KONGKAST number 120 is here! And we couldn’t be happier to have this mix!

The unmistakable sound of TUNNIDGE (Deep Medi, Origin Audio, ChestPlate /UK).

Tunnidge has established him self as one of the heavyweight of the Dubstep scene. For those who knows, Geddeon/Face Melt remains a classic 12″ that will batter the best of sound systems and leave the dance floor well and truly slain.
With releases on Deep Medi Musik, Boka and forthcoming ChestPlate (7 Breaths b/w Fear), and one of Kongkretebass’ favorite release of “Lights/Ding Ding” produced alongside Cyrus on their Origin Audio imprint, Tunnidge has established him self as the purveyor of deep, dark, sub-driven beats.

Many thanks, Tunnidge for this awesome deep and heavy weight dubstep mix for KONGKAST – Asia’s drum n bass and dubstep podcast.

*** Please Note*** Due to the amount of Dubplates being dropped in the mix, we have had to go “advert-crazy” over some parts… we apologise for any inconvenience caused – we’re sure you’ll enjoy this mix none-the-less.

Now listen in and check out what’s new and wicked.

About Tunnidge:

Purveyor of deep, dark, sub-driven beats, Tunnidge has quickly forged a reputation as a heavyweight of the Dubstep scene. Possessing a murky, cavernous sound as equally hypnotic as it is enlivening he has consistently produced quality progressive music since his first release. And what a first release: still rinsed by the biggest DJ’s in the scene, Geddeon/Face Melt remains a classic 12″ that will batter the best of sound systems and leave the dance floor well and truly slain.

What’s more, it’s testament to Tunnidge’s production prowess that this debut came on Mala’s Deep Medi Musik imprint, widely acknowledged as a seminal label and one known for its exemplar releases. Stripping the sound back to its key components of bass and beats, Tunnidge produces a purist’s sound: sub-bass that can be felt from head to toe, alongside a carefully-crafted snare that makes you flinch every time it rings out across the dance floor.

Indeed, such is the strength of his sonic identity that a Tunnidge tune is instantly recognisable, with characteristic snares, intelligent use of samples and unmistakeable control over bass line melodies. A perfect example of this, and a highlight of Tunnidge’s production repertoire, is Higher Forces’ (released on established underground label Boka Records), a tune fit for a cold, dank dungeon, with haunting echoic vocals and a relentless, mesmerising kick drum.

When in collaboration with producers of a similar stature and style the results have been blistering; The Lights/Ding Ding 12″ produced alongside Cyrus and released on their Origin Audio imprint – a new label set up to support producers still making challenging, sub-low beats – was a top seller in Blackmarket Records, one of the leading bass music shops in the UK, a week after its release. Collaborations with Distance have been fruitful too with the evil, ball and chain sounds of ëBlameí currently receiving heavy play on Rinse FM and other stations dedicated to the best in UK bass music.

Perhaps indicative of his ever growing list of achievements, two Tunnidge tunes, “7 Breaths” and “Fear”, are to make up the much anticipated next Chestplate 12″ which marks the first time another producer other than the label’s owner, Distance, has featured on the popular imprint. With his abilities as a DJ to match his skills in the studio, Tunnidge has consistently torn down the biggest dances in Dubstep (such as DMZ and Exodus) armed with a slew of exclusive dubs and devastating precision behind the decks. An uncompromising progressive within the scene, Tunnidge is certainly one to keep an eye on.
