DNBTV #142: Bad Taste Sessions 14.04.2011 (2021 Remaster)

Audiophile Drum & Bass Enthusiast. Listening now over twentyfive years of good music and started djing 2016. #ravealot

Hailing from Celle, Germany, Demented first heard jungle/dnb as a 12 year old when he got his hands on a One Nation Rave Tape. From that first listen he was hooked, the pace and power making a lasting impression. His obsession with the sound carried him thought his teenage years to his first rave party, Jungle Mania in Bremen, solidifying his love for this music and motivating him to become involved in the German rave scene.

In 2005 he began his DJ career at Timecode @ Tivoli in Bremen and has been working as a DJ in the scene ever since. His style of mixing is one geared toward the dance floor, his selection on the harder, industrial side of Techstep and Neurofunk.

In 2015, after amassing over 10 years of experience as a DJ, he made the transition into production and has secured 2 single releases on Subplate Recordings, with his debut EP also being released on the label in June 2020. His Industrial, dark and twisted brand of tech funk has garnered support from well-known DJ’s and has quickly developed his own unique sound and signature within the genre.

...just to mention a few...

A true pioneer of the Drum and Bass sound, Gridlok remains one of the most highly regarded artists in the industry. With a discography spanning over a two decades and featuring classics such as ‘Moodswings’, ‘Bottomfeeder’, and ‘Standing Room Only’, it’s little wonder that the Gridlok name has become synonymous with timeless Drum and Bass.

Involved with music from an early age, Ryan Powell aka Gridlok picked up a variety of instruments, but it was after experimenting with a cheap radio shack microphone paired with a 4-track tape recorder that he soon found himself in the murky world of production. Now with the use of a computer and an E-mu sampler along with an ever-changing combination of analogue gear and production techniques, this West Coast producer has led by example, constantly exploring new ways of injecting emotion and attitude into his art. 

The grimy uncompromising style that Gridlok has developed forms the foundation for his glittering career, gaining him the attention of his peers with household names such as Shy FX, Pendulum, and Dom and Roland lining up to work with the American producer. Acknowledged by artists in and out of Drum and Bass, Gridlok has put his spin on other genres, remixing for the likes of electronica giant Josh Wink and house legend Sasha. Gridlok’s original music and remixes have also branched into other media, with his work appearing in titles such as Konami’s Dance Dance Revolution and MTV’s Challenge series. Covering a wide spectrum within Drum and Bass, Gridlok’s versatile production has allowed him to release on a diverse range of labels, spanning from Ram Records and Playaz to Commercial Suicide and Moving Shadow, whilst maintaining his signature sound....

Dark Jungle & D&B disciple—strictly underground, strictly sinister. Evil breaks, darkside bass, and raw emotion in every mix.
Sonically forged in the shadows of Renegade Hardware, Metalheadz, Virus, DSCI4, Bad Company, Cause4Concern, Tech Itch and beyond. My sound is a tribute to the darker architecture of drum & bass—where tension, precision, and atmosphere collide.

Recently expanding into dark techno blends—industrial pulse, hypnotic repetition, and shadow-drenched textures. The same ethos applies: no compromise, no polish, just raw sonic architecture built for the underground.
