New Drum&Bass mix: Kongkast # 123 – feat. Pete Rann (PeteRann Music, Strictly-Digital,GLR, LGR, Fokuz, Vibez / UK)

DOSHY
KONGKAST number 123 is here!
Pete Rann (PeteRann Music, Strictly-Digital,GLR, LGR, Fokuz, Vibez / UK)

Like so many of us, we have been listening to Drum & Bass for a number of years, and Pete Rann‘s name would have come up at some point of your Drum&Bass music adventure. As a producer, Pete Rann have had great success with release on Good Looking Records, Fokus, Vibes and Strictly Digital and now his own imprint “PeteRann Music”.

Pete Rann’s music have had a big impact on some of the liquid/melodic Drum & Bass being played in early 2000, tunes like “Everyway b/w My Love” released on Fokus and “Zero Gravity b/w Mind Fuel” released on Good Looking Records.

We are very much honoured to have this mix by Pete, as he had played a huge part in our the history of Drum &  Bass for us here at Kongkretebass.
Watch out of more release on his imprint “Pete Rann Music” - The debut entitled `The running man` was released in November 2010 and the second entitled `Run don`t walk` was released in summer 2010.

Many thanks, PETE RANN for this excellent selection for KONGKAST – Asia’s drum n bass and dubstep podcast.

New Dubstep mix: Kongkast # 122 – feat. Doshy (Robox Neotech / Germany)

DOSHY
KONGKAST number 122 is here!
Doshy (Robox Neotech / Germany) – “Try to make future-art,  not retro-art, todays retro-art are in a way wrong because this art were a view into the future at their time. Take the influences  and form it into new ideas .”

Having witness Doshy in Hong Kong for Heavy in November 2009, we were extremely impressed with his sound and selection. Playing some of the more glitch styles of dubstep, Doshy sure is an Future-Art-ist.

Being the dubstep forerunner of the up and coming Berlin scene, Doshy’s tunes are funky, massive dancefloor stompers with massive futurebass and partysounds from outerspace.

Many thanks, DOSHY for this excellent selection for KONGKAST – Asia’s drum n bass and dubstep podcast.

New mix out now! Kongkast # 118 – feat. Elemiz (Kongkretebass/ Hong Kong)

Yes yes – it’s finally here… Tropical summer and the long overdue Kongkast #118 featuring Kongkretebass’ other half – Electronic Mistress aka Elemiz!

Elemiz is the co-founder of Kongkretebass in Hong Kong and has been instrumental in nurturing the local scene with bass beats, since 2005. Whilst hosting club events presents the pleasure of meeting many inspiring artists, it was developing her own DJ skills that opened great opportunities for Elemiz. She’s been able to represent her own sound in clubs in China, Thailand and of course Hong Kong.

Getting technical has even tickled Elemiz’ interest in studio production, joining only a hand-ful of dubstep producers in the area. Her remix of Don Goliath’s track ‘Mrs U’ was released digitally in early 2009.

In March 2010, Elemiz started her latest project, the Sonic Step Sisters events, as a much-needed playground for herself and guest DJs to showcase a blend of future beats and urban sounds. In which her current tastes range from tropical percussive, Uk Funky influenced, 4/4 party tunes all the way to contemplative, sub-driven, glitched up dubstep… bare bass!

Hear for yourself – Elemiz in the mix exclusively for KONGKAST – Asia’s drum n bass and dubstep podcast.
