New Dubstep mix: Kongkast # 195 – feat. The Next (Wob Wob / Hamburg, Germany)


This week, we have a guest mix by a producer we met here in Dresden. From a city called Hamburg only few hundred kilometers away, we bring you The Next (Wob Wob / Hamburg, Germany). 

TH3 NEXT grew up in East Germany, where he was heavily influenced by Hip Hop and it’s culture. Since then, his passion continued to be DJing, and after a spectacular escape from the GDR it was finally time for two turntables.

In 2000, he started to produce his own beats with an MPC2000XL, with a computer running other software completing his setup. He performed alongside various artists such as Rasco, Alies, Antipop, Consortium and Motion Man as well as supporting his friend DJ Fu (founder of the DRUMBULE Hamburg).

Heavily influenced by the emerging Dubstep and Grime scene, they, along with MC Mindfuck, decided to introduce this relatively unknown genre of music known as DUBSTEP to the people of Hamburg.

NXT LVL was then born and took place once a month at the ASTRASTUBE and a year later, they started another regular Dubstep event, called “WOBWOB!”. Together with Deneh, Yann Ignition and The Vinylizer, they have played host to many international guests including N-TYPE, TES LA ROK, SKREAM, HEADHUNTER and LUKE ENVOY.

Many thanks to THE NEXT for this Kongkast!

More info about The Next:
TH3 NEXT: Whilst growing up in East Germany, he was infected with Hip Hop after watching the movie “Beat Street”. His passion continued to be DJing, and after a spectacular escape from the GDR it was finally time for two turntables.

In 2000, 10 years after starting out, he started to produce his own beats with an MPC2000XL, with a computer running other software completing his setup. He performed alongside various artists such as Rasco, Alies, Antipop, Consortium and Motion Man as well as supporting his friend DJ Fu (founder of the DRUMBULE Hamburg) with some slick scratches during DnB sets. It was at the DRUMBULE where he got to know JNS (Phokus) who, at that time, still produced Drum & Bass. Heavily influenced by the emerging Dubstep and Grime scene, they, along with MC Mindfuck, decided to introduce this relatively unknown genre of music known as DUBSTEP to the people of Hamburg.

NXT LVL was then born and took place once a month at the ASTRASTUBE and a year later, they started another regular Dubstep event, called “WOBWOB!”. Together with Deneh, Yann Ignition and The Vinylizer, they have played host to many international guests including N-TYPE, TES LA ROK, SKREAM, HEADHUNTER and LUKE ENVOY.

More info about Brian Brainstorm:

Brian Brainstorm from Cologne, Germany is a 28 year old Jump Up Drum & Bass- producer / DJ with releases on the german labels Bassliebe, Phantom Dub Digital and Hooverbass, supported by international artists like Dub Bezerker, Shrust, Carbon, Bukez Finezt, Dirty Deeds, Ravager, Dexcell, Landing Force, Downlink, Paul Van Dyk and many more.

He started producing in 2009 and first made a lasting impression on the Bassmusic scene with a wide range of different styles on 105, 140 and 175 beats per minute. But his increasing fascination for Drum & Bass caused his decision to focus only on this genre. His tunes became more ravey and powerful and got supported by some well-known selectors. In 2012 he got signed on the biggest german labels for Jump Up DnB, Phantom Dub Digital and Hooverbass Records.
For 2013 a few releases are already confirmed on the UK labels DoubleUV & Roll The Drums Recordings, expect some big bangers aswell as some deep tunes!

Since he started spinning tunes on stage he already played his energetic and heavy Jump Up sets on the biggest local events alongside artists like Bredren, Ricky Tuff, Lost, 50 Carrot, Eddie K to name just a few.
