We invited Mentha and Matt from Subaltern Records to chat about the label and their music, which is in some parts completely non-electronic. The guestmix was mixed and selected by Mentha and features a lot of unreleased and forthcoming tracks that are exclusive tracks to the label, and even a very exclusive guest appearance by the singer Zia-Flow. In Mentha`s guestmix you will also listen to hot and exclusive tunes by D-Operation Drop, Ziplokk, Shu, Causa, Ago, Clearlight, Otz and many more.

Have a listen to Tiggitty and I guarantee your trip through the echo of spiraling sonic bass waves melding vinyl  and since the Valley Fire in  Cobb,Mt. digital formats, will only enhance your musical appreciation for the mystic mannerisms in mastering old school records never blended in such a seemingly Tiggtastic synergy, One forgets these records range in date to early mid 70's with Jean Michele Jarrer creating these sounds with beat machines and computers he created, synths soundng like visable lasers of the mind crashing with waves to make {Oxygen}.....Greeting fellow travellers of your set resting, drinking, and Chuffin' Tuff having a good Middle Earth party for thier Mighty Little Hobbit Bilbo Baggins...Get dark in the subway tunnels of carnival New York, home of the Spriited Realm Seeker DJ Spooky....Jarring out on some Smokey Dubbed out Plates you must fulfill an urge....ok by me..enjoy, because you have alphabetting genius Blackalicous to draw the curtain into a tube owning his prose through fantastic tales of heroism,  shaded in beautiful tones of spacial realism. Nobbing on the foward motion of breakbeats you begin to understand Tiggnacious beginnings of future records many of which were born of San Francisco and surrounding cities...Hardkiss Bros..Wicked Crew....Hawke...then deeper yet to enjoy Rabbit in the Moon....Bringing Drum and Bass into the fold, my favorite, we revert into oblivion minding the the sacred past with respect to old school cats of Rap funky legends Eric B. and Rakim{Paid in Full} and other suprises to encounter....Keep the BASS UP....And get Tiggitty in your Brain......Sorry for the breaks in the mix I need to polish those out and will someday.....all mixes recorded live, no practice of set, just a lot of collecting listening, and recently in the last 9 months understanding a bit about the Denon DJ Prime 4....Having fun...Dreaming in Sounds.... Wishing Out Sonic Waves Blended in a Surreal Imagination..... Tiggination Salute!

ALLABOUTGRAPHY:

English:
I played underground Hiphop and Rap music from 1996 till 2005 at countless parties and venues throughout Berlin. Then I was introduced to Dubstep and have been Bass infected ever since... 
Currently I am a resident DJ at Impulse Berlin hosting a regular Dubstep / Bassmusic session since September 2010. The Impulse sessions always took place in one of Berlin`s most respected clubs when it comes to sound, the wonderful ://about blank. In 2017 we moved the session to Club Gretchen, Berlin. I am/was also involved in other projects, e.g. I was one of the promoters of the annual Tief Frequenz Festival, a regular meet up of German Bass musicians. I toured with the dub/triphop/dubstep Band BRAINTHEFT through Europe and played at countless Dubstep raves in Berlin and the rest of Germany and play some international gigs from time to time.

German:
DJ Saiman legt seit 1996 auf diversen Veranstaltungen in und um Berlin auf. Zuerst als Hip-Hop DJ unterwegs, lernte er 2005 Dubstep kennen und wurde sofort vom Bass infiziert. Heute ist er Resident bei den regelmäßigen Impulse sessions, die mehr als 5 Jahre im ://about blank und seit 2017 im Club Gretchen, Berlin stattfinden. Des Weiteren war er einer der Organisatoren des Tief Frequenz Festivals und tourte mit der Band Braintheft durch Europa und bespielte zahlreiche Veranstaltungen in Berlin, dem Rest von Deutschland und Europa.
