DJ Cable - May 2010 Podcast

I know it's a week late, but here's my monthly roundup for May 2010.

Once again, massive thanks to everyone who's been downloading the podcasts. I've decided to switch things up by not having a vocal introduction anymore...Now you can comfortably rock this on your iPod without having to hear my monotone voice, haha!

So...This month's mix has more of a Hip Hop/Electronica selection, although there is a nice slice of Dubstep & Grime towards the end, packed with new tunes from House Shoes, Busta Rhymes, Sean Price, T.I., Rusko, Noisia, Guilty Simpson, Rude Kid and Mark Instinct...plus some exclusive heat from Mz. Bratt, Dream McLean, Macca and I.D.

DJ Cable x Rock The Dub x Ego Thieves "Fuck Thugstep Vol. 1"

It’s about time I hit you with another mixtape. Rock The Dub has been pivotal in both pushing the Thugstep sound, and inspiring DJs such as myself to get involved, so it was only right that we teamed up to put out a mix for the end of 2009. Things got even better when Jenai over at Ego Thieves got involved (props for the artwork!).

The end result? A heavy mix of Dubstep/Grime/Crunk, with some exclusive refixes, as well as the ones you know and love...

Whether you love it or hate it, THUGSTEP is here to stay. Forgive me if I sound big headed, but I’ve seen the damage that it can do in rave; and with numerous DJs across the London scene and the UK supporting my blends, it’s great to see people embrace this type of sound. I'm sure DJ Nappy would be proud.

Download the mixtape HERE, turn your speakers up, and throw some bows in your living room...

DJ Cable "Mixin It Up" for Discobelle.net

Shouts to Discobelle for giving me the opportunity to do a mix for their Mixin' It Up series, which has been graced by loads of other great DJs such as Bok Bok, Dave Nada and Drop The Lime, to name a few...If you don't know about Discobelle, they're one of the internet's leading dance music blogs, and have been highly influential when it comes to breaking new music.

For this mix, I decided to go with a selection of Dubstep & Grime tracks (both old and new) that I’m into at the moment, accompanied with a tiny bit of scratching here and there; Nothing too intricate though, as I wanted the tunes to speak for themselves.

You can also peep the full post here to see my reasons behind each choice. I hope you all enjoy the mix :)

DJ Cable's Guest Mix on BBC Asian Network

It's been a pretty exciting week so far. On top of having 5 shows to do, and Serato Video-SL arriving in the post, I also had a guest mix aired on DJ Kayper's show on BBC Asian Network, as part of the Hype "Mixtape Challenge".

For those that don't know, each week Kayper does the "Mixtape Challenge" on her show, where she challenges a DJ to fit 3 or 4 Desi tracks into a 15 minute mix of any genre; be it cutting them up, remixing/re-editing them, etc...In other words, you gotta be creative!

Previous DJs who've taken up the challenge include Crookers, MJ Cole, DJ Craze & DJ Yoda, so I knew I had to pull something out of the bag! So as a result, this mix showcases a lot more scratching, a whole mixture of genres, and some re-editing which I've done in Ableton. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, there's also a brief interview with me at the start too...You can all witness how...erm...monotone/quiet I am lol...

DJ Cable "The Mash Down: Vol. 1"

I've been promising you a mixtape since the start of this year...so here it is!

Rather than do Weekly Mixes, I'll be doing them on a Monthly basis. Each mix will vary in genre, or will be a cross-genre mashup...Hip Hop, D&B, Electro/Fidget, Dubstep, House - There'll be something for everyone...

So, to kick start this year's set of mixes I've gone in with a dope D&B mix for you to check out. There's a nice mixture of jump up, tech-step, disco, vocal & liquid D&B here for your ears.

I've taken the name for this series - "The Mash Down" - from the rather excellent track by Noah D, which will be released digitally next month on RTDLTD. I think it kinda sums up the whole theme pretty well.
