Mix: Quexotic Cover For Ben & Lex
Drum & Bass and Oldskool Special!
live on NSB 7th Jun 2010

Ali Mobius had been rolling some tasty dnb on the show before this one, so I decided to carry on in that vein.
Kicking off with the kind of laidback progressive dnb that I touted on my mix Chilliquid Drum’n’Bliss, then getting tougher, glitchier, more psychedelic and neurofunked, before the time machine circuits kicked in and we pay a visit to some absolutely classic mid-90s dnb, jungle, and then further back to the sound of the underground that first got me dancing, early 90s oldskool breakbeat hardcore. Bring the noise!

live on NSB 5th Jun 2010
with guest mix by DJ Peaceful

This week I turned over most of the show to a guest mix from Peaceful (this colour in the tracklist), who hails from over the pond in Charlotte NC, and what a great mix it is too, full of quality tunes and building nicely from progressive to tougher breaks. Don’t forget to check out Peaceful’s Soundcloud for more from him. After that, I round off the show with a fistful of fat promos.

I’m always on the lookout for guests btw so if you think you can spin your way into my heart and onto my show, send me a mix! See the contact page for how to get in touch.

live on PsyMusic 20th Apr 2010

Sorry for the delay on this one… took a while to sort out the tracklist! Plenty of chunky progressive in effect, along with psybreaks, melodic dark electro and more, and closed out with some lush chilled beats. This one going out to Mike. Next show: 18th May 2010 – ooh, that’s tomorrow! 🙂

Just listening back to this one and frankly, even by my standards, it’s absolutely chock-a-block with awesome tunes, including a load of top-notch promos and unsigned tunes. Psybreaks and progressive breaks all the way this week, with just a cheeky little tangent into techno. There’s a couple of glitches in the recording unfortunately due to broadband flaking out (my only major peeve with darkice is that if it loses the network for too long, it messes up the spool to disk too… there’s no need! I’m changing over to butt soon so hopefully that won’t have the same problem…

Mix: Quexotic Cover for Ben & Lex
live on NSB 5th Apr 2010

Jumped on for a last-minute cover of the Beats & Bobz show for Ben & Lex. In deference to those legends of the Deep South West breaks scene, I aimed to replicate their show’s typical genre distribution (or my impression of it, anyway): roughly 65% breaks, 35% techno, and 110% megarave! There the similarities probably end… well, I just can’t do the West Country accent, moi lover 😉

Yep, I’m afraid it’s another four-hour double-Quex feature! I can’t help myself… I had kinda hoped that the extension might happen this week, because otherwise I’d have had to make very, very difficult choices as to which of the massive pile of superlative new tracks making my hard disk groan and wheeze under the sheer weight of their super-heavy dopeness, would be selected to be played straight away; and which would be sent back down into the dungeon in tears after learning that, through no fault or inadequacy of their own, but just because it happened to be a bumper couple of weeks for decent releases, and the DJ had caught a bit of Bank Holiday Fever and gone somewhat manic with his Crate, they must wait another fortnight, or pray for a cover slot to bring them out of the darkness sooner…

Lots of wicked promos this week… I didn’t even get through all the ones I wanted to play, so more to come next week! Same deal with the new releases – I bought so many killer tracks that I was still burning them onto CD long until about halfway through the show, as I wanted to get as many as possible in.

Big love to everyone who squeezed into the Hobbit for my set on Saturday; the place was heaving and it looked like everyone was enjoying it as much as me which is what it’s all about 😀 See you next time!

Anyway here’s my NSB show from last week… bring the breaks!
