'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from AARON JAY (Celebrating 15 Years of Influence Records) - March 29, 2023





On WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29th, STUNNA closes out the month in 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio with a very special return visit from seasoned DJ AARON JAY, as he unveils a brand new DRUM+BASS mix celebrating 15 years of his UK-based INFLUENCE RECORDS imprint.

STUNNA recently caught up with AARON to discuss music, life, and all things INFLUENCE RECORDS...

• Originally launched in 2008 as a vinyl imprint, your label, INFLUENCE RECORDS, really hit the ground running from the start, showcasing a truly global lineup of Drum+Bass producers. With names in its first dozen releases by the likes of BROTHER, RAW Q, ICR, SINISTARR, KJELL, BAL, DATA, DAVE OWEN, EVESON, SOUL INTENT, MR JOSEPH, and RANDOM MOVEMENT, you seemed to tap into a new class of burgeoning artists that have since gone on to become quite established acts in many corners of the larger bass music scene. Fifteen years later, in a vastly more digital music landscape, how has your approach adapted or changed in terms of signing and releasing music?

"It's harder now because finding artists on the internet or through social is a minefield. You’ve essentially got to find the DJs, producers and labels you love and follow everything they do so you’re on the pulse. You blink, you miss something. Back in the day, we all had AIM and I would come home at the end of the day, and I would have 150-200 tracks from producers from all over the world. Those days are gone, and you’ve got to reach out to artists, remind them who you are, and then go from there. That being said, the quality now is just incredible and finding music that suits the label in some ways is easier because there’s more choice or an excellent standard – we’re definitely in a golden era again where creative ideas are met with high production standards."

• Your tenure as a resident at FABIO’s famed ‘SWERVE’ night in LONDON in the 2000s must have kept you on your toes in terms of culling fresh new music for each session to play for educated club regulars. Did the continuous access to producers’ unreleased tracks eventually spark a desire to start your own label?

"Yeah, I mean that place was like a mecca for music in the 00’s. Everyone wanted a piece of FABIO. He was on BBC RADIO 1 (pre-digital stations), leading DRUM+BASS through a golden era of LIQUID FUNK and 'SWERVE' was this place where everyone wanted to be and be seen. Everyone from MARCUS INTALEX, SHY FX, GOLDIE, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, to TONY COLMAN (LONDON ELEKTRICITY) would just rock up, grab a drink, network and party. I got to meet and got to know loads of heads. It was a mid-week club night so it wasn’t just a normal weekend crowd. This was for your die-hard D+B heads and they kept you on your toes because they knew their shit.

The INFLUENCE label came about after I became friends with STEVE LYNX, and he played me what was an early version of 'DISCO DODO'. He actually gave me the first version of it at 'SWERVE' whilst I was on the decks. I dropped it, and it of course went off. FABIO rocked up sometime later and we had our usual chat before he went on the decks, and I was like: ‘Yo, FABS, you need to check this tune LYNX has done. I played it tonight and wow, went off!' Next day FABIO messaged me like ‘Yo, lock it down, I’ve signed it for CREATIVE SOURCE.' When it finally got released and I saw how well it did, I was kicking myself that it slipped through my fingers, but I wasn’t in a position to release it myself. The following week, I called SRD and arranged a meeting to discuss my idea for my label INFLUENCE RECORDS. After that, all the unreleased music I had started to become really exciting: I could do something with it. The rest is history."

• While each of the artists on INFLUENCE has their own unique, signature production sound, I personally have noticed throughout the years that each new release has been congruent to the last: an organic mixture of Techno-influenced elements. This progression seemed to be encapsulated succinctly in 2022’s ‘AARON JAY Presents: DIARIES FROM DETROIT CITY’ compilation. This finely-curated collection of tracks showcased offerings from LYNX, BUNGLE, SEBA, EASY, CONRAD SUBS, FLACO and more. Do you plan on continuing this series in the future?

