See you next time for another killer mix in We Dont Mess About Podcast 016. Trust me, it's gonna be special.

We Dont Mess About Podcast 015 - KaNzA (Drum & Bass)

Marking the 1 year anniversary of the We Dont Mess About Podcast (which began May 26, 2014) is Episode 016 featuring more of the underplayed and underloved gems of music. Beginning with a serious vibe courtesy of artists such as Break, Klute and Blu Mar Ten, this mix hits you hard and heavy before going back in time to some of the smoother jungle sounds. As always, the WDMA podcast serves is an educational trip.

Tracklist:

1. Break - No Destiny [Commercial Suicide]
2. Klute - Learning Curve [Commercial Suicide]
3. Bad Matter & Martsman - Cold Love [Lightless]
4. Fre4knc - The Source [Samurai]
5. Blu Mar Ten - Damage [Blu Mar Ten]
6. Electrosoul System - Outer Heaven [Ketama]
7. Seba - Nightwalker [Purified Audio]
8. Intersperse - Equanimity [Looking Good]
9. ASC - Ethereal Images [Covert Operations]

Break is a legend. With 2 albums, 76 singles/EPs and countless appearances it's hard to say anything other than this man brought the beard to drum and bass. 'No Destiny' from 2005 is no exception. Deep bass through and through.
http://www.discogs.com/Break-Pression-No-Destiny/master/352599

The underplayed flip to 'Hell Hath No Fury', Klute's 'Learning Curve' is a punk take on dnb with a truly unique sound. This is one of my personal favorites. Ten points to whomever can identify the vocal sample for me!
http://www.discogs.com/Klute-Learning-Curve-Hell-Hath-No-Fury/master/433697

An extraordinarily underplayed tune from Fanu's label, Bad Matter & Martsman bring breaks like no other. It's a cheap record too! Get on it.
http://www.discogs.com/Cycom-Bad-Matter-Martsman-Petrol-Cold-Love/release/1385325

An astounding record from last year, 'The Source' by Fre4knc hasn't gotten nearly enough love. Sure as hell is hard to find these days though.
http://www.discogs.com/Fre4knc-Tellurian-EP/master/745787

Off the album 'Love is the Devil', Blu Mar Ten's track 'Damage' hasn't gotten much play despite being a banging bass-heavy tune. Well worth checking out!
http://www.discogs.com/Blu-Mar-Ten-Love-Is-The-Devil/master/379975

I've said it before, and I'll say it over and over again. Electrosoul System's 'Fish Eat Duck' album is my favorite album of any genre, any style. 'Outer Heaven' is taken directly off of it. Do yourself a favor and go listen to it cover to cover. You'll be glad you did.
http://www.discogs.com/Electrosoul-System-Fish-Eat-Duck/master/492811

Moving into jungle, Seba's vastly underknown classic 'Nightwalker' is among my favorites. Smooth drums and keys to bring you into a new realm.
http://www.discogs.com/Seba-Guidelines-EP/master/216796

Another damn good track from the lush Goodlooking era, Intersperse's 'Equanimity' demonstrates itself to be a roller not to be passed up.
http://www.discogs.com/Pariah-Intersperse-ASC-Skyline-Search-For-Life-Equanimity-Network/master/418414

The mix closes with one of ASC's earliest tunes, as well as the very first release on Covert Operations. Smooth vibes from 2000, and a damn cheap record worth picking up.
http://www.discogs.com/ASC-Ethereal-Images-Serenity/master/49559

Thanks for listening! I hope you've enjoyed it. Remember to stay on the lookout for the WDMA Podcast episode 017 in a few weeks. Your ears will be more than happy you did!

We Dont Mess About Podcast 016 - Sheep (Drum & Bass)

This time around it's a clash of tripped out tracks and breakbeats, and I'm sure it'll have a few proper gems to add to your arsenal. I was given a suggestion to do a mix along these lines during my most recent Sheepy Sundays radio show, and I couldn't pass it up. I hope you enjoy! Pure vinyl business as always.

