Basstripper drops ‘Time To Go’ on his label Basstripper Music
6 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds
After a massive set at Rampage this summer, Belgian Drum & Bass maestro Basstripper has officially dropped his crowd-favourite banger, ‘Time To Go.’ This track has already been shaking sound systems around the globe all year and is quickly becoming a staple in the scene.
Basstripper, known off-stage as Jeroen Stevens, has been steadily climbing the ranks in the Drum & Bass world. Hailing from Leuven, Belgium, he’s made a name for himself with his relentless energy and cutting-edge productions. Basstripper initially started as a DJ, honing his craft in the underground scenes of Belgium, before stepping into production, where he truly began to shine.
‘Time To Go’ is a prime example of Basstripper’s signature style, blending unique soundscapes with powerful basslines that hit hard. It’s no wonder this track has gained so much support—it follows in the footsteps of his previous hits, like last summer’s viral sensation, ‘In The City’, which solidified him as a key player in the contemporary bass music scene.

Basstripper’s rise hasn’t been by chance. His dedication to the craft is evident in every release, and his relentless work ethic has led him to collaborate with some of the biggest names in the industry. Over the years, he’s shared the stage with heavyweights like Andy C, Wilkinson, and Sub Focus, and his sets are known for their high energy and seamless mixing, often leaving crowds in awe.
Basstripper’s been on a roll, supporting big names like Bou and B-Live during their Australian tour last November. He’s also been flexing his remix skills, reworking Netsky’s ‘Hell in High Heels’ at the end of 2023, and more recently, dropping a remix of Friction’s ‘Supersonic’ this January. His DNB Allstars release, ‘Hazmat / Deserted,’ is still making waves on the DJ circuit, further proving his ability to craft tracks that are in high demand.

Beyond his work behind the decks and in the studio, Basstripper is also deeply connected to the community. He’s been an advocate for the local scene in Belgium, often mentoring up-and-coming producers and DJs, helping to foster the next generation of talent.
‘Time To Go’ perfectly encapsulates Basstripper’s fresh, lively sound, featuring drilling basslines, crisp snares, and tight drum programming. The track’s powerful breaks and twisted synths are engineered for maximum dancefloor impact, while the edgy vocals add just the right amount of attitude.
With this latest release, Basstripper continues to push boundaries, and it’s clear he’s just getting started. Expect more fire from him in the near future—this is only the beginning. Keep an eye out for his upcoming projects, as he’s set to leave an even bigger mark on the global drum and bass landscape.
