Me and Axu will be providing some gentle terror for your ears at Club Volume in Tampere next week alongside the promoter of the night, Wispy. Tampere is a great city and it's always a pleasure go there, and even more fun to have a chance to play there, so I'm really looking forward to it.
Here's the necessary info in text format too:

Here's a link of a b2b mix we did on Arctic Bass show on nsbradio.co.uk last saturday. It's mostly drum'n'bass, although I did play some 115 bpm house kind of stuff in the beginning.
If you want to know more about the show, check out the Facebook page. It is actually a mostly breakbeat/dubstep oriented show I'm doing with couple of friends as Takomo, but every now and then we do something different, like this show :)
Anyway, download the mp3, and you can click "read more" for the full tracklist.
Now this should be good news for friends of chopped breakbeats: Fanu has decided to give away 2 brand new tracks on his website. His original plan was to build an ep around these tracks, but things happened and he decided to give these tunes away for free. And as the catalogue number suggests, this might not be the last free Lightless release.
Starts with darker techno bits and moves forward to dubstep, even to some really wobbly ones (they're good though, trust me) and some drummy tunes too.
OK, besides being just a favourite, this one's also a personal opinion; Jungle at its purest essence, stripped down to just bare essentials. Nothing fancy needed, just a fat warm bassline, properly built rhythm to keep it rolling and some samples thrown in to give it a distinction. Released on Moving Shadow, my favourite label.
New mix in the Jungle Visions series, this time from Mineral who just recently also did a guest mix for us. Deep and atmospheric drum'n'bass goodness, and awesome mixing. Definitely a mix worth listening.
Listen to the mix from the player below, or you can also download it. Click "read more" for the full tracklist.
Something I could file under "lately I've been listening to..", and I thought i would like to share this mix with you too.
Danish techno duo Northern Structures provided a mix and an interview for Tea And Techno blog/podcast. Some of you might recognize one half of the duo, Troels B-Knudsen, with his former dj/producer name Pyro. He has a rather wide discography, and he also used to run a label called Nerve Recordings with Paul Reset. As an artist/dj he was known for making and supporting the techno dnb sound, so it's not really a big surprise that he's dropped the dnb part and gone techno both solo, and in this case with his friend Lasse Buhl.
The mix provided by the guys is techno that sounds like techno. No minimal clicks and bleeps, but cold (northern?), rough and almost industrial sounds but thank god nothing like schranz. The overall vibe is very much similar to their production, and possibly there are some fo their tracks in the mix as well. There is no tracklist, so I really have no idea, and I really don't know anything about techno, except the fact that I love it.
Anyway, this kind of techno is definitely my cup of tea (ba dum kssh). And make sure you check the interview too, it's worth reading.
