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.
With a formidable reputation as a skilled DJ and producer in the local drum n’ bass, hip-hop, dubstep, reggae, dub and any other bass style currently vying for a micro-genre scene. 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. As well as supporting dub reggae legends like Sly & Robbie and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry & Mad Professor; New Zealand’s finest in Fat Freddy’s Drop and Salmonella Dub; dubstep bass-heads DJ Pinch, LD, Appleblim and Mark Pritchard, as well hip-hop cats like DJ MK (Roots Manuva) and drum n’ bass fanatics Rockwell and D-Kay among others.

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.

You can check out his track ‘Champion feat. Rayjah45’, currently a free download on Semper-Fi’s SoundCloud. The full EP is set for release on Foreigndub in early 2014.

In the late 00’s he teamed up with Philadelphia’s MC Halfcast and the pair released a self-titled EP seamlessly melding hip-hop, dancehall and drum n’ bass. Others liked what they heard leading to bass friendly remixes for Arrested Development, Western Synthetics, Astronomy Class, The Bird and 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!

It has been another great year for Kongkast, hosting exclusive mixes from some of our favourite producers, labels, and Djs such as Young Ax, Mikal, Flight, Alley Cat, Detail, Demand Recording’s Keen, to some of the upcoming names from Asia, Europe and America such as Rebearth, TASO, Brad Pitch, Brian Brainstorm, Bukez Finezt and loads more.

2013 has been one of those years where we experimented with different genres of music on our podcast, from our regular favourite Drum & Bass to some of our new found love of Juke and Footwork in the last few years. We have always displayed a full spectrum of music, but have always remained true that bass will always be the foremost important thing in our podcast.

We hope you have enjoyed the ride on Kongkast as much as we did this year, and we at Kongkretebass Kongkast wish you all a wonderful start to 2014, may all your wishes comes true, and some of the best releases and mixes to be heard in the coming year!

As always, we will be taking a small break from podcasting during the Chinese New Year period and we will be off air  for the month of February, but we will be back with more exclusive mixes starting in March 2014. But don’t forget to keep checking back after the New Year, we’re back first week of January with a massive mix to start 2014!

More info about FRANJAZZCO:

As he tends to keep things low and is not too keen on any sort of hype shit, you might not have recognized him yet – though, Franjazzco (formerly known as Franz „Jazzin“ Otto) has definitely been one of the most passionate and enthusiastic players in Vienna’s underground dance music scene within the last decade.

Franjazzco’s been doing his thing on the ones and twos since way back in 1995. Besides being a DJ, the past has also seen him as event promoter, radio host, editor and recently especially as a producer. Whilst Franjazzco covers a wide range of musical genres as a DJ, ranging from Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop to House, Techno and various styles of Bass music, he’s mostly dedicating his productions to Chicago’s sound of Juke and Footwork.

His tracks have recently been released on Disko404 records and the World Wide Juke compilations and earned massive feedback by the likes of DJ Rashad, Machinedrum, Distal, Chrissy Murderbot or RP Boo. Further releases and his own label Footwork Frenzy are about to come in the near future.
