Expansion Broadcast: Drum & Bass and Dubstep Podcast

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I’m gonna be performing at Buzz this Friday. I’m gonna be on from midnight to close in the Mink room. The cover is gonna be $10 before midnight and $20 after. I don’t know if there’s gonna be any reduced list action but in the event that there is, go ahead and leave me your full name as it appears on your license either in the comments to this post or you can send me a message directly. Feel free to include all your buddies names in there as well.

Sad news indeed. There was apparently a recording issue last Friday which unfortunately means you kids will have to make do without the soothing sounds of the EXBC family gracing your ear buds this week.

But don’t start filling up the bathtub and dropping the toaster in just yet. My fine self will be back this week to host another edition of Expansion Broadcast which means: drum and bass is back! Hurrrah! I’ll even have a guest this week, DJ Malleus. And for all the drum and bass hataz out there, there will still be dubstep for the second half the show (twirls finger)… wooooooooopty doo.

Greetings friends.

I just wanted to let everyone know I’m gonna be taking a bit of time off the next few weeks. I won’t bore you with a long winded woe-is-me story but the gist of it is, I’m a busy, busy boy as of late. As I’m sure many of you know, I’m getting married in the coming months so as you can probably imagine, I got lots of other things to tackle at the moment. Thankfully, the boys up north, Whighzeguy and Ricky Ricardo, have no lives (that’s what you get for living in Baltimore) are kind enough to fill in during my brief absence. Hurray! So that being said, this week will be part one of the aptly named “Dubathon” and will continue into next week’s show as well. I should be back in business on the 23rd of May but until then, we’ll have plenty of drum and bass and/or dubstep mixes for ya.

Oh and… thanks for listening

Howdy friends! I just wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know that I will be taking the night off this evening. However, Mr. and Mrs. Jukata will be taking over the hosting slot for the drum and bass portion of the show with special guest Brian Arsenault. Whighzeguy will be handling the dubstep portion of the evening. Hurrah!

Lastly, I’d like to point everyone over to our new survey (http://www.podtrac.com/audience/start-survey.aspx?pubid=OSVAd9xANWo$&ver=short). If you could, please take a few moments to fill that out. We’d be very appreciative.

This just in from Signal (of Robot Death Squad) AKA “Bryan J”:

So, myself and fellow dj, Ricky Ricardo decided that the Bmore/DC metropolitan area needs us to inject some soul back into the dance music scene. Being Drum & Bass/Dubstep dj’s and producers, what the hell do we know, right? wrong.

We have decided to teamed up to form the soul dildo of a supergroup, The Undercovers, bringing panty dropping to a whole new level. So, here is the first mix of what hopefully could be a long series of house mixes, this one being mixed by myself.

The last tune is an original, with a vocalist I have been working with.
Enjoy the mix!

1. Rachel Claudio & Nicolas Vautier - Miscommunicate (Soul Harmonics Remix)
2. Soularis ft. Denise Johnson - Fire
3. Teddy Douglas feat. Margaret Grace - Whatcha Gonna Do
4. Blaze - Listen (Roots Vocal Mix)
5. Yass feat L.T. Brown - I’m Free
6. Balage - How Did We Get To Here (Kemal’s Main Mix)
7. Soulmagic - Soulmagic (Morten Trust 2006 Mix)
8. Julien Jabre - Swimming Places (Sebastian Ingrosso Re Edit)
9. Kid Massive & Raoul feat. Ijeoma - Island Breeze (Trentemoller Remix)
10. Bryan J. feat. Danni Rosner - Harlem (Unreleased)

So ol’ Mike Beasley asked if I could host a mix for him. It ain’t drum and bass. It ain’t dubstep. ZOMG - its house! Blasphemous you say? Yeah, you would ya jerk.

Don’t expect these random mixes too often but every now and then we’ll throw them out there for you to nibble on. Hell, I even got a clever name for them (XTRAZ!) so I gotta milk it whenever I can. I’m not going to include these mixes in the regular podcast feed so in case you’re subscribed via iTunes you’re not gonna see these badbwoys in your feed automagically simply cuz I don’t feel like dealing with a bunch of hate mail from “purists”.

But in any event, here it is in all its glory…

I gotta hand it to Whighzeguy, the man’s a planner. So in case anyone was curious just what our crazy schedule was gonna look like this Friday, here it is:

1. 7-8 PM EST: Whighzeguy (dubstep)
2. 8-9 PM EST: Ricky Ricardo (dubstep)
3. 9-10 PM EST: Bassmachine (drum and bass)
4. 10-11 PM EST: Whighzeguy (drum and bass “Liquid Classics”)

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.
