Massive respect for the 100 club bro👊 big up from the UK!!! Quality all the way🔥☢️🔥☢️

Big love from Australia! One of my liquid mixes got put in a playlist and I saw this. Great tunes man and awesome mixing! Cant wait to listen to more of it! Keep it up! :)

We were still in the throes of the pandemic when I launched the LLL series back in March of 2021. I had dipped my toes into the Twitch streaming pool through 2020 as part of the ATL DJ Collective crew but this was the first time I struck out on my own to do my own thing on my own channel. I had no idea where it was gonna end up but I set some parameters for myself. I wanted to avoid playing the same tracks from show to show and I wanted to make sure that every set I played met a minimum standard of quality to where I could throw the recording up on Soundcloud and it would stand up to some of the best mixes I heard from my personal DNB DJ idols. While I feel like in some ways I succeeded in that task, I think I underestimated the amount of work that would go into unearthing fresh new music every week, time spent organizing my Rekordbox playlists, tagging tunes by key and plain familiarizing myself with every new track, finding relationships between old and new tracks, devising a cue point system to alert me on the fly where vocals come in on tracks to avoid clashes. Not to mention, making artwork, posting on socials... The list goes on and on. I wish it were as easy as "just jumping on and playing for 2 hours". It's actually easy to do that, but can you jump on and PLAY WELL for 2 full hours?

With the benefit of hindsight and 100 LLL episodes under my belt I can undoubtedly say this endeavor has made me a better DJ, even with my 30+ years of experience going into this. The bonus level to all of it has been all the cool people I now call my friends, who log on every Saturday to watch me sink or swim every week. All the banter in the chat, tunes we've recommended to each other and bonding we've done over this music we love called drum'nbass. All the producers who've reached out to me and entrusted me with their exclusives. Everyone who's listened and shared on Soundcloud and socials... I appreciate y'all. I don't know for how long I'll keep this going, but for now I can call this experiment an unqualified success. Thanks for the support and much love 🖤

D:RC came up DJing (mostly drum'nbass) in the mid-90s while attending the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga. As founding member of the local Phungus, Playtheavy and Sleuth Empire crews he found himself at the center of a burgeoning rave scene, collaborating with friends on dance music events in the Athens/Atlanta areas and beyond.

In 2004 he founded Studio:Machina, a graphic design practice geared towards the music industry. Building on his behind the scenes expertise and keen artistic instincts he's become an in-demand contributor on artistic projects in a variety of media. He's toured the US as member of the Smookie Illson bass music trio, serves as creative director for the Chicago-based Illeven:Eleven Recordings label and functions as brand/art director of several nightlife concepts. 

Behind the decks he currently heavily favors the sounds of DNB, but brief forays into breakbeat, house, UK Garage + Bass and dubstep are not uncommon. Get to know.
