Deep, Minimal, Techno, Progressive and Future – That’s how we have decided to describe this mix.

This week on Kongkast, we bring to you a future thinker from Brisbane, Australia – DJ Model T.

Model T is from the origins of the most southern state of Australia – Hobart, Tasmania.  Since relocating to Brisbane, he has supported some of the most respected nights such as Rudebwoyz, Junglettes, UDP and Wax Assassins, as well as supporting international artists such as Andy C, GrooveRider, DJ Friction & SP:MC, Pendulum, ShyFX, Teebee, Goldie & MC Lowqui to name a few.

This year, Model T is relocating to Kuala Lumpur to take up studies at Monash University, also taking his deejaying career to the next level in Asia, we have no doubt this future thinker will be one of the high flyers in the S.E.A.

Many many thanks to Model T for his selection for this exclusive Kongkast mix!

Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss,… ring a bell?

With a long history and tradition in culture, Austria – the small German speaking country in the heart of Europe, has been the birthplace of many famous composers. Its capital city Vienna is regarded an important centre of musical innovation – until today as it seems!

Fast forward to the 21st century, snooping around in the Austrian Drum and Bass scene brings to light an exciting modern breed of composers, such as this week’s KONGKAST artist – production duo Dkay and Rawfull aka ILLSKILLZ.

Dkay and Rawfull started their IllSkillz project back in 2001, while being part of Vienna’s trife.life! crew. Two years later, their very own their record label ill.skillz_recordings was launched. They have produced a number of tracks for labels such as Metalheadz, Virus, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow, Sanctuary and Universal. And for 5 years now, ILLSKILLZ have also been hosting their weekly club night “Beat It” in Vienna.

Yep, Illskillz mean business. Check out the mixset they have crafted exclusively for you KONGKAST listeners! Many thanks to IllSkillz for their selections for KONGKAST #105.

Shanghai meets Hong Kong… Check out the latest remix project by Kongkretebass’ RYC (aka DJ Wash) for Shanghai based MC/Singer/Producer ChaCha.

RYC and ChaCha first met in 2008 through various performances for the Sub-Culture and Uprooted Sunshine crews in Shanghai. Chacha – who has recently featured on a release for Kode9 on the Hyberdub label – impresses with her vocal abilities as a singer/MC as well in her own music productions.

Having a chance to do a remix of one of ChaCha’s own production, RYC snapped up the idea of “Feel you” and worked his remix magic turning the track into a moody, emotion-filled dubstep roller.

RYC (DJ Wash) Dubstep Edit of “Feel You” by ChaCha (Uprooted Sunshine/Shanghai, China) featuring vocals by Olivia.

This week KONGKAST presents you an ultra special showcase mix from one of our favorite new labels – the Bristol based UTOPIA MUSIC (UK) – represented by label owner/Dj/producer MAKO.

Since our first encounter with Mako in 2006, after a smashing gig for the Hong Kong headz, Kongkretebass has become an early supporter of his music and his cause. With tunes like “In The Raw” and “Connexion” getting regular air play at our local gigs and on Kongkast, not to mention the success these tracks celebrated with airplay on BBC’s Radio One shows.

The Utopia Music label has evolved from a vision with the hugely successful Bristol club night/ charity event called ‘Utopia’, hosting the scene’s high profile deejays/producers all for a good cause.

Utopia Music’s debut in September earlier this year features Break – Natural Progression as well as Mako & AndySkopes – In The Raw (D Bridge Remix) on the flip side. With a debut release already supported by LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, Fierce, Makoto, Bailey, Loxy, Total Science, SpectraSoul, DJ Lee, Flight, Instra:mental, Survival just to name a few, Utopia Music looks promising to be making a lot of noise in the coming years! So keep your eyes peeled for more big releases from this fresh label.

Many thanks to Mako / Utopia Music (UK) for this exclusive set for KONGKAST #102. Read more about his story below.

Kongkast #101 goes deep………. Bringing you one of the most atmospheric Trio in the scene – Blu Mar Ten (Hospital, Renegade Hardware, Shogun Audio, 31 Records / UK).  Blu Mar Ten is no stranger in the Drum and Bass scene, having regular appearance at Rage, Metalheadz, Speed & AWOL, Blu Mar Ten were rapidly spotted by LTJ Bukem and signed to Good Looking Records, cementing their position in the genre as originators of complex, atmospheric music.

With their ‘Close’ and ‘Believe Me’ EPs receiving high praises from deejays across the spectrum earlier this year, Blu Mar Ten’s long-awaited first full drum & bass album “Natural History” << Release Date: 2nd November – More about the Album below>> will be one to watch and leaving you in no doubt about their position at the cutting edge of the genre.

Many thanks to Blu Mar Ten for this exclusive set for KONGKAST #101!
