Bobay


Raw Sesh is proud to present a new written INTERVIEW SERIES, featuring DJ Bobay, 55, London born master gin distiller who created the new RAW SESH MIXTAPE 02 (link to mix in RS bio). The interview can be read further down this post, but let me tell you a bit more about the MIX!

This mix was recorded in Higienópolis on October 1st, 2022 using a Denon SMX-2000 mixer and a pair of 1200s. This mix will interest deep heads and newbies to the world of Drum and Bass. In DJ Bobay's words "...it is a journey through early rolling bass, jungle, DnB and intelligent DnB". Sounds like a pretty dope history lesson, doesn't it?

FAVOURITE PARTIES YOU'VE DEEJAYED AT:

Back in the early RAVE days the DJ circuit was pretty much a "closed shop", so after-parties were THE gigs to play until I moved up to Scotland. There I lived on the Isle of Raasay. I used to have a night once a month in the Ballroom of The Clan Macleod House. It had pretty raw and appalling acoustics, although great nights in the mid 90’s .The best club for a mixed event was the Brunel Rooms in Swindon… An amazing Soundsytem, with DnB as the main focus, and a smaller House room. I used to have to travel to Reading, Basement Records or London for a wider variety. You had to go, otherwise you'd miss the opportunity for the releases - remixes came fast and furiously.

Mix Process

Listened to whole track & then track by track.  Then tracked the drums and added the Drum buss, then soloed the the basses and went for the cleaner DI as the amp needed alot of work. Then the guitar was added to the bass and drums, balancing the mix out, finally the vocals.   A rough mix was made and then the tweaking was drums n vocal, then drums bass & vox, then guitar & vox and then the bass added and the finally the drums.  Another few of passes were made with small tweaks, until I was as happy as I could be.
