LOEFAH ft. CHUNKY recorded live at 81 BERLIN, OHM, 23.3.2016

"Loefah has changed UK club music forever – several times. His re-imagination of Jungle marked the transition from upbeat “ongibongi” to the halfstep bass-bin tremblers that people commonly associate with Dubstep’s golden era. Take the classic remix of D1’s “Crack Bong” for example, retrieved by Version from dubplate a couple of years back, and you get the picture. Loefah’s own Swamp 81 label, starting in 2009, paved the way for a new generation of producers on the intersection of Techno, House and what he himself coined as “post-dubstep”. A long-lasting collaboration with Orson and Hops emerged in a series of wild mid-week events at OHM 2015-16, bringing artists like Mala, Chunky or Josey Rebelle to our beloved living room. For the final Version of 2023, things come full cycle again: Loefah is back for an exclusive DJ set, his first in Berlin in 6 years."

LOEFAH & CHUNKY @ 81 BERLIN, OHM 2016

A highlight set from this year for me and my USA Debut, the amazing Ayesha invited me to play Nowadays in Brooklyn NYC earlier this year in March. it was an honour to play and a huge mile stone especially in such good company alongside my good friends coco and Ayesha. 

this set really represents the different sides of how my sound has developed over the years. it was amazing opening the club and building the energy, starting with loads of dubbed out uk techno percussiveness and the final hour filled with loads of 2 step, electro, and breaks trying to showcase alot of classic uk sounds to The NY crowd, shouts to everyone who came from the beginning also to Eva, Joey, Sam and Andre and the rest of the crew I met out there, and of course to Nowadays and Ayesha for having me across the pond.

big up hope you all enjoy!

T4T LUV NRG affiliate Introspekt comes through with a buoyant soundtrack for your end-of-year celebrations. 

“The intention behind this mix was groove and bounce," Introspekt says of the hour-long mix. "I wanted to touch on various styles of garage (and the adjacent genres I play) while focusing primarily on the classic 4x4 garage sound. The bulk of this mix weaves back and forth between lush garage house vibes and dubbed-out 4x4. I round it all off with a few heavy 2-step rhythms…”

Hessle Audio feat. Ben UFO, RHR & Leod - 04 March 2024

Mia Koden (@miakoden) first emerged as half of Sicaria Sound but since breaking out alone has established her own musical identity. It draws on her South Sudanese heritage and music from across the African continent and beyond, not least her current surroundings in South London and the city's rich sound system culture. Often operating around the 140BPM mark, she dropped two head-turning tracks ‘Hot Take' and 'I Did’ early last year then debuted on Ilian Tape with a dark and irresistible EP that traverses multiple bass-heavy genres.

Mia does the same with her mix for us this week with, in her words, "bass, percussive, 2step, 140BPM, dubstep, dub, dub techno and breaks" all coming thick and fast at up to 150 beats per minute. It's a breathless 90-minute selection of global body music packed with lively percussion, big on low ends and not afraid to get rhythmically inventive while also dropping in the odd playful vocal from the worlds of grime and r&b. Both technically sound and tastefully assembled, it's a thrilling statement from the vital Koden.

Dekmantel Podcast 458 - Mia Koden

Last year, when we wrote that "the best UK garage is coming out of Los Angeles," we were talking about Introspekt. The US DJ, who has since moved to New York, really understands the genre—its appeal, swing and unique, bassy whomp. Listen to any of her tracks, like last year's "Forlorn," and you'll hear someone who produces like she's been making UKG all her life. This is probably partly because she comes from a dubstep background, but either way, if you're looking for new UK garage beats, Introspekt is one of the best going right now.

Her DJing also hits a distinct sweet spot, zeroing in one of the proto-dubstep, dark UK garage days when producers like El-B were making the hottest shit around. Her sound is both retro and forward-looking, as you'll hear on her RA Podcast, which balances vintage Big Apple cuts from Skream & Benga with new-school tunes from Amaliah and Surusinghe. It's not so much a throwback as it is a rejuvenation of an old sound—a new way to look at it and a new way to make it. If hindsight is 20/20, then Introspekt has perfect vision, and mixes like this are the perfect way to educate listeners, make them move and innovate a little in the process.
