GUEST MIX Series 3

Bass / Club Mixes circa '21-22

Missy C has come up over the lockdown period shining through with some stinking mixes and appearances on out kitchen sessions series. “Being a DnB raver for most of my life and I have only recently started Djing, I love all sub-genres of drum and bass, but at the moment I am bang into rollers - the darker the better, which is ironic because listening these choons brightens my day.
Technically, I am still learning the craft and enjoying DJing as a hobby, but have had a few paid gigs, I have an amazing and patient tutor (who is big in the game), but one thing you cannot teach is taste and knowledge of bangers from nearly 20 years of raving.
I feel like I now have a purpose after being lost for so long, my life has become so much better since I have begun this journey and my passion for DnB has given me life again.”  I can relate heavily to this, maybe a lot of you can too, maybe you would like to start but get stuck before you’ve even given it a go, all I can say is give it a spin and you won’t look back.

Nik Aka Ghosty is in his 4th year of dentistry at Liverpool Uni. "Ive been playing out for a couple years now and have earned myself residencies for some of Liverpool’s biggest dnb brands including Rum Riddimz Run and 100th Monkey & the DNB LAB. I play a mix of jungle and rollers, drawing inspiration from late 90s jungle tape packs as well as more recent mixes.  I’ve spent a lot of time recently working on @Frontleft_dnb, my new dnb brand that aims to give local up and coming DJs a meaningful platform, where they can hone their craft. This is the first mix I’ve put out since I’ve started mixing so I wanted to include some of my favourite tunes, some of which I don’t usually get a chance to include in my normal sets. The mix includes tunes from some of my favourite labels such as Grid Recordings, Nuusic and Dread Recordings."

This week we have grassroots DJ CEL making a name for himself on the Liverpool Circuit: “I’ve always been a huge fan of dnb but I only started mixing during lockdown last March. Since then I’ve supported Inja & Voltage as well as playing and getting involved with some of Liverpool’s most popular labels like Dnblab, Front Left & One More Tune. I usually play jump up and take the inspiration from DJ’s such as Logan D, Bou & Sub Zero. I hope now I’ve started get into events that I can start growing a bigger profile.”

Your eyes are not deceiving you, this is, the first, exclusive 100% Conrad subs production mix, stuffed full of brand new, unheard dubs. 

For those of you who don't yet know of Conrad Subs (real name Adam Krolik) has been producing Drum & Bass Jungle music for over 20 years. He has gone under many names in the past: ADK, Nifty and Sulako to name a few, but after taking a small break he returned to production in 2017 under the new alias Conrad Subs and quickly established himself as a rising talent in the scene.

Early releases on labels such as Soul Deep, Inna Rhythm and DJ Hybrid’s Deep in the Jungle showcased Conrad’s diverse sound - Liquid, Jump Up, Jungle… All styles were present in his arsenal, and things quickly gained momentum. 

Fast forward a few years and Subs now has a wealth of dancefloor classics in his discography. From the massive ‘Leave Dem’, ‘Little Vibey Thing’ and ‘Bump & Grind’ on Nuusic, the irrepressible ‘Dance’ on his own MAAD TING! imprint, to a feast of dancefloor fire on Deep in the Jungle including anthems such as ‘Come Selecta’, ‘When It’s Time’, ‘Special Request’ and ‘The Rhythm’. With other releases on highly respected labels such as Symmetry, Liquid V, Program, Dread, Delta9, Soulvent, Murky and Liondub International, plus a 2019 We Love Jungle Awards nomination for Best Breakthrough Producer, there is no stopping Conrad Subs.

And we have the pleasure of relating this mix under our GM Series 3. Hit like on the playlist to stay up to date with all the brand new mixes from serious up-and-coming talent.

Since signing exclusively with Viper Recordings in April, Austria’s Dossa & Locuzzed have been enjoying some serious recognition as one of the industry’s hottest new drum and bass duos. With their debut single ‘Only Way / Electric Boogie’ released back in May on Viper’s sister label Viper VIP to tumultuous praise, the talented producers have been hitting the scene hard in 2016. Featuring on Viper’s ‘Bassrush 1.0’ album with ‘Ninja’, as well as the annual ‘Drum & Bass Summer Slammers 2016’ compilation with ‘Banana Split’, Dossa & Locuzzed have been gaining support from some of the biggest names in the industry along with fresh new remixes of NC-17’s ‘Soldiers’ and Deuce & Charger’s ‘Who Can You Trust?’. Now with their first single on the main Viper Recordings roster, Dossa & Locuzzed are back to see out the end of the summer with even more fire.

‘Dance’ sets the scene with an airy and atmospheric intro before spiralling headfirst in to a catchy beat packed full of funky synths, gritty stabs and plenty of old-school raver vibe. Adding some vocal samples and plenty of drums in to the mix, the duo has created the perfect recipe for a seriously eclectic track which is a sure-fire classic in the making.

Next up, ‘Shag’ jumps straight in with a mix of swirling synths and bouncy drums, kicking things off with a no-nonsense drop that means business. Featuring an up-tempo beat with aggressive stabs and riffs not unlike those you’d hear tearing up a jump-up dance, this first tune from the single packs a punch you’re not likely to forget.

With ‘Dance / Shag’, Dossa & Locuzzed have once again brought a diverse and varied sound to the table with their trademark mix of feel-good vibe and funky spin on classic, hard hitting Drum and Bass. Prepare to be hearing these guys’ sounds in your ears a lot more over the coming months!

If you tried to make a list of the DnB producers who've achieved the kind of success Drumsound & Bassline Smith have, you'd find yourself running out of names very quickly. Prolific output, underground credibility, rave-destructive potential, foundational innovation, even mainstream-radio appeal, they've nailed every metric. And, now, they're dropping their third artist album, and, with that reputation preceding them, we already know it's going to be a killer. If proof were needed, though, the first taste is here.

“Come With Me”, as the title suggests, pulls us in immediately. Drumsound & Bassline Smith set us up with a slow-jam bass and R&B vocal. Even as gentle Rhodes arpeggios signal laid-back vibes, though, a kick-build indicates approaching danger, and the tune drops us into beat and bassline fury.

There's a grinding mid-range timbre that's pure dirt. It cuts through the mix, underpinned by Drumsound & Bassline Smith's trademark ultra-tight and punchy rolling drums. However, this might be a dancefloor powerhouse of a tune, but it's a lot more than that. Woven through the track are suggestions of other tunes from across the eras of DnB, giving the tune a depth and timeless quality which is going to mean this isn't just a vicious deejay weapon. It is a vicious deejay weapon, sure, but it's a lot more besides.

We might have been given a clue as to where Drumsound & Bassline Smith are going with their LP. “Come With Me” is a party tune, a dancefloor smasher, there's no mistaking it. But, with it's collision of subtlety and hype, soul and aggression, it places itself as part of a narrative about DnB music and its history. If one track can do all that, the whole album might just be something monumental.
