@redbullschuh ’s unique sound is a mix of rave, techno and bass music, all wrapped up together while still leaving some free space for other musical influences to slip in - think Mall Grab, Slowthai, Skepta, The Prodigy, and more.

Shampain b2b Cachai - 16 Juillet 2021

MINDS are set to release a monster 22 track V/A highlighting the power of the creative community in Ireland on July 29th - with all proceeds going to PIPS Hope & Support.

We are stoked to bring you the premiere of Derry tech-wizard Cartin's track 'Spanner' which meshes deconstructed beats, filthy synths and an unexpected switch-up that brings a smile to your face in one of our favourite tracks of the year!

Cartin - Spanner [MINDS] - Plain Sailing Debuts

John Lappin - The Druid Awakens

The three Bs: breaks, basslines, & bangers. This is the sound of the 26th instalment of our mix series, brought to you by Louis Clarke. The mix features a healthy dose of some of the filthiest wubs we have heard over here at DUDJ HQ in a long time, at times offset by dreamy pads and vocals that sound like they were ripped straight out of some sesh gaff in Croydon to deliver you from the monotony of your boring degree. 

Crank the A/C for this one, it’s designed to make you move with tracks from artists such as Special Request, Diemantle, Samurai Breaks, & Bakey. Louis manages to carefully splice the eclectic sounds of his selection into a mix with depth & a flow which builds the energy in a seamless fashion. The mix finishes off with a healthy dose of jungle & dnb carnage to get the last finger guns and skanking out of you through a healthy dose of chopped amens.

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

"CoOp Presents crew enter 2022 with the help of some legends from the world of UK dance music; a three-track EP of seriously uplifting broken step from the dons Groove Chronicles.

Groove Chronicles have releases dating back to 1997 and are legendary in the world of UKG.

Founded by Noodles, he is now working with longtime associate, Dubchild.

Noodles has been working in the music game for three decades, from spinning at raves in Paris when he was 17, to serving it up behind the record shop counter, to running his own label, DPR. Responsible for bonafide classics like 'Stone Cold', 'Myron' & 'Poor Man's Break', his work serves as a blueprint for many sounds across the UK bass spectrum.

Leicester legend, Dubchild, stems from a musical background of reggae, hip hop, house, garage & jungle. He's released an array of dubstep & instrumental grime records through various labels since the early noughties, including Caspa's Storming Productions & Heavy Artillery, amongst others.

The duo also combine under the moniker Nu-Agenda with their own hybrid house style, and have had collective support over the years from stations such as 1Xtra, NTS, Kiss, Reprezent & Rinse, DJs such as Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Mary Anne Hobbs & Ras Kwame, and publications like iD, Fact, DJ Mag & Crack Magazine, to name a few.

So to the music, a triple threat of bass music, riding along at roughly 130bpm.

We kick off with some pure 'Joy', which does what it says on the tin. This is feel-good vibes straight from the edge; the duo's unique blend of broken 2step garage fusion incorporates skippy drums, soulful r&b tinged vocals, gliding horns, smooth rhodes and some serious bassweight.

'Take Me Away' is on a more traditional 2Step vein. Another soulful vocal rides across a UKG backing, complete with killer subs, organ stabs and a sprinkle of jungle chops scattered on top to liven up the dance.

The set closes with the BrokenStep mix of 'Inside Stepping'. This is a slightly more stripped deeper one, but still blending 2Step sonics on top of a brokenstep riddim, with soulful touches and clash shouts. Heads-down foundation business for the steppers."

PREMIERE: Groove Chronicles - Take Me Away (2Step Mix)

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!
