G-Saims s’est fait interviewer et a mixé pour l’émission “All About Grime” du 11 février 2023 sur Radio Panik (105.4 fm à Bruxelles). Avec l’hôte de l’émission, DJ Syns, il y parle de son projet “Drum & Beer”, des soirées qu’il a déjà organisées, et de celles à venir. La soirée dont ils parlent, notre première grosse soirée, qui était prévue pour avril, à dû être reportée à octobre/novembre pour des raisons pratiques. Entre-temps, vous pouvez nous retrouver au Café Central ce 6 mai 2023 !

So where’s the Drum & Bass at this weekend ?

On friday there’s 3 parties :

Soirée DJ at LAMAB in centrum Brussels, close to Botanique, which should be varied but around bass music and definitely with some DnB.

Neuro als Nergens with One87 in Wilrijk, very close to Antwerp, on the south side. Should be Neuro and Deep.

For the Jump Up lovers, there’s VENGEANCE: RUMBLE OF THE UNDERGROUND (60% SOLD OUT) in Geel

On saturday we got 3 more:

FRIENDS OF DARK GLOW #2 in Wilrijk, same spot as Neuro als nergens. Should be varied ; Deep, Dancefloor, Liquid, Jump Up,…

Underground Sessions By Monkey Business in Gent, like usually with them it’s Ragga jungle, Jungle, DnB, Rave & Breakcore.

Again for the jump up lovers, INVIDIA: 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, in Antwerp.

Have fun

PS: if we ever missed some parties, put them in comments !

Where’s the Drum & Bass @ this weekend in Belgium

Right now, there’s a party that just started ; BASEMENT: Drum & Bass @Leuven – not exactly sure what flavour of DnB this will be, apparently not new school jump up.

On Friday in Brussels you’ve got OPTIMAL BASS x Antidote : Drum’n bass session with the great Sisley & BenOneShot as well as Ben Nidrev

Somewhere in flanders, at a secret location, there’s Concrete Drum X Bass W/ Visages – SOLD OUT

In Charleroi there’s Spawn Tonight : Drum & Bass Edition where I believe you should be able to see MEGO from our team

We will be north, at HIGH TEA Amsterdam – KOVEN Europe Tour

Then comes Saturday :

…and apparently losing an hour discouraged promoters…

Or maybe it’s the heavy competition from HOSPITALITYDNB TILBURG @ POPPODIUM 013 just across the border in the Netherlands ; where we’ll be going to see Netsky ; Metrik ; Degs ; as well as support our local D-Bro

So in Belgium there’s only Alcatraz – Most Wanted ; which is clearly going to be mostly New School Jump Up, maybe even Riddim oriented.

We wish you a nice weekend

PS: Keep an eye out, our next party will be announced in the coming days

Cette semaine sur l’excellent podcast de Miss Elorak ; Music is My Dope ; c’est DJ G-Saims qui est interviewé et qui mixe

This weekend at The Jungle Weekender Amsterdam • 10-13 March 2023 was very emotional, as nearly all the artists were good friends with the great figures of drum & bass that passed this weekend, and a huge part of the public had seen them often on stage.

We pay tribute to their contributions to our great music

MC Fats your voice will continue to influence all future Junglists

Peace, Love & Unity was the last song DJ G-Saims played during his B2B set with MEGO last week at the closing of Drum & Beer #6 – Dark Edition @ Café Central ; and Drop it down has been a classic of ours since the very beginning.

So, where’s the Drum & Bass at this weekend ?

We’ll be going to Amsterdam for The Jungle Weekender Amsterdam • 10-13 March 2023 – I think we found paradise ; Jungle, DnB, Reggae, small event, boat parties during the day, and sponsored by MR NICE + several coffeeshops !

In Belgium, of course there’s RAMPAGE WEEKEND 2023: TOTAL TAKEOVER in Antwerp, and not much else, because well there’s Rampage and it’s so big ! This time it’s a special edition, on friday they take over the 10 biggest clubs in the city, each curated by a specific partner, with a specific vibe ; some dnb, some dubstep. Then Saturday is at their usual location, the Sportpaleis, which is huge and usually features one of the most impressive light shows. But it’s only one stage which alternates between dnb and dubstep.

So besides that, there’s HOSPICE RECORDS X JARDIN W/ MASHUP BUSINESS • 11/03 in centrum Brussels, with some of Brussels’ best and most experienced jungle DJs.

And not too far, there’s ■ FROM RIJSEL WITH LUV # 9 ■ in Lille, France. Looks like the vibe will be Deep DnB.

So this weekend there’s more Drum & Bass in Brussels and Belgium !

Friday there’s Blanquette and Bass #4 in Auderghem, looks like that’s gonna be sightly more on the dark side. I plan on going to check the place out

There’s also De Kosmo :: Drum and Bass Night 3 in Geel.

Saturday there’s Saintklet present: Mentality x Amen , right next to Yser metro station, which is clearly going to be on the dark side of jungle

Sadly, we’ll have to miss that one, as we have been planning to go to High Rollerz: Medusa’s drum&bass maze for a long time. This one is close to Antwerp, and has liquid, deep and jump up on the menu

There’s also 15 Years of Monkey Business in Ghent, which is going to be more ragga jungle, and

Grand Theft Audio: Bruges City Stories | A DNB CONCEPT , also in Ghent.

