Breaks mix by AntiGrav resident Red Drum aka Pete Wallis.

C&E Flipside Sessions Vol. 1

Flipside Sessions 1

Originally from Newcastle UK, DJ/Producer Red Drum has been mixing for 25 years. His love of dance music began in around '92 with early Hardcore and Jungle. His formative gigs included Newcastle’s first Drum & Bass night Steppaz 1.

Through the 00’s Pete was known mostly for playing Hard Energy and Acid Techno at various clubs, squat parties and outdoor raves throughout the North, including a memorable night DJing inside Newcastle’s iconic Tyne Bridge. He also found time to run his own night ‘Cause & Effect’ for the best part of the decade while Producing & Engineering music for various Hard Dance labels such as Shock, Mohawk/Aztec and 12 Inch Thumpers.

As he has matured and become slower and funkier, so has his music. Now based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Pete can be seen playing a mix of what he describes loosely as ‘Eclectic Electro & Acid’, anything with an electronic or techy edge that’s also funky and energetic. He draws from everything from Synthwave, Detroit Electro and Nu Disco to Breaks and Acid House, while still banging out the occasional Techno & Hard Acid set when called for.

After a 5 year hiatus on the production tip, Pete is currently building a new production studio and designing and manufacturing synthesizers for his company ‘Siam Modular’ – As soon as he’s finished sharpening his tools you can expect a live modular synth set coming in 2020.
