The bass movement in Norway just took another leap forward.
NORGBASS SESSIONS is proud to host an exclusive night of world-class Drum & Bass on Oslo’s most unique venue — the floating club MS Bjørvika. This isn’t just another night out; it’s a sonic voyage across the Oslo fjord with legends and local heroes pushing the boundaries of underground sound.
Headlining the event is OPTICAL, the co-founder of VIRUS RECORDINGS and one of the true architects of modern neurofunk. With a career spanning over two decades, Optical’s productions have shaped the darker, technical edge of Drum & Bass, influencing generations of producers and ravers alike.
Joining him on stage, the relentless MC TEMPO - known for his precision lyricism, high-octane freestyles, and ability to ignite any crowd - brings a live energy few can match. Together, they deliver a headline performance that bridges classic Virus energy with today’s cutting-edge underground.
Backing the headliners is a powerhouse support lineup that celebrates both the depth of the local scene and its growing international reach:
MIRA MARK - A veteran DJ with many years behind the decks, Mira Mark has become a cornerstone of Oslo’s underground, known for her deep selections, tight blends, and raw energy that always lifts the room.
PATS NICHOLS - One of Norway’s most respected rappers and MCs, bringing his own lyrical fire and stage presence to connect with both the DnB and hip-hop crowds.
KARYON - Traveling in from Sweden, Karyon represents the new wave of cross-border collaboration. His sets fuse the intensity of Swedish Drum & Bass with a fresh melodic touch - symbolizing Norgbass Sessions mission to open the Norwegian scene to international talent.
All of this unfolds aboard MS Bjørvika, the iconic floating venue moored in central Oslo. With panoramic views of the fjord, a professional sound rig tuned for heavy low-end, and an intimate limited-capacity atmosphere, it’s the perfect environment for deep connection between artist and audience.
This is the next chapter for Norgbass Sessions - uniting Norway’s underground with world-class artists, homegrown energy, and international collaboration.
