Next up, we welcome the man Auraz to the Modūl mix series for MM002.  He's graced the Modūl 004 event with a killer performance and has been a part of the monthly back when it was originally called 'Drum & Bass Night'.  This killer mix blends through the full spectrum of drum and bass, from deep grooving halftime to gun-finger rollers.   
--------------------
Firmly believing that electronic music should be an uplifting, ethereal experience, Auraz reaches for the dubbed out, percussion filled sounds that embody Clyde Avery's "Modūl" monthly event to him.

In April 2021, Auraz fka Goldfinger created the Moving Futures Music imprint manifesting a sound distinctly inspired by Florida's landscape. Blending the sound of the soothing ocean, tropical fauna and vibrant cities into an emotional, bass heavy sonic palette with a conscious vibe.

Modūl Mix 003 comes to us from the man XMSN, who's been a fixture in the Jacksonville Drum & bass scene.   He threw down a wicked set to much praise back in April 2021 at our Drum & Bass Night event (before it was called Modūl).

Welcome to the mix XMSN.

MM003 - XMSN  [Invasive Ceremonies]

We're absolutely stoked to present Modūl Mix 004, which comes to us from the man Re:Son.  A true veteran of turntablism, wrapped into a long time love affair with hip-hop and drum and bass, Grath's style is that of true a craftsman.  Welcome to the mix Re:Son.   

----------------------------------

This is Garth- aka Re:Son

I grew up in a musical family and I started playing drums when i was about 6. My parents got me a little toy drum set for Christmas. I loved it. I wore it out. Because my parents both played in a band, there was access to a real drum set, so I started practicing pretty regularly.

As a kid in the 80s, hip hop was everywhere. A lot of the songs were sample-based, so it was real drums in the breaks. I practiced playing drums a lot by playing along to the songs with drum breaks. I had Mahogany down cold. Drum sounds in general always caught my attention. 

I started college in 1993 and clubs were starting to book more DJs and electronic acts. Seeing a DJ spin records was another immediate hook, like drums. There was also so much new music coming out, and, again, the songs with breaks were the stand outs. Faster breakbeat and then chopped-up amen breaks. More. 

And bass. Low bass. Punchy bass. Weird wobbly bass. Loud, disgruntled bass.

I had a roommate the summer of ’96 and he had turntables. I got on one day and was in immediately. Drumming really helped timing and counting measures. 

I started buying records that summer and got my own pair of 1200s not too long after. We had a solid record shop in Tallahassee (Vinyl Fever), and the guys ordering records were DJs, too, so there were some great records coming around. I played consistently in Tallahassee, FL and regionally for a while as EKO21.

I finished up school and moved to Jacksonville in '99. Me and future wife didn’t really go out a lot for a while, but I do remember seeing Roni Size and the full Represent band at Plush around 2000. Really dope show. Ask Jeff about it sometime. He was there. He seent it!

I kept buying records. Kept practicing. Started seeing the march of time moving away from vinyl, but with options. Started using Re:Son- my middle name is Reese- It’s Reese, son.

So, now I’m the old dude at the club. Fuck. But I still like spinning. And technology has made everything 1000% more dope and fun.

DnB music also seems to be going through a really dope time, too. It’s funny to see people talk about it as next big thing about to blow up.

It’s really the end result of everything.

It’s a beautiful melody that plane-crashes into the side of a mountain. It’s meticulous precision coupled with drippy soul.

The sparse. The thick. Relentless and effervescent. Absolute disgust with a spritz of lemon. Beauty. I love beats and bass. I love DnB!

MM004 - Re:Son

Modūl Mix 004 comes to us from our brother from another mother,  @illsic904.  A true hip-hop head iLLSic recently was bit by the Drum & Bass bug.  From his past time in recording studios as mix engineer to the his most recent venture to the decks, his sets weave through both DnB and hip-hop seamlessly.  Catch him at a Modūl or Invasive Ceremonies show, and you're definitely in for a killer set.  Welcome to the mix iLLSic. 

-----------------------------

What’s good!? It’s your boy, Jose, aka iLLSiC. I was born in Managua, Nicaragua and I immigrated to the United States at a young age. I lived in Jacksonville, Florida the majority of my life and Southern hip hop had a huge influence on me. 

In high school I started making beats for the homies to rap over and throughout the years taught myself the basics on a keyboard and drums. I eventually took courses to learn music theory, recording and mixing techniques. 

I was lucky enough to intern at a few recording studios and learned basic front of the house engineering for live performances. However, most of my time was spent recording and mixing in a professional studio. After the internships, I worked freelance at a few recording studios and spent 6 years working in radio broadcasting as a producer and board operator. 

In 2020 I started DJing with a couple of friends. Later that year I bought a XDJ-RX2 and I have been DJing ever since. I started with hip hop tracks but eventually got into drum and bass. So far, every DJing gig I’ve had was promoted as a drum and bass/bass music gig, so I think I’m a drum and bass DJ now. ☺

Modūl mix 006 comes to us from the turntable slayer @dj-k8-1 who graced the decks for us at Modūl003 back in October of 2021.  A true DnB Rude Girl, we're a big fan of the energy and positivity she always brings to her sets, and the scene in general.  This mix is a signature dance floor throw-down, and a perfect representation of what to expect when she's taking center stage behind the decks.  Welcome to mix DJ K8.  Big Love!

Birth of DJ K8
As a child Katie was surrounded by her singer/songwriter father’s influence. Hearing music on a daily basis it infused music in her blood. As an older child she played in band but preferred to enjoy music as a listener not creator.

