KONGKAST#69 – new podcast episode

It’s been a busy week at Kongkretebass HQ, with our Annual Charity event coming up, we’re gearing up for yet another annual dnb shakedown! ***WATCH THIS SPACE***

DJ Wash is back in the hot seat with new tunes from the Shogun camp (Big up to that awesome label for their fine music!), a few tunes from the latest Chase and Status album on Ram recordings, bits from the Metalheadz Platinum Series (absolute killer album). We throw in a few older bits in there to keep things ‘roller’ as always. And lastly, a couple of dancefloor dubstep tunes to end the day.

Attention, we’re inviting all DJs to contribute their mixsets for KONGKAST, please contact us on email.
We’re going to start hosting more dubstep mixes as well, so keep your ears/eyes peeled…

The Heavy crew has been pushing a variety of filthy bass-heavy sounds in Hong Kong for a few years now – tirelessly. They are also responsible for unleashing the Bass Monster & Dubstep Forward party series earlier this year, by braving the odds and playing a sound previously widely unknown to this city. The latest addition to their roster is N1D – dubstep producer & DJ from the neighbouring casino city, Macau.

This week’s podcast episode KONGKAST #68 is a dubstep special mixed by N1D. Check it out & keep your ears peeled for some locally produced dubz throughout the mix!
