Skee Mask - Essential Mix 2021-05-15

Felix Manuel, also known as Djrum, crafts a profoundly innovative genre of electronic music. His unique sound draws inspiration from various club styles like techno, breaks, garage, and jungle, as well as his roots in jazz and classical music. His creations frequently take the form of extensive, multi-faceted compositions that resemble miniature soundtracks more than the conventional club tracks.

I aimed to curate a collection of his pieces, weaving them together to craft a continuous odyssey through his sonic landscapes.

Massive respect to Felix and the labels: 2nd Drop, R&S, Illian Tape and Houndstooth.

Kepler @ The Lot Radio 07-12-2025

The arena-conquering duo glide from gritty rave to skyscraping arpeggios on RA.1000, a mix many years in the making.

A new name undeniably entered the pantheon of major electronic live acts over the past decade: next to Faithless, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, now sit @feelmybicep.

The Belfast duo's music doesn't half reach for the stars: a melodic blend of ambient, breakbeat, trance and tech house, able to turn the biggest arenas into intimate affairs.

If anything, mainstream success, BRIT Award nominations and mammoth dance crossovers like "Glue" have only hardened Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar's resolve to keep innovating.

Their prized blog, running for nearly as long as the RA Podcast, regularly platforms upcoming artists. And you won't find many festival headliners releasing climate change-themed records with Indigenous artists, as they did recently on Takkuuk.

RA.1000 exists in that spirit. After many polite declines, and before a year off to usher in the next era, Bicep come through at the last: from dub techno and screwface breaks to São Paulo garage, before a tide of signature synths floods the zone. Stadium-sized intimacy at its finest.

RA.1000 Bicep

Distinctions journey runs parallel with the rise of the UK’s underground music culture. Emerging in the early 2000s, he became part of the movement that helped define Dubstep’s formative years, performing at iconic nights such as FWD at Plastic People and DMZ at 3rd Base and having released music on Caspa’s Dub Police label. These were bonafide spaces & imprints that gave birth to the sounds that would carry Dubstep from the UK to global recognition.

With over two decades of music knowledge under his belt, Distinction has earned a reputation as a true custodian of the sound. His vinyl collection, which began in the late 1990s, now serves as the foundation for his role as an archivist, sharing rare tracks and forgotten classics through Social Media. Showcasing the formative years of Dubstep, Grime, and UK Garage he honours a history that continues to inspire a new generation, while reigniting memories for those who lived it the first time around.

This mix is a journey through the spectrum of Dubstep and its influencing sounds, intertwining together the old and the new, the released and the unreleased as well as the familiar and the unheard. It’s a showcase of roots and progression that represents where the sound has been and where it continues to go.
