Playing in the upcoming Soul:ution hosted Room Two on Friday 23rd January the Chelmsford based drum & bass producer, LSB (aka Luke Beavon), has put together another stonker of a 60 minute mix to get everyone's palette back up to speed after the end of year break. Incorporating the sort of measured and musical music you can fully expect from a room that will also feature sets from the music man, Calibre, Marcus Intalex, Exit boss, dBridge and Manchester prodigy, Chimpo, LSB's mix builds slowly, layering tracks that really maintain an awareness and a sense of space.

Just check 'The View' (featuring Tyler Daley's vocals) from DRS' recent album on Marcus Intalex's Soul:r label for proof. LSB produced it and the sumptuous piano keys and swift clap drums have become a mainstay in d'n'b sets in the last six months.

SUNANDBASS Podcast #40, and it’s the sound of sunshine with @djpatife!

Just a few days until SUNANDBASS 2015, and what a perfect way to bring you to the Island for your yearly dose of beats, beach and bass. 

DJ Patife is a name synonymous with drum and bass and Brazil. Involved in the scene there since the 90’s, his unique take on the sound began to reach further afield after he and fellow countrymen bought us the ‘The Brasil EP’ on V Recordings in 2001. 

An exciting, fresh release coming from a new angle at the time, the EP opened the door for the Brazilian take on drum and bass to reach that little bit further, and to help spread their vibe to the world.

And now as he steps up for our Podcast, he’s delivered a brand new mix full of exclusives to once again show us how he does it! Dive in, we’ll be seeing you soon! 


SUNANDBASS Podcast #40 - DJ Patife

Today, the online music portal of Mixmag magazine published an article commemorating some of the women who have shaped and contributed to the progression of electronic music. Taking into account the state of the underground and contemporary clubbing landscape we know today, amongst the various vanguards like Donna Summer and Heather Heart were Metalheadz co-founder and the second to none selector, DJ Storm. Renowned for her a pivotal part in the formation of a subculture fuelled by warehouse raves and momentous soundsystems and her close connoisseurs and fellow Metalheadz operators, Goldie and the late DJ Kemistry, the superbly progressive strain of drum & bass and the unadulterated territories that came with that time were critical in the ever evolving electronic movement. Even now, her role in the scene today is as imperative as ever, representing a label and a sound that’s still flourishing some 25 years later. 

A week on Friday Storm will once again link with her Metalheadz crew as the label takes hold of our Room One to toast the launch of label signee Mikal's debut album. To give us a snippet of what's in store the DJ aptly dubbed ‘the first lady of drum & bass’ has graciously taken the time to pull together another of her excercises in first class selections in this brand new and exclusive promo mix.

Metalheadz DNB60 with Commix - BBC Radio 1 (October 2015)

Welcome to the 96th chapter of the Deep Electronics Podcast. This weeks set is a very special one because it's the very first time to have a Atmospheric Drum N Bass set in the series.
It's also mixed by Aural Imbalance. Very known for his deep intens and very rythmic Atmospheric Drum N Bass music.

Aural Imbalance Bio:

Aural Imbalance AKA Simon Huxtable has been writing and creating atmospheric music since
1997, creating deep emotive tracks across many electronic music genres including drum & bass
and spacey house / progressive. The key to the AI sound is deep synthesis with the focus on the
spaced out atmospherics that create a warm hypnotic feel.
The Aural Imbalance sound has spanned the globe with original tracks and remixes over various
established electronic labels including Cadence Recordings, Within Records, Lynx Recordings,
Advection Music, Greta Cottage Workshop, Secrets of the Sun Recordings, Ascendent Grooves,
Elliptical Sun Recordings, SoulRidaz, 7 Seas Records, Stasis Recordings, Cambrian Line,
OdysseyRecordings, Embarcadero Records, Adro Records and has also had tracks featured on
mixed CD’s on Global Underground.
The sound that Simon has been producing and involved with has gained support from some of
themajor players in the electronic music scene, this is both in a solo guise as Aural Imbalance
and with collaborative efforts as part of Deep Space Organisms, Monothy, Idforma and Inspired
Minds in which he has teamed up with other very talented producers. Simon is also part of a new
acoustic/ electronic band called “Out of Plato’s Cave” who with singer songwriter Rhys Davies have
a debut album “Solipsist” which came in 2013 on Greta Cottage Workshop.
The debut album project by Aural Imbalance is a deep D&B album called “Legacy” on Cadence
which is released on limited edition CD and is available exclusively via www.movementinsound.com
this is a nine track LP that is mixed together into a nice spaced out atmospheric romp into the
deeper side of drum & bass.
As a follow up to the album a remix project of the original tracks from Legacyreleased (2014),
include remixes from, The Outerworld, Orange & Blue, Tidal, Tomi Chair, Groofeo, Donald Wilborn,
Audapta, Pat Foosheen, Shane Berry, Eschaton & Nennah, PHD & Furney in addition to this there will a few surprises on the album as somevery special guests will be doing some versions of the
originals too. Also Simon has recently finished his debut album for Advection Music and this is scheduled to be
released in 2015 - 2016 again following the deeper side of D&B and House music. Other projects
will take shape in the nearfuture, a pure ambient project is in the works and this will be released
under another pseudonym thiswill be announced through the usual social media channels at the
time of completion of this newproject.
In addition to this expect new EP,s and remixes forthcoming in 2015 - 2016 as new relationships
are being forged with labels from across the globe and debuts will be made on labelslike Stasis
Recordings and Monochrome Recordings. With new albums expected in 2016 on
Movementinsound and Stasis Recordings in 2017, watch this space :-).
