Pessimist And That w/ Christoph De Babalon & Holsten - Noods Radio - EPISODE 13

At 1 More Thing, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of bass music, and one artist who is doing that in his sets is Driver. 

Risen out of the Belgian jump-up scene as Danger’s personal driver (can you tell where he got his DJ name?), he loves all subgenres of drum & bass. So, you can expect him to mix dancefloor with jump-up and neuro with some liquid. 

Nowadays, Driver is not only busy preparing allround mixes, but he also throws drum & bass events now and then. Next up on the calendar is his birthday bash in Breda (NL) and a Driver & Friends edition near the seaside.

Today we put the spotlight on Damageman, a dedicated drum & bass artist whose journey spans decades of the scene's evolution.

From his teenage beginnings on belt-drive turntables to running the long-standing Banger After Banger events and establishing his own label Sub Heavy Audio, Damageman embodies the spirit of grassroots D&B culture. His story is one of total dedication, musical growth, and a commitment to nurturing the scene from the ground up.

Whether through his productions, DJ sets, or 13 years of event promotion, Damageman's passion for the craft and his consistent presence in the underground make him an essential voice in today's landscape. Don’t take our word for it. Check his debut album Inside The Solar System or this killer mix he’s made for us especially.

If you’ve been checking for drum & bass jungle since the 2000s then the name Social Security should definitely be familiar with you… 

First emerging around 2000-2001, brothers Moses (Child Support) and Inzajeano (Crisis Loan) Latif made a big noise with a gritty sound that would stir deep deep deeeeeep into the jungle melting pot. 

Named after the old benefits system in the UK (which pretty much anyone who came from working class background would have to rely on at points during the 80s and 90s) the community-minded duo’s sound was powerful, soulful and rolling with serious intent. It was a consistent signature throughout the 2000s and a decent chunk of the 2010s… And is now back for the 2020s. 

A defiant middle finger to the current (and scarily escalating) Cost Of Greed crisis, Social Security returns after taking a break to focus on other aspects of life, including an ongoing acting career. Now with Moses rolling solo at the helm, he continues with the work he and his brother started all those years ago. 

Fresh from dropping the hair-raising sci-fi odyssey Dimension X, last week, Social Security is ready to dish out another round of benefits for the scene at a time when we need them the most. Find out how it’s all going to go down in our interview: https://1-more-thing.co.uk/interviews/the-return-of-social-security/

WHAT A MIX!!!! 

Hot off the back of his Rude Boi EP on Vision Azumai comes in with this fire session that ranges from outright industrial slappage to deep, hypnotic rolls and back again. 

No messing around! This is pure Japanese steel.

We've hit the 140th edition of our mix series!!!! 

Say what?!?!

To mark this significant milestone we've called in some serious kindred spirits - C-Bo & Cuttah AKA Deep Tempo. 

Two music lovers who definitely come from a similar place in terms of how they support, celebrate and document the culture they love, C-Bo and Cuttah's Deep Tempo podcast has been one of the most consistent and solid platforms for dubstep and 140 related music across the board and across the generations. 

From its podcast roots their brand has grown to comprise a label, a zine, merch and a pretty intense DJ schedule. Listen to this mix and you'll hear just why they're booked for respected nights like Heavyweight and Deep Medi! 

As with all these mixes, an interview is essential and usually a Q&A affair on the site, but when we caught up on Zoom the chat was such a vibe and so inspiring that we've kept it in their format. You can check it on our YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7oPxkFB9os

In the meantime, please enjoy this exceptional adventure into dubstep and hear just where the genre is at in 2025.