Enjoy your weekend,

Peace, Love, Unity & Respect

See you on the dancefloor

A huge thank you to everyone who came to Drum & Beer #6 – Dark Edition @ Café Central

The place was packed, the vibes in the public were awesome, full of love and respect, all of the sets were out of this world

Cynical Gene Dnb opened with pure fire, vibrating between Deep DnB and Old School Techstep And you were already there in numbers, completely filling the Café Central for his set

Boycot_dnb & Madlock performed a very varied set, with some Ragga Jungle and liquid vibes, mixed with a lot of Deep and some Neuro. It was damn heavy

Whyam’me & DJ Seka surprised us with an explosion of Neurofunk and scratching. We really felt all the preparation that went into their set

DJ G-Saims & MEGO rocked the last set but were forced had to stop earlier than announced

We have to acknowledge the slight lack of bass at our party, we did our best to tweak their sound system, but couldn’t get more bass out of it than what we got. We were very surprised that the café’s sound engineer left at 10pm, right when we started, and did not give us any way of managing the sound to ensure a good balance of highs, mids and lows.

Next time, we promise to plan ahead to make sure there is plenty bass

We will post pictures and videos of the party on our page as soon as we gathered and sorted them. If you took a few good ones, don’t hesitate to send them to us we might publish them on our page too

Second artist announcement

————————————————

Boycot and Madlock came up in the scene at the same time, going to raves in the early 00’s. After a while, Boycot joined the ‘Liquid Flavaz’ radioshow which Madlock was hosting a the time. This resulted in the best drum and bass radio show on the best radio channel in the world: Urgent.fm.

Their love and knowledge for drum and bass goes broad and deep. Their selection is full-inclusive: oldtimers and fresh underground talent, cheesy vs dead serious – everything and anything goes.

Madlock, an avid wine connoisseur, blends the finest tracks in a bubbling mix – leaving a fresh after touch for the ravers. He reads a crowd and delivers a tailor-made mix for each dancefloor. Boycot’s focus on producing has resulted in high profile releases on Break’s Symmetry Recordings and Midas Touch – to name a few. This has brought him to play in Fuse Brussels and Humanoid Berlin.

Madlock and Boycot recently saw their work rewarded with a massive set on Star Warz – supporting S.P.Y. and LSB.

They are going to bring their Ghent swagger to BXL, expect some heavy brewing!

————————————————

Boycot et Madlock sont arrivés sur la scène drum & bass à la même époque, en fréquentant les raves du début des années 2000. Boycot rejoint par la suite l’émission de radio “Liquid Flavaz” que Bram animait à l’époque. Ainsi est née la meilleure émission radio de drum & bass sur la meilleure chaîne de radio du monde : Urgent.fm. Leur amour et leur connaissance de la drum & bass sont vastes et profonds. Leur sélection ne fait aucune impasse : des plus anciens aux plus récents talents de l’underground, du kitsch à l’ultra-sérieux – tout est permis.

Madlock, en fin connaisseur de vin, mélange les meilleurs morceaux en un mix pétillant – laissant aux raveurs une note de fraîcheur en bouche. Il lit la foule du coin de l’oeil et façonne un mix unique à chaque évènement.

Le temps consacré par Boycot à la production a donné lieu à des sorties remarquées sur le label de Break ; Symmetry Recordings, sur Midas Touch, ainsi que sur plusieurs autres labels. Cela l’a amené à jouer au Fuse à Bruxelles et à l’Humanoid à Berlin.

Madlock et Boycot ont vu leur travail récompensé lors de la dernière Star Warz, où ils ont fait un méga set en première partie de S.P.Y. et LSB.

Ils amènent leur swag gantois à BX, attendez-vous à du lourd !

————————————————

Boycot & Madlock leerden elkaar kennen in de rave scene van de vroege jaren 00. Na een tijdje vervoegde Boycot de ‘Liquid Flavaz’ radioshow, waar Madlock host was. Zo verzorgden zij jaar na jaar het beste drum and bass radioprogramma op de beste radiozender ter wereld: Urgent.fm.

Hun kennis en liefde voor drum and bass gaat breed en diep. Hun selectie is bijgevolg volledig inclusief: oude tracks en underground talent, cheesy en bloedserieus – alles kan.

Madlock, een passioneel wijnkenner, mixt the beste tracks in een sprankelende mix – met een frisse toch voor elke raver. Hij slaagt erin elke mix op maat te maken van elke dansvloer.

Boycot’s focus ligt al een tijdje op het producen van drum and bass, met als resultaat een aantal dikke releases op Break’s Symmetry recordings en Midas’ Touch recordings.… Hij speelde al ten dans in Fuse Brussel en Humanoid Berlijn.

Madlock & Boycot zagen laatst hun toewijding beloond met een massive set op Star Warz, als support van o.a. S.P.Y. en LSB.

Ze brengen hun Gentse swagger naar Brussel, hou je vast voor een paar XXL beats!
