Metric's Beat Cave

And the final instalment from the cave for 2011 is a little party mix of the kind of tunes you'd catch me playing at house party. Featuring a bunch of 90's to late 00's hip-hop and R&B and some bits in-between. Something to get your new year celebrations started. And knowing that most folks will see this after the new year, it still makes a good little listen. Steve Spacek - Dollar [Sound In Color/BBE] Mono/Poly - Oil Fields [Fat City] ARP 101 - Dead Leaf [Eglo] Baron Zen - Burn Rubber (Dam Funk Remix) [Stones Throw] Die Bend - My Mighty [MPFree] Queens English - Keep On [IQ] Foxy Brown ft Blackstreet - Get You Home [Def Jam] Total - Sitting Home (Remix ft Shyne) [Bad Boy] Juganot - En Why Cee [Strictly Live Music] Common - The Game [Geffen] LL Cool J - Doin’ It [Def Jam] Nas - If I Ruled The World [Columbia] Xzibit - Paparazzi (Instrumental) [Loud Records] De La Soul - All Good [Tommy Boy Music] Lynden David Hall - Forgive Me (Ignorants Club Mix) [Cooltempo] Warren G - The Game Don’t Wait (Remix) [Restle

It's not easy compiling a broken beat mix in today's musical climate. Few are making it like they used to and there's no dedicated regular nights to showcase any new music, which is fine I guess, Because people aren't producing it (well I definitely ain't hearing it. Though Kaidi & Mark Force say there are holding). So a musical aggregator like myself has to wade through the new releases digital cause they mostly are these days. with little in the way of mainstream playlists on DJ sets to give a heads on what's forthcoming. But with a sprinkling of the older stuff still not spun on the cave 1's and 2's, a dubstep tune (shocker) and some goodies from the old hands of the game (Mr Dego & Seiji). I bring you probably the best broken beat mix you've/you'll hear all year. Listen and report back KV5 - Without Sound [Proflica] Lazer Kru - Flatline (Jonny Miller Remix) [Unreleased/Broadcite Dub] Dego - Not In My Disco [2000 Black] Seiji & Bémbé Ségué - Get it Together [Seijigoodies MPFree] Synkro & Indigo - Knowi

Going in with the selection, digging deep this one should appeal to anyone looking for a soundtrack to jump around the house while doing those Sunday things you gotta do. Posted late night on a Sunday, its technically Monday here. I guess its for next Sunday's housework, Anyway enjoy it whenever you choose to. Assuming you like old dnb that is. Peshay - The Real Thing [MoWax] Photek - Fusion [Photek] LTJ Bukem - Horizons [Looking Good] Leon Mar - Runnin’ [Reinforced] Source Direct - Artificial Barriers [Source Direct] J-Majik - Daybreak [Metalheadz] Seba - Universal Music [Good Looking] Futurebound - Blue Mist [Timeless] JLM Productions - Autumn [Reinforced] Reprezent - Hot Stuff [Talkin’ Loud] Polska - Burning Sun (Reborn Remix) [Subtle Audio] Fallen Angel - Hello Lover [Desired State Remix] [IQ Records] System Ex - Mind Games [3rd Eye] Equinox - Thoughts Of Tomorrow [Scientific Wax Retro] Danny Breaks - For The Thinking Positive Crew [Droppin’ Science] J-Majik - Your Sound [Metalheadz] Oblivion - Night Wi

Returning with a little break from the norm, a party set of many styles all in one set. You won't hear this on Radio 1. Similar mixed bag to the music I used to play at Cocomo. Remember that place? Nah i didn't think so, lol No ace of base in sight.

Back, and on time. The cave puts out another dnb outing to take you on a journey. Recording during the great unrest of 2011, no not the UK riots. That 'holiday' I had a couple of months back that produced about 5 recorded (and still forthcoming) mixes. Starting light before touching on some harder beats, all planned to create twisting virtual sound scape. Naibu - Theme From Harajuku Station [Subtle Audio] Nebula - Escher [Outsider] Anile & Synth Sense ft Rose - Seeking you [Deep Soul Music] Dan Habarnam - Nu Este Roz [Exit] Distance - Sky’s Alight [Autonomic] Amit - 9 Times ft Rani [Commercial Suicide] Fracture & Neptune - Customtone [Astrophonica] Code 3 - Double Dipped [Critical] Optical - Movimg 808's [Prototype] Code 3 - Chasm [Exit] Macc - Nuñez [Transmute] Seba - Gold & Diamonds [Vibez] Seba & Paradox - The Dribbler [Secret Operations] Ulterior Motive & FD - All That We Are [Metalheadz] Skream - Motorway [Exit] Rockwell - Stowaway Dub [Digital Soundboy] Spectrasoul - Lost Disciple [Shogun Audio] Macc

