7HēRë.

DJ Flight has been a constant throughout the many peaks and troughs of drum & bass. She's one of the genre's key chroniclers, with a real-time history of drum & bass in her archives as a radio presenter, and a level of behind the scenes involvement that spans decades.

While Flight's advocacy for equitable gender representation in drum & bass through her EQ50 collective is the most visible, it's by no means the sole initiative. Her work also extends to the Prison Radio Association—the only radio station made specifically for incarcerated people—as well as the Windrush Stories series, which focuses on the cultural history and contributions of Afro-Caribbean migrants to the UK.

Flight is also, plainly, a wicked DJ, who doesn't prefer one scene or subgenre over another—which also makes her a font of knowledge. (Her history of 2000s drum & bass is among the best genre deep dives we've ever published.) This RA Podcast is two hours of majestic, freewheeling beats that touch on every corner of drum & bass: from the minimalistic and razor-edged to ragga looseness, with a killer downtempo outro to smooth out the final landing. RA.942 is a first class journey from one of the scene's most enduring heroes. Big up Flight.

Freerotation 2024 : The House Of Crocodiles Part 2 (Live Recording)

I’ve always appreciated the emotional drive accompanied by thick percussive sounds in Odesza’s music.  After being contacted by them to remix All We Need, I instantly got to work; Here's what I came up with after finishing it a few months ago. If you've seen me play in the past few months, you've definitely heard this track in my sets :)

P.S. If you want to, feel free to <3 on hype machine!

Lost In Time

Eminence - Lost In Time (feat. Memia)

7" limited to 500 copies
Houndstooth store: http://found.ee/Dry 
iTunes/Google Play: http://found.ee/DryDigi

‘Dry’ is the second single from the devastating debut album by 18+, ‘Trust’, which was lauded from Dazed to Mixmag to Dummy, who named it in their top 5 LPs of 2014. The formerly shadowy US duo, now revealed as Samia & Justin, have operated since 2011, evolving through several media formats of music, performance and visuals which graphically explore identity, gender, sex and morality. 

‘Dry’ is a trap homage dripping with innuendo and coded lyrics draped over a backdrop of gun cocks and pitch-shifted chants. On the flip, brand new track ‘Body’ is a woozy call-and-response that unnervingly brings together sex and disorientation.

Cut and mastered by Matt Colton, the 7” single is pressed to dinked vinyl and limited to 500 copies worldwide - order from the Houndstooth store and receive free WAV files upon release.

Joker has been bending the rules of bass since 2008 when he dropped Grimey Princess. Fusing grime and dubstep with his own particularly pinch of otherworldlyness (often referred to as ‘purple), the Bristolian producer and DJ behind sublime instrumentals like Tron and Snakeater is back with a brand new album, The Mainframe and after hearing the single Midnight, we can’t wait to get our ears on it. To celebrate the release of The Mainframe, we asked the musical manipulator to create an i-DJ to end all i-DJs. Press play and let the purple reign…

Last November, I had the pleasure of playing the second edition of Club Citrus in Tottenham's Unit 58.

This was my first time opening a club—a slot that usually allows for constructing a weirder atmosphere. That kind of freedom was something I’d always wanted to explore.

As it turned out, I ended up having a rough bout of food poisoning the night before and, despite my better judgement, felt determined to play anyway. Subconsciously, I think this energy translated into a fairly spooky and delirious set—one that begins as a soundtrack to an empty club, before slowly opening up into something more graspable as dancers gradually filed in.

It's a testament to my hosts Lucas and Henry that I managed to have such a lovely time in spite of fighting nausea my whole set. Thank you so much for inviting me to play and looking after me just the right amount :-)

So anyway, here's that opening hour. There are so many peak-time mixes out there, I figured something a little earlier in the night might scratch a different itch.

Otik B2B Scuba (2nd Anniversary Show) - 01 March 2025

Phonica Mix Series 130 welcomes an artist who has defined and defied the rules of drum & bass like no other. dBridge, real name Darren White has been in the game for well over 30 years. Growing up listening to artists like DJ Randall & Grooverider on Rush FM when he was starting out shaped his ear for the sound that he would learn to grow with, love and mutate. With over 100 records released on labels like R&S, Convex, Metalheadz, Nonplus and more that span well into the 90's dBridge has become a pioneer well in his own right. Not only that but his label Exit Records which not too long ago celebrated its 100th release has been a output determined to push the boundaries of experimental bass, D&B and more. 
Having usually referred to himself as being producer first, it is not to be mistaken that White is a seasoned pro behind the decks. Having stepped into Worlds of his own playing with some of Drum & Bass' biggest names like Doc Scott & Goldie, the artist has also stepped into lengthy b2b's with Bass artist Youngsta and Techno legend Donato Dozzy (which he will do once more this Summer at Dekmantel). 
For this mix dBridge has dedicated it to people around him, a friends and family mix of sorts. With heavy bassy tones from the get go and experimental techno and electro flowing throughout - it showcases the sure diversity of one of the best to do it! We had a brief chat with dBridge about the mix and what he has coming up.

For Tectonic’s 20th anniversary, label boss Pinch rounds up some heaters from the label alongside their Tectonic Sound compilation. Spinning the whole bass spectrum, Pinch goes from broiling two step to scrubbing grime, with frazzled pulse discharging great energy beside Trim’s idiosyncratic, expressive raps. Lighter moments like the whizzing, zipping, euphoric arpeggios of Peverlist’s ‘Feel Something’ are offset by guttural moody bass, travelling from the club convergence of rattles and tings and brightly resonating metals on Bohdi’s ‘Bellcurve’ to the heavy rotating bass of J. Sparrow’s ‘L33T SP33K’, with slippery dub lasers echoing out.

“Here's me mixing live on CDJs for an hour, bringing you the sound of my sets right now, also bringing in some current and classic Tectonic tracks as part of our 20-year celebrations and showcasing a few tracks from the Tectonic Sound compilation too - that's out now!” - Pinch
