Since the beginning of the nineties, Upzet is a fan of electronic music. At first he was attracted to Acid and Minimal Techno. 1997, at the age of 16, he discovered his all-consuming passion for drum & bass music and in 1998 he started mixing it. Since this time, DJ Upzet has been constantly motivated to perfect his mixing skills and he attaches great importance to harmony and diversity in all of his sets.

Today, Liquid Funk, Deep, Dark, Tech, Neurofunk and some Jumpup are his usual styles, but mixing Oldskool Jungle and Happybreakbeat also gives him a sense of delight. Sometimes he plays Techno, House and Minimal sets as well.
In 2001, after experiences with various artists, he started organizing drum & bass events. In 2009, Upzet moved to Berlin, where he’s still djing and where he promotes some clubdates like “Out of Mind”, “Step higher”, “Infected”, “Lucid Dreaming” and other special events . In 2010 he founded the Berlin based Out of Mind Crew: Upzet, DJane Cyrilla, Nursa, Stone, Hardy and SolHo, also known as producer-duo Survey. 2015 is when Upzet finally stepped into the world of producing beats, he is currently working on his first set of tracks so watch this space!

More info about BRAD PITCH :

Brad Pitch is a producer and DJ from Dresden, Germany. While growing up in the 80s, Brad Pitch is heavily influenced by Hip Hop culture, inspired by the movie “Beat Street”. With his first set of Technics, and the guidance of DJ “Studio 17″, he started out spinning hip hop beats in the mid 90s. A few years, Brad Pitch ventured into producing first own tracks on a Tascam-multi-track recorder. Much later in 2005, he continued experimenting with hip hop beats and mash-ups, until he discovered Dubstep, UK Garage, Trap and Juke.
Since then, he has had a number of house and bass releases on digital label “Moose Records” based in Dresden. And in the second half of 2013, saw a Footwork / Juke collaboration release with studio partner “Wash” called “Brooklyn Ride EP” on American electronica label “Muti Music”.
His venture into bass music also gave Brad Pitch an opportunity in starting a night called “Trap the System” which concentrates heavily on Trap and new Bass music.

After djing for a couple of years around Europe he made a name for himself with his musical, oldschool/jungle influenced tunes which were played by some of Germany’s big dogs including Bassface Sascha, E.decay & Mad Vibez.
Working with people like Mad Vibez, The Green Man, Syncopix & MTC Yaw with whom he released “High Spirit” under their synonym “I.S.S” (MTC Yaw & Amaning) in 2003, he soon caught the attention of international Dj’s like Ink, Loxy & Flight (1 xtra) who invited him and TGM for a guest mix in 2003.

Amaning then joined forces with J-Cut and Canoma and formed AJC. Immediately gathering the attention of Clayton from Renegade UK who signed ‘Sticks & Stones’ and ‘What u like’ for a Renegade Release at the beginning of 2005.
Amaning´s versatile sound is difficult to categorize as it crosses many boundaries within the Drum + Bass spectrum. Amaning draws strong musical influences from the greats such as Roy Ayers, Miles Davis, and Quincy Jones, giving his music a certain soulful touch while maintaining a commanding dancefloor character.

Over the years Amaning has cemented his place in the scene with a string of bangers on labels like Soul:R, Formation, Soundtrax or Metalheadz to name but a few. An undoubted high point came when his collaboration with longtime acquaintance Loxy entitled “Spear of Destiny” was included on the “Winter in America” EP on the
legendary Metalheadz Label.

Many thanks to AMANING for this exclusive mix!
