New Drumstep mix: Kongkast # 131 – feat. Conrank (Suicide Dub, Rankadank Records / UK)

Yes Yes! 恭喜發財!! KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!!! Happy New Year of the Rabbits!
Kongkretebass has been away from our HQ to take some well deserved break from it all in January, but we’re BACK! and we’re starting the year with a BANG!

This week on Kongkast, we’re bringing you one of the fast rising names in the drumstep world – Conrank (Suicide Dub, Rankadank Records / UK).

For those who are not familiar with the term “Drumstep”, it is basically half time Drum&Bass, with less drum hits, but usually at similar speed of a Durm&Bass Track.
But because it may have less drum hits, it’ gives the track more space, which can be similar to dubstep – hence: DrumStep.

Conrank hailed from London, currently residing in Shanghai, a dnb/drumstep producer with a fresh sound. With many years involvement in the music industry Conrank knows his onions; he was one of Europe’s top beat-boxers and had his own MTV show.

So far ConRank’s tracks have caught the ears of the likes of Nerm (BBC Radio 1) , Nike and Basher (Proximity Records) picking up various radio plays along the way.

For those who are in Hong Kong on Saturday, 12th February, you can catch Conrank presented by HEAVY Hong Kong @ Backstage Live! Supported by Kongkretebass’ DJ Wash. More information below>>

Kongkretebass News: “ELEMIZ New Mix – for playboi blog Adventskalender”

Check out the latest mix by Kongkretebass’ ELEMIZ for the website http://www.playboi.de

“Here in Germany we love traditions. During Advent time we usually get so dizzy from all the lights and sparkle, mulled wine, gingerbread, cookies and snowflakes, that besides losing our minds we also tend to lose track of time. Which sucks, because who wants to miss the 24th of December?

So somewhere, someday in time, a couple of bright elves invented  the ‘Adventskalender’. What a bloody smart idea it was. It helped everyone count the days until Christmas. Weehee, such geenious! Everyone loved it, until a couple of kids started complaining about getting painfully bored just looking at numbers every day. “Well alright then”, the bright elves thought, “we will surprise them with really cool stuff every day too”. And that is how the “Playboi Adventskalender” came to be…”
