This week, making a much welcomed return to Kongkast after 2 years, we are delighted to have  another exclusive mix by  Sleeper and District (Chestplate Records, Osiris Music UK, Artikal / UK). 

The duo have been busy as individual artist since we had them on Kongkast in 2011, both of them have had some seriously heavy Dubstep releases on labels such as Chestplate Records, Osiris Music UK, Artikal. Their outputs and dubs are supported heavily by Distance, Mala, Youngsta, Icicle, Goth-Trad, True Tiger, VIVEK and Joe Nice and loads more. Having raised fast up the ranks, both have been busy touring across Europe, so don’t snooze if you get a chance to catch them in your city.

Check out this mix for a heavy selection of Sleeper and District as well as other producers such as Distance, Tunnidge and Thelem.

Many many thanks to Sleeper and District for taking the time and giving us this exclusive mix!

More info about SLEEPER:

Sleeper’s consistently tough beats, versatility across multiple sounds and no-nonsense soundsystem battering selections have helped cement his reputation as a perennially heavyweight producer and DJ,  delivering proper UK underground music centred around unabashed low-frequency pressure. From turning heads with his earliest Rinse FM aired dubstep productions, to his current work with some of the scene’s leading labels and artists, Alex has never stood still; raising the sonic bar with each release, exploring new tempos, building resoundingly fresh sounds ranging from taut halfstep dread minimalism to pulsing low-end heavy techno and the hybridised technoid variants in-between.

With numerous releases of irrepressibly dark, nuerofunk-flecked firepower out on Chestplate and Osiris Music, he is an integral part of both seminal imprints and is heavily backed by the legendary DJ Distance and Kryptic Minds, including the first 12” of an on-going collaborative project dropping recently with the Osiris owners. Further work has featured on J:Kenzo’s excellent Artikal Music, as well as reaching large audiences on Get Darker, Tempa and Ministry of Sound compilations and through BBC 1xtra airtime. You can feel the signature Sleeper sound live and direct, anchoring the sets of big guns Mala, Youngsta, Icicle, Goth-Trad, True Tiger, VIVEK and Joe Nice, and through his own busy DJ schedule at events as far afield as Helsinki, Berlin, Istanbul, Sarajevo and Chestplate’s Fabric London residency.


More info about DISTRICT:

District has been something of a revelation in the last 18 months, a whirlwind period that has seen him develop into one of the most in demand producers within the deep Dubstep community. Having spent a couple of years carefully refining his production techniques, Dan got in touch with DJ Distance and along with his fellow Coventry producer and collaborator Sleeper, they quickly saw their thunderous sub-heavy rollers regularly included in Chestplate label head’s live and radio sets.

Harnessing the relentless club-shaking low frequencies, twisted reece bassline architecture and explosive energy of his signature sound, District has seen his profile grow at a staggering rate with guest appearances on the world famous Rinse.FM, GetDarker and MistaJam’s 1xtra broadcast, and his tracks finding their way into every major DJ’s record bag from the irrepressible DJ Youngsta, to scene legends Skream and Benga on their Radio 1 show.

His debut 12” in 2011 featured two premium examples of District’s talent on the buttons, Haymaker and 3.5 grams, and was released by Distance on his mighty Chestplate Records imprint, to be followed up in early 2012 with the widely acclaimed bass savagery of the Terraformed EP with Sleeper. Both records are vital additions to a seminal back catalogue bristling with classics, and have fuelled excitement for future instalments of Dan’s dark creative vision.

Evolution and progression are the hallmarks of any leading producer, and something District takes seriously as he continues to contort his menacing nuerofunk influenced track aesthetics over varying styles and rhythmical structures. His bookings have increased exponentially, with a busy DJ schedule delivering sets packed with exclusives at events and festivals all over Europe, and it looks to be another dominant year for District and the Chestplate collective.
