DNB Dojo Mix Series 28: Kush T

MixSeries28_KushT

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Kush T since we first came across him via releases for Terabyte and Avantgarde, and we’re big fans of his grimey, minimalist style of D&B. With another release just out on Counterpoint Recordings, we jumped at the chance to get the man on board the Dojo Mix Series!

Pete has delivered a punchy 30 minute selection of rolling D&B with a few cheeky dubplate exclusives and a fine selection featuring the likes of Total Science, Break, Amoss and plenty more. Check it out below and hit up the Counterpoint Bandcamp to grab his Quiet Minds EP right now!

Theory of the Avantgarde – Cosmos LP [Avantgarde Recordings]

Dabs and Grotesque’s have brought together a fierce selection of tracks for their Avantgarde Recordings imprint’s first LP, and fans of the deep but techy end of the D&B spectrum will definitely not be disappointed with the result!

Highlights include M-zine, Skepticz and Matt Pulsa’s tight, techy workout on Fumes, Fade’s big, bad reese bass driven business on Swarm and the grimy minimalist stylings of Kush T, who teams up with Serge on Hyperspace. Sadly only a few of the clips are only so far, but keep an eye on the Avantgarde soundcloud for more, and watch out for the LP dropping from October 20th. We’ve also lined up an exclusive mix from some of the Avantgarde crew so hold tight for that one soon!

Q&A – Auzi [Terabyte Records]

Terabyte Records have been moving from strength to strength since their inception two years ago, with support coming from some big names in the scene and some excellent tunes gracing their catalogue. The latest release is no different, and sees the label revisiting their previous tunes for some new remixes from a host of artists old and new. We caught up with Terabyte co-founder Auzi for his thoughts on the release and the label’s ethos.

Kush T – Tense / Waiting [Terabyte]

Terabyte round off a fantastic 2013 with their 9th single, this time from Southampton’s Kush T. A-side Tense featuring the vocal talents of Serge has picked up widespread DJ support from some pretty big names and it’s not hard to see why – menacing bass, skittering beats and a grimey vocal all contribute to a militant slice of minimalism.

Over on the flip Waiting continues the trend of heavy hitting leftfield percussion and weighty sub pressure that we’ve come to associate with Terabyte releases. Tasty stuff. Check out the clips below and look out for the release dropping at all good digital stores from December 16th.
