BassLayerz are a Nottingham, United Kingdom–based drum and bass trio. The group comprises DJ Slipz (DJ/producer) and vocalists MC Spyda and MC Blu Bomma. Within the drum and bass/jungle sphere their work sits firmly in high-energy, dancefloor-focused DnB and jungle while also drawing on adjacent UK bass styles listed in their profile.

Background: public biographical detail beyond their lineup and base in the Midlands is limited. What is on record is that BassLayerz work as a DJ-led outfit with live MC vocals. DJ Slipz handles the DJing and production side; MC Spyda and MC Blu Bomma supply live vocal performance and MC duties in sets and recordings. They release studio productions and remixes and collaborate with other producers and labels.

Musical style: BassLayerz’ live format — a DJ-led set bolstered by two live MCs — shapes their sound around immediate dancefloor impact. Their shows and releases emphasize strong low-end focus and vocal hooks from Spyda and Blu Bomma layered over DJ Slipz’s mixes. That combination produces rapid transitions between jungle-style break edits and straight-ahead drum and bass rollers, with MC call-and-response and shouted hooks used to lock in crowds. Their output also navigates heavier bass textures associated with dubstep/riddim and bassline variants when the set or remix calls for them, so tracks move between tight break-driven DnB and broader bass-heavy moments suited to big-room sound systems.

Production and mixing approach (as documented by their public activity) centers on DJ-led sequencing plus studio productions and remixes intended for club play. Onstage, DJ Slipz runs the decks while MC Spyda and MC Blu Bomma deliver live vocals — a setup that requires arrangement choices tailored for seamless DJ transitions and vocal drops. Where their releases and credited collaborations appear, they work in the remix/producer role as well as performing live.

Career and contributions: BassLayerz regularly perform live, and they are booked for high-energy shows and festival appearances on the contemporary drum and bass circuit. They have released studio productions and remixes and worked with other artists and labels. A documented example of cross-artist collaboration is their credited feature on the single “Click Click Click” with Tiësto and Hedex, which places them on a release alongside internationally known electronic producers. Beyond that credited collaboration, their public footprint is focused on DJ sets with live MC vocals and on releasing club-ready material and remixes.

Specific influences and connections: public statements of personal influences are not widely documented. A concrete connection in their catalogue is the collaboration with Tiësto and Hedex on “Click Click Click.” Their working relationships with other producers and labels are referenced in their profile, though specific label names beyond that credited single are not broadly listed in public sources.

Public information on BassLayerz is concise: they are a Nottingham-based trio — DJ Slipz (DJ/producer), MC Spyda and MC Blu Bomma — who perform DJ-led sets with live MC vocals, release studio productions and remixes, collaborate with other producers (including a credited role on “Click Click Click” with Tiësto and Hedex), and play high-energy shows and festivals across the contemporary drum and bass scene.
