A 2 and a half hour Live DJ set from General Midi from way back in 2005. Although Mr Midi starts off a bit rusty with the mixes he soon warms to the decks to take you on a journey and a half.

General Midi, or Paul Crossman, who also performed under the name Fluid, came out of the Bristol club scene, making a splash when he became resident DJ at the Shimmy Club in 1994. His mix of breakbeat with nu-skool, electronica, house, and hip-hop made him a popular act.

General Midi’s singles have been released on some of the most respected breaks labels of the time, including TCR (Rennie Pilgrims label) & Kilowatt (Hyper’s label). In 1999 he released his single “The Westerner,” followed two years later by “Daft Funk,” the same year that his first full-length release, Genetically Modified. All of this has led to his debut artist album ‘Midi Style’ which was released on Distinct’ive Records in 2005. In 2009 he released his follow up album ‘Operation Overdrive’.

Paul Crossman also worked with writing partner and audio engineer Al Watson in the duo act called “Starecase”.

Currently Paul Crossman works as as a Teacher of Computing at Lampton School, London UK.

Altern-8 - Minirig Mixtape

EPM Podcast 176 comes from Exzakt. Emerging from the vibrant electronic music scene of South Florida, with roots firmly planted in Miami's bustling club culture of the late 90s. Influenced by the eclectic sounds of 80s Electro and the booming Miami Bass, Exzakt's musical journey began amidst the pulsating beats and neon lights of Miami's iconic clubs. Larry brings together all his musical influences for an expansive ride through Miami Bass, electronica, synthcore and of course electro! His mix for EPM zeroes in on the dancefloor with a full-bodied clash of bass and electro-funk featuring the likes of Josh Wink, Maceo Plex, Pilo, Boyz Noise, Nikki Nair, James Shinra, Mack Loenz, Mary Droppinz, Black Rave Culture & more. 

Immersed in the rhythms of his surroundings, Exzakt quickly became captivated by the futuristic sounds that defined the era. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Electro pioneers and Miami Bass legends, Exzakt honed his craft, crafting a distinctive sound that seamlessly blends elements of both genres.

Renowned for his boundary-pushing sound and dynamic live performances, Exzakt quickly earned the respect of top personalities in electronic music. His label, Monotone, serves as a platform for showcasing his innovative productions alongside releases on esteemed imprints such as Skint, Tresor Records, and Fabric Records.

Exzakt's iconic tracks, including "Subsonic Bass," "Clarity," "Me & My 808," and"Musik Is The Drug," stand as timeless classics within the electro genre, alongside dozens of other cult favorites. Each track showcases Exzakt's mastery of rhythm and melody, captivating audiences worldwide with their infectious grooves and otherworldly vibes.

Exzakt's groundbreaking electro sound not only pays homage to the genre's roots but also pushes boundaries, bridging electro with elements of pop and modern-day freestyle. This innovative approach has the potential to change the landscape of electro music, introducing new dimensions and captivating audiences across genres.

Since the late 90s, Exzakt has been an integral part of Miami's thriving club scene, and his influence extends far beyond the city limits. With international tours and performances at legendary clubs like Tresor in Berlin, Razzmatazz in Barcelona, and FuseClub in Brussels, Exzakt continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, proving that the future of music is bright, bold, and undeniably electrifying. This summer’s ‘LoveHertz’ full-length release will see Larry cement his Exzakt alias as a writer of electro songs, taking his production style to a higher level of music craftsmanship. In the meantime let the BASS hit!

For the 25th edition of the CHP Mix series we have a very special treat for you all. I had the honor and privilege to record a one-for-one b2b set with Legendary bass technician, Scratch-D!

Our goal for the session was to juxtapose old school classics with new school electronics to create a synergistic sound that takes you on an eclectic journey through more than 40 years of legendary music. It was a huge honor to record with such a huge inspiration, mentor, and friend and I am mega hyped about the creative body of sound we made to share with you. 
- Grow 
Scratch D of Dynamix II (Miami) is a bass heavy Dj and producer of the highest order. Unconstrained by trends, his numerous game-changing contributions to the dance music world span over two decades longer than any EDM jock of the moment. This is an artist seasoned with dropping low end 808, and enamored to see it move a crowd either solo as Scratch-D or in his iconic Electro Bass act Dynamix II (Give The Dj A Break). There is a distinctive quality to an electro bass jam from Scratch-D. Catch this legend of true Electro and Bass in a performance and hear his legacy of original works, exclusives,  and remixes that shake down the spot.

There have been some great new tunes since the beginning of the year and we are still finding some that we missed in the recent past. But we've also dug deeper into history, as the legendary Altern 8 will be coming to Prague in March! We grabbed a collection of rare, unreleased and hard-to-find tracks, edits, bootlegs and remixes that Left/Right put up on Bandcamp for a few hours as part of the CONDU||T LA fire relief fundraiser. And! Our favourite broken party Hyper Real will be back at Fuchs 2 this year, so we asked its curator Opium Hum to send us his selection of 5 current favourite tracks. Thanks a lot! At the very end we remembered our no longer active producers and friends who made tunes influenced by Prague. Because we love Prague :)

GOOOO WILD VOYAGER (DUB)

TO MOVE

This relatively hard to find mix was given away for free with the February issue of Mixmag in 2001 and comes directly from my CD collection. Entitled "Mixmag Presents Elastic Breaks - The Sound Of Breakbeat mixed by the Plump Djs" it was one sort after mix at the time and one that was on high rotation in my CD player. This mix pretty much launched the careers of the Plump DJs and gained them more of a following on a global scale.