Tracklist:

1. Binary Collective - Sin Skin II [XXX]
2. Fushara - Reaching Out [Pinecone Moonshine]
3. AnD - FVS [Samurai Horo]
4. Sam KDC - Erogenous [Samurai Red Seal]
5. Sam KDC - Navigation to Nowhere [Auxilliary]
6. Ena - Squash [Samurai Horo]

8. Graphic - Heroine (Dinky Mix) [Offshore]
9. Nic TVG - A Mouse Among Monsters (Rhythm & Noise Mix) [Pinecone Moonshine]

All tunes used in this mix were taken from vinyl, so if you're hounding after a release it's easy to find! Thanks for listening. Be sure to check back in a few weeks for WDMA Episode 18. It'll be another one you and your mind won't want to miss!

We Dont Mess About Podcast 017 - Sheep (Tripped Out 170 Music)

It's time for the WDMA Podcast 019, this week a 34 minute mix full of lush liquid vibes. As always, this mix comes with the vinyl-only Sheep guarantee and features gems from legends and newcomers alike. I hope you enjoy it!

Tracklist:

1. Klute & Calibre - Losing You [Commercial Suicide]
2. London Elektricity - Billion Dollar Gravy [Hospital]
3. Nitri - Lies (Calibre Remix) [Horizons]
4. Mr Joseph ft. Collette Warren - Rose at Your Front Door [Fizzy Beats]
5. Pixel - Broken Mirror [Expressions]
6. High Contrast - Make it Tonight [Hospital]
7. Influx Datum - Meant Love [Headquarters]
8. dBridge & Dkay - Nothing is True [Exit Vs]
9. Nero - Bitch I'm Gone [Formation]

Klute teams up with Calibre for a classic off of the album “No One's Listening Anymore”. Anyone else need more bongo rollers in their life? I know I do!
http://www.discogs.com/Klute-Calibre-Losing-You-Chariot/master/29718

'Billion Dollar Gravy' is a Hospital Records staple from the early 2000s. Strings, drums loops from real drums, and a soulful vocal make this track one for the records. It's been a long time since I last heard anyone play it though. Definitely a good one to take out for a spin!
http://www.discogs.com/London-Elektricity-Billion-Gravy-BW-Harlesden/master/99951

The smooth remix of Nitri's 'Lies' by Calibre was a track that got a decent amount of play, but was discarded as quickly as it was picked up. With keys and a smooth vocal, as well as Calibre's sense for rollers, this is one to keep playing. Big.
http://www.discogs.com/Nitri-Going-To-The-Sun-Lies-Calibre-Remix-/master/672378

Mr Joseph is a name everyone should know, but not that many people do. His release on Fizzy Beats, 'Rose at Your Front Door' really speaks volumes for the power of smooth rollers.
http://www.discogs.com/Mr-Joseph-Eveson-The-Juices-Volume-III/release/5808366

'Broken Mirror' is a track I've turned a couple people on to with the power of rolling piano lines. Released on the sublabel of Fokuz last year, this track was quickly overlooked for some of the more popular records of the time.
http://www.discogs.com/Malaky-Pixel-Falling-Broken-Mirror/release/5413051

High Contrast needs no introduction. However, many people have forgotten the power of his older records, including the flip of Mermaid Scar. 'Make it Tonight' has one hell of a powerful bassline, a pitched up vocal and crazy atmospheres. Bring it back, it definitely still stands the test of time.
http://www.discogs.com/High-Contrast-Make-It-Tonight-Mermaid-Scar/master/173053

Another crazy roller that lost its battle against time, Influx Datum's 'Meant Love' is a definitive early 2000s drum and bass track. Just thinking about the bassline gives me shivers. Dont just be content listening to this one, go out and find yourself a copy. You'll be glad you did!
http://www.discogs.com/Influx-Datum-Dayz-Of-Glory-Meant-Love/master/589423

dBridge & Dkay's 'Nothing is True' reflects their earlier styles, before the autonomic sound. This one packs a punch with a ruder bass. The flip 'Odessa' is just as good, though the plate is a bit expensive these days if I recall correctly.
http://www.discogs.com/D-Bridge-Vs-AI-D-Bridge-Vs-Dkay-Odessa-Nothing-Is-True/master/113456

In my opinion, Nero has never even come close to the masterpiece that he released on Formation. Taken from the Requiem EP, 'Bitch I'm Gone' is the definition of a roller done right. Vocals layered over the whole track, a powerful bass and energy to spare. Killer!
http://www.discogs.com/Nero-Requiem-EP/master/449494

Sheep - Sheepcast #07 September 06 2015

After a short hiatus we're back with the We Dont Mess About Podcast, Episode 020! This mix features several classics from the drum and bass world, as well as a couple newer and underappreciated gems. Including tunes from Black Rain (Omni Trio), Deep Blue, Calibre, Naibu, Cern and Vaccine, you're sure to enjoy it. All tracks taken from the crates in this vinyl only mix.

