About Bassment Beats:
Bassment Beats first aired in the spring of 2003 on WNHU-FM at the University of New Haven. Deejays Shinyo and Geometrik were the original hosts as they sought refuge in the basement of one of the UNH buildings. After Geometrik’s departure in the Summer of 2004, during December of of the same year, DJ LOKASH started doing fill-in slots for the station.

It wasn’t long before before Shinyo approached Lokash about co-hosting Bassment Beats. This partnership lasted until Summer 2006 when Shinyo left the station to pursue a career in the culinary arts. DJ LOKASH continued to do the show by himself until the end of 2007 when the show left the basement of WNHU and took a hiatus.

Almost two years to the day in 2009, Bassment Beats finally began airing new episodes on Allhiphop Radio, the internet radio station powered by Allhiphop.com. However, the short-lived relationship would cease in the Spring of 2010 as result of politics within station.

The start of the Fall semester in 2010 finds Bassment Beats with another new home, this time back on the airwaves of terrestrial Connecticut radio at the Wesleyan University station WESU. Proud to be a part of the more than 70 year legacy of WESU, Bassment Beats can now be heard at 3am every Friday on 88.1FM in Central Connecticut/Southern Massachusetts or worldwide on wesufm.org. You can also subscribe to the podcast via iTunes.