"You’re right, and it’s been a bit of a conscious effort from me to have that sound in there. I’ve always loved D+B, but I think when I heard early INTALEX, my love deepened. Like many, his original tracks and releases on his SOUL:R label defined a new type of D+B. When he passed a few years ago, coupled with the slow down of output from CREATIVE SOURCE, I felt a responsibility to keep the LIQUID sound I’ve always loved alive and wanted to make sure I included that sound more heavily going forwards. This timed with me restarting the label and getting more involved in the scene again, so I had a clear direction where I wanted to take the label and I have just stuck to my guns. I don’t know if I’ll do another DETROIT style album again, but future releases on the label will still have those flavours. I’ve just finished working with FLACO and BUNGLE (separately) on two double EPs, and they are in the same vein. I think you’ll like them, I’ve included a lot of them on this mix."

• In 2015, you welcomed J:SKEPTIK to INFLUENCE RECORDS as label manager. Are you both involved in signing new artists and music, or do you each have specific roles in the general day-to-day running of the label?

"J is amazing! He’s a brilliant DJ and his knowledge of the scene and tunes is crazy. I mostly take care of A&R: finding the artists/tunes and briefing them on ideas for tunes, EPs, remix projects and generally steering the sound of the label. J’s my second pair of ears and handles artists relations like contracts and organises the release schedule, liaising with SRD on releases and exclusive partnerships, as well as making sure the designer does our artwork on time. He has a lot to do and loves being part of the label. I’m dyslexic and organisation skills are not my strength so I really couldn’t have the level of output we do if J wasn’t helping to drive the releases out the door. He’s a great label manager. Also shout to STEVE LYNX who masters all our releases. He’s a good guy to have on your team!"

• Can you give us a preview of what to look out for from the label throughout 2023 and into the future?

"INFLUENCE turns 15 this year and I’m slowly building up tracks for a celebratory album which should come out later this year. I’ve just signed new artists to the label including FLUIDITY, InsideMan, Sl8r, and MOTIV, as well as working with some of my more established artists like EASY, BUNGLE, FLACO, A-AUDIO, L-SIDE and LYNX.

I’ve got new material coming out from HLZ, a remix from ZERO T, BUNGLE's 'UNDER INFLUENCE EP Part 2,' the 'FIRE EP 2,' a two-part EP from FLACO ('4 TO THE FLOOR'), a killer single from A-AUDIO and JAYBEE, and so much more. It’s exciting times as every release feels special. It’s great to be in that place where the quality just feels organic and consistent.

Big shout to STUNNA for having me again – also, J:SKEPTIK, my wife BECKY and my kids AVA and PHIN, all the artists on my label, FABIO for the continued supprort, Voicemc (my favourite MC right now), and all those that make it happen behind the scenes at SRD. I hope you enjoy my mix!"

"I was born in a small town near SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIA. Since childhood, I was interested in music as a listener. I spent all my pocket money on CDs and audio cassettes. I liked to listen to IDM, HIP HOP, soulful and atmospheric DRUM+BASS, JUNGLE, DRUMFUNK, FUNK, JAZZ and DISCO music. When I was 18 years old, I started to make music and buy vinyl.

In MAY 2016, I launched my own vinyl and digital record label DISSYMMETRICAL MUSIC. To date, the imprint has released one cd, six vinyl offerings, and thirty digital releases (with a 31st now in the making)."

In this week's edition, Stunna welcomes back established producer and DJ nCamrgo as he returns with an exclusive guest mix in support of his brand new 'Blossom' LP released this month on his very own NCounter Music label.

Since his birth in 1994, Brazilian-based nCamargo (aka Nicolas Camargo) has surrounded himself with a vast array of musical influences. Discovering a focused interest in electronic music in 2000, a few years of development and exposure would lead him toward a genre that fascinated him: Drum+Bass music. Being an avid listener of Bassdrive radio around the year 2009 would eventually lead to his entrance to the D+B production ring in 2010.

