LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad - Essential Mix 03.24.1996

Dirtybird Radio is proud to welcome a true icon in dance music: DJ Rap.

In this session, she turns up the tempo and throws down some of her current drum 'n' bass anthems.

Dirtybird Radio 398 - DJ Rap

For our 905th RA Podcast, we're proud to welcome Goldie, one of the most famous, talented and important electronic music artists of all time. Starting out as a graffiti artist, he eventually made music under the name Rufige Kru, helping push the then-nascent genre of jungle forward with tracks like "Krisp Biscuit (Power)" and "Terminator." The latter was released under the name Metalheads, which would later become the name of his label (with a z instead of an s). Metalheadz—which he cofounded with DJ Storm and the late Kemistry—celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and remains the defining outlet of drum & bass, the genre that grew out of jungle that Goldie helped invent with records like 1995's massive crossover album Timeless (alongside countless other classics). He's a producer, DJ, actor and all-around celebrity, a huge personality in UK electronic music.

Goldie is also RA's guest curator this month, and his tenure starts with this mix. We'll have more to come starting this week—check our editor's letter later today for more information—but for now, here's a survey of drum & bass past and present from a man who helped invent the genre. With plenty of new Metalheadz material plus a healthy dose of older tracks, these two hours lay out the history of Metalheadz, drum & bass and its various subgenres, from twinkling liquid to rumbling techstep. It's the first part of a month celebrating Goldie's legacy, and we can't wait to show you the rest.

DJ Hype - 10 November 2023

Last month, with Goldie's guest curatorship of Resident Advisor, we focused on the history of one of the most important music genres and scenes to come out of the UK: drum & bass. With this RA Podcast from Kasra, we switch over to the style's cutting edge. He's probably best known for his long-running Critical Music label, whose name is instructive. You'll find some of the most essential, crucial drum & bass of the last two decades through its 20-plus year-old back catalogue.

As a DJ and producer, Kasra embodies everything great about Critical and its approach: drum & bass with flair and personality, forward-thinking while staying true to the roots of the sound. The kind of music he plays is wide-ranging, but it usually leans towards the tight and minimalist. The basslines stop and start like stuck engines, drums hit with the mechanical precision of a Swiss-made watch, the MCs move with a tactical flow. Kasra's RA Podcast is a blend of new and old cuts from the likes of Skeptical, Halogenix, Break and the boundary-breaking Ivy Lab, plus a few cuts from the man himself.

Favorite Quote:
"Never work for other people in what you do. Always remember, that the reason that you initially started working was that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest it some way, you would understand more about yourself and how you coexist with the rest of society..."
- David Bowie

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
DJ’s; Listen to the crowd, but ultimately play what you want. You are getting booked for a reason, let them know what sets you apart from the rest.  
Producers; Don’t feel defined by a genre. Stay creative, try new ideas , sounds and tempos.

Daisychain 307 - Danky

@nia-archives is a jungle sensation. Since exploding onto the scene just two-and-a-half years ago, she’s won multiple awards, become a festival headliner, and racked up millions of plays with a deeply personal take on the genre that also pays homage to its Black pioneers. 

Life’s not always been easy, and she’s had to become hyper-independent to survive and progress, but now she’s rewriting her story.  For DJ Mag's December 2023 cover interview, Christine Ochefu learns about Nia’s upbringing, her love for everything ’90s, and how she’s creating space for young Black women to thrive in electronic music
