Blacksoul aka Badass
(Blacksoul Music, Purple Music / Zagreb)
Tom Pasanec aka Blacksoul started behind the decks at a very early stage in his life, only 10 years old actually! In 1994 when he was only 14, Blacksoul started working at radio RKM 101.4FM. His show "SupremeFunk FM" later „Blacksoul Music FM“ became the link between Kutina's «normal» music scene and electronic music, later this show continued in Zagreb, Croatias capital. The response and feedback that his show and great mixing skills created brought him to the SSRadio UK and Pressure Radio UK where he is currently hosting his „Smoke It Deep“ radio show once a week.
The Badass of music has played in a wide range of clubs & at many events all over Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia,Hungary, Austria, Germany, Netherland, Slovakia, Latvia, Greece, UK, USA and has shared the decks with a wide range of top international djs. Since his first international production debut in 2001 which was blessed by Laurent Garnier he has released more than 40 singles and remixes on different house record labels all around the world which gave him a # 1 position as Croatia's biggest house export. So far Blacksoul has done a wide range of production work, including remixes for Funkagenda, Trophy Twins, Baggi Begovic, Alfred Azzetto, Robin S, Todd Terry, Montanas, Hanna Hais, Christian Hornbostel, Mateo & Matos, Onionz, Tyree Cooper, Terry Farely just to name a few.
Besides his production work Blacksoul is also successfully running his record label Blacksoul Music which just had its 17th release. The whole idea behind the labels is to connect all his friend producers around the globe. It`s working really good as his first release on that label was sold in 54000 units so far. His style and sound is a mixture of soulful, vocal, funky house with deep, tech and electro elements, all thrown into the mix creating his own very unique sound of electronic dance music. It will make you dance and dance and dance till you drop!
“Blacksoul is really blowing my mind right now. He has been pumping out a variety of beats that all sound really great, he's one of the most solid production machines around right now.”
