About DDNBC

Starting out as a Drum and Bass night series in Leipzig (Germany) with focus on mainly deep, dark, yet experimental aspects of the genre and DNB-related music such as Footwork, 160 BPM, Dark Jungle and so on, the Dark Drum&Bass Convention has become an DNB institution in the local scene with regular events, but also an independent platform for different DJs and Labels that share the same interest in this music and B2B DJ-culture.

DDNBC is all about the scene as a family and connecting. With the launch of a podcast series that does strictly feature DJs that have been playing at one of the past events already, this concept might become even more evident. As the family is growing, we are proud to already have featured artists such as Kyrist, Visionobi, ZeroZero, DLR, Hydro, War, Silent Witness, Ruffhouse, Survey, Unreal Project and LXC.

Anybody else prevented from accessing SC servers via VPN?  All of them are blocked for me.  This is the first time it happens to me in six or seven years of almost daily SoundCloud activity.  I use a VPN in SC because when I don't I get horrible delays that show up in many different ways.  The only explanation I have found is that somehow their security/identification system has flagged my IP address and introduced all kinds of speed bumps.  It makes the experience very unpleasant, irritating.

Why was Jonathan Bellot's account

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Drum and bass is, and always has been a brimming and bubbling hotpot for raw talent with new producers and DJs making waves everywhere you turn but while SoundCloud and local club nights offer an army of exciting and adept MCs it’s an incredibly rare feat that one of these melodical masters of ceremonies cements themselves as of the elite. 
 
For the over a decade the line up of lyricists at the biggest raves and well-revered label nights has stayed for the most part a carbon copy of the event before (and the one before that), however, crowd-pleaser Visionobi, honed his force and broke that glass ceiling and is now a go-to host for the scene’s biggest players Metalheadz, Shogun, Hospital, Soulvent and D&BA to name a few.
 
In 2013 Visionobi, or as his mother would call him Richard Twaites, won the Drum and Bass Arena award for Best Newcomer MC, which at the time gained him a lot of ‘man of the moment’ type tags. This momentary status has been proven wrong with his organic story of hardwork and longevity.
 
Rich started MC’ing over 20 years ago and sharpened his skills as part of a Southampton based drum and bass family which included Gerra & Stone and Joe Raygun. With the help of other musical minds, the group created a thriving local scene curating now legendary night’s Wax, Raygun Youth and Release playing host to huge headliners. Visionobi flexed his promotion skills by holding down a ‘Visionobi Presents’ residency in his hometown at London’s famous superclub Fabric and now looks to continue that legacy under the moniker “Colony” for future Visionobi Presents events.
 
Aside from establishing himself on the live circuit Visionobi also stacks up an impressive discography including releases on the mighty Metalheadz, Dispatch Recordings, Sun & Bass Recordings and Soul:vent and his Red Bull Music Swift 16 has racked up over 200,000 views/listens across social media and showcases his thought-provoking grasp of conscious lyrical content and his infectiously pulsating flow. 
 
Man of many motivations Rich is known amongst industry peers as one of the scenes good guys, hardworking, friendly and well informed which earned him the job as a radio show host on world-renowned Rinse FM for Metalheadz for over 4 years. 
 
2022 sees a monthly release schedule of music as well as the promise of an album in 2023, watch this space..
