In The Mix…Raiden

To celebrate his forthcoming appearance at Tech:nology Raiden has recorded an hour long mix of D&B cuts featuring some heavy amen business and rolling techstep, including some excellent edits and mashups, of which the Amen Edit of Lion VIP is definitely one of the highlights.

Check out the mix below, and look over here for details of the event – you can catch Raiden alongside Prolix, Xtrah, Trace, Survival & Silent Witness and Dom & Roland at Techn:nology on May 4th at London’s Hidden Nightclub.

Classic Track: Technical Itch – The Rukus

Today’s classic track selection takes us all the way back to 2002 with Technical Itch‘s seminal techstep belter The Rukus. A reese line that can only be described as “utterly hench”, sci-fi arpeggios and a killer sample combine with a hefty smashed up amen to make up a tune which still absolutely destroys dancefloors today. Oooft!

Zero T – Red Hand [CIA Deepkut]

The latest release on CIA’s Deepkut sublabel sees Zero T coming in with a tidy stepper in the form of Red Hand. A seriously infectious bassline and super tight drum rolls to fill out the beat make for a sure fire dancefloor hit.
