The Connect - Drum & Bass Set

Hey Gang! 

Been practicing for a couple of years now and I still don't always get it right but it's so much fun playing around with the early 2000 D&B stuff. It's difficult to get the leveling right and not everything works but it gives me such a sense of nostalgia. Would love to master this era on a vinyl set up!

I'm always learning and love advice from the pros pumping out content on this channel weekly, so if anybody has any tips, I'm all ears in the comments! 

Let me know what you all think, and a massive thanks to everyone who likes, listens and shares.

Shadbolt (Adam Shadbolt) grew up in Suffolk, England, listening to his parents influence in music, from Motown to Dance and Electro. His first set of decks were bought for him by his mum, which fuelled his passion for music.
During his late teens he, alongside several mates, produced the bass group, Paranoid Breaks. Since then he has ventured into his solo artist career, specifically focusing on genres of Liquid and Neuro Drum and Bass.

A little about me…
Born in 1989 in Portsmouth, I found drum and bass in the late 90’s and picked up my first budget vinyl decks (numark) in the early 2000’s. Unlike most, I wasn’t driven by the dream of playing live in front of thousands of people. Part of that comes down to my weakness for chasing perfection. For me, mixing was a private hobby that I was very passionate about and Drum and Bass spoke to me like no other music. I mixed privately or for friends for many years under another DJ name, and around 2007 I began to follow the trend of transitioning into digital.

Once I moved over to digital (virtual dj at the time) I wanted to start pushing myself onto 3 & 4 deck mixes. Unfortunately finances were still an issue so I had to make the best of what I had. I set up 4 computers (1 computer for each deck due to low grade hardware), 2 mixers linked together and 2 sets of headphones. I reprogrammed keyboards to act as the pitch and bends on each computer. I mixed like this for quite a few years until around 2014, juggling headphones and mixers to create 4 deck mixes. It was overly complicated but it did however fast track my skills in multitasking. Unfortunately around 2014 life took over, work, kids etc and I stepped away from my beloved hobby (although I never stopped listening to drum and bass religiously)

Around 10 years passed before I decided to come back to it. Still on a budget, I picked up the Traktor Kontrol S4 and a copy of Traktor, and that’s where I am today.

Now under a new DJ name with all new social accounts, I’m started from the ground up but with a lot of experience behind me. The name Renaissance is a French name for rebirth, and as my surname is technically French it felt fitting for my new venture.

In terms of my mixing style, I’m known for mixing a huge variety of dnb in my mixes. I don’t like to be confined to sub genres or time periods, so I will find a way to cover the whole of drum and bass in my mixes. 

There’s a lot more to come for sure..

Hi. I'm Nima and my artistic name is " Don.Schwan ". I started my education to learn how to compose music in 2007. My first official instrumental track was released by a label in 2018, and in 2019 'My friend' helped me to attract some EDM listeners. Some years later I decided to write my own projects and sing on them, which I believe that they weren't really bad. In 2020, I was able to make some other listeners curious about my combined style of Iranian native instruments. It was 2021 and I went on a path to find my real character in music. Hence, " Don.Schwan " was born.
