rhythm86
April 20, 2023
It’s been about eight months since Native Instruments announced the Traktor Pro Plus subscription in August 2022. Traktor DJs hoping for new hardware or some next-level software features instead got another subscription sales pitch. At least the $4.99-a-month (or $49 annually) was an optional and relatively low-priced subscription for accessing add-on and early features. Its […]

DT887 – Crusy
16 September 2024 - Grahame Farmer
To speak about Crusy is to mention one of Spain’s more influential artists of recent years. 
The Madrid based artist started his journey back in 2011, mixing his first records and exploring his own productions at only 15 years old, even at that age he was already captivated by electronic dance music. 
Crusy drops his biggest record yet on Toolroom! 
This Spanish superstar in the making has been on a meteoric rise since his Toolroom Trax release ‘Selecta’ blew him up on dance floors across the World in 2022 with support from Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli & John Summit.

Crusy · Hey Girls, B-Boys (Extended Mix)Since then, he has signed with Toolroom management and is releasing frequently on Defected, Claptone’s Golden Recordings and Danny Howard’s Nothing Else Matters whilst collaborating with the likes of HUGEL, Dombresky and Low Steppa racking up an impressive 20m streams in the process. His diary is jam-packed with shows all over the world including USA, Ibiza, Mexico, Canada and more.
This record hits that sweet spot where the underground meets the accessible. A peak-time, acid-laced Tech House roller that borders on Techno at times, with that ‘Hey Boy, Hey Girl’ vocal sample made famous by The Chemical Brothers in 1999. A DJ’s dream record, this is a huge moment for Crusy!
Today, he joins us on the podcast for the first time. Listen to it below, on Mixcloud or iTunes here.

Data Transmission · DT887 – CrusySum up this podcast in 10 words…
Where every legend ever has presented their fresh new music.

What’s your personal favorite track on it?
Definitely my last single on Toolroom, Hey Girls B-Boys. One of my personal favorite productions.

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
Pretty much everything you can listen is mine, or edited by myself. I like to keep my mixes very personal, and with a variety of genres through it.

Tell us about your next release.
It is called Hey Girls, B-Boys, it’s out now on Toolroom and features the iconic vocal that Chemical Brothers made big in their single back in the 90s. It’s something underground but accessible at the same time, and the support is actually being insane, from Patrick Topping, to Meduza, to Adam Beyer… I’m so thankful to have all these massive plays on it! 

What have you got coming up?
I’m pretty excited! Loads of shows till January, almost full agenda to be honest, and preparing a big start of the next year with two strong releases on Toolroom, together with two big remixes to Gene Farris & Roland Clark to name a few. Both are in the mix btw!

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Go for your dreams. Few years ago I was struggling to put my music out & have gigs, and yesterday closed Amnesia Terrace with Claptone at The Masquerado. Things are closer than they look, put your head down and work for it! Pleasure to be here buddies, best!

Dunk & DJ Zent Unite on the ‘Ready When You Are’ EP on DreambassUK Records
16 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds
DreambassUK Records are back with a bang as they prepare to drop the ‘Ready When You Are’ EP from label owner Dj Zent and master of the Minimal Drum & Bass sound, Dunk. 
Dunk and Dj Zent cook up something special with this blend of two unique styles. Dunk, from Brazil, brings his minimal mastery, while Zent, based in Manchester, delivers precision. Together, they’ve crafted a four-part EP featuring two collabs and two individual tracks, giving you a glimpse into their creative minds. This EP fuses Dunk’s atmospheric sound with Zent’s forward-thinking bass design. Could this be the start of something big? That’s up to you!
Dunk & Dj Zent ‘Ready When You Are’
This one wastes no time! ‘Ready When You Are’ is a powerful track that kicks off the EP with hypnotic soundscapes leading to an explosive drop. The top-end reverb on the bass is spot on, smoothly transitioning into a heavy bass response. After the break, the track evolves with new bass variations and some fresh surprises.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqT26Mf5kUc?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

Dunk & Dj Zent ‘Yessur
With Dunk’s signature ominous intro and rolling sub-bass, Zent’s progressive bass work adds depth. Each drop ups the energy, with fresh drum shuffles and bass grooves leading into a standout breakdown. ‘Yessur’ has the team’s favourite breakdown of the EP—it brings that euphoric dance-floor vibe every time.
Dj Zent ‘Vibes’
Zent delivers another gem, mixing emotional synths and pads with a rolling sub-bass groove and hard-hitting bass stabs. As the track progresses, so do the melodies, grooves, and overall vibes. Vibes lifts you up and gently brings you back down to earth.
Dunk ‘Rolling’
Dunk’s signature style is clear here. ‘Rolling’ starts with catchy two-bar melodic grooves and leads smoothly to the drop. This atmospheric journey is full of foley, pads, and cinematic touches. After the break, there’s a fresh switch-up with exciting new bass elements to keep things interesting.
DreambassUK Records is a family-run label and events collective, founded in April 2022 by Dj Zent. His vision brought together a fantastic team, shaping it into what it is today.
Mark Track and D-Zire, both experienced Drum & Bass artists, are part of the crew. Elinor, an integrative counsellor, supports inclusivity and helps connect the world of mental health with Drum & Bass. The team believes there’s a strong link between mental health and Drum & Bass and aims to bring that connection to the forefront of the scene.
DreambassUK Records is here to empower anyone making great Drum & Bass music, with a diverse group of artists from all backgrounds and places.
Today we premiere Dj Zent ‘Vibes’ which you can check out below. The EP drops this Thursday, 19th September. You can get your hands on a copy here!

Cinithe remixes Qess ‘It’s Always Been There’ due on Poker Flat
16 September 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Qess returns with a standout release on the legendary Poker Flat Recordings, Steve Bug’s long-running hub for deep and techy house. Known for his deep, melodic productions, the London-based DJ/producer brings us “It’s Always Been There”—a smooth and vibey track that flows effortlessly from start to finish.
But what really turns heads here is the remix from Berlin legend Cinthie. Adding her signature touch, she brings a tougher edge to the original, injecting powerful chords and a whole lot of energy. Cinthie’s remix takes the deep, introspective vibe of Qess’s track and elevates it, making it perfect for the peak-time dance floor.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss3EtQzs7TM?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

A key figure in Berlin’s club scene, she’s the head of 803 Crystal Grooves and We_R House. Her remix style blends classic house elements with a modern twist, and here, she adds just the right amount of punch to take Qess’s original track to a new level.
Qess, who previously released a collab with Ursula Rucker on Mobilee back in 2020, once again showcases his ability to create immersive, melodic house tracks. But this time, it’s Cinthie’s remix that adds a new dimension—fusing the emotional depth of the original with driving, energetic beats.
If you’re a fan of deep house with a techy edge, “It’s Always Been There” and Cinthie’s remix are must-haves. Get ready to dive into a release that’s both vibey and powerful, reminding us why Poker Flat continues to set the standard in house music.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaBqFtw0Pkg?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

After all, who can truly say no to carnival?
The energy of “Carnival Fever” is driven by striking drum and percussion elements that pay homage to the themes of carnival and samba, amplified by a rhythmic bassline that adds a sense of movement and energy throughout.
