Bass Resistance has emerged from the Ukrainian Bass underground scene. Relocated Artists have united in Berlin to catalyse positive change in electronic music on the intersection of music, arts and social activism.
In 2 Years we organized events, fundraising tours and media projects to raise over 20 000 Euros for humanitarian purposes. In 2025 our collective was awarded by the Tag der Clubcultur Award by Berlin Club Commission for design, curation and impact in the electronic music scene.
