- North East England DJ and producer Gaskin has signed with Amsterdam-based Meanwhile for worldwide live music and touring representation, excluding the Americas.
- Agent Nick Silva at Meanwhile will oversee global bookings; Gaskin retains UTA for North and South America and Bass Jamz for management.
- Gaskin founded Bass Jamz in 2021 as both a brand and record label, growing it into a globally recognised platform with multiple number-one releases to his name.
- Meanwhile has been building aggressively in 2026, having recently signed Jhobei and Ellia Jaya to its underground electronic roster.
Gaskin, the North East England DJ and producer known for reviving the raw, groove-led sounds of the 90s with a modern underground edge, has signed with Amsterdam-based Meanwhile for worldwide live music and touring representation, excluding North and South America. Agent Nick Silva will handle his global bookings out of the agency.
Gaskin has built his name steadily over the past several years, dropping records on respected imprints including Up The Stuss, You&Me, and Locus, while establishing himself as a credible force in underground house and electronic music.
In 2021, he launched Bass Jamz as both a label and events brand, a platform that has since grown a dedicated global following and produced multiple chart-topping releases.
His upcoming festival appearances include Forbidden Forest at Belvoir Castle, ABODE Malta, and Hideout Croatia, with Loosefest Brighton already locked in for May 2026.
This deal sits alongside his existing relationships: UTA continues to handle representation across North and South America, while Bass Jamz stays in place for management.
Meanwhile has been one of the most targeted agencies in the underground electronic space in 2026. The agency signed Jhobei in April and Ellia Jaya just weeks earlier in May, both moves that reflect a deliberate effort to build a roster rooted in credibility and craft. Gaskin fits squarely within that vision.
Takeaways
This signing makes a lot of sense at this point in Gaskin’s career. He has done the foundational work: labels, releases, a globally recognized brand in Bass Jamz, and a live presence that’s been growing internationally.
What Meanwhile brings now is structured, dedicated global booking infrastructure outside the Americas, the missing piece to match the momentum he has clearly built.
The smart split with UTA staying in place for the Americas also signals that Gaskin’s team is thinking strategically, not just making a wholesale switch. Both agencies operate on different strengths, and having both working simultaneously could accelerate his presence in key markets simultaneously.
For Meanwhile, Gaskin is another piece of a roster that is starting to look like the most focused underground electronic lineup in Europe right now.
With Meanwhile now locked in globally and UTA holding the Americas, could Gaskin be positioned for a crossover push into major US and South American festival markets in the near future? Could Gaskin’s growing festival schedule, from Hideout Croatia to ABODE Malta, translate into headline bookings at ADE or Sonar in the not-too-distant future?