Tracklist:
1. Seba & Robert Manos - Make My Way Home [Offshore]
2. Black Rain - Uptempo (Strobe Mix) [Scale]
3. Deep Blue - Soho Code (Version X) [Offshore]
4. Calibre - Deep Orca [31R]
5. Rufige Kru - Sometimes Sad Day [Metalheadz]
6. Naibu ft. Miss Drop - Doubts [Horizons]
7. State of Mind - Ronald Reagan [State of Mind]
8. Noisia - Omissions [Vision]
9. Cern - Micromega [Renegade Hardware]
10. Vaccine - Rhyme Related [Vaccine]

The first two tracks, mashed up together, are classics out of the early 2000s. Seba's 'Make My Way Home' featuring Robert Manos features lovely vocals and breakbeatss, while 'Uptempo (Strobe Mix)' puts a toned down drumline matched with tender synths to create a rolling vibe. The album Uptempo is taken from, Black Rain's 'All Tomorrow's Food', is well worth checking out if you dig the style.
http://www.discogs.com/Seba-Make-My-Way-Home-In-The-Sun/master/440682
http://www.discogs.com/Black-Rain-All-Tomorrows-Food/release/179908

A classic on Offshore Rec, Deep Blue's 'Soho Code' continues the sparse drums matched with truly rolling basslines to give an image of the ocean flowing back and forth. It's been a long time since I've heard anyone other than Offshore Rec's label head, DJ Clever, playing this one.
http://www.discogs.com/Deep-Blue-Soho-Code-Version-X-Coral-Spirit-Remix/master/511917

Continuing the ocean vibes, Calibre's 'Deep Orca' trills piano highs and deep subs for an extraordinarily relaxing tune. Taken off of 31R's 'Future Beats, the Album' (good luck finding the vinyl) not a whole lot of people have been on this one due to its short and tight mixing.
http://www.discogs.com/Various-31-Recordings-presents-Future-Beats-The-Album/master/772913

One of my favorite tunes, 'Sometimes Sad Day' by Rufige Kru, taken from the 'Memoirs of an Afterlife LP' combines rolling bass with melancholy filled synths to create an amazing piece of art. Check it.
http://www.discogs.com/Rufige-Kru-Memoirs-Of-An-Afterlife/master/175795

Naibu is no newcomer, but many people don't know the tracks he's released outside of his reknowned albums. 'Doubts' is one of these, which adds some serious energy to the mix with his own unique style.
http://www.discogs.com/Naibu-Discrete-EP/release/2250787

State of Mind hasn't released anything on vinyl for some time, and many of their more recent tracks have fallen to the idea that the more compressed a tune is, the better. 'Ronald Reagan' stems from before this time, and is everything that late 2000's neurofunk vibe had to offer.
http://www.discogs.com/Naibu-Discrete-EP/release/2250787

Okay, Noisia's 'Omissions'. Almost every DJ in the world has got this one in their bag. Yet, no matter how many times I hear it, it still sounds so damn fresh. Deep, dark, and gritty, this one is a true masterpiece.
http://www.discogs.com/Noisia-Bad-Dreams-Omissions/release/700127

Part of the 'Limber EP' on Renegade Hardware, Cern's 'Micromega' is a tune that got overlooked in the shadow of Limber. Minimal vibes combined with eerie synths gives this tune its identity. Well worth giving another listen.
http://www.discogs.com/Maztek-Chroma-6-BTK-4-Cern-Limber-EP/release/4263048

Finishing off the mix is a new tune by Vaccine combining minimal drum and bass and serious hip hop. Released as a not-on-label white label this year, a lot of people have overlooked this one. Killer!
http://www.discogs.com/Vaccine-Rhyme-Related-Oubliette/release/7265692

Thanks for listening! Watch out for episode 21 in a few weeks, another mix featuring underplayed and underappreciated gems of all genres. Until then!

