Kindness
"Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts. Such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their highest potential".
Heart Song
Everyone has a song in their heart. Everyone has a reason for being here and a season for making their highest, greatest most auspicious contribution. No one knows what that is or when it is for anyone else. Only our own heart knows what and when it is for us. Your heart wants to sing.

Designed, Produced and Created by XELATER - Ret Alex (London)
Surrender your consciousness to a twisted mix of Electronica, House, Tech-Funk, Funk, Tech-Electro, Nu-Jazzl, Underground Pop, Alternative, Experimental and Progressive...(I think that is enough eh??) dance music, journeying from jazzy into a tribal realm of mind-altering melodies and insane beats.
Ret (live production, keyboards, flute, effects, backing vocals)
Jules (vocals, samplers, effects) and
Jay (percussion) deliver intense live performance, acoustic vibrations and the fiercest sounds on the planet.
Ret is highly educated in flute, piano and drums and used his roots in jazz to develop his passion for electro sounds. He has played, partied and performed his way around the world, through countless styles of performing, composing and remixing. Ret continues to pour extraordinary talents into his music as Base Mosquito continues to grow…
Jules became recognised as one of the dynamic performers of the nineties dance scene, spending three years with successful techno band, ‘Dance Overdose’. After working with the top DJs and PAs of the time, Jules teamed up with Ret and developed her deep connection with their incredible music…
Jay has been playing percussion on the UK dance scene for almost fifteen years, working with the likes of CJ Macintosh, Joey Negro, Andy Cato (Groove Armada) and The Ratpack. He has performed all over the world for Ministry of Sound with his unique talent for percussion…
Base Mosquito have a monthly residency at Exit Bar on Brick Lane, perform regularly at the Inspiral Café, Camden and play bars, clubs and festivals across the UK. Experience their sound as they join forces with the power of the Kokopelli to bring you an auditory orgasm in cutting edge music.
"HOPE is the ability to hear the music of the future and FAITH is the courage to dance to it in the present"
The symbol in the middle of the Base Mosquito logo is the "KOKOPELLI" which represents the spirit of music and new beginnings in New Mexico and South America. Symbolic with the the changing of Winter to Spring, bringing rain for good harvests. It is said if Kokopelli has lured you with his magical flute, it is time to listen to his song... This song is one of fertility. You are being asked to use your talents to creative fertility in some area of your life.
If things have been slow moving, Kokopelli's song is saying that whatever you intend to plant at this time will be very productive for you. "The time is now and the power is you".
"Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself today – patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer? So be creative – what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to …wait? Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life." -(Inner Space - thought for everyday)
