Front Left Life w/ Sam Purcell - March 2022

This week's Resident Advisor Exchange was recorded in January, live from Southbank Centre in London. Shortly before their Royal Festival Hall performance with The Outlook Orchestra, drum & bass and jungle originators Fabio & Grooverider sat down with Heléna Star to talk about the show. As you can hear from the applause and roars of laughter throughout the recording, the audience was besotted.
The UK dance music scene would look very different without Fabio & Grooverider's contributions over the last few decades. Coming from pirate radio, where they first teamed up in 1987 on Phase One, the duo would go on to carve out the path for drum & bass and jungle, as well as to influence the trajectories of house, techno and breakbeat. Grooverider captures their legacy best when he says: "We are this music."
Launched in 2017, The Outlook Orchestra has collaborated with other pioneering artists like David Rodigan and Mala. The show with Fabio & Grooverider, which they will perform again at Outlook Festival in June, saw 30 years of drum & bass history packed into 31 tracks.
In conversation with Heléna Star, Fabio & Grooverider discussed how the show came together, as well as their staying power in the scene, the legacy of their seminal club night Rage, how drum & bass is still growing and how humour is a vital part of their relationship. Fittingly, they also cracked a lot of jokes.

Next up in the Sorted Series we have a mix from Denver's Padideh Aghanoury, aka   @wngdu recorded from their set at Sorted 15 back in September! Since Padi is also a writer, we decided we'd have them write up some words about the set. 

"This set was one I’d been putting together for close to a year. I’ve been obsessed with this sound for a very long time but rarely find myself in settings in which jittery, dubby, wormhole freaky bass music would be well-suited, let alone warmly received. Yet when the lovely Veronica and Wally of Sorted invited me to join the bill with Bruce, Lee Gamble and GILA, I knew this sound was exactly what I wanted to explore. Not only is the Sorted crew a rare example of truly boundary-pushing curation and embracing of the weirder corners of dance music, so is their audience, so a massive thank you to all who came out and danced. 

This was easily one of my favorite sets that I’ve played in 2022. I am so honored to have been asked to play a Sorted party — a party series I have been a fan of for years — and beyond stoked to have my set featured on the Sorted mix series. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the Sorted crew for their unwavering dedication to bringing some of the most unique acts in the world to Denver and their benevolent support of all artists, small and large, that bask in the fringes of electronic music. Denver wouldn’t be the same without y’all." ~xoxo wngdu
