INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.

Antifa is my cousin.  I heard some people were looking for her.  Since I like to be helpful when I can, she was in Alexandria last time I talked to her, three weeks ago.  I think she mentioned going to Zurich in the near future.

As I understand it a conspiracy is supposed to be secret so please don't tell anyone.

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Echo 1 started his drum and bass journey in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. At a young age, after an introduction to late eighties hip hop by his older brother, in the early nineties hardcore arrived and Echo 1 found his sound.

Tracks like 'Music' by LTJ Bukem and 'Darkage' by Solo were unlike anything that he heard before and sparked a lifelong passion for music. Eager to hear more, he tuned in to London-based pirate radio stations such as Rush, Pulse, Eruption and Dream FM. During the mid-nineties, Kiss FM started Wednesday night jungle shows. What was underground music was now being recognised mainstream, highlighting the full range of sounds developing in the drum and bass scene. Randall, LTJ Bukem and DJ Hype were amongst the DJ's on rotation and these shows were definitely influential in defining Echo 1's journey.

Forward to 1996 and a 16 year old Echo 1 went to his first drum and bass night. Logical Progression was playing at the Ministry of Sound and it was the first time he heard his idols play live. Soon after, he got his first set of turntables and the record collecting began.

The London rave scene took him to nights like Movement, Swerve, Fabric, Metalheadz and the legendary venue, 'The End'. Here he saw pioneering drum and bass, played by the most influential DJs and producers. The End hosted Renegade Hardware, Ram, Promised Land and other label-focused nights. Truly unforgettable moments.

 His love of bedroom DJing led to a stint on LifeFm, a radio station run by the jungle/drum and bass promotor - Paul Roast.

Echo 1's influences come from wide spectrum of genres. From deep Detroit-style house, old school hardcore, early hip hop, jazz to orchestral music and film soundtracks and he is very open-minded musically.

His drum and bass influences stem from labels such as Creative Source, Good Looking, Metalheadz, Reinforced, Virus, Timeless, Moving Shadow, Renegade and artists including Total Science, LTJ Bukem, Peshay, Intense, Digital, Spirit, Marcus Intalex, A Sides, DJ Lee, Source Direct, Polar, Optical, Fierce and Trace.

2019 saw Echo 1 set up a small studio in his Hammersmith flat and inevitably start producing music. His intention - to explore all his years of influences and start creating the music he has always loved. 

2021 sees his first release on FX909 MUSIC and later in the year, releases on Omni Music, Liquid Flavours Records and Silent Force Recordings. 

Hope you enjoy listening...
