Competition – Win Tickets to See Loxy @ Hidden!

Posted on 21st January 2014 by DNB Dojo

It’s competition time once again – we’ve teamed up with Circa and Dub Clinique to give away two tickets to the last ever D&B rave at London’s Hidden nightclub. Sadly Hidden will soon be closing its doors for the last time but before then original badman Loxy will be giving the venue a send off alongside sets from a host of other names including B2B sets from Double O& Theory and Threshold & Jamma.

To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is like the DNB Dojo Facebook page and send us an email to dnbdojo@gmail.com with the subject line ‘Circa Loxy Competition’. We’ll draw the two lucky winners on Tuesday Jan 28th. Get involved!

You can check out all the details of the event on Facebook here and for a taste of what you’ll hear on the night, check out promo mixes from Jamma & Threshold and Demented Soul below.

December Mixtape Roundup

Chris Renegade presents the 23rd episode of the Lifted Music podcast featuring brand new cuts from Aeph, Memtrix, Prolix & Gridlok and more, alongside a new dub from Inward Phase, a classic from the Konflict vaults and plenty of random half-cut banter.

While actually recorded back in October the audio from Fracture’s appearance at the Boiler Room Machinedrum special has recently surfaced on Soundcloud, and as usual it’s an eclectic treat. Definitely one for the deep heads to scope out.

To celebrate the recent release of his M-Theory EP for Renegade Hardware, Maztek brings us a 30 minute mix packed full of top class techstep and neurofunk belters.

Warm Communications head honcho EHL has recorded a nice mix of all things deep ahead of the labels latest release from Mako.

Nickbee – Animal Rage EP [Eatbrain]

Posted on 28th October 2013 by DNB Dojo

Jade’s Eatbrain imprint continues the assault on your ears with another EP of fresh neurofunk beats, this time from Ukrainian beatsmith Nickbee. Apollo 18 kicks things off with a heavy hitting roller; tasty sci-fi atmospherics on the intro give way to squelching bass action and hard snares, with a few echoing chord stabs thrown in for good measure. The titular Animal Rage builds suspense on a long intro with swelling pads, cymbals and strings all adding to the tension before a growling bass drop kicks things into gear.

Gain The Energy delivers more techie sci-fi business with a hypnotic lead that fans of Black Sun Empire are sure to love, before Nickbee throws us a curveball on Blackline, dropping the tempo down to 130 for a nice chunky breakbeat track with more teeth than the average. Neurobreaks? Whatever, it’s awesome. Check out the beats below and grab a copy on vinyl or digital now!

As if the hefty release wasn’t enough, Nickbee has also put together a slamming mix for episode 10 of the Eatbrain podcast. Check it out and grab a free download below.
