Mechanix Live Sets

amen brother

Back in April, I had the honor of warming up the dancefloor for the legendary LTJ Bukem at Smartbar Chicago. I played for 3 hours, running through some chill, liquid funk, jazzy numbers before ending on a high note with a lil footwork/rave/jungle flavor. Here's the last 80 minutes of my set for your listening pleasure!

Hue Jazz live at Mechanix

Getting their start in a Wisconsin town with an almost nonexistent Drum and Bass scene, Hue Jazz has been working to spread the music they love. Their sets are normally done on three turntables and include the full spectrum of DnB sound, with an emphasis on unique and modern productions. The two members, Chris and Evan, met at Army basic training; since then, their friendship and musical tastes have grown and evolved into the hard-hitting sound their sets are known for. They made their festival debut in 2016 at Sonic Fusion and have opened for artists such as Downlink, Dieselboy, The Prototypes, Herobust, and DJ Swamp.

Come get a piece of that #AZZ.

Metalheadz Podcast 52 - Lenzman Feat. T.R.A.C.

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.
