for the BOMBER

So I like to think I was a walking encyclopedia of early 2000's nasty darkside DnB - given I was promoting, touring, living and breathing the shit. 
One day I was going thru my ridiculously large CD wallet and thought it would be cool to start at the front and work my way back so I picked 34 of the biggest tunes and smashed them out. I had intended on doing A thru Z but after 2 hours I was spent so stopped at Audio through to Limewax, A few months later I did another 2 hours finishing it off from Leon Switch to Vicious Circle - taking it to 66 tunes all up. If you loved your darkside shit in the 2000's it doesn't get much better than this (without doing a 50 hour mix)..........

Techno Up 2 @ Papiernik Ružomberok, Slovakia 19.3.2005

This set as recorded as part of Therapy Sessions Melbourne VII - Right before Robyn Chaos & The Panacea played.

Its 2.5 hours long and I'm way to busy to do a full tracklist but I can tell you thats its a fast poaced and up front set of heavy rolling techy dnb set with tracks from Audio, The Sect, Tech Itch, Loki, Ed Rush, Outside Agency, Current Value, Cooh, Black Sun Empire, Counterstrike, Paul Blackout, Raiden and many, many, many more (probably 40-50 tracks in total).

Probably my favourite dnb set I've ever mixed - Its heavy but not stupidly heavy - so hopefully you jump on it and give it a listen.

About 2 hours 15 mins @ 256k mp3

JFB Mega Mix

Producing euphoric, rave contorting drum & bass seems to be Tom Mundell's special skill. As Metrik he'd already released on labels like Viper, Spearhead and Shogun Audio before he signed exclusively with Hospital Records but since then he's further underlined those early shades of promise with his self titled debut EP on the label and worldwide tours. Ahead of a 2014 that's reportedly stacked with big projects he's taken the time to thread a dancefloor focused narrative throughout this 32 minute mix, made ahead of his upcoming appearance in Room Two on Friday 18th April.

Metrik - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

My first ever international supporting set and it was mutherfuckin' Tech Itch & Dylan!!!

** WARNING - This is a rookie and live mix from 10 years ago, worth a listen but read below for the back story first **

Joined a new crew called Bassoids and our first big party was the release party for Tech Itch & Dylan's LP on the Hell Down Under tour. We packed out Club Retro with 300-400 people. Club Retro was the only club we could find available. Shady as fuck nightclub on Lonsdale St with a vending machine with vibrators and editable panties which is usualy a 'pick up' club playing purely retro. he bar staff & management shat themselves when they heard the music (and also stole all the door takings at the end of the night) 

 I was going under the name of DMZ (which was me and an ex-mate). DMZ was a much better name than 'ctoafn' and was well before the name DMZ became synonymous with club that helped launch Dubstep. All for the best though. 

The place was rammed jammed and was up for the heaviest shit we could throw at them but on top of shitting ourselves playing to so many people right before the Godfather's of Heavy DnB stood over us, the needles were skipping like crazy as the dancefloor bounced so its a bit messy in spots but the vibe was insane and the only reason I'm putting this up.

We were lucky enough to have MC's Wasp, Dr Sponk and JC rotating on the mic who did a mad job hyping and made it an epic night. 

Made the total rookie mistake of playing some big Tech Itch tunes right before he came on to play which I still cringe hearing but I was a newbie and learnt not to do that again pretty quickly.

Also my first big rewind when Paradrenasite dropped. Still get goosebumps.

So its a bit of a messy mix at times but it taught me some big lessons which helped shape me as a DJ and what would introduce me into the Melbourne DnB scene.

ctoafn live before Raiden @ HiFi Melbourne - November 2005

ctoafn (Couldn't Think Of A F%#king Name) has been a DJ and promoter for the last 18 years in Melbourne moving back home to Adelaide January 2016 and back to Melbourne late 2021). He was the man behind Collateral Damage and Therapy Sessions Melbourne representing the darkside of drum n bass and has toured/supported acts including Dylan, Limewax, Current Value, Audio, Robyn Chaos, The Sect, Raiden, The Panacea, Dom & Roland, SPL and more. He also promoted and supported the "original and infamous" Spor & Ewun show @ The Palace, Evol Intent, John B, Apex (Unknown Error) and Telemetrik to name a few.

After giving up promoting in 2009 (except for the odd warehouse party) ctoafn spent a lot of time successfully getting his brand of bass music to the masses - Fast and furious mixing, dancefloor filling, bass ridden, filthy yet funky bass ;-) Whether its DnB, Dubstep, Glitch Hop, Moombahton or Breaks you are bound to hear it all.

His "PowerDub" mix released in July 2010 has received props from across the globe with thousands of downloads, CDs etc and then stepped it up and went onto 3 decks for the 2nd PowerDub Mixtape.

This led to playing for all of the large Melbourne bass music crews like Tekstep, BBA, Heavy Innit, The Operatives, PTA as well as Bass Elements & Enchanted Forest in Adelaide, Earth Frequency Festival in Brisbane, Dark Hearts in Christchurch. He's been a resident for one of the top 3 bass crews in Melbourne 'Twisted Audio' for 10 years after stepping back into his DNB roots.
