Enjoy

Yeah that’s right in Shanghai striding along the riverfront is prohibited.
It’s a damn shame too, as it would have been a great place to ‘stride’, and by the way do you have any pets yourself?

Anyway, back again, 3 days late (again) but coming with the goods again.
No forthcoming tunes in this one, they’re all are released and available to buy if you look hard enough.

The title is as reference to the Russell Howard show on BBC 6Music, great show coming to a end this month (old podcasts still available on itunes), where will I turn to for regular radio based comedy? Any suggestion welcome, but first you should know, i've done Russell Brand and Adam & Joe both brass, so don't bother suggesting those.

Yes yes, back again and a little late (sorry) with some classics and forgottens in the drum and bass field for you, pure vinyl selection no serato in sight (though I had to have the boxed plugged in to get any sound).
It’s entitled “In the beginning there was mixing” because in a lot of the mixes, the tunes are brought in from the very beginning with no beat (stormfields) or just the sparse high hat (hold on, default Last dance, sweet dreamz, modem, stonekiller and dusted << that one ain’t that good of a mix though)
And the image, well it reminds of the early days when I started mixing, renting off the romafia in château de eltham.

Some nice tunes in here

Lets take the podcast chart thing my storm, reckon I need about 10 (that right) 10 times the current level on subscriptions within the itunes window.

Enjoy, till later.

Ez all
Every once in a while it’s nice to not have already read what’s coming up in a mix (Just like the radio) especially if you know the genre well. So for this mix the tracklisting is only going to have the track artists and even then they are only in alphabetical order.

For the catz that know their drum, should make the interesting

Boymerang
Calibre
Carlito & Addiction
Sci-Clone
Commix
Die
Fracture & Neptune
Influx UK
Klute
Krazy
Nu:tone
Nucleus
Paradox
Patife
Seba
Suv

Trust though, this mix is heavy, and great ambassador for the sound people should be associating with d’n’b. No nu-skool pendulum, no wobblefest Clipz and co. And no other noises that are detrimental to the ears. Full tracklist will be added in the comments section next week.

And yeah i know, my copy of "move on" is f**ked, i have a new one but didn't have the patience to re-record (plus was too busy playing with beats for the next episode)

Enjoy, and if you think you can post up a tracklist go ahead (It ain’t that hard)

Ohhhhhhhhh yeah, we’re (I’m) back for the 08, But as you can see lacking the creativity in naming the show. Let’s just roll with it, got some fresh business from the broadcite camp released this week, and a couple of dubs from the one of mans of the moment, the Altered Natives forthcoming at the end of January.

Some riddims to move ya feet.

There’s some heavy beatwise dnb that I need to play for ya, so maybe more dnb, but then theres the downtempo mix, some new bruk business, another hip-hop mix and many more to come.

Till next time, enjoy
I'm off to find more beats

A mix to shake down the old year and into the new, we end 2007 with a load of tunes from the mid-ninety and 4 from this year. So it’s the end of the year, I ain’t one for those best of “year just passed” mixes, because for one I ain’t got the memory to remember what even came out this year, two as I will continue to try and demonstrate with the ongoing podcasts is, there have been too many good tunes over the years to restrict a mix to just one years releases (which is actually what a lot of DJ’s do in their upfront club sets).

So you’ve the chance to brock out to some old jump-up, some atmospherics, Peshay remixes, classics and some darkside pressure

I’ve added the release years of these tunes, as some are surprising even still for me now.

Enjoy.

Well hello and welcome, firstly I would like to apologize for the lateness of this episode. I’ve been really busy with the Christmas season and all, the mix has been planned for while, but new entries have been added as I’ve discovered new tunes. Then it was the issue of the artwork, which I do try and take my time over, practicing new Photoshop techniques trying to make it pretty.

Some housey numbers, bruk flavours and everything in between.

Enjoy

So every once in a while i just getting excited about a set of tunes I've got or a theme for a mix and all day I’m thinking of the tunes and the mixes, this is one of those occasions, recorded for the interest masses.

After getting the new Quarantine Zenith CD and new masterplan CD one on innerground through, I didn't have a chance to play them much for about 3 days due to uni and work commitments, So one night after coming back from somewhere (i forgot where) as tired as i was i just thought "lets rinse the tunes", that went kind of OK and i was thinking 'right' post that up, but then the Mac crashed (yes that's right a Mac crashing, and I’ll tell you in ain't the first time)

So i tried to right down some of the tunes i played, in an attempt to recapture the vibe of that little session later on. I then recorded the mix in the morning before heading out.

The mix i bring to you now isn't the exact same tracklisting, as a little improvisation changed the order and relegated some tunes off the list. But I’m sure those tunes will make their way back at some point.

Fierce & D-Bridge - Twilight [Quarantine]
Duo Inferno - Playing game (Seba & Paradox remix) [Horizon]
Fierce, Break, D-Bridge & Nico - Galleon [Quarantine]
Alias - Cosmos [Bassbin]

Mist:i:cal - Mistical Soul ft DRS [Soul:R/Signature]

Paradox & Nucleus - Labyrinthe [Esoteric]
Paradox - Aries Maze [Oustider]

Apologies for the slight cut-out in Aries Maze, I hit the wrong the fader.
I'll play it again in all its glory soon.

Till the next time,
Peace

OK folks sorry for the delay, it would seem that this course is as tough as i remember so leaves me little time for much else, This little mix was knocked up about one week ago, since then I've got some new tunes that i wanted to add and change up the order a bit, but didn't find the time to re-record, so giving it to you raw a wide range of styles involved with this, the latest installment from the beat cave.

Till next time
Peace

Nice to have you with me again as we step into the latest offerings from the beat cave, and this time I’ve been doing some research on the listening audience, I put two shows last fortnight, according to the stats on the podomatic servers, the drum and bass one seemed be twice as popular as the broken beat one, I don’t know if that’s peoples itunes messing up and not downloading the other because it’s doing that whole “get most recent episode” thing and missing one, (in that case, people take note, you're missing one show).

But anyway. People are feeling the drum!!! So it’s time to jog the older headz memories, and school newer fans as to the history of the beautiful genre with some the top tracks (in my book) of the past gone early years. Thus the third Sunday selection and the second drum lesson was born.

I know the Clarkie, Shifty, Taylor and many others will enjoy this.

Enjoy

Hello, and welcome to the next installment of the podcast series, It’s DRUM TIME!!!!! and you know, I wouldn’t have to type all this if just forked out for a mic to say it over the actual recording, and with the first two tunes of the mix I wish I did had that mic so I could have shouted jibberish over the slipping.
Anyway, apart from the mentioned, the selection and mixing is not too shabby, but sunday afternoon, one eye on eastenders what more do you expect, I was been “Experimental”?

So after a little halt to proceedings the show is back and we are hitting it hard, and I’m very happy with this mix, a nice selection of old and new. Again in the broken beat/nu jazz arena, with some house thrown in.
You know the funny thing is when I started mixing it was with drum and bass and during that time I was saying I would never own a house record, and now I own lots, and I love it, man how opinions change over time.

Not much else to say about this, I’ll let the music do the talking.
