'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from AUSTIN SPEED: April 17, 2013





On APRIL 17, 2013, STUNNA presents another very special edition of 'THE GREENROOM.' For this program, we head cross-country over to sunny SAN DIEGO where we tap into the mind of a very talented DJ/producer by the name of AUSTIN SPEED. An active force in the electronic music community for many years, AUSTIN SPEED's productions draw from a vast array of influences and styles. Borrowing pieces of Jungle, Juke, Drum+Bass, Detroit Techno, and early electro, AUSTIN's current musical output fuses these elements together to create something almost entirely new and has gained support from DJs around the globe. His most recently released track entitled 'BACK THE FUCK UP' (co-produced by long-time friend and collaborator CALCULON) was included on BEATPORT's "ON ROTATION" chart and was also featured on ROCKWELL's MINISTRY OF SOUND RADIO show and SHOGUN AUDIO podcast. With a number of strong releases under his belt for esteemed labels such as LOOSE SQUARES, APEX MUSIC, ROGUE DUBS, LIQUID GEOMETRY, and PHUNKFICTION, be on the lookout for a slew of genre-bending, eclectic offerings in the coming months. Tune in as we're treated to a special guest mix from AUSTIN recorded exclusively for 'THE GREENROOM.'

'THE GREENROOM' Spotlight Mix on SUBMORPHICS Vol. 2: April 3, 2013





On WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2013, STUNNA presents the 22nd installment in THE GREENROOM 'SPOTLIGHT MIX' series. This time, we take a second long-form journey into the body of work from one of North America's leading lights in the Drum+Bass scene: SUBMORPHICS. Originally hailing from the DETROIT area, SUBMORPHICS (aka GREG AXELRAD) has made the Windy City of CHICAGO his home base the past few years and we'll take a peek at what he's been up to since the first spotlight mix on his work aired way back in 2007. His solo productions, collaborations, and remixes all carry his signature 'retro soul' sound: a respectful 'nod' to the past, yet grounded by today's polished, production techniques. Having graced many fine labels such as INNERGROUND, HOSPITAL, WESTBAY, SPEARHEAD, RUBIK, THINK DEEP, BIOS, PHUNKFICTION, and BLU SAPHIR, rest assured, he's got plenty more big release news to announce in the coming months. With another transatlantic tour launching as we go to press, be sure to catch him when he comes to town as his DJ skills match his prowess in the studio domain. Tune in this session as we dive back into the creative, progressive, and imaginative mind of SUBMORPHICS.



SUBMORPHICS Spring 2013 UK/EUROPE Tour Dates:

• MARCH 30: LONDON, UK @ PLAN B
• APRIL 05: DEVA, ROMANIA @ FISCHER'S PUB
• APRIL 06: ARAD, ROMANIA @ GRAND BULEVARD

STUNNA Presents the (New) 'Greenroom' Archives





Hey there folks,

Due to POSTBOCKS completely leaving all their customers high + dry with absolutely no formal, professional explanation (and complete site data loss), I've begun to migrate the vast archive of mixes over to my NEW PAGE: www.mixcrate.com/stunnachi --- and although many of the weekly 'Greenroom' shows you've seen in the past will not appear currently, I'm attempting to make that page a permanent home for all the artist 'Spotlight' Mixes I've done over the years as well as having it be an oasis for many other studio mixes and weekly archives. Thanks for your patience as I attempt the daunting task of re-uploading hundreds of hours worth of music as well as clear a path for more up-to-date offerings from the vast catalogue of 'Greenroom,' 'SundayNiteFever,' and studio mix archives!



To kick of the new proceedings, I've re-uploaded all 21 of the 'Greenroom' Spotlight Mixes to date (click on the pic to be taken to the archive page)............

STUNNA 'OPTIMA' [Free Download]




'Tis the season for giving, and as we dive deep into another holiday stretch, I've uploaded yet another FREE track from the archives as a massive 'thank you' to all the followers of my SOUNDCLOUD Page for hitting the 5K mark recently. Written in the summer of 2010, and with lots of support from many DJs globally, 'OPTIMA' still holds a very special place with me and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you. Enjoy.......

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from DYL: December 5, 2012





On DECEMBER 5, 2012, STUNNA presents another very special edition of 'THE GREENROOM.' For this installment, we head all the way to DEVA, ROMANIA where we discover a fresh new talent emerging on the scene. Having only begun producing music professionally since JANUARY, 2012, the artist known as DYL has already made himself a solid fixture within many a 'GREENROOM' set this year. With global support of his creations from the likes of LOXY, GREMLINZ, SUB, CUELOCK, and many more versatile and adventuresome figures, DYL has also busied himself with collaborating with boundary-pushing producers such as BEAT 70, MARUKOMU, and VRH. With a host of releases lined up for imprints such as SYNCOPATHIC, TECH:NOIR, CX, BLUEBERRY MUSIK, BEAT 70 MUSIC, POINT, MONOCHROME, and TYTANIUM ARMOUR, things are just starting to heat up in the budding career of DYL.

Tune is as we're treated to an exclusive guest mix from DYL featuring a number of his own productions as well as plenty of fresh sounds from like-minded producers pushing the deeper and more abstract ends of the DRUM+BASS spectrum.

'THE GREENROOM' Guest Mix from THING: September 26, 2012





On SEPTEMBER 26, 2012, STUNNA presents another very special edition of 'THE GREENROOM.' For this installment, we shift our attention to TARTU, ESTONIA where we find a gifted producer, DJ, and label owner known simply as THING. With his trademark sound culling influences from the mystical, hypnotic world of DUB REGGAE, THING's tireless work in the studio has yielded both a prolific catalogue of solo creations and collaborations as well as the birth of two labels (DUBTHING RECORDS + DEPTHWISE MUSIC) as a means to release his signature brand of music to the masses. Be on the lookout for THING's new album entitled 'FINAL STATEMENTS' (DUBTHING RECORDS) as it hits shops on OCTOBER 10, 2012, as well as new singles dropping each month on his imprints.

Tune is as we're treated to an exclusive guest mix from THING featuring a number of his new solo works alongside plenty of fresh sounds from like-minded producers pushing the dubbier end of the DRUM+BASS spectrum.

SUN+BASS 2012: The Round-Up

After countless times of the words 'next year' passing my lips, I finally made the trek over to San Teodoro, Sardinia, Italy for THE Drum+Bass festival known as 'SUN + BASS' (a week-long, multi-event production featuring Drum+Bass DJs, producers, labels, and fanatics). Taking place September 1st thru 8th, 2012 marked the 9th year of the ever-evolving fest that truly is the mecca for all things D+B. I'm still kicking myself for waiting so long to experience all the great people I met, vibes at each event, and the true beauty of exotic Sardinia. Many thanks to all the organizers of the festival, the BASSDRIVE crew who represented (and partied) 110%, and of course, all the great friends, new and old, that I met. Highlights for me included the METALHEADZ party (completely insane vibes), MARKY + FRIENDS, COMMERCIAL SUICIDE Showcase, the DRS + CALIBRE albums launch party, MARKY + A-SIDES' soul/funk/hip hop set at Bal Harbour, BASSDRIVE Sessions at Ambra Day, both the SAMURAI and closing parties at Ambra Night, and last but certainly not least: the impromptu all-originals sunrise set I played on Ambra beach for the Austrian crew on the final morning of the festival. Here are a few pix to bring back memories.......
