DisasZt
Shadow & Lightning
Mainframe Recordings
Worldwide release: 20th June 2011

For those who has been tuning into KONGKAST for some time now will remember KONGKAST #_75- DJ DisasZt (Mainframe Recordings, AudioPorn/ Austria).

For those who are in Hong Kong would know that Kongkretebass’ DJ Wash have always enjoyed smashing the DisasZt tunes in the dance, and it’s no surprise we have been looking forward to DisasZt’s debut album on his own imprint – MAINFRAME RECORDINDS!

Here’s a few samples of what’s to come. Expect this to BLOW UP.



—————————————————————————————————-
DisasZt first steps as a DJ back in the mid-90s has dedicated the last 15 years of his life to furthering drum & bass in his homeland and beyond, tirelessly DJing, promoting, running the globally respected label Mainframe Recordings, discovering and pushing Camo & Krooked and, of course, producing premium quality D&B alongside some of Europe’s very best artists.

Ten years after his debut productions began to make their mark DisasZt is now ready to release his debut album – ‘Shadow & Lightning’ – on his own Mainframe imprint. Featuring 16 tracks that demonstrate the full variety of D&B in 2011, the album sees DisasZt join forces with a raft of producers from both around the world and his homeland, and acts as an impressive demonstration of both the modern health of the genre and its globe-spanning influence. New Zealand’s Trei, Hungary’s Chris SU, fellow Austrians Kos, Treo and Tenchu, and of course regular DisasZt studio partner and one-time Ram Trilogy member Shimon are just some of the collaborators onboard, bringing with them the fresh influence and inspiration needed to make ‘Shadow & Lightning’ really stand out from the crowd.
