Basement Media Since 2003.

Here it is, just the way you like it: scraped off the floor of our basement and delivered straight to your brain. This is the authentic basement media, or as we like to call it, Basementia.

Alternative

We are the alternative.  Turn to Basementia for unrivaled uniqueness you can’t find anywhere else.

Music.  Electronica, alternative rock, and sheer awesomeness collide in our Music publishing and distribution department.  We have some truly incredible music available for streaming and digital download on all the major platforms.  New, now you can also talk to Jesse about licensing original music by Flumergex for use in your movie, television show, or advertisement.

Publishing.  Basementia is the kind of publishing company you would expect to be founded by the kind of guy who was probably involved in publishing an underground newspaper when he was in high school way back in the 1990s; the kind of guy who might have gotten officially reprimanded by his college administration one time for climbing up a school building to watch the sunrise at the end of a particularly long night; the kind of guy who traveled extensively in his youth, then got married, got serious, and wrote a manifesto rant book of political philosophy based on his experiences; the kind of guy who even into adulthood still always felt like a misfit outsider no matter where he went or what he did, and who channeled that lifetime’s worth of angst and rebellion into his books about people who on their good days turn to spirituality for salvation (Rise of the Pagans) or who alternatively decide to start robbing banks because there’s nothing worth believing in (The Battle of Hillsboro).  That’s how this started.  And now we’ve begun releasing a series of satirical horror mysteries (link coming soon) that are like comic books without any pictures: and we believe that this new product line is going to take the world by storm, for sure this time.  You are here because you crave content like this.  Basementia can offer you books that would never make it past the gatekeepers at the major publishing houses.  That’s our strength.

And more.  Video production?  Yeah, we got that.  Basementia is the creator of the underground comic short film Curb Try Vanity, a Shakespearean short film inspired by King Henry IV. Our comic short was just finished late last year, so it can’t possibly have been the reason Oregon Shakespeare Festival decided to perform King Henry IV this year.  Can it?  Nah, couldn’t be.  Anyway, between our various platforms we have more than a hundred videos out there, mostly on Jesse’s YouTube channel (mostly self-help & business stuff, a little bit of nature scenery and some guitar instruction) and now we’re starting to post some Flumergex music videos and production tips as well.

What else?  Somebody said we’re looking into getting started with some kind of screen-printed merchandise, like mouse pads and stuffed reptiles, or something?  Well, maybe.  Stay tuned and see what happens!

The Basement… and Beyond

It goes beyond the basement.  Over the years, original media by Basementia has been produced in a number of basements, garages, dorm rooms and apartments, kitchen tables, attics, abandoned buildings, pubs, bars, theaters, and house parties, including a particularly memorable evening with Operation J on the wooden porch of an empty farmhouse, overlooking a verdant valley in the summertime…

You’ve found us.  At last.

At last, after a lifetime of feeling like an outsider, you’re finally in the right place.

You have attained a state of Basementia.
