ETRA - Serpentine (Original Mix)

Downplay is proud to welcome New Zealand DJ & producer MidKnight MooN to the label for his brand new single, “Live & Direct”.

Teaming up with Wellington lyricist Young Gho$t, the track is a jazz-infused 2-step roller with a laid-back summer sunshine feel that compliments the hazy, laconic bars. Perfect in any set to get the crowd percolating nicely.

London-based artist Kells delivers a prodigious remix on the digital flip, mutating the original into a bass-focused percussive bubbler that showcases the producer’s technical proficiency in all it’s inimitable glory.

Boxedjellyfish will be blowing the roof off The Newcastle Hotel on November 11th at STEEL CITY BASS II.

Boxedjellyfish is a Newcastle/Awabakal and Worimi country based DJ, who is sure to get your feet stomping and heart feeling full, delivering set showcasing the darker, heavier side of drum and bass and a strong love for prog psy.

Her love for drum and bass and psytrance started immediately after attending her first doof, which quickly evolved into her travelling around, attending as many events as possible in and around the NSW area.

After a few years she was able to finally find the genres that she wanted to work with, and after taking this step, secured her first gig in 2019.

2022 has seen Boxedjellyfish slay at the first Steel City Bass as well as make her Sydney debut at Cabin Fever Crew's Bass Ship: 31 Seconds. You'll also see her spinning some filthy tunes later this year at some yet-to-be-announced events. 👀

Welcome back to the Kinphonics Guest Mix Series, with this weeks feature artist - DKK (AUS)

"DKK has been creating some hefty (low end) waves throughout QLD & NSW over the past few years. Initially embarking on his journey through music and sound as a drummer at heart, playing in various rock and metal bands.. this, accompanied a keen ear for 90’s style hip hop/Boombap. More recent years have seen DKK delving into the deep organic lower frequencies of the Didgeridoo. Naturally, when he got behind the 1's & 2's, DKK gravitated towards the realms of Drum & Bass and 140 flavours. This journey amalgamating DKK’s intricate understanding of rhythm and percussion along with his refined resonance and relationship with the lower frequencies. Heavily influenced by his obsession for the realms lesser known and his strong connection to rhythm, DKK conducts a uniquely diverse and colourful yet deep, (and sometimes a little nasty) atmosphere on any dance floor. These frequencies have been felt throughout QLD, NSW and across the pond in Christchurch, New Zealand. Playing at some of Australia’s finest festivals such as, Elements, Tropical Bloom, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Amalgarhythmz, plus many more that will have to remain unnamed..
Recently, DKK has got on board with @DataTransmissionRadio. Streaming a monthly 2hr show on the last Saturday of every month. Showcasing his selections, some pre-releases, some freshly released material and even some DUBS, of some of the finest Drum & Bass and 140 on offer. DKK has supported some of the finest in the game - Alix Perez, Dom and Rolland, Monty, Halogenix, Kasra, Enei, Particle, Loefah, Gerry & Stone, K-Motionz, DJ Hybrid, to name a few..

This badman is guarantee to capture the minds, bodies and imaginations of all who embark on his journey through time and bass.. "