And we're back, late again despite the title. This IS one I prepared earlier featuring a return of the long awaited broken beat selection which is hard to come by these days in my opinion. Some old bits, some new bits and some bits that aren't even broken. Keeping the line diverse. Foreign Beggars - Keeping The Line Fat [Dented] Karizma - Drumz Nightmare [R2] Ezel - In My Lifetime (Instramental) [Ocha] Block 16 - Morning Sun (Pepe Brackdock Remix) [BBE] Martyn - Megadrive Generation [Hyperdub] Lazer Kru - Firecracker [Broadcite] Greymatter ft Domu - Watch Dis [Unique Uncut] Karizma - Groove Da Dub [R2] Lazer Kru - Loss of Our Life [Broadcite] Martyn - Eldon Street [3024] Jazztronik - Samurai [Pantone] Lazer Kru ft Andrea Clarke - Funk Thang [Broadcite] Domuforce - Izitobe [Treble O] Daz-I-Kue - In the Middle (Feat Joy Jones - Domu Mix - vox) [Future Soul Records] Kele Le Roc - That Rhythm [Freelance Diva] Jazzanova - I Can See (Fromwood’s Tritubte Remix) [Unreleased/CDR] Pavel Kostiuk - South Pacific [2000

Morning/Afternoon/Evening (whatever day phase this transmission reaches you) Welcome, This time we have something a little different for you, not in musical tastes as such, more a differing in method of compilation. In a hybrid of the styles, one when 'a man named nayf from a forum few would have heard called dnba, who would compile a tracklist for a mix of another DJ's collections dug through on discogs mixed by a that DJ as they choose' style and the old back to back style (without the second DJ being present) My man Snakey, from the DNBA 'elite' provided the skeleton of a tracklisting within the den rule that a tune can't have used before, (which somehow still produced at least 5 ineligible tunes, lol. Which where replaced by my own selection/weapons I have been storing. I would give a breakdown of where this events occur and whos selection is whos but they're all my tunes anyway, so I would have got round to them eventally and it don't really add to the experience so it not worth the words really. Ar

I suppose now that I (believe I) know the number of regular listeners you guess you would say I should look to expand on those numbers, and I yes you could say the previous show was an attempt to do so, with some lovely dnb rollers that should appeal to the mainstream dnb market (if back in 2004), this podcast takes in it an sharp twist, starting up sythy and autonomic before hitting euphoric amens then drifting into a dark choppy jungle of amens before finishing in the interstellar darkness all without a drop of liquid in slight. (Again yes the picture has water, so again a slight contradiction but once you're 10 minutes in I think you'll find the image fitting) Something that may not suit the casual dnb listener but goes deep in terms of bass and selection I suppose this is half a step away from pots and pans, but believe me, that's coming soon too. They Live - Pure Palms [Autonomic] Commix - City Section [Exit] Vaccine - Ochre [NonPlus+] Synkro - Open Arms [Exit] Fracture ft Chewie - Brainfreeze [Astrop

And I return, Things in the den are going amazingly well, But the summer in London is finally here (so they say), and a icy field is your visual simulation, you would think I wasn't happy about the weather. Maybe it's just my imagination being on the haunting wintery setting, that makes this image seem relatable to this mix as it reaches 'Ancestral'. Apart from that little section the mix has real summer feel to it, rollers from start to finish. You cannot not enjoy it. (Yes that was intentional) Rave Save? I 'little' deplorable I hear you say? Well I suppose in sum respect you're right, it's very barley-esque, but f@*% it, It's a quote from Human Traffic which I thought was a great film and this is a great party mix without a 'tough' tune in sight. so the mix does what is says on the ti(n/tile) regardless of the image used. Suv Feat. Marta - Alfombra Magica [Full Cycle] Danny Breaks - Return of the Space Maiden [Droppin' Science] London Elektricity - Songs In the key of knife [Hospital] Calibre - If..

BACK, that's right! Handing out the goodies once again, this time of the broken variety, slim pickings as that is this days. When combined with some classics, digging and breaks create a lovely summery mix for you folks. It's times like these that I remember why I started mixing tunes over seven summers and (it's actually eight, but hey I had some alliteration going there!) and why I still love doing this today.(Though none of these artist today actually got me mixing) I shouldn't really be giving away my musical past so candidly. If I ever start making tunes and giving interviews, I want to be able to give the standard "I starting DJing in the early 90's playing acid house and techno and breaks" line or face expulsion from the underground community, but Hey F@*& It Daz-I-Kue & Soulparlor pres. Stan Steam - C’mon Rock [OM] Dego - Eyelids Heavy [MPFree] Altered Natives - Cold Shower [Eye4Eye] Mustafa feat. Carlene Graham - Energize (Aphrodisiax Broken Vox Mix) [Staff Productions] Jafrosax feat Vikter Duplai

Yes yes, hello again to all. Thanks for stopping by again, today i give you a taste of a standard rinse out affair in the den, a little liquid, a little jump up, a tease, a few breaks, some strings and lots of bass. Really getting into the mood of spending a decent part of weekend in the den again so the mixes show no immediate signs of stopping especially with the 'kids' moving on. A vary mixed bag here, starting up with the same intro as the very first recorded mix i ever passed out (uploaded to tut web) and continuing with party tunes of all kinds and ending with some syncopation as i needed to add an extra track to take us up to the hour.

Hello, Remember this site? Nah? First podcast of 2011, what 5 months in? But who's counting? Anyway this ones a goodie, starting with some of the slower stuff I enjoy but i always find harder to fit in a session due to the tempo to a house heavy influence in the later stages playing some summer joints for the good weather that been floating around. Waking up and step up to the den for a little spin ended up with me getting a serious head bop going, with when coupled with the soaring temperature of the den in summer end up with the title of this latest instalment See?
