A jolly good drum & bass/dubstep radio show and podcast! Hurrah!
SONIC BOOOOOOM!
Look at this guy. Look how awesome he is. And Cami is so on his junk. You just know it.
What a ho.
Anyways, Guile made his debut at EXBC a proper one. Grab it now or else… stuff will happen. Ya know, stuff.
Harry drops the big tunes in this set. He even dropped a Sub Focus track that I’m reluctant to admit that I sweat pretty hard.
Well technically I started the show off but my mix was kinda crap so I’m just gonna pretend it never happened.
The next Focus event thrown by Upfront Industries at Five has two major MAJOR changes… well, major in my eyes. First off, this is going to be an old school event, with locals Godfather Sage, Locks and myself providing the history lesson, and from speaking to Locks and GFS, we have got 1990 through the present day covered… but we won’t be playing anything past 2002.
The second thing, and this is the kicker, Upfront decided to bring in a headliner. And not just any headliner. They’re bringing in Dj Lee (Metalheadz / Atlas, UK). Yeah, Dj Lee, no joke. This guy has been a key figure in drum’n'bass history, from his involvement with Timeless Recordings, the position he held at Vinyl Distribution (BIG TIMER) and his rank as one of the residents of Metalheadz’s Blue Note Sessions. I want to say he is playing an old school set as well, but even if he doesn’t, you do not want to miss out. Sure, I’m biased, I rate him as one of my favorite Djs, plus I was the first person to bring him to DC.
You want the details? You think you can take a night out hearing crusty classics on Five’s heavyweight sound system? Got some requests? Then check the following for the specifics:

This is big!
Since no one else posted on our blog about tonight, I figured I should. Ok, so it’s the “Felony Special,” which would have made more sense if my friend Nick stuck to his first Dj name, Treason… but no, he decided he wanted to go by Guile. You know, the Street Fighter II character that would ruin your win streak with his well timed flip kicks, and the staggered Sonic Booms.
Yeah, that guy.
But I digress. Tonight is going to be good. Unless Guile and I end up just playing the Calyx & Teebee album on repeat. Then it might just be the two of us having fun, and everyone else wondering what is going on. The usual pre-show banter can be found online on the Buzzlife forum at:

So get your forties, turn up your speakers and have a listen. And learn to spell my last name properly.
aaaaand rounding out the show I played a nice little 45 minute dealie. Not too bad for my first time in the decks in… well, forever.
This 18 year old might be new to the decks but his mixing doesn’t show it.
Jukata came through and dropped some heavyweight dubstep peppered at the end with some spicy hip hop.
I kinda dooked up the recording on this one (sorry D and Salty). I was only able to record the first 70 minutes or so of the set. But nevertheless, its a good one so get on it.
New blood, Phaydn, does that damn thing. Here’s his set from the show last Friday.
