Well hello there, good to see you. Yes it has been a while, hasn't it? hope you're all doing well. Apologies for the radio silence, but after an extended real-life break, much needed and much enjoyed, we're happy to announce that we're back in the musical realms, first with a few new Hectic City mixtapes, and then, if all goes according to plan, a new album.

So... kicking things off is Hectic City 16 - Lucem Diem. The first part of a diptych locked around the 160/80 BPM axis, taking in beats from footwork/juke, jungle/dnb, hip-hop, dubstep, trap and a whole host of related microgenres. Since moving to Amsterdam I've been indulging deeply in the fringes of the city's club scene, avoiding the all-encompassing house / techno-oriented mainstream to find the weirder beats and tempos that lurk in the shadows, so these two mixes are very much influenced by the sounds found there, along with some excellent continually-developing global online scenes and historical genres that cover similar ground.

This part, as befits the title, is more of a "all back to mine" sun-coming-up kind of mix, a blend of cross-tempo beats with a few appropriate old-school classics scattered here and there. The second part will reflect the deep dark night before the morning after and all that that entails... Hope you enjoy, and please share if you do!

Hectic City 16 - Lucem Diem

Hello again - Following on from "Lucem Diem", as promised here's part two of this lil' 160/80bpm diptych (part one is here: https://soundcloud.com/kleptones/hectic-city-16-lucem-diem), although significantly longer than the first part, as it proved virtually impossible to edit down or leave things out - you know how it is... 

So here is the night before the morning after: "Tenebris Noctis", a 211 minute journey through 177+ quality tracks, some old, lots new, all good. Anyone that caught the last couple of years Glastonbury DJ sets will recognise quite a few choice moments contained within, for sure!

Tracklist is too long for here (4000char maximum), so go to the blog 
(http://www.kleptones.com/blog/2016/07/30/hectic-city-17-tenebris-noctis/) if you want spoilers (and on first listen you shouldn't)! There is a FLAC download link on the blog too, if you prefer a lossless listening experience.

The file's pretty big, but a quick poll on Twitter indicated that you're cool with that - apologies if you find it problematic, sure you can find something online to split it into chunks if you're that way inclined...

So... let's have it, yes?

(PS Please repost & comment if you like it so it gets to more folks! kthx)

Been wanting to do this for a while, and it seemed like it would be a daunting undertaking, but seeing as Ableton & Soundcloud have donated some extra free space on here for a few months, I thought I'd better use it, and it all seems to have turned out rather splendid indeed. Three one-hour-or-so mixes and a compendium of some of my favourite mashups, remixes, edits and general insanity, or at least the ones that I could string together in some sort of coherant order. If you've heard me DJ at any point over the Kleptones lifetime, there will be more than a few familiar things here, for sure...

So here you go, nearly three and a half hours - 70 tracks and a few uncredited inserts and nibbles. And there still wasn't room for any Drum'N'Bass, or any mellow stuff... and I tried to limit each producer and artist to one appearance only (Tried and failed as a couple are in there twice...) - guess I'll have to pick all that slack up in future mixes, won't I?

Hope you enjoy - I certainly had a ball mixing it!

(Oh and the "M3B" title? It's another Monty Python reference which fitted the concept, but proved a bit too long for the titles, so got abbreviated - sure you can figure it out if you're a fan... ;)

Hectic City 14 - M3B Part 1: A Massage From The Swedish Prime Minister

We are truly honoured today to be bringing you this one. We emailed this group years ago after hearing their monster of a mixtape, Hectic City 17, and knew we had to get them on the Footwork Jungle Exclusive Mix Series with one of their Olympic-Grade long distance Footwork Jungle mixes. This Brighton group, renown for clever mashup albums, have an ear for niche electronic blends and weigh in at a whopping 2 hours with number fourty-seven in the Footwork Jungle mix series from no other than… Kleptones.
