Here's my set from the Submerge Warehouse rave on NYE 22/2023. I played last and didn't hold back, gradually ramping the bpm up from 175 - 230. 

I'll upload the tracklist shortly. Enjoy!

NYE 22/23 Mix - DNB, JUNGLE, HARDCORE

I had the honour of opening for Delta Heavy in Brisbane last night (30.4.23). I wanted to play a set of deep dnb - highlighting both the beautiful and ugly sides of the genre, whilst at the same time gradually increasing the energy and getting the dance floor ready for the main support acts. I'm so happy with how this set went down, and genuinely love opening up a rave. I hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did making it.

SAMp3 * Opening set for Delta Heavy at The Triffid 2023. DEEP DNB, ROLLERS.

This week we welcome GU:STUFF pronounced Gustaff a 21-year-old drum and bass producer from Slovakia. 

Having founded his passion for bass music in 2016, starting out producing bassline and delved deeper and darker, upping the tempo, and has been producing DNB since 2020. 

Having played out for local promoters in clubs and bars so is no stranger to the dance and has even said he would be willing to play out in trenches or the streets if vibes were right and the crowd was tight. 

His signature sound is distorted bass and an overall dark vibe.

DNB IGNITE WELCOMES OPTIC THEORY TO THE DECKS.

(S6) GUEST MIX 131 - OPTIC THEORY

I was lucky enough to play at a cool little party in here in Thailand recently. I used my iphone to record my set. Whilst the audio quality may be off putting for some people, I always find listening back to mixes recorded with a room mic to be really charming. The chatter of the crowd, the banter behind the decks, every little DJ mistake performed and resolved, it's not perfect, but it's what happened. And listening to a recording like this will always teleport my memory to the time and place. I hope it might take you somewhere too! x

SAMp3 @ Beat Street Festival 2024

I've finally decided to release this set, which I performed at EFF 2024, almost a year late. Last year was a weird year for me, and at the time of this festival I was going through a particularly dark period. At the start of my set I struggled to relax and made some mistakes which took me a while to recover from before I managed to enjoy myself on stage. I'd put so much energy into preparing this set, when the moment came to perform it and then to make some mistakes was way more of a bummer then it should have been. Anyway. I had this copy I recorded of myself playing almost the exact same set I played at the festival in my practice recordings. I'm much happier with this version and think it's probably one of the better mixes I've made, which is annoyingly ironic. It wasn't doing much good sitting in my private folder, so now it's public for you to enjoy, or not. 

This mix is also available on youtube with some footage from the festival: https://youtu.be/PgXNzgAsDFk
