Essence of Chi Festival Mix

The Dusty Records Show

A drum & bass / jungle show.

We're Yoss & Deepframe (AKA Chronos Groove) and we love to showcase our record collection. You'll find everything and anything DnB/Jungle from the last 20+ years. All mixed on vinyl, live streamed and recorded for listening on Soundcloud.

Essence of Chi was birthed in South London in February 2004 and swiftly emerged as one of the most rapidly expanding Drum & Bass promotions of the early 2000s. Renowned for throwing unforgettable parties that ensnared all facets of drum and bass, from the depths of deep grooves to the explosive energy of the dance floor, EOC events are famed for their electric atmosphere, meticulous attention to detail in sound, lighting and space, and of course a roster of exceptional artists, harmoniously blended together to achieve the perfect equilibrium.

From humble origins at Brixton's Plan B, EOC gradually evolved into roadblocked birthday soirées at Scala and Hidden, whilst regular events at the then-infamous Herbal in Shoreditch witnessed around-the-block queues. Gramaphone became the next stomping ground from 2010 until its eventual closure in 2011.

EOC’s sonic wings continued to spread: hosting tour parties in locations across the UK, such as Leeds, Oxford, Brighton, Guildford, and Portsmouth & arenas at some of London's most prestigious drum and bass events, including Renegade Hardware v Valve during Carnival 2006, The Baby Box and Bar at the iconic Ministry of Sound for their in-house d&b nights, Fuse and Switch. EOC even had the privilege of commanding an entire weekend at Innovation in the Sun two years on the trot, alongside Rotation. Not forgetting their legendary legacy at Moondance, the EOC area held a regular residency for an unparalleled ten years running. This lead to being twice nominated twice for the coveted title of Best Small Club Night at the Drum n Bass Awards, in both 2008 and 2009.

Fast forward to 2017, when Essence of Chi made an explosive comeback, taking on the mighty task of leading the electrifying Drum n Bass stage at Moondance Festival, while also returning triumphantly to Scala for a curated extravaganza on the hallowed ground of New Year’s Eve. And thus began a wave of "Middle Skool" events, paying homage to the Golden Era of 1999-2009 in conjunction with scene stalwart, DJ Ascension, captivating the hearts and souls of ravers at North London's Work Bar & Club 512.

With the dawn of 2024 on the horizon, EOC sets its sights on a momentous 20th Anniversary celebration. Plans are underway for a multi-venue jubilee, crafted in collaboration with their longtime allies and ethical clothing sponsors, THTC. Coincidentally, THTC themselves are celebrating an impressive 25 years in the industry, making this a harmonious convergence of musical milestones.

Fortnightly Weds 10-12 on https://jungletrain.net • www.rudefm.com • Healing Crew • Essence of Chi resident

Dozer has always taken a full spectrum approach to his DJ sets since he started around 2002, originally inspired DJs like Zinc, Photek & Marcus Intalex.  To this day his sets will often encompass many different styles from Soulful to Darkside, Rolling to Jungle Choppage.  He is a music lover first and foremost, and his musical taste encompasses music well beyond Jungle Drum & Bass.  He has a deep knowledge of and passion for Jungle Drum & Bass, so can hone in on a sound or era when the crowd wants it or when he has an opportunity.

He formed the Healing Crew, with Mel De’Vil & JrS, and they became residents at Essence of Chi in the 2000, and remained a regular fixture at EOC events, and Middle Skool events, whilst they were active.  He also played at many other legendary events and venues during the 2000s, including the The End, Ministry of Sound, Traffic and Movement.

He had a show on prominent internet station Life FM in the early 2000s, then moved to London pirate Rude FM where he held down a show for over 10 years.  Dozer developed a love of House and Techno, from the mid-2000s, and hooked with Subterra to explore this style on community station Kane FM and in clubs around Guildford and Reading in the early 2010s.

He came back to predominantly representing Jungle Drum & Bass from the mid-2010s, returning to Rude FM, and has since played at many top draw events such as Middle Skool, Launch and Horns Crew Whistle Crew (fresh new event for 2022, watch out).  He won the InnerSoul x Data Transmission DJ Competition in 2018, and more recently played at Rupture’s 15th Birthday in 2021.
