In the moment, this live show turned into a spontaneous Al Pack tribute session. I'd originally intended to play a couple of his beats, but when I typed 'Al Pack' into Serato, too many great tracks of his popped up! So I decided to go the whole hog and play Al's work for the remainder of the show. In doing so it conjured many fond memories of playing his tunes live on Bassdrive across the last 14 years.
I didn't know Al personally, but I certainly knew and loved his music. As Spim and many have said, he was the king of D&B bootlegs. Al knew Soul Music! and so he chose great Neo-Soul, R&B & Hip Hop jams to rework. But his talents went far beyond that; with his own original productions and collaborations. I chose to play many of his SoundCloud available tracks that had his name on, but I think several of his bootleg mixes may have been released under the anonymous 'Unknown Artist' moniker too - for obvious reasons. Anyway, I hope my show honours Al Pack's vibe and that my selection represents his legacy suitably.

On a personal level, yesterday's show was one of those, were I was enjoying the usual escapism of playing new tracks, but I wasn't doing much talking on the mic. Since the turn of the year, I've been experiencing SAD / blue Monday vibes. The passing of Al Pack also had an affect on my state of mind. However, I must say that mixing Al's music picked me up massively! Albeit in a bitter-sweet fashion. Again, this goes to show the therapeutic power of feeling music. It was also a privilege to share this moment with Bassdrive's listeners.
RIP Al Pack. As a D&B community, our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Redeyes - Redeyes soul session (Février 2020)

Connecticut-born Jaybee was brought up listening to the diverse sounds of Jazz & Pop, with deep roots in Hip Hop, Reggae and Dance Hall. Inspired by his father (who was a radio DJ), he developed an early fascination for music videos and radio shows. At age 13, he was introduced to a pair of turntables—and with influences like KRS 1, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, and Buju—began a lifelong journey into mixing and music production.  

A few years later, he was intrigued by a friend’s techno compilation “Hit the Decks” Megamix tape series, and branched out into absorbing more electronic music genres like Breakbeats. He was introduced to jungle at his first Digital Konfusion Jungle Party with DJ ODI, who mixed two copies of “Terrorist,” which further piqued his interest on the decks. Coming from a turntablist background, he realized that it was possible to blend his Hip Hop mixing skills into Jungle music, zeroing in on his own style incorporating dope beats with tight scratches. Working closely with other prominent artists in the industry, Jaybee has been collaborating regionally with producers like Random Movement, Dave Owen, Grimm, and Sinistarr. He has played in a majority of the states and festivals like WMC; as well as overseas in Europe, including performing at the Mac II label showcase at Sun N Bass. 

Jaybee’s music has received support by the likes of DJ Randall, Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, Calibre, Grooverider, DJ Storm, dBridge, LTJ Bukem, DJ Vapour, A-Sides, PFM, Trex, Physics, and Random Movement among others.

Now residing in Virginia, Jaybee has gone from strength to strength and is a fixture in the stateside drum and bass scene. With releases on Mac II, V Recordings, Liquid V, Chronic, GoodLooking, Innerground, Rubik and many others, he’s more than established a solid foundation as a key American drum and bass producer. Blending diverse sounds seamlessly from soulful rollers with lush vocals, to heavier hitting compositions, you’re guaranteed a captivating ride full of energy that vibrates the dance floor with deep baselines every time.