With a burgeoning discography of finely-tuned, polished productions, nCamargo has developed his own sound in the past thirteen years and turned a lot of discerning heads his way during the process. With successfuly releases on high-profile labels such as AGN7 Audio, Celsius, Chronic, Fokuz, Liquid Drops, Lunar Records, Offworld, Prestige Music, Soul Deep, V Recordings, and Weapons Of Choice, 2023 sees nCamargo release a new album on his NCounter Music imprint.

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from SILENCE GROOVE - December 14, 2022





On WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14th, STUNNA presents another very special edition of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio. In this week's installment, STUNNA welcomes back talented producer and DJ SILENCE GROOVE, as he unveils a brand new guest mix created exclusively for this program.

Born and bred in the Central European country of POLAND (and now based in BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA), SILENCE GROOVE's love of electronic music began at an early age when his father introduced him to the intriguing sounds of KRAFTWERK, VANGELIS, and TANGERINE DREAM. In 2010, at the age of 18, he signed his first PROGRESSIVE TRANCE EP titled 'SHINY SNOW' to UNEARTHED RECORDINGS. His initial work in the TRANCE music scene garnered rave reviews, international exposure and recognition from scene luminaries PAUL VAN DYKE, ANDY MOOR, MATT DAREY, and ARMIN VAN BUUREN.

In 2011, he was inspired by the innovative sounds of producers FUTURE ENGINEERS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and ELECTROSOUL SYSTEM to take his first steps into throwing his proverbial hat into the DRUM+BASS production ring. Collaborating with fellow countryman SKELETONE, the pair released their debut 'LOVE YOU LOSE' EP on the revered SOUL DEEP RECORDINGS imprint and followed up with successful offerings for the BASSDRIVE TUNES and OFFWORLD RECORDINGS music labels.

Since then, SILENCE GROOVE has continued to feature on a selection DRUM+BASS music's most prestigious labels, including HOSPITAL, INTEGRAL RECORDS, and DOC SCOTT's 31 RECORDINGS imprint (with his newest 'AUGUST RUSH' EP alongside ARP NOVA). His productions reflect the influences of various electronica genres, ranging from DOWNTEMPO, AMBIENT, to TECHNO. His unique style takes inspiration from artists in the scene such as CALIBRE, COMMIX, SEBA, LOGISTICS, and TECHNICOLOUR, among others. Sustained atmospheres, wistful arrangements, minor-chord-based hypnotic hooks and intricate breakbeat work are the staples of his sound. Carefully selected organic samples and imaginative synth work are fused together to create rich soundscapes that function well both in a club and home listening setting. His latest batch of music demonstrates an accomplished understanding of the genre through its stripped back subtleties and understated intricacies.

Join us this session as SILENCE GROOVE delivers a new guest mix featuring some of his favorite tracks doing the rounds worldwide. Tune in!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from THE PLATFORM PROJECT - November 16, 2022





On WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16th, STUNNA presents another special edition of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio. During this week's session, we're treated to an exclusive guest mix from seasoned selector DJ PI from THE PLATFORM PROJECT.

Northern UK-based DJ PI (aka SIMON BLUNDEN) started his journey as a DJ in the late '90s, after falling in love with DRUM+BASS music when he heard LTJ BUKEM's 'LOGICAL PROGRESSION' mix for the first time. That love of the LIQUID/INTELLIGENT side of D+B has never left him. Even now, he still favors productions that have musicality and soul, but he's never shy to mix things up a bit as well.