Sheep - Sheepcast #11 January 24 2016 (JUNGLE)

Welcome to the We Dont Mess About Podcast, a mix series devoted to underplayed, overlooked and forgotten gems. This week we hit the turntables to bring you a 30 minute mix of deep, dark and heavy drum and bass classics. Mixed by regular host Sheep, this is a workout session of a mix. Details below.

Tracklist: 
1. Fre4knc, MTWN & Mindmapper - Relic [Samurai]
2. Ed Rush & Optical - Lifecrisis (Origin Unknown Remix) [Virus]
3. DJ Optiv & Bulletproof - Camouflage [1210]
4. Dom & Roland - Funk Hunt [Dom and Roland]
5. Noisia, Mayhem & MC Verse - Choke [Vision]
6. Raiden - Fallin [Renegade Hardware]
7. Rawthang ft. Kari - Epilogue VIP [Black Sun Empire]
8. Break - Splash Step [Quarantine]
9. Dkay & Rawfull - Be There 4 U (Concord Dawn Remix) [Freak Recordings]

The first track has forever been eclipsed by the A side, 'Tubular'. Relic also has a unique and heavy hitting blend with tight drums with good low end. It might not be another 'Tubular', but it's still damn good. 
https://www.discogs.com/Fre4knc-Mtwn-Mindmapper-Tubular-Relic/master/746266

Ed Rush & Optical are household names in the drum and bass community, yet it's been a long long time since I've heard anyone drop this 1998 classic. Origin Unknown takes two Ed Rush & Optical tracks and combines them, reworking into a masterpiece.
https://www.discogs.com/Ed-Rush-Optical-Medicine-Lifecrisis/release/1742

Camouflage is the kind of tune that can go with almost anything. Bongos, breaks, and a rolling bass. Not much more to say here. Killer!

Funk Hunt is a track I had previously overlooked, but is one of the craziest rollers Dom & Roland have ever made.

I'm sure everyone has heard Noisia's 'Choke' before, but it's been a while since I've heard it. Heavy hitting energy that keeps this mix rolling.

Raiden's classic 'Fallin' embodies all I love about Renegade Hardware. From a bleepy synth to haunting vocals to heavy low end, this track does not disappoint.

Another track that I haven't heard for a while is Rawthang's 'Epilogue VIP'. The drums in this track are absolutely nuts, combined with another haunting vocal and this has earned its place as a classic.

Break is a man that needs no introduction. 'Splash Step' is a roller through and through, without even a breakdown to wind down the energy. Absolutely love the bassline on this. The flip seems to have eclipsed this one in terms of popularity, but despite how good Noisia's 'Diplodocus' is, Splash Step is the tune for me.

I finish up this podcast with an underknown gem I found crate digging. Concord Dawn do a great job remixing this vocal roller by Dkay and Rawfull. Well worth checking out.

That's it for this podcast. Check back in a few weeks for a guest mix from the one Mindscan, who lays down some deep dubstep. I hope you look forward to it. Until then!

We Dont Mess About Podcast 024 - Sheep (Dark Drum & Bass)

Welcome to a very special edition of the We Dont Mess About Podcast. This week we have Mindscan (https://soundcloud.com/mindscandub) taking over the controls with a deep dubstep mix that will knock your socks off! With dubstep having fallen off the charts and deep dubstep losing traction in the larger music industry, sets like these have become all too rare. Beginning with lush pads and deep bass and continuing to, well, even deeper bass, this mix is exactly what I crave from the lower BPM genres. Enough talk. Check it out for yourself. You most certainly won't be disappointed!

Tracklist:
1. Kantyze - Ex Machina
2. B1t Crunch3r - Europa
3. Nomine - Closed Doors
4. Malsum & Aiko - Sail On

A word from the artist:

“This mix really shows what I dig with D&B today; all these tracks have so much emotion! Alix Perez & Ivy Lab - Maiden and Soligen & Type 2 - Chasing Clouds have both been tunes I could listen to when life was tough. This podcast served as a mixing exercise for me, for many, many months. Had it not been for this series, I wouldn't have been able to play at all the incredible events that I was invited to in 2018! Big up retrogott and lug00ber for the invites and big up my best friend Sheep, you're the reason I'm here today!”
