Hallucinogen / Time Is Running Out

D.R.O.P.S - Hallucinogen - AM8E026 - Out 7/6/22

I am DJ/MC Vada (vader), a shortened version of spaceinvada, which was my original alias and spelt the way it is as a lean to graffiti culture similar to that of ‘I woz ere’ 
Influenced by all types of music from a young age, mainly 50/60/70s classics and the ever growing range of new music coming through in the 80s and 90s with hip hop and house/dance/rave, music has always been a big part of my life. 
Having bought some belt drive vinyl decks around the year 2000 I proceeded to teach myself how to mix, over the years I raved out at some great nights, spent loads of downtime mixing and also dabbling in writing lyrics, to the point where I recorded about 5 tracks, my main pride being ‘the movie track, have you seen have you heard?’ 
Wanting to write a rap pretty much completely made from movie titles, after 6-8 months of writing and reciting I was ready to record and what you can find on here is the recording, I’ve always had a sequel planned but so far this has not happened, maybe this year it will! 
Having had 2 kids my music lifestyle did go on the back burner for some years but more recently I’ve felt the urge to want to start building new mixes and working on new stuff so here we go! 
Enough for now 
Peace out 
Vada

1 man, 2 legs and 2 arms. DJ, Producer, Promoter, MC and all in between. Multi genre producer but house is where I am settling down. Follow if you dig my music, if not, thank you for listening.

emplate first heard the sounds of Jungle/Drum & Bass in the summer of '96 and was instantly enchanted. A drummer, and heavily influenced by hip hop, metal, industrial, classical and jazz; emplate believes drum and bass embodies everything he had been listening to and loved before it.

In '99 he knew that listening was not enough. He needed more than mixtapes and parties to get his fix. Inspired by the DJs around him and his love for DnB, he dedicated himself to seeking knowledge, selection and skill. emplate soon became respected both technically and for his sets that interweave neurofunk and darker, minimal DNB tunes that are often peppered with liquid dancefloor tracks if the mood is right.

In 2006, emplate became a resident DJ at the former weekly and nationally recognized DnB event "in:verse". Always interested in moving the scene forward, emplate helped develop The Cleveland Drum n Bass Coalition and (216)BASS, both local platforms that Northeast Ohio DnB heads used as a vehicle to further their careers. In August of 2014, emplate joined up with Rockers Music. Excited about having a DnB label out of Cleveland, emplate spearheaded the local launch of the Rockers 175 label with the “Step Inside” & "Kismet" monthly events held at the Beachland Ballroom, bringing in names such as: Lenzman, Doc Scott, Total Science, Zero T, The Prototypes, Crissy Criss, DJ SS, Aphrodite, Dara, AK1200, Dieselboy & more. After stepping away from the label & the turbulent life of event promotions, he focused on being the best DJ he could be...taking his mixing to new levels & determined to prove that he's underrated, not only in his hometown & state, but the U.S. as a whole.

For two decades, emplate has been known for his diverse selection of up to date releases, promos & unreleased tracks & plays accordingly to timeslot, crowd & vibe.

I grew up around Southampton/Portsmouth on a diet of Madness, hip-hop, metal and dnb. I've been DJing since 2002 and producing since 2010. I've lived in London since 2005. I've played various venues round London, Bristol, Southampton & Portsmouth including Hidden, Rhythm Factory, Basement 45, Timbuk2, Blue Mountain and The Registry and I've held down radio shows on Rude FM, Flex FM, Origin FM and Intense Radio. I love producing music and I value all feedback, good or bad as long as it's constructive. I also collaborate with Esion under the name http://soundcloud.com/dxmachina

I co-run the http://soundcloud.com/AutomAte-DnB family of digital labels, including AutomAte, AutomAte Deep and AutomAte Tech. AutomAte aims to bring you the best in edgy drum & bass, aimed square at the dancefloor, from rising stars to established artists, from chunky steppers to dark rollers and all manner of other fancy-ticklers. The parent label has already chalked up Radio 1 airplay from Friction, support from Drum & Bass Arena and has caught the attention of more DJs than you could shake a stick-insect at.  If it deserves a place in the my record bag, it lives here.

The Deep label aims to put the warmth back into drum & bass with a range of deep, eclectic, inspirational music, influenced by anything from the Far East to South America and everything in between. AutomAte Deep will be launched in early 2013 and has already picked up Radio 1 airplay from Nihal plus support from Raiden, EBK, Morphy, The Untouchables, Mental Forces, J Robinson, Ortokore, Philth, Stunna, Marukomu, Dexta & Mauoq (Diffrent Music).

The Tech label showcases a variety of gritty drum & bass music, from amen tracks and heavy-steppers to neuro and hardcore styles. We like it grimy with a slight attitude problem and an infectious groove. Supporters include DJ Hype, Bailey, Kenny Ken, Dose, Raiden, Nu:Tone, EBK, June Miller, Inside Info, Gremlinz, Stranjah, Chris Su, Zero-T, Nyx, Amoss, NC-17, Fade, The Risky (Drum & Bass Arena), Billion (Fathom Audio), Arclight, John Rolodex, Phil Hustle, Hyroglifics, Neve, Concrete, Bad Education, Cursa, AbleDanger and more.