At the age of 13 in 1993 her brother DJ TCORREY brought home records and two turntables and life was never the same musically. After moving home to pursue a career in music business management, Katie was soaked by a resurgence of
electronic music in her life. Still at that point satisfied with being behind the scenes Katie became a “bedroom dj”. Finally after the urging of her brothers and friends Katie spent real time inside the studio and the rest is history.

K8 has become versed in multiple genre’s of electronic music.  Flexibly playing Breakbeat, House, and Drum and Bass. K8’s true passion is in Liquid Drum and Bass. Anything with a rolling bassline, vocals, and licking hi-hat is where K8 finds her home.

Katie moved home to Orlando in April 2011 put in tireless efforts showing support and love to multiple nights being hosted across Orlando. In April of 2012 she started hosting SceneOrlando LIVE. A monthly show at Bikurri Sushi Lounge
featuring every genre of electronic music as well as local talent. Which is now held at the famous Spacebar in the Milk District of Orlando.

In 2017 K8 relocated to Michigan where she relauched Halcyon Radio at WLNS, and has since played several venues there, and made the step up to headliner. Headlining shows in Lansing, Grand Rapids, Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg as well as opening for Sam Binga and playing shows with the likes of Goldie.

Modūl mix 007 comes to us from the man, the myth, Ionz.  He's a fixture of the scene here in Jacksonville, and in the state of Florida to be perfectly honest.  He's graced the decks for us back at our first official Modūl event back in August 2021, but we've been getting down to his sets and original productions for a hot minute.  We're big fans of Ionz style on the decks and his tempo pushing can seriously get a room or festival moving at any hour.  Welcome to the mix Ionz.  

-----------------------------

Hello everyone I'm Ion Zide aka IONZ from Jacksonville, FL and I'm all about nasty bass lines and good beats. 

From a young age I grew up surrounded by music, my father was in a band that traveled all over the U.S., and he was also a guitar tech for earth, wind, and fire, and my mom listened to everything so that led me to love all style of music. 

Moving forward I got into hip hop, breaking, chopped up beats and digital sounds and that stuck till one night in high school I was at an all ages club and the dj was playing techno, like speed racer techno lol and I was like what's this. then a few weeks later someone said something about an after hours place that stayed open till morning, that's where I found house music. I ended up meeting and hanging with the DJ’s and it really drew me in. once I got tables I went to work, starting out with hip hop instrumentals, trip hop, and down tempo I learned how to beat match and cut, but when hanging out at after parties everyone wanted something more upbeat, that's where I hit them with the drum and bass haha. eventually I got into prog and new school UK breaks and dark prog house as a dj, but was also into experimental and IDM. now i play deep dubs, halftime, drum & bass, and tech house never steering away from them dark nasty bass lines. 

After many years I am happy to have played so many great shows and festivals and wouldn’t trade it for the world. I love music and I love playing music. I hope you enjoy the mix and thank you for letting me be apart of this.

Hi, my name is Mike aka Reflections and I am a native of northeast Florida. Some of my longtime friends will remember when I went by 'teh Cynic' (yes, "the" is intentionally misspelled, it's an old message board thing, haha.) I've been a drum n bass fan since 1999 when an Army barracks mate took me to a rave in Atlanta. He'd already started getting me into the music, playing mixes for me by the likes of Goldie, Dieselboy, and LTJ Bukem, along with a fair bit of trance and prog house. It was that party though, my first time getting to experience the music on a large sound system, when it all began to make sense. There was house and breaks earlier in the night, and then DJ Odi came on for a two hour set and that was the moment when it all started to come together for me. Having been a jazz musician in high school, listening to mostly 90's hip hop at the same time, and growing up on good ol' rock n roll, this drum n bass music had everything for me. 

2003 is when I started collecting records and learning how to mix them. I would spend countless hours watching other DJs both at local clubs and videos on sites like dnbtv.com, carefully observing their tricks and techniques, and eventually developing my own mixing style and tastes for music. Taking cues from those early influences, I like to take listeners on a journey and show them different levels and moods, kind of like a movie soundtrack. I have a tendency to draw more B sides and obscure tracks, and the styles can range anywhere from deep liquid to dark and subliminal. Often times, the music I play for any given set is influenced by my own mood at the time, and even though I have a playlist picked out I never really know what I'm actually going to play until its time comes.

I've been honored to have played at many venues around here as well as neighboring cities like Gainesville, Ocala and Orlando over the past twenty years. When I was invited to play for Clyde Avery's Drum N Bass Night, which later became what we now know as Modūl, I knew it was something special and that I had to bring the A game. I hope this mix also lives up to that expectation and I think you'll find that the variety of tunes is a good match for the Modūl aesthetic. Happy listening to you all, and I look forward to seeing you again soon at one of the regular DnB events happening around town.

Modūl Mix 009 come to us from Florida Native, hailing from Jacksonville, Eric Akers aka ‘Glad It’s Night’. Eric's been a fixture of the electronic music scene for longer than he hasn’t. His moniker is inspired by an André 3000 verse featured in UGK’s ‘International Players’ Anthem.’ The verse states “I’m so like a pimp, I’m glad it’s night, so the light from the sun does not burn me on my bum.’ His pasty complexion and affinity for the nightlife are fitting of his brand. With deep roots in house, techno, break beats, booty bass, hip-hop, R&B, drum n’ bass, trap, halftime, 160 bpm, and everything grimy … he has an obvious taste for the underground sound. Modūl is proud to host this up-and-coming artist’s debut mix. We look forward to the future with much anticipation as we watch our pasty & sleep-deprived friend as he ignites the dance floor with his soulful technique. IDK about you, but we’re Glad It’s Night!
