Basic Rhythm is the solo moniker of London-based producer Anthoney J. Hart, a shapeshifting figure in the UK's electronic underground since the 2010s. Known for blending grime’s raw energy with dubstep’s weighty basslines and jungle’s breakbeat chaos, his music feels like a moody love letter to the city’s after-hours pulse. Under aliases like East Man, he’s also explored vocal-driven grime, but Basic Rhythm leans into instrumental grit—think foggy soundscapes, skittering rhythms, and basslines that rattle your chest. Releases like *After London* and *The Gorgon / The End* showcase his knack for turning dystopian textures into oddly hypnotic grooves, often landing on labels like Planet Mu and his own AP Life. Whether channeling pirate radio static or post-club tension, Hart’s work remains rooted in the UK’s bass-rich soil while pushing its boundaries into shadowy new corners.