After becoming a bit jaded by the scene in the late 2010s, he began a project called "SECRET SOUNDCLOUD." It began as a series of 30-minute mixes, around 12 tracks, but all unreleased productions from a multitude of talented, emerging artists, trying to get their music heard. This built a solid following over a couple of years, and he was pleased to be invited by long-time friend JIMMY DARK to join him on BASSPORT.FM with a monthly show. After much thought, they came up with the name THE PLATFORM PROJECT, as it encapsulated the ethos of the show: showcasing the lesser-known, up-and-coming, emerging artists and labels. When BASSPORT.FM closed shop after a five year run, DJ PI was pleased to hook up with SCOTT ALLEN (founder of the venerable imrpint SOUL DEEP RECORDINGS), a former guest on the show, and he suggested DJ PI should contact the crew at FUTURE SOUNDS RADIO.

You can now catch DJ PI on tha airwaves as THE PLATFORM PROJECT presents its 2 hour show from 8pm GMT every last SATURDAY of the month on FUTURESOUNDSRADIO.COM.

Join us this edition as DJ PI from THE PLATFORM PROJECT graces the decks with a special guest set created specificually for this broadcast. Tune in!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from DJ ESSAY - August 17, 2022





On WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17th, STUNNA presents another special session in 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio. In this week's installment, making his sixth appearance on the program, long-time vinyl curator and specialist DJ ESSAY returns with an exclusive guest mix crafterd especially for this show.

Intrigued by the burgeoning productions of JUNGLE/DRUM+BASS in the early 1990's, DJ ESSAY obtained his first pair of TECHNICS turntables in 1994, purchased a grip of 40 plates in the scene's hub of LONDDON, ENGLAND, and was instantly hooked on the format of vinyl. Continuing his journey through the '90s as a wax addict, ESSAY teamed up with an MC and explored a mosaic of SOUL, FUNK, and NEW JAZZ sounds. The early 2000's saw ESSAY launch his growing collection and love for analog synthesizers' endless sonic capabilities in the electronic music arena. With exposure to numerous performances from DRUM+BASS scene luminaries LTJ BUKEM and STORM around NUREMBERG, GERMANY clubs and venues, ESSAY affirmed his strong-rooted connection to the cutting-edge sounds of D+B, fresh from the scene's epicenter of the UNITED KINGDOM.

Please join us this for the broadcast as DJ ESSAY drops a brand new, all-vinyl set during the program. Tune in!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from KOLA NUT - August 10, 2022





On WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10th, STUNNA presents another special edition of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio. In this installment, we see the welcome return of seasoned DJ and producer KOLA NUT to the show, as he presents a brand new guest mix during the program.

UK-based artist KOLA NUT (aka GREG PARKINSON) has been an active DJ for over two decades, specializing in DRUM+BASS/JUNGLE and occasionally turning his hand to UK GARAGE, HIP HOP, REGGAE, HOUSE and DISCO music. After throwing his hat into the production ring alongside REPERTOIRE's head honcho LAW, the pair had their first release as a team on the SILENT FORCE imprint in SEPTEMBER 2018, quickly followed in OCTOBER with their sophomore release on sister label SONIC FORCE. The STRICTLY NU-SKOOL Blog described their work as: "LAW and KOLA NUT nail that iconic atmospheric JUNGLE sound as championed by labels such as LUCKY SPIN, GOOD LOOKING and STREET BEATS, circa 1994-1995, whilst injecting a touch of 2018 production skills into the formulae."

Since his last visit to 'THE GREENROOM' program, KOLA NUT has moved his production and DJ games forward, with releases on REPERTOIRE's sister label R-WHITES (Volune 1 & Volume 2), MEDITATOR, FUTURE RETRO LONDON, another SONIC FORCE offering, and a burgeoning livestream show on his TWITCH channel. You can catch KOLA NUT's lively sessions every MONDAY + WEDNESDAY at 9PM UK, and FRIDAY at 1pm UK.

Join us this session as KOLA NUT unveils a guest mix full of exclusive and upfront tracks from producers around the globe. Tune in!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from SECTION - June 29, 2022





On WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29th, STUNNA closes out an action-packed month of broadcasts of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE radio. In this week's installment, we turn our attention to talented DJ and producer SECTION, as he presents a special guest mix in support of his upcoming debut album 'THE FOURTH HOUR.'

