Ac-key @Sabbath, 4th August

I unexpectedly made it down to Shinjuku for the second half of last weekend’s Sabbath, and while the crowd was very disappointing (access apparently being limited to the secret Decadance Bar staff entrance probably didn’t help) I was glad to catch a couple of great sets from Ac-key and Siki.

Obviously showing my ignorance in the video above though – I assumed at first that this was the Rx remix of Narcissistic Cannibal, while of course it’s the original. Rx’s version would have fitted in nicely too, as the rest of Ac-key’s set was another excellently mixed selection of drum and bass, dubstep and darker electro.

Jungle Corner 1

For the past week or so I’ve been back at the intelligent drum and bass, but also some classic jungle tracks from the early-mid 90s. It’s been a long while since the last drum and bass post, so here are a few of the heavier tunes that I’ve been giving a good old rinse.

The first is hardly an undiscovered gem, but Origin Unknown’s version of Johnny ’94 is easily my favourite. A fantastically dark track this, really doing justice to the original voice samples.

Harder.fi, 21st July

It seems to have been a long time since the last video from Harder.fi, so it’s nice to see some footage of the latest event (thanks to Syntse, as always). It looks like this was a great event for variety, with J7 and Cyrez from FINRG alongside all sorts of other genres – I couldn’t help smiling during the clip from Tornadoz & D-Shark’s set, they seem to be having an awesome time in the booth.

I’m always interested to see Xelfer playing, as his selection seems quite TYFTH-friendly. I’ve unearthed this 2008 set, but does anyone know if he has any recent mixes online?

Munted! ‘400 Likes’ mix series – Alchemiist

Thanks to the good folk at Munted! for pointing me in the direction of the fourth mix in the ‘400 Likes’ series, this time from none other than the young master of darker freeform, Alchemiist. Weirdly I was thinking recently how great an Alchemiist live PA would be, and along comes this set of his own freeform tunes, running from his older tunes right up to Anthrax Injection. It’s another must-listen in what’s been a brilliant series.

Download here, and check out Munted! here.

Munted! has managed the impressive feat of reaching 400 Facebook fans (or ‘likes’, if you prefer), and to celebrate the crew have gone way beyond the call of duty with this mix series, enlisting three of the scene’s major artists. Congratulations to Munted! – and of course if you haven’t already, be sure to check out their page for a heady cocktail of freeform news, egg-related puns and badger references.
