HANNAH WANTS // ROOTS // JUNE 2014

I’ve been meaning to make this mix for a really long time and whilst I know it won’t be to everybody’s taste, I wanted to showcase some of my favourites tracks from when I first began DJ’ing way back in 2002! I wanted to be able to show people where my love for music started and where for me, it all began.

You may or may not know that when I first started buying vinyl’s and learning to DJ I fell in love with Speed Garage, Bassline House, Funky House and UK Garage - a music genre/scene that dominated Birmingham (my hometown) at the time. 

I started out with some not-so-tight Numark belt drive decks and slowly began teaching myself the art of DJ’ing. When I say slowly, I mean slowly... For a short time I wasn’t even aware that I had to adjust tempo’s to mix a track and it’s safe to say my first couple of weeks practising didn’t sound too great! Fast forward twelve or so years, I’m now living my dream as a DJ! 

I had SO much fun making this mix. It was both an amazing trip down memory lane and a pleasant surprise to realise that I sometimes drop a few tracks in my set now that I played allllllll those years ago! 

I have absolutely no idea if this type of music was being played in your city/scene, wherever that may be around the world, however it’d be interesting to know... What I do know is that these Speed Garage / Bassline vibes were massive in the likes of Birmingham (UK) and Sheffield (UK) in the early 2000’s - if you were a part of the scene back in the day, you need no introduction! 

This two-hour mix consists of 31 tracks that range in release year from 1996 to 2005. These 120 minutes are my ROOTS...

Hybrid Theory - Showa

Yorkshire bass-junkie Billy Kenny continues ruthlessly with his epic work rate, this time dropping a duo of raw, grimey house beats via the ever-growing Four40 Records.

Following on from the Forgive Me EP recently released on Nu Wave, Billy is already a name firmly planted in the mind and sets of notable DJs far and wide.

Work shows off further Billys awesome ability to build tension in his music – this time storming into a huge wall of contorted bass – seemingly taking influence from bassline house and 4x4 of old. 

Early support from the likes of Skream, Zinc, Tom Shorterz, Pete Graham, Kyle Watson, Hannah Wants and more!

Four40 Records Producer Pack 002: Hybrid Theory

So our residents HYBRID THEORY have dropped us this sneaky mix 

EXPERIMENT Presents Hybrid Theory Sneaky Promo Mix

The well titled 'Apocalypse' from the go has an incredibly dark vibe. War horns and tribal kicks lead the tune into an apocalyptic break and from there the production gets naughtier. Mind muddling bass lines and tribal syncopations combined with hints of the dark break samples make this a definite cop for your bag.

'Fire' truly lives up to its name. The tune is fire. Lawrence and Garett's influences within this production show. An upbeat garage rhythm is dashed with their signature bass lines carefully arranged to move the listener into another space. 

'War Cry' starts out with thoughtful pads and a hard drum pattern which pushes for the production to go to the deeper side of house. But once it kicks the the bass line and well shuffled hats make this a great closing track for their debut on Four40 Records.

Hybrid Theory - Raw Sex [P Money, MC Viper, Majestic] (KissFM Rip16.10.2014)

Hybrid Theory Ft. Trilla & Lady Leshurr - That's What It Is 

‘That’s What It Is’ is the fiery forthcoming track from Hybrid Theory featuring Trilla and Lady Leshurr. All three artists hail from Birmingham and are each known for their very distinct sounds. Each artist brings the essential component to this needed to complete this track. 

Trilla is an MC notorious for his upbeat hype tracks that have been featured in every corner of the scene. With airplays from DJ Q, Tim Westwood and Ministry of Sound’s ‘The Sound of Bassline 2’, Trilla has been recognized as one of the most influential non-London grime artist. His energy is infectious and much needed. His slick, smooth flow allows you can understand every bar and appreciate exactly what he’s saying. The reference to the Birmingham area code ‘0121’ is a clear explanation of ‘That's What It Is’, that those in the unique Birmingham scene can do it bigger and better than anywhere else. As an artist he perfectly complements Lady Leshurr’s cut-throat delivery. 

From first appearances, Lady Leshurr looks like your typical female rap artist but her fierce attitude smashes any preconceptions you might have. Since she provided the vocals on Orbital’s album Wonky, she has become the most sought after female MC/singer in the U.K. and has been dubbed as one ‘the ones to watch’. Her bars are always brutal and direct. Her most memorable line, ‘No one does it quite like this’, perfectly sums her up as an artist. Don’t think that the best rap artists come from London. From the beginning bar to her last, she has you screwing. 

When referring to the bass scene in Birmingham, the duo that always first springs to mind is Hybrid Theory. Their ability to create dance floor oriented bangers after bangers from the simple ‘wob’, has resulted in a massive releases on Four40 records, Mad Decent and regular plays on RinseFm. Before you press play, you automatically assume that this will be straight bass track but what you’re presented with is what happens when bass, trap and grime meet. The slower BPM allows for the appreciation of the lyrical talent of both Trilla and Lady Leshurr. This track is a prime example that not all of the best music originates from London.