Hailing from WORTHING, UK, SECTION (aka JAMES BARCLAY) began his journey as a DJ in 1997, and has been fortunate to play across the UK, NEW YORK CITY, MIAMI, and PORTUGAL. SECTION starting making beats in 2006 and eventually released tracks in 2011. He's had several releases across the scene’s biggest labels including: DREAD, SKELETON RECORDINGS, SERIAL KILLAZ, AUDIO ADDICT, DEEP IN THE JUNGLE, and DIRECTORS CUT. In 2017, he launched his own label, LOCKED UP MUSIC, which has since garnered positive support from all corners of the scene. SECTION’s forthcoming LP 'THE FOURTH HOUR' is set drop on JULY 8th via PORTUGUESE imprint COUNTERPOINT RECORDINGS. Creation of the 12 track album was born out of a very challenging time for SECTION, who works for the NHS as a physiotherapist. At the inception of the LP, he was redeployed to work on COVID ICU to support hospital staff who were overwhelmed by the DELTA VARIANT. Creating the album acted as a tonic for SECTION, who wanted to create a piece of art that explored both the light and the dark of the daily challenges he faced.

Please join us this session as SECTION presents an exclusive set featuring some of his favorite tracks doing the rounds worldwide. Tune in!

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from CLEN (Smooth N Groove Records) - May 18, 2022





On WEDNESDAY, MAY 18th, STUNNA presents another special installment of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE radio. During this week's session, STUNNA welcomes DJ and SMOOTH N GROOVE RECORDS co-label manager CLEN to the program for an exclusive guest mix.

Located just north of WASHINGTON, D.C., CLEN found a love of music at an early age, quickly finding an affinity for electronic music (DRUM AND BASS, TRANCE, CHILL, BREAKS, and more) through his teenage years. Fate would find him having a run-in with the melodic/liquid/classic atmospheric side of DRUM AND BASS and he began to dedicate his musical time devoted to the scene. Beginning in his early 20s, he started creating his weekly mixes "FRESH OFF THE DECKS," which eventually lead to the creation of SMOOTH N GROOVE RECORDS with ChRiStAL. A few years on now, he is finding just as much passion and enjoyment for music as ever, continuing to progress SMOOTH N GROOVE RECORDS with his label partner, supporting new talent, and witnessing the progression of the genre.

A few words from the man himself...

"The past few years have been quite a musical journey of its own as many things simultaneously are happening both with music and my own tastes. For one, the amount of talent new and old that is being pushed and progressed is absolutely incredible. Veterans of the scene are doing better than ever, and every day there is a new talent that is astonishing. Additionally, the amount of knowledge, technology, and well-known producers providing their experience to others on a wide format continues to push the scene onwards and upwards. Nowadays, you can really feel the influence of both a lighter touch and darker side in many tunes. For example, you can hear a real LIQUID track with some darker breaks throughout the track. Not only that, but other genres seem to be crossroading more and more. On SMOOTH N GROOVE RECORDS, we're continuing to see how we can better support the artists we've been signing including touching the vinyl side of things, and we're always on the lookout for new artists. I think one of the best things I've enjoyed about mixing or doing the SMOOTH N GROOVE podcasts, music-wise, is working with the integration of both lighter and darker tracks to create an experience, a story of sorts, for the listeners. ChRiStAL and I are continuing to work every day on the label, as we have a new SoulStructure + Friends vs SOUL DEEP vs SMOOTH N GROOVE event in the UK in JUNE, new vinyl lined up and on the way, 'HIDDEN IN THE CRATES VOL. 4' compilation under development, merchandise coming, the new BANDCAMP page up, and also an ever-growing and evolving lineup of talented producers. Shouts to all the fans and everyone involved on all levels of the music."

Please join us as CLEN presents a guset set crafted especially for this session. Tune in!
