We’ve got your lo-fi awesomeness.

Let the big-budget studios look and sound all shiny and fake.

You like your media gritty and real.

If you’re ready for a break from the steady diet of cultural monotony that you can’t seem to escape from, every channel everywhere, then get ready to dig into something new.

Basementia produces and distributes creative media: including musical recordings, book publications, and now apparently comic film as well.

Basementia is your source for envelope-pushing work that is low-budget and edgy, self-produced and unique, and often either totally hilarious or deeply heartfelt, or sometimes both at the same time.

Most of Basementia’s work is produced or edited by creative eccentric and multimedia humorist Jesse S. Smith, sometimes in collaboration with friends and colleagues.

From the basement to Basement Productions, Inc.

Back in 1996, a college kid thought to himself, “It would be cool to run a record label from my basement.”  In 2003, the company came to life, now named Basement Productions, Inc.  Of course, the obvious website domain name was already taken; and this is why, shortly after it was founded, the company began doing business as Basementia. We pride ourselves on our “basement productions.”  When you are in the mood for some Basementia, you know where to go.

Most of our books and music are available for sale (or download, or streaming, or whatever) on other platforms; and for the time being that’s the best place to get them.  Maybe someday we might finally get around to setting up this site as an online store but don’t hold your breath, lol.

Were you looking for business services?

No.  You weren’t.  But for reasons of nostalgia we like to remember where we’ve been.

For several years, Basementia tried to be all things to all people. Yes, in addition to producing and publishing music and books, we also tried to be a commercial print broker, a web host, and a design company.  All at the same time. It got confusing. We had an identity crisis.  Maybe a couple of times.  Now Basementia has regained its path.  (We really have this time, we swear!)  We told the business services to take a hike, and we took our rockin’ name back.

And now it’s 2026 and we’re back with attitude and sticking our tongue out at the world.

So if you are seeking to browse the dark secrets and deep thoughts and satirical humor of basement dwellers and their musician friends, look no further.
