Apparently Drum and Bass is one of the toughest genres to become an expert mixer in. So Ellaskins gives us a short tutorial to help you budding DnB DJ’s make it seem easy!

Dropping tunes with heavy basslines will often make DJ’s real popular with the crowd on a night out, and there is no genre more guilty of this than, of course, Drum and Bass. If you want to play some DnB or Dubstep in your sets, here are some tracks you might want to have up your sleeve!

Twin Galaxies -- The Upbeats Remix

Bass Head -- Bassnectar

Skitz -- Struggla (feat Kardinal Offishall Rodney P -- Engine-Earz Remix) 320

Back in the day, the DJ used to be the saviours of unsigned artists. If you were trying to make it as an artist, being chummy with a DJ was a sure fire way of getting your tracks played to the masses. We want to give that power back to the DJ, so once a month we will be featuring a hot unsigned artist bringing fresh tunes!

Dialektiks, made up of EMCEE Newspeak (London based) and Producer Decksterous (Atlanta, Georgia) are a UK Hiphop duo who solely collaborate over the Internet. Their mixtape ‘Who Is This?’ blends intelligent rap lyrics seamlessly with electronic, rock, dance, party and soul influenced tracks.
