Origins of Entropy, SubTerra, Esoteric, RootBound, Initiation, Art Valley and many more.
