STM 079 - Presha (Samurai Music)

Phonica Mix Series 130 welcomes an artist who has defined and defied the rules of drum & bass like no other. dBridge, real name Darren White has been in the game for well over 30 years. Growing up listening to artists like DJ Randall & Grooverider on Rush FM when he was starting out shaped his ear for the sound that he would learn to grow with, love and mutate. With over 100 records released on labels like R&S, Convex, Metalheadz, Nonplus and more that span well into the 90's dBridge has become a pioneer well in his own right. Not only that but his label Exit Records which not too long ago celebrated its 100th release has been a output determined to push the boundaries of experimental bass, D&B and more. 
Having usually referred to himself as being producer first, it is not to be mistaken that White is a seasoned pro behind the decks. Having stepped into Worlds of his own playing with some of Drum & Bass' biggest names like Doc Scott & Goldie, the artist has also stepped into lengthy b2b's with Bass artist Youngsta and Techno legend Donato Dozzy (which he will do once more this Summer at Dekmantel). 
For this mix dBridge has dedicated it to people around him, a friends and family mix of sorts. With heavy bassy tones from the get go and experimental techno and electro flowing throughout - it showcases the sure diversity of one of the best to do it! We had a brief chat with dBridge about the mix and what he has coming up.

Radio program, The Blend, 21 years on PBS 106.7FM! Hosted by @emelyne-khor & Bevin Campbell (+ monthly resident @beatski), see www.pbsfm.org.au/theblend. Club nights - More Styles.

<<<< CAMPBELL BIO >>>>
Melbourne/Naarm based DJ and radio host Campbell has long been honing his craft, calling on his UK roots, to entrench himself as a staple of the local bass music scene. As host of PBS 106.7FM program The Blend, which recently celebrated 21 years of broadcasting, the weekly program has become an integral part of the city's rich musical fabric. Inside Campbell showcases a diverse mix of electronic music across the heavier end of the spectrum. 

His love for music and future direction was cemented as a key member of the crew behind the Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA) in Melbourne '06. Soon after he established the Blend Corp. label to distribute the material of renowned artist Wax Tailor (FR), among others. Campbell's connection and contribution to the greater music community saw him join the CDR team, which ran Melbourne producer meetups, and continues through mentoring announcers and DJs at PBS. The Blend has a strong emphasis on supporting new talent, along with the more established, featuring weekly guest mixes and interviews from both local and international artists. 

Promoter endeavours with his More Styles events, mixed bass music nights at Section 8, have seen him host shows for UK luminaries such as Digital, Djinn, LMajor and Stretch. Known for his eclectic taste, sets vary depending on the night in question and he is not one to be put into any box or category, comfortably slotting into diverse lineups covering drum’n’bass, jungle, footwork, dubstep, grime, halftime, UK garage and beyond. Residencies past and present include Section 8, Howler, Workshop, Lucky Coq and Black Cat, along with regular spots at clubs such as Revolver Upstairs, Miscellania and Sub Club. A selection of other highlights include; The Blend’s 20 year anniversary show headlined by Special Request (UK), performances at Melbourne Music Week, Red Bull 1800 Doof, plus Mani Festo, LMajor, Swamp81 (Loefah, Chinese Daughter, ), Kloke, Digital, Pangaea, and Djrum support shows. Having completed several tours across North America and Europe, his latest took him to headline shows in Asia, plus a return to Europe. 

20 Years of The Blend tour across Philippines and Europe 2024 highlights; Manila at Boogie for Under Pressure on Red I Sound, Siargao island at Manu, Barbosa and Harana for Sabado Nights. Europe for Alternation at OT301 Amsterdam, London for Planet Wax on-air and Aaja Radio, Brighton Loves Jungle x Over/Shadow at The Volks, Prague for Mode Radio (UK) and finishing in Leipzig for Bass Maessage at Zoro on Pamb Sound.

USA and Canada tour highlights, across 8 cities: Los Angles, Detroit, Portland, San Francisco, Montreal, New York, Chicago and Denver. Shows covered iconic venues and club nights such as The Black Box (Denver), Stamina (San Francisco), Proper (Chicago) and Motor City Wine (Detroit), where he was greatly humbled to have Underground Resistance legend John Collins come down to meet and scope the show. Radio appearances during the period featured broadcasts on dublab (LA), XRAY fm (Portland) and Music is my Sanctuary (Montreal). 

European tour highlights 2015, covering 10 countries: Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Brussels, United Kingdom, Hungary, Finland, Latvia and Germany, with shows including the Outlook, L'Estrany and Soundwave Festivals. The first of which he played several slots culminating in the epic Converge Boat Party with Youngsta, Jack Sparrow and Kaiju. Other shows included playing alongside such luminaries as Om Unit in Prague to the Levelz crew (Chimpo, Skittles et al) in Berlin, as well as an NTS radio visit and mix for the CDR Audio show.
