More info about BRAD PITCH :

Brad Pitch is a producer and DJ from Dresden, Germany. While growing up in the 80s, Brad Pitch is heavily influenced by Hip Hop culture, inspired by the movie “Beat Street”. With his first set of Technics, and the guidance of DJ “Studio 17″, he started out spinning hip hop beats in the mid 90s. A few years, Brad Pitch ventured into producing first own tracks on a Tascam-multi-track recorder. Much later in 2005, he continued experimenting with hip hop beats and mash-ups, until he discovered Dubstep, UK Garage, Trap and Juke.
Since then, he has had a number of house and bass releases on digital label “Moose Records” based in Dresden. And in the second half of 2013, saw a Footwork / Juke collaboration release with studio partner “Wash” called “Brooklyn Ride EP” on American electronica label “Muti Music”.
His venture into bass music also gave Brad Pitch an opportunity in starting a night called “Trap the System” which concentrates heavily on Trap and new Bass music.

After djing for a couple of years around Europe he made a name for himself with his musical, oldschool/jungle influenced tunes which were played by some of Germany’s big dogs including Bassface Sascha, E.decay & Mad Vibez.
Working with people like Mad Vibez, The Green Man, Syncopix & MTC Yaw with whom he released “High Spirit” under their synonym “I.S.S” (MTC Yaw & Amaning) in 2003, he soon caught the attention of international Dj’s like Ink, Loxy & Flight (1 xtra) who invited him and TGM for a guest mix in 2003.

Amaning then joined forces with J-Cut and Canoma and formed AJC. Immediately gathering the attention of Clayton from Renegade UK who signed ‘Sticks & Stones’ and ‘What u like’ for a Renegade Release at the beginning of 2005.
Amaning´s versatile sound is difficult to categorize as it crosses many boundaries within the Drum + Bass spectrum. Amaning draws strong musical influences from the greats such as Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Quincy Jones, giving his music a certain soulful touch while maintaining a commanding dancefloor character.

Over the years Amaning has cemented his place in the scene with a string of bangers on labels like Soul:R, Formation, Soundtrax or Metalheadz to name but a few. An undoubted high point came when his collaboration with longtime acquaintance Loxy entitled “Spear of Destiny” was included on the “Winter in America” EP on the
legendary Metalheadz Label.

Many thanks to AMANING for this exclusive mix!

More info about PHIL TANGENT:

The few years have been an exciting time for Phil Tangent to say the least. Thanks to Bailey, Billie’s Smile, produced in 2009 received numerous plays on BBC 1Xtra. Due to the positive feedback, Bailey brought the track to the attention of Marcus Intalex culminating in Phil’s first release on Soul:R and propelling him firmly into the Drum & Bass scene.

The 12” received great support from respected DJ’s and producers alike; Klute, Lenzman, Doc Scott, DJ Hype, Fabio, Random Movement, Presha, A Sides and DJ Lee to name a few, not forgetting the aforementioned Bailey and Marcus Intalex.

Phil attributes his parents’ record collection to the development of his musical style, growing up listening to a melting pot of genres including soul, reggae and world music. However, it was to be on his journeys to school listening to his Sony Walkman where he would find his true musical calling and the vehicle for where all his influences could be melded together as one.

Through listening to early LTJ Bukem mix tapes, he discovered Drum and Bass was the versatile arena where he could combine everything he loved about music and the way it could take you to another place.

Aside from production, Phil’s undeniable obsession with djing continues into its 15th year. Phil has been fortunate enough to fulfil a lifelong dream playing Fabric’s Room 2 for Marcus’ 21 Album launch in 2011 and playing at Soul:ution at Sun & Bass (Sardinia, Italy) in the same year.

Having released on such an influential label as Soul:R, Phil is steadily building on his initial success. The future is yet to be written, but is set to be a busy one as he goes from strength to strength.

Kongkast 216 featuring: Semper-Fi (Foreigndub / Aus) – A former Toronto (Canada) native and now Sydney resident made his way to Australia in 1998 bringing along a battered drum kit, some killer ragga jungle vinyl, rave inflicted tinnitus and a Music Engineering School degree.

A regular face in the Sydney DJ circuit, Semper-Fi can be seen performing at nights including Basscode, Blueprint, DNBBQ, Void, his own infrequent Jungle Genius nights and numerous raves over the years.

DJ Semper-Fi returns with his second track from the upcoming Shock Doctrine EP on Foreigndub. Teaming up with MC Rayjah45 (Sweet Az Soundsystem, Kakhand, The Nomad), ‘Champion’ busts out a rough n’ready dancehall / reggae / drum’n’bass hybrid. It’s the second of a series of tracks Semper-Fi is releasing in the coming months, following on from the first single ‘Shock Doctrine’ and setting the stage for upcoming releases with The Herd’s Ozi Batla and Kye of Budspells.

DLR is a familiar name in the Drum & Bass scene. From the recent few years, he has been releasing along side one of our past Kongkast guest – Octane, but since 2013,  sees J DLR step up to his solo career, and he is stepping up in a big way.

Straight off the back of his album last year with Octane ‘Method… in the Madness’ which was in the list of top 5 albums of the year, with seminal track ‘Set up the Set’ making it into Noisia’s Top 10 for 2013 as well as endless airplay on Radio 1. He has begun this year in a dramatic way announcing a solo stance with impending releases on Metalheadz, Dispatch, Prolix’s Trendkill Records, and the prolific Break’s imprint; Symmetry Recordings, and a remix from Spectrasoul’s recent album nearing on Shogun Audio. As a taster of what is to come make your way carefully to his Facebook page where you will find ‘EXP’, which is a lavish, juicy, and exclusive FREE taster of what is to come in this rampant year of solo madness!
