Bassvictim is an electronic music duo formed in London in 2022 by Polish-English singer songwriter Maria Manow and American-English producer Ike Clateman.
Maria Manow was born in Bydgoszcz, Poland. [1] Manow and Ike Clateman first met on a trip to Berlin as two Goldsmiths, University of London students in the summer of 2022. [1] The pair would form Bassvictim later that year after meeting again a few months after outside the south London club Peckham Audio. [1] This setting served as the origin for the name Bassvictim, as Clateman had stepped out to take a break from the sound inside. [1]
On October 10, 2025, Bassvictim released their debut album Forever. [2] Pitchfork published a review on the album rating it a 7.5, stating, "Layered with clanging percussion, gnarled harp sounds, and howling synths, their production is thickset yet deceptively simple—equally rewarding in your headphones and on a massive speaker. It sounds like the past without ever feeling derivative: a memory crystallized in bass, cracked phone screens, and dingy little London flats." Pitchfork ranked the album number 49 on their list of "The 50 Best Albums of 2025". [3] [2] On October 20, 2025, they selected Bassvictim's "Mr. President" for their weekly playlist. [4]
In December 2025, NME stated "the London-based duo have ushered in a glorious electroclash renaissance alongside Snow Strippers and The Hellp". [5]
In an article titled "How to Dig for Music Without Spotify," writing for Pitchfork, music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds stated " Watch enough 2hollis Chobani clips and TikTok will whoosh you down the Abercrombie & Twitch rabid hole—start with Snow Strippers and nate sib, dip down to Bassvictim".
