What do you get if you cross the sounds of Critical Music boss Kasra and label affiliate Foreign Concept? Well apart from an over excited Data Transmission office a stonker of a podcast would be our answer as the two D&B dons have joined forces to provide this weeks exclusive mix for your listening pleasures.

It’s Kasra’s second appearance on our podcast series having previously wowed us with a solo outing back in 2010 and comes ahead of this years much anticipated #CriticalSound Christmas party which sees Kasra and co. return to London for a very special one off even on December 20. With Kasra, going back to back with Foreign Concept, Mefjus teaming up with emperor with further support from man like Marcus Intalex and Spectrasoul we thought we’d give you a taste of things to come by having the aforementioned Kasra and Foreign Concept work their magic for us this Christmas.

The next episode in the Bassic mix series comes from a legendary artist in the game, Dom & Roland. 

Presiding over an impressive back catalogue spanning 20 years, boasting collabs with the likes of Noisia, Amon Tobin and Optical, he is an integral part in the tech sound today.

With 6 albums under his belt, spread across Moving Shadow and Dom & Roland Productions (DRP), he is now finalising his 7th album, set for release in the next year on a major drum & bass label (to be announced). 

With a Remix Album released on DRP late last year with S.P.Y., Mefjus & Break, it was the 'Unofficial Jah / Outta Endz' single and VIP release that briskly swung Dom back into the limelight - two of the highest selling Metalheadz releases this decade.

A. Insecticide  B. Dirtball

America’s number one drum &amp; bass producer is about to hit the streets again with a solo outing on his own label: Project 51. Ryan Powell aka Gridlok is no new comer to the game! After releasing his 1st single over a decade ago he has appeared on all the top labels such as Ram Records, C.I.A, Playaz, Renegade Hardware, and Violence Recordings. Not only that but throughout the years he has gained support from some of the worlds finest DJ’s such as Andy C, Hype, Marky, Friction, and many more! Now we turn the pages as USA’S number one is back with two stinking tunes worthy of a rewind.

Starting off the proceedings Insecticide gets the ball rolling. With mysterious vibes, twisted soundscapes, and not forgetting those swarms of killer bees stinging at your ear drums, all before that heavy kick and snare starts piercing those speak boxes. The intro gets the blood pumping and then that dirty sub bass-line kicks you below the wai

FFS Live: BTK w/ RymeTyme — Virus at The Steel Yard — 01.02.2020

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....
