Welcome to the first installment of my ’20 Years a Kid’ mixtape series! This first mix covers the years from 1996 to 1998 when I first started DJing in Sydney (and long before most people in Australia had ever heard of me). This first mix captures some of the tracks I was playing back then: hip hop, big beat, and early breaks. ‘Breaks’ wasn’t actually a genre yet in 1996 and you had to dig pretty hard (at your local record store) to find a good breakbeat sounding record. But that’s what made it so exciting, the ‘discovery’. I’m sure there’s a tonne of tunes I’ve forgotten on here (and there were some I left off as they didn’t quite work in the mix) but the essence of what I did back then is here, including the last track ‘Papua New Guinea’ which I’d drop last EVERY time I DJ’d.

Anyway, I hope you dig the mix! Big love and welcome to my 20 year flashback! – Kid Kenobi

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the third volume of ‘We Are OKNF’ from the Brooklyn based collective, OKNF, for a while now, so when it caught our eye on a music hunt we couldn’t wait to give it a spin. Once again we’re very pleased we did because the heat and heaviness of the 5 free tracks found on volume three is insane. FromDropTillDawn, Deezy & Embee, Bob Gravity, GiddiBangBang and Chick Iverson are the producers who are delivering the bullish House tracks that have heaps of attitude and bass. Lets ‘ave it!

From his humble beginnings in Dubstep’s cultural hub, Croydon based DJ

Hatcha has nurtured the genre from its outset. Standing as one of the

founding forefathers, he’s helped shaped the scene following its explosion in

the early 2000’s. His influence has spanned over a decade and this hasn’t

gone unnoticed throughout Dubstep’s history. Hatcha’s seminal Kiss and

Rinse FM shows pushed Dubstep onto the agenda’s forefront, cementing its

relevance within the UK’s melting hub of sub-culture, whilst further pushing it

onto the mainstage at events across the country. He’s personally

responsible for its resounding success, ensuring its longevity whilst

showcasing some of their finest producers.

And after eight years of pedestalling its most important breakthrough acts,

Hatcha returns with an EP set to send shockwaves across the community.

Being heralded by both Mixmag and DJ Mag alike as a leading pioneer, these

next five cuts of sonic aptitude epitomise why he’s so highly esteemed. The

spotlight is about to be turned on him once again and he’s leading the charge.

Diving head first into the murky, growling undertones Hatcha reigns

supreme over, the producer demonstrates exactly why he’s king of the

underground. Breaking out of every paradigm set up for electronic music,

Hatcha is unafraid to step out of its boundaries. Unclassifiable, yet floaty and

still technically flawless, first track ‘Going in’, which features the darkly

rooted production prowess of Abstrakt Sonance and is a re-entry into

Hatcha’s immersive style: minimal whilst still being able to take complete

control of your aural synapses.
