I went to Hell Bent.  Run as HELL! There is DJ on the flyer named “Cool Cool”. Who was that?!

ha ha ha, 'we don't know what wisconsin is.'

Went to the Daft Punk further as a drugged out kid, Went to the last Further a spiritual being. Drop Bass Network made me what I am today.  Thanks Kurt n crew! Represent!

So much i didnt know about the scene! Re enlightened!! 

I have photos of this specific event(the fireman) and yes, there WAS an effigy for Burning Man, and YES, someone started a fire on Saturday night, BEFORE the sunday effigy. I took the photos from atop the tractor trailer that was next to the fire. 📧

great to hear, just posted the complete furthur film I did in '95 www.smudaphoto.com/video

Same. Luckily there's a bunch of us "wisers" out there now.

LOVING hearing the history of our scene!!! So disappointed I didn't get to experience the early days of DBN and the Miwest scene in general.

I LOVE the dick measureing bass cabinit walls!!!

I'm happy to announce I've started a new podcast series! Each week I'll bring in DJ/Producers from the industry to chat about life and music. Check out the first episode here. If you like what you hear, head to the official site above to see more episodes or subscribe on iTunes!

Kurt Eckes (aka DJ Jethrox) joins Dustin this week to discuss the rise and fall of the Drop Bass Network. Commonly abreviated as DBN, the organization/record label went on to receive cult-like status which still maintains life-long devotees.

In the midwest, the parties and their infamous reputation often led to many mythical rumors of giant proportions that we attempted to debunk, including stealing goats, practicing satanism, tying people to trees on acid, and fending off the FBI on a regular basis. Richie Hawtin (pre-hair) and Aphex Twin were frequent guests and along with the help of Woody McBride, they hosted the first ever U.S. appearance of Daft Punk…a party that most people in attendance still won’t shut the fuck up about.

Kurt and DustinFor the rest of the world, Drop Bass Network was better known as a legendary and uncompromising record label with a primary focus on Acid Techno and Hardcore music. The label gave its’ start to many of today’s innovators and legends such as Woody McBride, Adam Beyer, Umek, DJ Hyperactive, Jesper Dahlback, and many more. The back catalog still fetches high prices on sites like Discogs and is often sought after by rave aficionados and casualties alike. This interview was recorded at the end of the summer in 2015 at the Kompound, where Kurt currently resides.

Mumdance b2b James Ruskin - NTS Radio - 04 May 2018

On July 21st 2018 I played a set at the Boombox club in London E17 as a part of Gordie's 72nd birthday celebrations. 
For those who don't know, Gordie is legendary figure on the London squat party scene who used to bang out (and still does from time to time) the fiercest and fastest hard acid Techno most notably on "Underground Sound" sound system, and I used to play alongside him most weekends during the late nineties and early 2000s. 
This was a bit of a reunion and a chance for all his old friends and sparring partners to wish him a happy birthday .. I played for an hour and Gordie played after me and the vibe was as lit as it used to be back in those days. 
This set is a re-recording of the one I played that night featuring all the same records plus a few extras that i couldn't quite fit in. 
Very much a flashback to the sound I used to play at the massive squatted warehouses back then..  Happy Birthday Gordie !! 

Respect to Jiba, Virus, Vox Populi, Manik, Underground Sound, Malfeiteurs, Chiba City, Unsound, Immersion, Toe2Head, Aardvark, Insanity, Ooops, Innerstate, Kak, Stinky Pink, Brian, Large Salad Discoteque, Restless Natives, E1S, Twisted, Offshore, Reknaw, Hackney Sounds,  and all the rigs who used to smash it week in week out plus all the ones I've forgotten to list!
