Tracksuit Mafia Drum and Bass

About Me


I DJ & Produce Drum & Bass / Jungle. I try to incorporate the music i grew up listening to, into my D&B, which is metal & hip hop when i'm working on a track. Got into D&B about 7 years ago, (stuff like Renegade Hardware, Bad Company, Ed Rush & Optical, Kemal, Konflict, Tech Itch etc). Was never really big into old skool jungle, it was all about dark tech step for me.
I am looking for D&B producers all over the world to collaborate with, to make dirty drum and bass, also if there are any MC's / Vocalists who want any beats made for demos etc or any Visual artists / Film makers who want any music / soundtracks for documentaries & short films. Gimme a shout.....
I have been a resident dj at Bad Taste Drum n Bass for the last 4 years, I also helped run the night before moving to London. Bad Taste is Belfast's longest running, underground drum and bass night, we never received any funding or grants like other club nights in Belfast. It was started and maintained by a close group of friends who shared the same vision. I also played and helped out at Industry, which is a hardcore / gabber / DNB night in Belfast.... check out www.myspace.com/badtasteindustry... for details of past gigs and forthcoming gigs...... I have played at many different drum and bass nights in Dublin and Cork and also played at The State of Mantua Festival 2007 (Big ups to Fiction & Paddy @DNB Impact - Cork. Nippoman, Brez, Syndrome Crew -Dublin)
I have been producing my own drum & bass tracks for about 2 years. Mostly dark, dirty and hard sounding tracks. I also experiment with bits and pieces of dubstep when I wanna take a break from making drum & bass, the kind of dubstep I make is heavily influenced by the drum & bass i listen to and produce. It just sounds like slowed down drum & bass to me.
I use Reason, Cubase, Ableton Live, Recycle & Wavelab, VSTi's, plug ins. I enjoy sampling (movies, music, strange sounds), twisting up noises to create weird patterns and rhythms. I'm heavily influenced by my surroundings and environment, If i have a shit day, I'll prob go home and make some really shit sounding music before eventually deleting it. ha ha.
