Having recently reviewed Raycord’s latest album ‘Ruban Ruban’ (read that here), a fourteen track experimentation in sound in collaboration with Steve Cloutier, we were taken aback by his lush soundscapes, beautiful melodies and mellow trip hop beats. So much so that we asked him to do a guest mix for us. Over 35 minutes he [...]
If you haven’t already checked out Flexout Audio, I strongly suggest you do. Run by Lincoln based producer/DJ duo, Retraflex (Tom and Stephen), the label has been gaining momentum since its first release of July last year. Things are looking exciting over the next 12 months. Here I catch up with Tom from Retraflex to [...]
Interview and introduction by Victoria Freeth With his debut released on an album that DJ Mag named their 2011 compilation of the year, Benny ‘Bringa’ Griffin has proved he’s got talent. ‘Cemetery’, produced with fellow Brightoner Foreign Concept, for me, encapsulates the deep and dark sound Shogun Audio has made for itself. I caught up [...]
Andy Skopes started his foray into the d&b industry as a DJ based in Croydon and has since made his name across a wide variety of d&b styles, releasing on labels such as Inperspective and Utopia as well as running his own night. Off the back of a killer 12″ on Utopia, Reading From the [...]
Bournemouth Jungle Vet Lecta has been smashing sets at various nights around Bournemouth for a long time now, with fast paced, energetic mixing and track selection that represents for the Junglists and brings nice variety to any club he touches down in. He came through with a guest mix for us which is heavy, fast [...]
Sir Real is, quite frankly, a master of soulful d&b. Although he doesn’t produce, he’s managed to build up a following through regular mixes that he releases online through Soundcloud. They’re always high quality in every aspect from mixing to selection and arrangement, so we jumped at the chance to bag a guest mix from [...]
Living in Bournemouth is a blessing at most times, the town is seriously hot in the sense of production, overcrowded with students and locals alike all individually pushing themselves. This interview will be the first in a series, looking into our selection of young guns from the town that are over achieving. To kick things [...]
I first chatted to Bournemouth based producer Overlook around a year ago when he was interested in a slot at one of our nights, and it was also around that time that he’d just started producing. So it’s pretty mad that in just over a year behind a DAW he’s had a few tunes signed [...]
Since I came to Bournemouth for uni almost two years ago, it’s fair to say the Hip Hop scene’s been pretty quiet, with the occasional gig that always ended up half capacity. However, over the last few months a night called Bed Stuy, which has been running every wednesday for a while, has started to [...]
Broken Culture founder, Seldom, has just uploaded a brand new mix. Progressing through the more futuristic sounds in d&b, the vibe starts off airy and gets more and more gritty. Sit back with a cuppa/beer/j and enjoy! Tracklist: Triad- Tripod Data- Reconnaisance June Miller- Poison the Wall Naibu- KTX Spectrasoul- Melodies Cyantific- Empty Streets June [...]
