New Drum & Bass mix: Kongkast # 166 – feat. ARKHAM (Red Label / Hong Kong)

Kongkast is back this week with one of Hong Kong’s favorite sons in the Drum and Bass scene - ARKHAM (Red Label / Hong Kong).

One of the longest standing resident of Hong Kong’s Drum and Bass scene, Arkham was originally introduced to Jungle in the early 1990s while living in London. Having originally learnt to mix hip-hop, it was the use of speeded up breakbeats in hardcore jungle that resonated so deeply with him.

Over his 2 decade career, Arkham has played hundred of events, hosted numerous international artists and has produced countless tracks.

New Drum & Bass mix: Kongkast # 164 – feat. ANDY SKOPES (Utopia Music, Uncertified Music, Jerona Fruits, Liquid V / UK)

This week on KONGKAST, we have an exclusive mix from Andy Skopes (Utopia Music, Uncertified Music, Jerona Fruits, Liquid V / UK).

Having being introduced to his name back in 2006 by the Utopia Music label, with a release which was later made free download called “In The Raw” <Download HERE> , we familiarized ourselves with Andy’s music through out the years.
With releases such as “Jah Jah Man” on the “We Fear Change EP” on Uncertified Music (2009), as well as the “Call To Arms” featuring Mr. Joseph, but the one that really stood out is from his latest release on Utopia Music (UM006) “Distance From You / Reading By The White Lake”, which we think is truly one of the best release from 2011.

While you’re here, check out his SoundCloud for a Free Download of one of his unreleased tunes.

Many thanks to Andy Skopes for this deep and rolling Kongkast!

New DnB mix: Kongkast # 159 – feat. Lukeino (Bachelors of Science, Sublife Recordings – San Francisco)

Yes yes! Kongkast is back with a deep and rolling Drum & Bass mix with a  difference.
This week, we’re bring you 1/3 of the well known Drum&Bass trio “Bachelors Of Science” - Lukeino (Bachelors of Science, Sublife Recordings – San Francisco).

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Luke Argilla (akaLukeino) have been involved in music all his life. From guitar at the young age of 13, to the early vibrant underground Jungle and DnB scene in San Francisco.

As a solo artist Lukeino has released tracks on labels like Levitated, Rubik, as well as his own Sublife Recordings. His tuneshave been featured on BBC 1xtra, Fuel TV and even the #1 iPhone gameapp Tap Tap Revenge. Around 2007 he met up with the Bachelors ofScience and soon after started collaborating with them on tracks. A fewyears later, after many late nights, and a string of great shows, they invited Luke to be the 3rd official member of the group.

More about Lukeino below.

Many thanks to LUKEINO for this exclusive mix for us at Kongkretebass! Truly great vibes throughout this mix.

New Drum&Bass mix: Kongkast # 156 – feat. Balistics (Silk Recordings / NZ)

This week on Kongkast – We feature one one half of SILK Recordings – Balistics (Silk Recordings / NZ).

Silk Recordings consists of Matt Balistics & Jamie Forge. As the label manager, Matt Balistics is extremly passionate about the drum & bass sound & after over 8 years of djing experience, 6 of them doing a weekly radio show, he was more than happy to step up to the plate & broaden his horizons in the industry. His first involvement was with Synth Sense & Anile’s debut release on Silk Recordings, who have since become long term friends.

Having a consistant line of digital releases, Silk Recordings is soon to release its first & highly anticipated LP from Finnish producer Furi Anga. From the beginning it has been a long term aim for Silk to release music in the format both Balistics & Forge found this sound on, vinyl.

Check out this sub heavy mix from Balistics and find out more about SILK Recordings. 

Many thanks to Balistics for this exclusive mix for us at Kongkretebass!
