THE ANXIOUS - UNRELEASED 005 /| COL

Were here for a good time not a long time


Hi, thanx for checking out my profile. I just got back into mixing after a 10 year break. My house got broken into 10 years ago and they took pretty much all of my vinyl records and couldn't afford to replace them so I sorta stopped it. But I recently bought a Traktor Kontroller S5 and 2 Technics 1200 MK5G Turn Tables and it has reignited my dream and passion for mixing. All of my mixing and recordings are done on my 1200's and S5. I can mix pretty much any genre of electronica but my passion and heart lie with Techno, Acid Techno, and Drum & Bass. The dirtier the better. None of my mates are into or like what I play but I don't care. Also the town I live in doesn't have any venues or following for the beatz I play. They just don't know good music when they hear it lol. That's what I reckon anyway lol. Nothing beats a nice dirty bassline or beat. The dirtier the better and I love underground. I recently lost my job so are trying to pick up some gig's. I have heaps more mixes and dirty banging underground tracks but can't afford to upgrade my profile to upload anymore sets. Any feedback would be great. I always try my hardest to please. Reprazent!!! Scooba Steve signing out. P.s. I like my music like my cars. Fast and loud. I am a self confessed boost and bassline junkie, an oldschool rocker, always up for a good party and bangin tunes.

The Anxious are Mark Anxious and Chrissi Blackout, who have been producing under this name since 1998. They are a Leeds based act who make electronic music released on Blackout Audio & other labels. Their sound is characteristically dark and uncompromising, with a musical message that many have imitated, but failed to deliver. They burst onto the techno scene with a series of punishing releases on some of the worlds top electronic labels of the time, as well as their own Blackout Audio imprint.

Classic’s such as ‘Beginning Of The End’ and ‘Visions Of A Motion’ on Planet Rhythm and Compound, soon meant that these two soon caught the attention of many of the leading techno jocks such as Dave Clarke, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin and of course Joey Beltram.

Their music defined the sound of techno music at the turn of the millenium, leading to countless demands worldwide for them to produce a live experience to match their breath-taking release schedule. In 2005 they performed a ground breaking live appearance at the leading global techno event, the legendary Circuito in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the recording of which is still talked about today.

In 2006 and 2007 they released music on Chris Liebing’s Audio label as well as joining forces with Arms and Audio Assault records to release a series of blistering EP’s that again featured high on the playlists of DJ’s such as Dave Clarke, DJ Rush and dark techno favorite Bas Mooy.

2008 saw a slow down in their release schedule, as the sound of techno music moved into new territories that they did not wish to become a part of. Refusing to follow the trends of the day, they instigated a three-year studio lock-down, to reshape a sound that takes dark, electronic mind-music to a whole new generation. The results are out now, with an even stronger message. A more defined sound. It’s up to you to find it.
