The Drum & Bass Review Show

First mentioned back in November & discussed live on our UK Bass Radio show, it’s now time for the new old.

Ever since my first radio show, I’ve been the biggest nerd you could possibly know. Logging, cataloguing, noting & researching the tunes I’ve added to my collection. Each year, I’ve treated you to the Annual DnB Review & those shows were not just a summary of the year passed. They were just the beginning. The Drum & Bass Review show will breathe new life into playing old tunes.

This is not merely going to be an excuse to become an ‘old skool’ DJ. This will grow to become the ultimate Drum & Bass Reference Show. We will focus entire shows on everything from a single artist or label right through to skimming the A-Z’s so that we will not forget producers or labels that simply haven’t got a full shows worth of material. We’ll be checking out remixes & comparing non-DnB tracks with the DnB versions. I’ll be dropping mix sessions so we can just enjoy pure music as well as taking a dip into sub genres & dub plates to see what has shaped the sounds of Drum & Bass.

Tune in to UK Bass Radio from Sunday 2nd May 2010 from 7pm for there new one hour format.

Meanwhile, back onto the annual reviews, I have been discussing this torch with Bobby Flex & J-Skeptik of the Codename:Headz crew. Check back later in the year for more on this class act.

Then, after this & each week we’ll be going back 1 year at a time before, each week, another year is looked at & then come March time, a single show spanning the decade from 2000 to 2009.

Beyond these shows there is something very special on the horizon.

Have a Merry Christmas & enjoy the ride.

R.I.P. DJ Rayden from Kool FM Midlands

I bumped into Rayden a few months ago in Birmingham City Centre after around 7 years not catching up. The same big smile & the same sound guy I remembered from all those years ago. Today I’m told that we have sadly lost good friend Dave Clark. I seriously cannot believe the people we lose sometimes. Not happy!

Our love & thoughts go out to Daves family & friends.

I have started a forum at UK Bass which links to a thread started here.

8 O’Clock Specials

Aside

It was a good point. Mentioned here in October 2008. With so much music, how can we expect to keep track of it? Remember it? Look back on it?

We all have tunes that we hear for the first time in years. Sometimes it’s just as we remembered, sometimes not. Either way, the tunes we’re brought up listening take us back to those years.

The 8 O’Clock Specials is a feature that has been running on the DCA show where FuZion plays a specially selected track each week. Coming 3rd May 2009 you are going to be treated to a show full of those special selected tracks.

When & where will they take you?
