Hello, 

I’m pleased to give you Episode 5 of the Lowering The Tone podcast.

This time round I have a great Interview with Lee Rous, one half of the mighty Plump DJ’s, who kindly took some time out to travel down to sunny suburbia to shoot the breeze in my front room for a few hours (I must use the word ‘Interview’ loosely as it really is nothing more than a laid back chat between friends). Lee gives a humorous & honest account of his time in music. It’s refreshing and inspiring to hear producers of this calibre sharing their experiences and laying all to bare.

I will continue to bring you these intimate chats for as long as I can, and if you wish to contribute something to the show you can email me on Mark@loweringthetone.london.

On a slightly different note, I have been racking my brains as to how to float this podcast and also get some new equipment so I am able to give you a more professional show. This is what I have come up with;

I have two tracks ready and waiting for you called 'Bang 100!' & ‘When You’re Alone'. These two downtempo tracks part of an album project exclusive to Bandcamp.

I wanted to do something slightly different and a real love of mine. You can pay what you want and all profits will go to subsidising Lowering The Tone 

If you have no cash to spare then you can take them for free as a gift. All I ask is that you please spread the word by simply sharing links.

You can get the track here : https://meatkatie.bandcamp.com/album/bang-100-when-your-alone


Thank you for your ongoing support and I hope you enjoy the music,

Let me know your thoughts.

 

Mark (Meat Katie)

Meat Katie 'Lowering the Tone' Episode 5 (with Lee Rous/Plump Dj's Interview)

Quest (IBWT) bass breaks 2step garage mix

The Game On Tour started as an idea by Wes Smith to promote and support the release of his soundtrack on the Sony Playstation game, Table Top Racing: World Tour!  Wes and I have been working together to find promoters and venues to bring our sound outside our home cities, but naturally kicked off the tour in San Francisco.  Monarch was our first stop and with a successful launch, we're looking forward to more events through March 2017.

Red Lion Presents - Crash Landing, The Screamers & Streamers Set - Harvest Festival 2017

Basically Tayo is a legend when it comes to the breakbeat scene.....

After paying his warm up dues as a drum and bass DJ alongside Fabio, Grooverider and Peshay, Tayo set up Friction with fellow members of the breakbeat elite, Adam Freeland and Rennie Pilgrem and watched the club and it’s residents become a focal point for the UK breakbeat sound.

With other residencies back in the day at Fabric, Bugged Out! and Big Beat Boutique to name a few and various appearances on the Kiss FM Breakbeat show Tayo made a name for himself as a DJ playing along side the likes of Carl Cox, Layo & Bushwacka, Hybrid, Lee Burridge and Craig Richards as well as the endless people he met while on his travels around the world.

After a 2 month stint in Australia playing various clubs and festivals Tayo put together the exclusive mix for Triple J Radio back in January 2004.

Tayo - Triple J Radio Mix - January 2004

January 2021 - Sounds of Summer

"Anyone who parties knows that there is often a track in the night that for a few moments, stops your stomp while you fully appreciate the amazing piece of music, the DJ for playing it and the positive energy given off by the dancefloor faithful that surrounds you on your sacred spot, before you then snap out of it and dance every single one of your troubles away. You might have already guessed it, but Shack’s new masterpiece is very much one of those types of tracks!"
[✊ Sid Wesley at Life Support Machine]

The thinking behind this piece was to create a piece of heavy, but joyously uplifting, rolling breaks that would transport people to a special place in space & time.

I imagined heading out to the Deep Playa in the heart of the Nevada desert with a beautifully dialled in sound system, closing my eyes and just dancing my heart out with wild abandon. In many ways this track owes as much to my love of heavy, hypnotic guitar music as it does the pure electronics of the dancefloor as it builds to a raging, ecstatic intensity with layer-upon-layer of synthetic and real-world drones.

In the heart of this global pandemic let's join together and touch the sky.
