All I Need

Nic Saelli x Fantomel x KateLinn - Dame Un Grrr (Slater VIP Extended)

Back in 2010, Gilles Peterson recorded a special Brownswood Basement show focusing on the evolution of drum & bass through the 90s and into the 00s. It was by no means a comprehensive history of the genre, but it did represent an excellent snapshot of the tunes that struck a chord with Gilles back then. 100% vinyl (and acetates), Gilles spent the best part of a day rummaging through hundreds of records and picked out around 40 then @alex-patchwork got deep in the mix. Part 1 dropped last week, and here is Part 2 that made up that show - no links, jingles or drops - just the music. We hope you enjoy it.

DJ Premier: New York Reality Check 101 (1997)

Mike Bledsoe aka IAM1 set himself apart as an entrepreneur in the electronic music industry at the early age of 18 by producing raves in Indianapolis in 1996 under the alias of New Realm Productions. In 2003, he showed himself to be a visionary by relocating to Miami, FL to not only produce trance and breakbeat events, but also to create a new artist management company dubbed UpliftAM. With notable clients such as the inventor of Miami Bass, Amos Larkins III, as well as 2LiveCrew, Nucleus, Devine&EmilyPLAY, Eclipse and many others, for several years, UpliftAM was able to uplift the careers of DJs and producers across the United States.

In 2013, Mike moved to Chicago and at first was co-creator of a trifecta group named Skygarden before breaking off to create his own house and breakbeat inspired brand which led him to stay in the home of house music, Housebroken. Since 2014, the Housebroken Events brand has made a visible dent in the scenes of Chicago and the San Francisco Bay area at beaches, bars, clubs and after-hours spaces. Mike Bledsoe has brought the Housebroken name to residencies at EXIT (Chicago), The Foundation Room at the House of Blues (Chicago), The EndUP (San Francisco), Xippo/Revolver, Lokal, Innjoy, Never Have I Ever, Barbarella/700 Larkin (San Francisco), BRIX (Oakland), and he has served as a manager/agent for the late Paul Johnson as well as for Gene Hunt and many other Housebroken affiliates throughout the past decade. 

As a teenager, Mike Bledsoe studied the cello, guitar and percussion instruments, but it wasn't until he was introduced to event production and raves that he gravitated to the turntables and began learning how to skillfully mix music together. Mike created his own rave production company early on, but did not take his own deejaying as seriously as he did uplifting others. He chose to instead observe the professionals he would hire in order to learn to hone his own craft. As a promoter and artist manager in the trance and breakbeat communities, Mike Bledsoe had the opportunity to play records in 12 states before ever moving to Chicago, but once he had found a place in the home of house music, Gene Hunt and Danny Digable convinced the Natural Selection that he should take his skills seriously and become a professional house artist and dj. Since that day, Mike has added appearances in 14 more states, multiple gigs in South Africa and Mexico, a 25 city tour in 2021 and played alongside some of the greatest names in house music history including Paul Johnson, Mark Farina, Doc Martin, Gettoblaster, Wally Callerio, Franky Boissy, Garth, a B2B with Mr. Gene Hunt himself, and even once performed a blindfolded tag team of sensory deprivation with Chicago underground maestro Mathis Mega M Rousseau!

Mike is currently residing in Chicago and working on launching a new non-profit sober events organization named The Daydream Project. He holds a DJ residency with DTLA First Sundays in Los Angeles, is the artist manager of DJ ROSE RED, and has created music with Danny Digable on Fresh & Paid Records (Denver) and Sub
Subwoofer Laboratories (Berlin).
