DUDJ Mix Series

A3K165 FAE (UK) - April 20th, 2021

French philosopher Georges Bataille once remarked: “I believe that truth has only one face: that of a violent bass and drum combo.”
The tone of the 27th mix by Sandy is filled with club heavy sounds, bringing out some of the finest contemporary Irish and UK underground dance sounds and wubs. 

Can you imagine a world without heavy bass sounds drenched in reverb and dubbed with top layers of riddims and airy pads? We couldn’t either, thankfully Sandy has delivered the goods, to deliver us from the banality of our existence with sounds that will force you to jump out of your chair at once and skank around in your room like a bellend.

Some of the tunes will make you want to commit seditious acts (acts which we can’t necessarily endorse here at DUDJ HQ, but might at least turn a blind eye to). The police siren that can be heard at 16:50 is because the beats are borderline illegal.
It is hard to construct a mix which moves between many subgenres smoothly while simultaneously ramping up the energy in an organic fashion. Sandy, however, carefully curates the sounds of artists such as Tim Reaper (big ups), Prozak, Sully, Van Wilkins, & Roaming Data.

The 28th instalment in our mix series is finally here and it is brought to you by S-Agenda.

The release timing is perfect with clubs reopening this week, she has put together a delicious mix filled with club-oriented, dance-inspiring sounds. 
Whether it’s icy pads and cavernous percussion, or squelching acid lines overdubbed with distorted drums and breaks, the mix radiates and reflects everything a club mix should be.

She has not confined the mix to one sound, instead there is an expert precision in fusing genres and seamless manoeuvring across the spectrum of 4x4 dance music. 

Featuring tracks from  Moodymann, DynArec, VOLRUPTUS, Paranoid London, Sidewinder aka D.Dan and the electro master Cyan85

DUDJ Mix Series 028: S-Agenda

Mix 29 in our series is brought to you by selector extraordinaire Gump Mode! As an integral member of the Shed Residents collective, he brings a passion for speedy beats together with an ear for melody and well-timed suspense. There is much to be said for fast techno but typing this is giving me carpal tunnel syndrome so I will refrain from doing so. 
Rolling stompers are of course to be expected anywhere you see the name Gump Mode – step into his world for an hour and hear the cavernous sounds at the forefront of no-frills hard techno.
Featuring tracks from I Hate Models, Kas:ST, ABR., and Les Garcons you don’t want to miss this one

DUDJ Mix Series 029: GUMP MODE

Mix number 30 in the DUDJ mix series is finally live! DJ Boyfriend brings an hour of contemplative ambient and bedroom beats to the table for a breath of fresh air here at DUDJ HQ. Just because the sun is gone doesn’t mean you have to do away with the bliss of neglecting assignments. The mix’s sonic palette is one of sonder, introspection, and lush arrangements. 
I say this for every mix but prepare to be transported by the airy synths and ethereal Foley sounds that would warm even the coldest selekta’s heart. There’s even like violins and stuff at one point it’s beautiful. Bet you weren’t expecting that from the DUDJ massif. 
This is something we haven’t heard in quite some time and is a marked change from the usual output of our mix series so be sure to give it a listen!

DUDJ Mix Series 030: DJ Boyfriend

Mix 31 in our series by Sahana Desert is finally here. We first met Sahana at the start of the year and she has since played at a few of our gigs, proving herself to be a fantastic selector. This mix packs a punch from start to finish. Expect no nonsense breaks, thick basses, and a healthy assortment of stretched out vocals.
If this doesn’t get you finger gunning and 2-stepping while “studying” in the Lecky, you may be beyond salvation. I found myself saying WOIII several times while listening not sure what I can say to entice you to listen other than that.
Featuring tracks from Coco Bryce, Overmono, Sully, K-65, and more!

‘SLN016’ is a 4 break beat track journey which kicks off the release of the opening track ‘SLN016A1’. Easing into break house at it’s finest with soulful vocals, organic drumming and jazzy bass lines. In his ‘state of flow’ attitude, Erta Ale presents quite possibly his best electro-break house release so far; thick kicks interpolated with chords and disorientating solo-synths, characterized by the other tracks on this EP. Mastered in full analog style by the master Tim Xavier.

Jack Martin is someone that we've kept on our radar for a while now - although the Trinity Music student has more of reputation on campus and in the city at large for his aptitudes on ACTUAL instruments (unlike us disc-spinning, talentless hacks over at DUDJ HQ), as well as his whirlwind livesets, Jack can also tick off DJing off on his seemingly endless list of skills, as evidenced in exemplary fashion in his contribution to our Mix Series. 

Weaving in between electronica, hip hop, and club music - from artists that live in worlds as disparate as FKA Twigs, Madvillian, Aphex Twin, JPEGMAFIA, Dave and Vegyn - Jack's mix is definitely one for the headphones and the perfect companion to accompany the seeing out of sunsets towards the end of summer.

Keep an eye out on Jack's solo work (@user-763098076) and his band, Pleasure Dome, as well as the blog / podcast he works on called 'Scootah Tunes'.

Tracklist:

This old house is all I have - Against All Logic
Aquarius - Boards of Canada
Track 07 - Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats
Money folder - Madvillain (four tet remix)
Alberto Balsam - Aphex Twin
Etoh - The Avalanches
Parsec - Stereolab
Bug thief - Iglooghost
Massage Situation- Flyling Lotus
Thug Tears- JPEGMAFIA
Venom- Little Simz
Milk Dudz 006 (140BPM)- Vegyn
18HUNNA - Dave & Headie One (four tet remix)
Fallen Alien - FKA twigs
