LiT MiX x BOOTYBASSDJs BRISTOL

🍑  LiT MIX series :: Full Collection :: 🍑

LiT MIX 027 is a dynamic rollercoaster of a drum & bass set from DJ Bungzo of Bristol’s BootybassDJs crew. With a real ear for melody and momentum for the derriere, we love how they bounce us between dancehall-infused modern jungle and soulful/r’n’b-flavoured footwork. 

We're also stoked to announce this mix kicks off an ongoing LiT MIX showcase of Bristol’s vibrant multi-genre DJ squad the BootyBassDJs. With members representing for greater cultural inclusion within the spectrum of gender, race and sexuality; while playing booty-shaking sounds of all genres, pace and sensibility, the crew is stacked with tastemaking party-starter selectors Bungzo, Ngaio, Hannza, Devolicious, Adibah, Boz, Xylo & Fabienne. If you’re lucky enough to catch this crew throw down live, do not miss the infectious energy and incredible music! 

We are honoured now during Pride month (which we celebrate all year) to feature this wicked dnb set from Bungzo who is such a fierce advocate for stronger LGBTQ+ involvement and respect in the drum and bass community specifically. Yes selecta! There is such strong tension and release in this set, it really feels like a soundtrack for the summer of dancing together again.

LightTwerkerz Mix Series

LiT MIX 027 :: BUNGZO ::

Our 2nd featured Lit Mix from Bristol’s BootybassDJs is by Hannza, who has woven a wickedly-paced 90 minutes with heavyweight bangers from dancehall and hip hop to house and drum and bass. Laced with cheeky edits and mixes of rap, rave, UK, afro and global bass the genres may change but the attitude remains absolutely massive throughout. 

Algorithms attempt predicting our playlist tastes, but it takes a masterful DJ to intuitively craft a set like this. The cuts are confident, and selections are seamlessly blended from M.I.A. to Missy and Aaliyah, with a bevvy of Bristol productions from the likes of Lamont, Sam Binga and DJ Die to name but a few. Nineties nostalgia meets millennium madness and 2020s future vibes and we love it!

This summer has been a suspenseful stop and go, return and retreat from dance parties during these waves of pandemic public health mandates, so count yourselves fortunate if you’ve been able to catch Hannza DJing IRL, smashing it at Lakota Bristol festival Summer of Love with Shade Cartel or with Tash LC at Lost Horizon.  

Find Hannza DJing with the @bootybassdj crew and Moylandio at the Shambala Festival “Shambino” campout in North Hamptonshire, UK the weekend of Aug 26-29, 2021

Fitting innit that we send off 2021 and welcome 2022 with LiT MiX 029 from BootyBassDJs founder Ngaio— This powerhouse creative force catalyzed our ongoing music exchange with her Bristol-based crew, which has kept us dancing all year. She is a host on Swu.fm, has released music on Durkle Disco and Archway UK, works as an inclusion consultant, is musical director of Bristol’s Bass Choir, and currently producing a Netflix documentary. Go on then!

With voice bodacious and selections outrageous, Ngaio’s LiT MiX features her original vocals and productions amidst blends on blends  that just don’t stop ramping up the energy. Her signature sound is a refined ratchet romp through the global booty shaking underground, from UK bass music to Afro-Caribbean diasporic dancefloor detonators. This mix has everything from dancehall and soca, baile funk, UKG, dnb, afrobeats, moombahton, and all manner of genre-defying mashup bangers. HNY 2022!!!

LiT MIX 029 :: NGAIO ::

There couldn’t be a more fitting selector for the first Light Twerkerz LIT MIX than the original west coast rudegyal pon the decks herself, the legendary @TankGyal. She has DJ’d the Light Twerkerz twerkshop and bruckout at Bass Coast Festival every year since the inaugural session at Merritt, British Columbia in 2013. 

Founding resident DJ and promoter of Vancouver’s longest-running dancehall weekly Ting since 2007, and core member of the mighty Lighta! Sound crew, she is true to the origins of sound system culture while tirelessly working to push the vibes forward in the present.

We’re honoured she has made the time to bless us with ***her first studio DJ mix release in over 5 years*** (!!!), and dayyum does it deliver! Most definitely channeling the full blood wolf moon lunar eclipse potency during the weekend it was recorded. 🌝~ Vibes ~ 🌝 

Check the tracklist and exclusive interview with Tank Gyal below to find your fave fire tunes from this trans-Asslantic survey of American, Afro-Caribbean and European music: over 80 tracks in just under 80 minutes of booty-shaking bedlam! 🔥🍑🔥

LiT MIX 002 :: FRUMLATER ::

We’re thrilled for our third LiT MIX to present boss gyal selecta @Mandai! Based between Vancouver and Sunshine Coast, she is legendary around the Pacific Northwest for gracing and slaying dancefloors with her smooth mixing of vocal tracks from dancehall and hip hop into deeper bass music rhythms. 

She’s a festival favourite from Oregon Eclipse, Bass Coast, and The Field; regularly rocks big rooms with her Lighta! Crew mates and coaxes intimate late night vibes at her fave east van studio party spot The Rattle. 

We’re always hyped when she gets on the decks alongside Tank Gyal at our TwerkShops, and stoked to feature her own unique style in this fine-crafted exclusive set with Light Twerkerz, bless up!

Our beloved Peruvian-Canadian Neo-Shipibo tribal trap producer has been a Light Twerkerz homie since day 0 at Da Web studio in Vancouver, DJ at countless twerkshops and full moon dances from festivals to house parties, city to forest. 

Now he's delivered this feast of flavours from dancehall to reggaeton to cumbia and afrobeat and west coast bass and trap... full of familiar hits, obscure gems and original productions, this is a truly epic mix. So dig into this hot buffet served nasty with respect from Mexico City, where Pacha Papa is currently concocting magic to unleash upon his return to Cascadia for this summer's festival season.
