KONGKAST #99 – Drum n’ Bass mix feat. Proxima (Shogun LTD, Frequency, Crunch Recordings/ Netherlands )

Yes Yes! We are back with yet another heavy weight Drum and Bass mix. At Kongkretebass, we always try to deliver different flavors of Drum and Bass (and Dubstep) – and this week’s mix does just that.

Kongkast #99 brings to you one of Kongkretebass’ favorite rising young producers in the scene – The Netherland’s  Proxima (Shogun LTD, Frequency, Crunch Recordings). With releases on labels such as Shogun LTD, Frequency, Crunch, Inneractive and Renegade Recordings, Proxima’s signature beats and bass have been supported by the big names in the scene.

Since his first release on Renegade Recordings, Kongkretebass has been keeping a keen ear on his wicked productions and this time around he shows us how it’s done in the mix.

Many thanks to Proxima for this exclusive set for KONGKAST #99 (which is already on heavy rotation at the Kongkrete HQ).

KONGKAST #98 – Dubstep mix feat. DJ DRAGON (Homebass Communications, Dubway/ Bangkok, Thailand)

Dub be good to you! KONGKAST #98 features dubstep vibes from Bangkok’s DJ Dragon, Thailand’s pioneering force in drum & bass and dubstep music.

DJ Dragon alongside close friends has been instrumental in nurturing an underground electronic music scene in Bangkok since 1999. Via radio shows (Channel V/ Fat Radio, and currently GTRonline and UB Radio), own productions and club nights, he has attracted a solid following over the years. And there’s no stopping him, as DJ Dragon’s latest popular creation DUBWAY, Bangkok’s monthly dubstep themed night, recently celebrated its 1st year on the scene! Dragon’s blog website is a good read for new and reviews on that.

For now, check out his dubplate filled selection exclusively mixed for KONGKAST #98. Thanks & Kudos from us to DJ Dragon and the Bangkok massive.

Original Jungle Sound of Hong Kong
@ Ivan The Kozak
/w special guests Djs Fat Demon and Arkham from the legendary White Label crew

The guys of White Label are probably the only 2 still active DJs of the original crews involved in introducing the sound of Jungle and Drum & Bass to Hong Kong in the late 1990s.
They have been spreading the bassline vibes in Hong Kong since these days. With their only recently defunct White Label monthly at music bar Yumla they have been keeping the sound steady on the clubbing radar throught the first years of the new century.
