Live recording of my closing set for Dec 2024 Real Fluid at the Chippo hotel. Quite happy with this one, a decent journey of liquid, rollers, and everything inbetween.

No Sync was used in the making of this set

In the moment, this live show turned into a spontaneous Al Pack tribute session. I'd originally intended to play a couple of his beats, but when I typed 'Al Pack' into Serato, too many great tracks of his popped up! So I decided to go the whole hog and play Al's work for the remainder of the show. In doing so it conjured many fond memories of playing his tunes live on Bassdrive across the last 14 years.
I didn't know Al personally, but I certainly knew and loved his music. As Spim and many have said, he was the king of D&B bootlegs. Al knew Soul Music! and so he chose great Neo-Soul, R&B & Hip Hop jams to rework. But his talents went far beyond that; with his own original productions and collaborations. I chose to play many of his SoundCloud available tracks that had his name on, but I think several of his bootleg mixes may have been released under the anonymous 'Unknown Artist' moniker too - for obvious reasons. Anyway, I hope my show honours Al Pack's vibe and that my selection represents his legacy suitably.

On a personal level, yesterday's show was one of those, were I was enjoying the usual escapism of playing new tracks, but I wasn't doing much talking on the mic. Since the turn of the year, I've been experiencing SAD / blue Monday vibes. The passing of Al Pack also had an affect on my state of mind. However, I must say that mixing Al's music picked me up massively! Albeit in a bitter-sweet fashion. Again, this goes to show the therapeutic power of feeling music. It was also a privilege to share this moment with Bassdrive's listeners.
RIP Al Pack. As a D&B community, our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Mineral - We Look Back (Trident Remix)

Peter van Dongen and Ollie Outen had the most appropriate first meeting possible – they were both partying at Outlook Festival in 2014, where they crossed paths at Shogun Audio’s full stage takeover.

Sharing a mutual appreciation for the deeper side of the genre the pair started playing together as Deadline, which has by now taken them to playing support slots for the guys they once looked up to. The pair play as residents at the heads-only party Skankandbass, but that’s not their main activity: they also now regularly warm up at Shogun Audio’s parties, while Van Dongen works as part of the team helping to run Friction’s label. 

With their EC1 debut happening alongside Delta Heavy in Room One on 09/06, they fired us over a mix spanning slamming techstep through to heartfelt rollers in anticipation.

Deadline play RM1 at FABRICLIVE on 09/06: fabricldn.co/f6pgln

While Toronto has long been known for the grittier side of drum-n-bass music, the Romanian-born, classically trained Polaris brings an altogether different sound to the fore. At once melancholy and hopeful, jubilant and wistful, he has forged a musical identity that elevates drum-n-bass on a cinematic scale. After rising in the ranks of the Toronto DnB scene, he entered the global awareness in 2016 in grand fashion. His fruitful creative partnership with fellow Torontonian, Schematic, would see the release of their “NBD” on Inner City Dance, and “Please Don’t” and “Bring the Heat” on Technique Recordings, which also released his collaboration with Stranjah, “Aquarius”. Hospital Records came knocking as well, putting two Polaris tracks on their “Future Sound of Canada” EP, his goose bump-inducing stormer with Schematic, “Conduit”, and his own “The Light In Your Eyes”, which would go on to be voted one of the top ten Hospital tracks of 2016. To cap off the year, Med School included his “Found You” on their “New Blood 2016 LP”. He would link up with Schematic again on the Technique “Summer 2017” LP with “So Long”, as well as a pair of tracks in 2018, “City Life” on Inner City Dance, and “Sculpture” on Hospital’s “Sick Music 2018” LP. The label also released the majestic Polaris tune, “Blue Sky Thinking” on the “Hospitality in the Park 2018” LP, as well as two tunes for their soundtrack to the video game Forza Horizon, “Lessons Learned”, and “Empire”. Now hard at work on a solo EP, fans of lush, evocative drum-n-bass have much to anticipate in the next year and beyond.
