It’s beginning to look very much like that time again, ladies and gents. And while you’ll soon be partying like a celeb, quaffing Asti and belting down innumerate reheated, luxury, liquid-centred savoury nibbles…in the meantime once again I bring you Colliderscope…thrusting its twitching, gift-wrapped member all up in your grill and begging to be opened well before the appointed festive morn.
And for December, like the Beatnuts said, we got the funk.
Kicking off a line of straight up bangers this month is Pretty Lights’ bass line genius GRiZ with another unlikely yet perfectly executed re-working, then into breaks and booties from Timothy Wisdom, Umbo and The Break Beat Junkie. A quick snifter of dry sherry and it’s heads down for a spot of moombahton from DJ Apt One before Lee Mortimer pulls a four-four groover out of the bag that’ll cause you to become amorously aroused. Baymont Bross up next then brace yourself for a full hour of hands in the unashamed hands in the air lunacy, with booties from Grizzla, DJ E-1000 and Basement Freaks laying the ground work for our Miaow Mixing guest…
All the way from Nizhny Novgorod (formerly known as Gorky and as you’ll doubtless be aware, the fifth largest city in Russia) is snare torturing ragga jungle nutcase, DJ FeyDer.
If there is more frenetic drum programming out there in the jungle world, I’m not sure it would be very healthy for you. FeyDer takes the heady spirit of that ‘94ish ragga sound and twists it into and entirely different beast. You’ve heard people talk about the ‘Russian sound’ and here it is, larger than life and off its face, banging on your front door demanding more Vodka. FeyDer has turned in a brutal, uncompromising ragga jungle belter which’ll knock yer stuffing out.
After an intense hour and a half, we’ll get a tad bit reflective on the homeward straight, heading towards midnight. Keeping the drum’n’bass vibe alive, albeit on a more placid tip, we have the ever dependable DJ Trax remixed in fine atmospheric style by Naibu, the roll-tastic ZZZZZ from Double O and a beatific builder of a remix from Liondub & Twister. Morphy dub it up for a spell but it’s a major twist in proceedings that’ll find us breaking and shaking it up to the witching hour.
All in all it’s going to be a bit of a ding dong. See you this Saturday (10/12/2011) from 10pm (GMT) on Space Invader Radio.
