was messing around and wanted to make a completely different tune from anything I ever made. wanted to pay homage to people like Todd Terry and Frankie Bones who balanced the line between house and techno so well. it's just a tune be gentle lol, don't need any jungle headz getting confused thinking I am jumping ship hahaha.

AK1200 Live at Whiskey Bar July 18th 2014

This was a tune I was working on with Rob Playford when I was living in Cape Canaveral. We never finished it, and likely never will. I posted this a couple years ago, but this is a better mix down and has just been re-mastered. It still isn't release worthy in terms of completion or quality, but it's free, so enjoy :)

AK1200 & Timecode - Canaveral (new remaster)

here is a clip of "Understand", my most recent collaboration with NC-17, available now on Beatport. get it here http://bit.ly/MFR020BP

AK1200 - Deja Nu - MATH3MATICS RMX

This is a live set recorded October 1st 2016 in Denver for Language.  Massive thanks to Lee, Beau, and the Language crew for having me.  Extra special thanks to all the people who come support me every time I come out that way! 

I could take the time to forewarn you of some sloppy mixes, but it is what it is. I was clearly more focused on trying to fit as many tunes as I could into the time I had available. 

Please be sure to check out Language Denver at any of the links below. They have a really good thing they have built up, and can't wait until I get to come back.

Melting Point

I had the great pleasure of working with the legendary Phife Dawg back in 2002. He came to Orlando for a few days and although we spent more time at my crib playing NBA2K than we did in the studio, he still managed to quickly grasp the bond between Hip Hop and Drum and Bass music in a way only he could. 

I wrote a groove for him that I wanted to have a little “Billie Jean” feel to it and gave him a list of key words to use. Because I would ultimately be going to England to rewrite the music with Danny Breaks, I included his name and his 2 labels (Droppin’ Science & Alphabet Zoo), along with my name and my crew (Planet Of The Drums), and he sat down for an hour or so with my groove running on a loop. 

He emerged with 4 pages of hand written lyrics (which I still have to this day) and let me know he was ready to go. We were at the old Trans-Continental studios where N’Sync, Backstreet Boys, and Brittany Spears had recorded, but I guarantee you that room had never held a vibe that thick prior to that day. 

Phife got in the booth, we took it from the top, and we did 4 consecutive takes which ultimately became the main verses and the layers of ad libs he meticulously sculpted with not even a single word of unusable material. The man was a pro, way beyond his time, and when he passed in 2016, the world lost one of the greatest icons in not just Hip Hop but all of Music History. 

I had my man Rick Simons from The Lab work a little magic on this very basic session mix and am leaving it here for the world to see how incredibly timeless Phife’s style and delivery were, and although my LP version hardly bares any resemblance of this original version, you see how dynamic Phife Dawg was with a pencil, some paper, and a microphone. 

Lastly, just in case anyone from ATCQ reads this, I know at that specific time this went down, you guys were beefing a bit and he was staying away from a lot of y’alls crew. BUT as you’ll hear in his lyrics, he still had mad love for all of you and never eluded to anything but love and respect.

RIP Phife Diggety and Thank You for blessing me with such an unforgettable time in my professional and personal life. 

Big Up! Dave AK.

Take You There

AK1200 Feat. Phife Dawg - Take You There (ak's Pre - LP Version)

Here is a recording of a recent show I played with a wicked sound system. It may get a little sloppy towards the end, but I was drinking and feeling the vibe. anyway, there's a lot of great drum and bass tunes in there, and I hope some of the EDM fans out there who have yet to embrace DnB, will give this mix a listen, and put themselves on the floor that night, and let the vibe guide you over to our side. please share this with everyone you possibly can, and help us bring this shit back proper.

thanks, dave ak :)

AK1200 Memorial Day 2013 Bassdrive live set

The longest running D&B DJ in the USA and founder of Big Riddim Recordings, Dave AK1200, has been a driving force within Drum and Bass culture in America since its inception. From his legendary mix CD's to his extensive list of high profile remixes and original tunes, he has maintained a presence within the industry for more than 20 years. For lack of a better term, AK is a "classically" trained DJ. He is known for his abrupt style of live mixing and spontaneously programming groups of tunes into unforgettably raw sets. 

AK’s dedication and devotion to drum and bass culture in and for the USA are unparalleled. He is a constant voice for the scene, and has spent the majority of his career helping to develop and establish new or unsigned DnB artists, particularly American. In 2000, he united with his long time friends and biggest competition, Dieselboy and DJ Dara to create Planet of the Drums with the collective goal of bringing drum and bass music to the main stage in America. Alongside Messinian on the microphone, the Planet of the Drums crew has become the most recognizable brand in the history of American drum and bass music.

AK has also closely worked with American DnB’s most decorated and prolific producer, Gridlok. In 2008, they released the highly acclaimed Autopsy double album. Immediately following that, they came with “Dub 4 Dub”, a tune described by Goldie as one that “should have come out on Metalheadz”. Most recently, they have created the DNBSTRONG tour campaign. Originally a phrase coined by AK to describe the growing enthusiasm amongst like-minded artists and fans of homegrown DnB and the culture itself, DNBSTRONG became a statement for all to once again rise up collectively and bring attention to the music and scene they proudly represent. 

As we enter the post-EDM era, and newer music forms begin to take root and grow steadily into their own legacy, DnB culture continues to lead the way as a benchmark of true underground music with great confidence. With continuously standard setting tunes to the die-hard fans, this music is quickly becoming the next target for the masses that seek the one true sound they can commit to. AK1200, with his explosive sets and constant cheerleading for the DnB community, continues to encourage and inspire new and old fans, DJ’s, and artists alike. His ability to bring momentum to every market he performs, and relentless promotion of the scene itself and by delivering the message that no one person is bigger than the scene united, AK1200 truly is leading by example.
