Code - Out Of Tune ? (2011 Mix - clip)

Buy from Subtle Audio

Code & Mecca - In Cold Blood (early demo version)

This is a recording of the last set from the Technicality night at the Annexe in Brixton, London on June 30th 2007. Was playing between 4 and 5am, so took the chance to play some less obvious stuff and delved into some of the more experimental styles of breakbeat D&B.

*** Please note ***

I had to cut the first track by Photek out of the mix, as Soundcloud were giving me a copyright infringement warning about that tune when I tried to upload the full mix. If you want to hear the mix from the very start, which includes the "KJZ" track, then download from the Dnbshare link just below this text ;-)

Code - Dark Nights :: Ecstatic Gloom 12" Vinyl (SUBSIDE001) OUT NOW !

Seeing as Limerick is the 1st Irish City of Culture this year and seeing as I now live abroad and sometimes miss the place, I thought I'd make a piece of music dedicated to a city that, to me, has always been a city of culture. To prove that point, this track bears influence from a number of people I saw / heard performing in Limerick City while living there between 1997 and 2010. It also reflects the diversity of the Limerick music scene of that time, taking in hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul and of course Drum & Bass / Jungle. 

Quite a few experiences in Limerick lead me to the sound sources that were used in the making of this track - a radio show called "The Vortex" which broadcast on Wired FM in the mid to late nineties, the $kint night with Skinny Boy Jaz and Eric Fitz which used to run at Costello's on Thursday nights from 1997 - 1999, the famous painting of 'Jhelisa' on the wall of the dancefloor in that club (is it still there?), two shows hosted by the Limerick Jazz Society (Charles Gayle playing in the Limerick City Gallery and Julian Joseph at the Castletroy Park Hotel), a DJ competition held in the University of Limerick sometime in 1998 and of course, the Nu Killa Beats nights which I was involved with alongside a lot of other Limerick D&B Dj's from 2000 - 2010. I won't be more specific than that about the samples used, but it should be a bit of fun for any music nerds to try pick out the musical references :-) 

There's a real everyday Limerick sound in the mix too - the bells of the Redemptorists church - a sound you can hear daily in the city and so they kinda tie in the various other influences and references from different times and spots that I mentioned previously.

Of course I should also mention the excellent Music Technology course I attended in UL (University of Limerick) - I also got a fair wedge of culture into me that year as well. 

Play it from the heart …

Code - From The Heart (Treaty Treats)

Started in the summer of 2010, finally finished in the summer of 2014 ! … 162bpm breakbeat D&B.

Code - See The World As A Dream (Test Mix Clip)

Code - The Stars (Test Mix)

Code - Lament (prototype version)

This was nearly finished but lost the project file... I wanted to go back and turn down the bass drop that comes in half way through but I guess it will have to stay the way it is now ! Few other things I wanted to fix, but it was 95% done, so better to have this mp3 than nothing...

Just something I've been working on recently inspired by the early days of Jungle / Hardcore / Drum & Bass... It's my own small tribute to the likes of Neil Trix/FBD Project, Alex Reece, Pulse & The Wax Doctor + LTJ Bukem & Fabio who instigated this kind of warm, rolling atmospheric sound. Going out to anyone who remembers that vibe and to those keeping it alive - never gets old for me :-)

Code - Set Me Free (7th Storey Projects - Elysian Boundary EP)

Code - Atlantic :: LOUISA001 10" Vinyl - OUT NOW !

Started this in 2013 as a simple roller kinda tune but never really finished it until I went back to it again around the end of 2019 and then again this week, so here it is. Rolling, atmospheric D&B but with a bit of an edge and a few twists.

Code - Uncertain Supernovas (clip)

This is a recording of a set I played at what was a amazing monthly Wednesday night session run by Chris Inperspective at the Herbal club on Old Street, London. Was the place to be if you wanted to hear D&B with a heavy breakbeat influence. I made the trip over late in 2002 to see Breakage, Senses and Bailey play and even though there were only 50 - 60 people there it was one of the best nights of D&B I've ever attended. Was a real honour to get to play there myself about a year later alongside Polska and Breakage.


The set features MC's Criminial K (Bassbin), Stirlin & SP 

Check that clip-ity clop break-wreck of Sonar Circle into Digital - couldn't cue the track with the ancient CD deck installed in the club! Gave up on playing anymore CD's on the night after that - haha

Code - Born (unmixed / unfinished - clip)

Just to introduce myself - it's Code from Subtle Audio Recordings. I'm based in Limerick, Ireland. My first love musically is D&B and Jungle but I like and play Techno / Dubstep / Electronica too.

I started my label 'Subtle Audio' in 2005. The aim of the operation is to release interesting and experimental breakbeat D&B. Since the inception artists such as Alpha Omega, Equinox, Breakage, Nebula, Fanu, Sileni, Polska, Macc, dgoHn, Naibu, 0=0, Senses, Fracture & Neptune, Dissident and many more have contributed beats to the project and there's more to come! If you want to hear the latest from the label and the wider D&B scene, tune into Jungletrain.net on Thursdays @ 9:30pm GMT (fortnightly) for the Subtle Audio Show. 

If anyone wants to make a booking - just send a message !
