This week KONGKAST presents you yet another Austrian based production duo Rob and Mike aka Body & Soul (VIRUS | BREAKBEAT KAOS | VIPER | BC PRESENTS | NASCA/ Austria).

Having been dedicated to those dance floor smashing beats their audience loves them  for, but Body & Soul also keep crossing musical (and mental) borders, experimenting with different musical genres and throwing in new sounds to create something just a little different from your usual Drum & Bass anthem.

With high profile productions and remixes on BreakBeat Kaos, Viper and Virus Recordings, they soon launched their own imprint – Nasca Records – in 2008, focusing solely on Drum & Bass.

Body & Soul recently released “The Reward” in collaboration with acclaimed production outfit Camo & Krooked. Being the opening 12 Inch on the highly anticipated Viper Recordings LP- Acts Of Mad Men, “The Reward” held top positions in all relevant sales charts for several consecutive weeks. This huge success is now followed by another massive 12“ on the infamous Virus Recordings label as well as a plethora of spanking new tracks on their own imprint.

Many thanks to Body & Soul for this exclusive set for KONGKAST #104.

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!
