Besides some new,fresh and upcoming music and artists that I mention and of whom I write,I also wanna refresh ya mind with some OLD&GOLD stuff...
So...first OLD&GOLD line goes to music scientists 4real...yes,they are Marc Mac&Dego aka 4Hero aka Tom and Jerry aka Jacob's Optical Stairway and of course to their label Reinforced Records.
They are known as early pioneers of breakbeat hardcore and drum and bass music, and the group obtained a Mercury Music Prize nomination for their 1998 album Two Pages. More recently, on their 2007 album, Play with the Changes, 4hero has experimented with downtempo and Nu jazz.
Mark 'Marc Mac' Clair & Dennis 'Dego' McFarlane continue to produce music as 4hero as well as a variety of other aliases they've developed over the years.
Been around since the early 1980's, Marc and Dego have influenced many styles under many monikers; from jungle to drum'n'bass, from hip-hop to techno.
They also set up many labels to reflect the scenes they were and continue to be part of: Reinforced, 2000 Black, Twisted Funk, Omniverse, and Raw Canvas Records.
And what they create from early days to know is just pure science!!!
Homeboy Bitz keep dropping dope mixes...This time he got a triple dnb pleasure fo ya'll!
CD1 - For the DREAMERS
"Starting it off, a mix full of eerie atmospheres, dreamy vocals and powerful basslines.The number of experimental beats which step out of the standard raster make this a journey through today's Drum & Bass, showing what is most interesting about it - it's diversity! Each tune has it's place and space to breathe and tell it's own story. Turn up you speakers and let it take you on a journey"...
"The second mix brings us the best of 2009s liquid sounds. Music for the energetic, positive and the lovers. Happy vocals, full of emotion, rolling breaks and jazzy vibes will definitely bring smile on your face".
"Last but not least comes a very energetic mix, pretty varied in selection, which showcases a range of sound from the newer minimal, over jungle and even neurish vibes. The mix is agile, quick and put an accent on the dynamics of the dancefloor. Double drops, a different selection and a lot of play from the DJ will hold your attention from the beginning to the very end".
Every time I was off fo some time,I love to start with some local boys...This time Im gonna drop dnb mix/podcast no16 from my homeboy Timmy (Codex), which he did for DNBCentrala in December 09.
Mix is pure semple bizz... :)

"Born in Belgrade. Got involved in music during mid 90’s via hiphop as a starting point and first love. Through hiphop, a whole new horizon opened and jazz/soul/funk/reggae/disco were destinations to visit. After going back to the roots, logically he found chicago/soulful/deep/acid house,breakbeat, brokenbeat, nujazz and drum’n’bass as very familiar sounds.Especially the last one. Going through whole journey was much easier with radio station and from 2000. started, during that period only hiphop radio show in Belgrade, Soundbombing radio show which after one year moved to legendary underground pirate radio station SKC FM and continued as a duo with Timbe of Bad Copy. In that time, he started getting into production and mixing/Djing thing so after a while, got residenture in one of the finest Belgrade lounge cocktail bars, followed by another venture with radio Venus FM where he got his 2 hour slot called “Freestyle Sessions” (with guests like DJ Marky, MC Stamina, Drumagick, Patife, TM Juke, Seiji,etc.) presenting wide spectre of music genres covering almost everything mentioned above. Also, he took part in team that created radio programme. From 2004. he played in all Belgrade’s bigger clubs, @ EXIT Festival 2007. and 2008., REFRACT04, bigger cities in Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia and played alongside DJ Marky & MC Stamina, DJ Patife, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad, Bryan Gee, Danny Byrd, Big Bud, Adam F, Makoto & Deeizm, Kabuki & Jenna G, Utah Jazz, Craggz & Parallel Forces, A.I., Benny Page, Bungle, EZ Rollers & MC Messy, Submorphics, Killa Kela & Spitkingdom Crew, 4Hero, DJ Vadim, TM Juke, Buschemi, etc. Also, his tunes got excellent feedback and are regularely played by names like LTJ Bukem, Big Bud, Fabio, Makoto, Nookie, Crissy Criss, Drumagick, PFM, Submorphics, Jay Rome and supported on BBC Radio1, 1Xtra, Bassdrive"…

And we are expecting and looking forward fo some new fresh tune(s)...
It's my day off...so Im chillin' in the studio with my man Subotic while he finishes his new projects (more about that in the next few days)!
This day is completely devoted to music,and right now I spin some homemade dnb mix.Our friend Bitz gave us his promo mix last Wednesday,and also I would like to invite ya'all from Belgrade (and those who are visiting Belgrade) @The Wash,new club in town...place for some serious music listeners and admirers.Every Wednesday,our dear friends and some of Belgrade's finest Side1,Necone and Bitz (with friends) spin some jazzy,dub step and drum'n'bass stuff for ya and that night called Jazzy Waxin' Wednesdays.
More information soon about schedule @The Wash for the upcoming month,stay tuned...
Now it's about time to make some place right here fo my homeboy.
22years old guy,born and raised in Belgrade...raised on street culture and lifestyle,as well as skateboarding.
He is one of those who do not fit in the standards of growing up and maturing generations of the late 80s and
90s...outcast of generation who's like rotten oranges and later catched points.
Child of soul,funk,jazz,hip hop and ol'skool rap...a big fan of drum'n'bass and jungle sound.He is a vinyl collector,primarily because of love for 'em,and then 'cause of deejayin of course.
On the events in which he spins music,you can hear classic hip hop and rap songs,and a sophisticated
selection of Motown,Stax...sound,melodic funk,jazzy hip hop all the way to broken beat,nu jazz...
Beat junky...he starts to deal with music production in 2008.One of his first beat found his place on the
compilation of local underground musicians on UnderGrad Jam project for multimedial organization Izgradnja.
With his own style,he stands out from the majority of both domestic and also from region beatmakers.
Among some of the producers that he loves is certainly Madlib,with all the aliases and his music projects and
different styles...but also,he follows the original J Dilla recipe for delicious 'donuts'.
His beats so far have found their place on the new albums of the local hip hopers (Shkabo, Shef Sale), and there are indications of regional music colaborations.With local drum'n'bass deejay and producer Side1 (Side1 @myspace) he did a tune "Never Gonna Let You Go", which is found a place on the famous dnb label GoodLooking rec,whose owner is LTJ Bukem,in form of white label and suported from himself,Makoto,Fabio,Bailey etc. Here,on B92.fm you can hear his guest mix for a great radio show Balanso (Spacewalker and Jazzmate).
Do not sleep over this young producer...stay tuned with his beats!
Visit his myspace page to hear his beats and get informations about schedule of future gigs.
A lil' bit of drum and bass right here!
