BSS

BSS, formerly Beesmunt Soundsystem, is the Amsterdam-born artist, DJ and producer Luigi Vittorio Jansen. Over more than a decade, first as a duo and now as a solo concern, BSS has built a sound through residencies at key Amsterdam clubs and radio stations and releases on labels like Hivern Discs and Honey Soundsystem. The music is always about adventure, spanning a wide remit from lush downtempo weirdness to tropical electronics via proto-house grooves. Warmth and sensuality run through his sets, which build slowly through expansive synths and long-legged drums and stay deep and hypnotic, with sinewy pads, frazzled synths and soft acid motifs bleeding in and out of the mix.
