Tim Riley, also known as Victim, hails all the way from New Zealand. Inspired by the old-school sounds of Noisia, Phace, Misanthrop, Chook, Neosignal, and the vibes of Subtitles and Renegade Hardware, this talented producer has released music on labels such as Vision, C4C, and Evolution Chamber. As he makes his UK debut at the Renegade Hardware Carnival After Party, we thought it fitting that he compiles the first of many Renegade Hardware Promo Mixes.

Renegade Hardware Promo Mix

Renegade Hardware Promo Mix - Victim

After two of my hard drives failed, I lost a tonne of my old mixes, whilst I've found most of them, there were a few that I didn't and this 'was' one of them.

I recorded this at the now defunct Melbourne institution DMC Records in Prahran back in 2006 in a Studio they had upstairs as well as a DnB mix. Breaks was massive back in Melbourne in the early to mid 2000's - every Friday night at Fractured (@ Se7en Nightclub in South Melbourne) there would be a big breaks room with lots of local guys like NuBreed making awesome tunes then you'd have a DnB sideroom. This mix is short and sweet, I recall running out of studio time.

Thanks to Luke InTheory for finding the mixes - big ups mate!!!

I toured Apex/Rob back in 2008 a few weeks after the Spor & Ewun show. He spent about a week staying with me at my place pre-post the Melbourne show and got to know each other. He was a great blokewho was honest with his situation at the time personally and musically. We kept in touch for a few years but then faded away with busy lives. I was always a fan of his music, Hench is one of my favourite D&B songs ever, bt his other tracks had funk, emotion, attitude which I still include in sets nearly 10 years later.

Admittedly there are probably hundreds of people who were closer to Rob than I was but after learning of his passing (October 2017) and having a show on that next weekend, I wanted to do a Tribue set of sorts showcasing his music which I loved as some sort of homage to him because my time with him I knew him as just a solid bloke who wrote wicked music.

So this is it, supporting the Viper Tour for The Collective @ Downtown 14/10/2017.

There are a couple of big tunes missing like Hench and Dirge but I was warming up for the main acts so couldn't go dropping that filth before they jumped on. 

Hearing The Yearning VIP close it out had me very emotional but found it very cathartic. Hopefully this can be enjoyed by fans of his - and perhaps discovered by those who didn't up until now.

RIP mate and condolences to all his close family and friends, D&B has not had a good year with tragedies like this.................
