Bass Boss

COSMOS
Bass Boss is a new film by REProduce, our Goa, India-based COSMOS Embassy. In this 30 minutes documentary, director Rana Ghose investigates Dek Bass, a sound system style unique to West Bengal, and sets out to meet its elusive leading light, DJ Khobir. Overwhelming, aggressive, and prone to virulent fandom in his region, this form of sonic expression and assertion is of its own genesis. There is no reference to Jamaican sound system culture within. It was rendered pure and unadulterated from the mind of one person: DJ Khobir.Rana Ghose is a curator, economist, writer, and filmmaker. He steers REProduce Artists, a collective of artists, organizers, and content creators that produce interventions in non traditional spaces, engaging with music and video in modular, sequential plays.
