Update: Sorry folks, I must have accidentally flagged this post as private when I went to add the track listing. It’s back now. - Eric/IllEffect

Aaaaaaand finally, part 3 of the show. Harry Ransom came by and delivered a delightful 2 hour set of some dubstep and breaks and all mixed up like.. well, like DJs do. I’m not usually a huge breaks fan but there are exceptions to that and Harry’s choice of breaks definite fits that exception. This is a choice mix.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get there in time to catch/record Steve Eternal’s set but following him up was this little number by Harry Ransom.

Now featuring his new and official DJ name, the man once known simply as “Ransom” is now “Harry Ransom.” Amazing.

Check back here on the site, I’m sure Harry will post a track listing with the quickness.

I have some gigs coming up, and I do not like playing to empty floors or people just standing around:

02/10/2008 at Sin @ Modern _DC - big event this night with Black Sun Empire (NL) headlining, and I am playing drum’n'bass alongside Hyx & Houston.
03/08/2008 at Meditations @ Rock & Roll Hotel _DC - drum’n'bass set, think I am opening up for two hours, with Telemetrik and Mayhem both headlining.
03/22/2008 at Expansion Broadcast Allstars @ Shorty’s _Baltimore - you see that? ALLSTARS: IllEffect, Ransom, Ricky Ricardo and Whighzeguy plus guests Eternal and Blanco. We’re starting at 130-ish BPM and ramping it up to 175+ by the end of the night.
04/03/2008 at RADAR @ Shorty’s _Baltimore - breakbeat set at Wickity and Stryder’s new breakbeat-oriented weekly.

That covers all of my upcoming bookings, at least that I know of. I will be down in Miami during the WMC, but doubt I am playing any events and probably only going to make it to one or two anyways. And this may leave some listeners wondering about the other EXBC members… where are they playing in the next month or two? Well:

02/15/2008 at Wickity! Wickity! @ Shorty’s _Baltimore - Hitoi is playing a rare Baltimore appearance.
02/20/2008 at DnB Sessions @ Five _DC - Darkenetiks & Hitoi a.k.a. Dark & Lovely will be opening up for Fabio (Creative Source / Radio One _UK). And it’s 18+ to get in now!

We will update as we get word of more bookings for the crew. Keep checking out the podcasts and coming out to the events we are playing at.

Worst post title ever!

Yes, yes. Big lineup friends. Myself and Ransom will be doing a back to back tagathon along with many others including Perpetuum. Check below for the full lineup. Btw, its free!

• Perpetuum
• Ransom b2b IllEffect
• Quannum Logic b2b Alter Ego
• Demetrios b2b Kirkout
• Phaydn
• Hosted by MC Mecha & Concept

Sure, we still have these guys playing Rock & Roll Hotel this Friday night, and then show patriarch IllEffect at Five on Wednesday the 24th, but now we have two more events we think you all should know about:

10/26 - Ransom at Buzz @ Fur: wearing the same suit that I wear to Jungle Jessie & James Jukata’s wedding earlier that night, I will be opening up for Breakage, who will be playing a 3-hour set of whatever he wants. I want to play drum’n'bass, so that’s what is played during my two hour set. Carl Cox is in the main room, and Mike & Ali are wearing costumes.

11/21 - Ransom and Darkenetiks @ Pho-Real Thanksgiving @ Five: Playing separate sets, I know I am playing classic drum’n'bass on the roof, and Mike is going to play vinyl records of some sort. Plus Matt Nordstrom and Dave Nada in the main room, and who knows who else is on this line up. The next day is Thanksgiving, so come out this night!

And in non-club event news, Renaissance Festival this past Saturday was super super fun, and next weekend a bunch of us are hitting the NoVA beer festival, which is going to be tasty.

Due to some traffic, we had to do the ol’ switch-a-roo so Harry started off the show instead of Nick.
