Harmony Rec. - Panel Discussion (2023)

Recorded set for Foundation FM x Manila Community Radio takeover. 

While creating the set, I had Coltrane’s “Both Directions At Once” philosophy in mind: starting a sentence in the middle and going to its beginning and ending at the same time.

Opened and ended with two songs that aren’t only favorites from such different eras and places, but also share a striking similarity. The first song’s (1961)’s sullen tone has the hopeless vulnerability heard all throughout the last song (2003). A beginning of an end, an end of a beginning; or an “either-or" because of its emotional likeness coming from "the middle." 

In this set: old and new favorites spanning from the 50's to now. Some jazz, OPM samples, soul, alternative, riding a rolling train of breaks, jungle, and liquid.

1. Heavy Soul - Ike Quebec

Through her edits, mixes, and live sets, Ezzrei is slowly re-injecting more experimental genres into the scene, such as breaks and drum and bass without being cut away from her roots.

This penchant of hers led us to having the Manila-based DJ and music journalist for a mix is a 60-min high-octane capsule of her foundations and inspirations, ranging from old-school 90’s-sounding jungle, eastern music, jazz, hip-hop, dub, r&b and soul.

"I wanted to incorporate eastern sounds with jungle break as it’s something that I personally haven’t heard a lot before, so I’m more than happy to have experimented with this mix with an “east-meets-west approach”

Train Wrecks Podcast ft. Dustin Zahn

Train Wrecks #078 - Polygonia

Ezzrei’s sound is a unique blend of bass, jazz, soul, and hip-hop. Her sets and mixes are filled with her signature intricate blends, alluring layers, soulful rhythms, imaginative transitions and head-exploding drops. These, along with a unique selection of tracks,  create her varying sonic offerings that may range from high-energy bass to hypnotic journeys on jazz.

Ezzrei began her music journey on the picturesque island of Siargao, pioneering the music scene that thrives today and putting the island on the musical map –as cited by MixMag Asia to be the first DJ to create music-themed events in the now-famous tourist destination. She is also the founder of CONTINUUM, an underground bass movement producing bass-centric events around the country. She led production for the first all-bass stage at the 2024 Fete de la Musique.

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.

Asia tour highlights 2023, spanning 7 countries: Japan at Zubar Tokyo, Singapore for Kings of Bass, Thailand at Irie Bongkok, Taiwan at 23 Music Room Taipei, Indonesia for shows throughout Bali including Plutonic, Potatohead and 40 Thieves, Hong Kong for the Rolling with the Waves boat party and Dark Metaz club show, and the Philippines for the Ichiban launch party and Ichiban Festival on Siargao Island. 

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. 

Past Australian highlights: Melbourne Festival Artist Party, Rainbow Serpent Festival, The Dot, Outlook Festival Melbourne, Sun & Bass Melbourne, Strawberry Fields, Earth festival, Paradise festival, RBMA Shows (DJ Vadim, Clark, Lone), Judge for The Age Music Victoria Awards (2014/15/16)
