A Swift Half with Dave Woods

As the hype builds up towards welcoming the legend Skream back to LE11 alongside Disclosure on 11th October, we put the spotlight on some of the guys wholly responsible for the ebb & flow of our night. Whether its warming up the crowd for our special guests or supplying the grooves in the second room to offer that little something different, our residents do a fantastic job every party and over the next week we find out what makes these guys tick. Consider this a virtual 30 minutes down the local, with them supplying the tunes on the jukebox, a possibly sketchy back story and a discussion on what their favourite tunes of the moment are = A Swift Half with...



It's never by fluke that someone wins a DBE DJ competition, proven by case in hand Dave Woods. After fending off some tough competition in 2011 to win a set opening up the main room for Beardyman, he didn't waste any time in settling into the big room atmosphere and kick starting what was a massive party.

Then, like a true rock 'n' rolla, he went AWOL for a year, with plenty of rumours as to his whereabouts and general concerns for his safety outside the confines of LE11. Some tell the tale of a young man trapped in an underground lair of Hard Wax in Berlin, living off a drip feed of the latest bass heavy releases whilst being solely responsible for sorting the recycling before collection on a Wednesday. Others tell of a year in industry but we weren't so interested in actually listening to that story.

Whatever the truth, the man is back and Dave Woods returns to Loughborough with a years worth of anticipation bottled up inside him, ready to assume his rightful place as a DBE resident. To celebrate this return we have a 30 minute insight into the musical mind of Dave Woods, free to download and stick on your music machine of choice. And if you listen hard enough, you can almost hear those broken glass bottles and the tearing up of Modeselektor cardboard cut-outs...



And once you've finished listening, discover something new and have a browse through Dave's Top 10 tunes that made him go crazy this summer:

Last Japan feat. Average Joe - Y.O.U

Commodo - Querky

Julio Bashmore - Au Seve

Dark Sky - F-Technology

Lobster Boy - Planet X

Climbers - All Right

Brownz & Requake - Creep

Justin Martin - Ghettos and Gardens

Eats Everything - Jagged Edge

Amirali - Falling Down

Welcome back...

Welcome back. And as the sun sets on another ridiculous summer for festivals, parties and general frolicking, WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS. And boy have we been busy...

First up, tickets have been flying out for our leg of the SKREAMIZM tour with special guests Skream & Disclosure. The night edges closer and closer and there is less than a month until we open the our doors in LE11 once again. Earlybirds have sold out but you can still grab your £10 ticket here...

Secondly, we have been working through the summer to make sure you are never too far away from your next dose of spine-tingling bass vibes. Here at dbe we thought it was about time we stepped up our game once again, so last week we released our plans on Facebook for the next two months. Keep an eye out for a new residency at the wonderfully intimate Sophbeck in Leicester, plans for a third instalment of the Magical Mystery Tour & even our first dbe trip up to Manchester's legendary Warehouse Project. Check out the graphic below for more details...

here's the first in a long line of interviews with the players of the bass music scene.

We caught up with Roska ahead of Sundays shindig, and asked him a few choice questions about his label RKS along with what's hot in the world of the bass music player...

Is RKS an extension of you as a dj or an output for you to put out music you find that you can't fit into your sets?

Rks is a label for music that represents me and my sound.

Skream - Outside The Box

Iv'e been hesitating for a while about doing a blog about Skream's upcoming album 'Outside The Box', due to the understandable lack of a release date and very limited information on tracklistings etc. That said, fuck it. I'm gonna do it anyway. This album is probably one of the most anticipated albums of the year, and from the previews of tracks played on his stella sessions shows on Rinse FM i'm wetting myself with anticipation. Skream announced that the album should be released May/June time, just in time to be the soundtrack to everyones summer.

The album taking shape shows just why Skream is still one of the best in the business, and has the power and ability to single-handedly drag music into a new direction. Collaborations on the album include Autonomic boys dBridge & Instra:Mental, Newham Generals and rumoured La Roux.

For more information on the album and to hear the man himself banging out the latest and greatest, tune into Rinse FM every (well most!) Wednesday for the Stella Sessions @ 21:00. Listen live to Rinse FM here...

Obviously nearer the time more will be known about tracklisting etc., but just to whet your appetite check out the videos below of 3 tracks rumoured to be off the album that are all going to be contenders for tune of the year.
