The Hornets Nest

Episode 20 of S2, so many streams! Recorded on 18/4 this is a solid rinnnnseout session of Drum and Bass. Not much more to say about it. Great tunes, good chat as usual, ended on a classic Jeru the Damaja cut. Heat!

Hi podcast gang. A wicked stream this one! I went from tranthems to old school rave to new school dnb and the bants was on point as usual. Some of my favourite tunes across a bunch of genres here, you will love it! I talked about the Aussie version of Burger King called Hungry Jacks, about an old school warehouse rave I went to and about lots of music. Good times :)

A solid dnb rinse this edition! I dip back into the mid 00's and throw down a few North American dnb dubplates from back in the day. A few unreleased versions and demo mixes of tunes you may remember.  Good times, good chat, good tunes! Music by : Hochi, Infiltrata, Hive, Fission, DKay, Concord Dawn, Baron, B Rok, Chris. Su, Pacific, yeah yeah yeah!

All Pendulum mix! I turned on the stream with no plans to do this but suddenly felt the urge to play a set entirely of Pendulum records. 2003-2021, here we go!

Back after a little podcast upload hiatus. Lots of dnb this round and some hilarity in the chat as usual. I dug back through some unreleased North American dnb from the mid 00's from Corrupt Souls, B Rok, Evol Intent, Pacific then rounded it out with some choice 2021 cuts. Good times!!

What an amazing stream this was. Super melodic and mellow vibes from the get go. I decided to kick this off on quite a deep tip with some 4 Hero, Flytronix and Burial. While I was playing a Thunderball tune the legend DJ QBert popped into the chat and then hosted my stream over on his own twitch channel - then started scratching over my set, what a rush! I had no idea it was going on until I finis...

100% Drum and Bass rinse for this edition of The Hornets Nest, recorded on 23th of March 2021.  I couldn't see the chat so I just shut my gob and played some hot dnb records. It was a vibe!! Hornet OUT.

Oi oi Monday madness! Recorded on 22nd of March this is a good mix through the genres and ages! Loads of new DNB and everything else too. Threw the kitchen sink at this one, moist gang was super lively in the chat and a good time was had by all. Another 'cast coming straight after this one too so don't delay - wrap your ears around this session quick smart. Hornet out!

A wonderful Tuesday night stroll through the world of jungle music! Featuring some of my favourite cuts from 1994/1995, the first hour of this stream was an impromptu dig into the vinyl vaults and I threw down the black plastic plates as they came out of the racks! Some wondeful historical sounds from Congo Natty, Tenor Fly, Urban Shakedown, L Double, Torchman, Kenny Ken,  Dr S Gachet and other le...

A bit of a 'beefa session this one! From new DNB to Moombahton to Tech House to Deep House to old school hardcore classics, this one has it all! Lots of stories about raving in a forest with Paris Hilton and getting into mad ones on the white island of Ibiza. Great session! 

It's a long one! Huge stream this week with loads of new records and some old ones too. I also read out a bunch of amazingly long winded promo blurbs that DJ's get sent with new releases and hilarity ensues. Been a little absent with the uploads here but I've got a load ready to go so hold tight for a barrage! Hornet OUT.

A super fun midweek session digging into the happiest of hardcore. Tunes from Brisk, Luna C, Fat Controller, Srav3r, Darren Styles, Al Storm etc, then I rounded it off with a bunch of cool as hell 1992 classics from 4 Hero, The Smart E's, Danny Breaks, Praga Khan, 2 Bad Mice and so on....'ardcore! 

I was in a hell of a mood so I turned the stream on late Friday night, the 19th of Feb. Playing a DJ set is a wonderful form of therapy for me so I turned off the lights, turned off all the effects and stuff I normally have going on the stream and just played some tunes I love. Kicking things off with some Aussie stuff from The Presets, Muscles, Shazam, Reija, Luke Chable and Bonicci and Empire of...

MAYBE THE BEST ONE YET. This week was all about the NEW NEW! Brand new DNB heat from around the world featuring producers such as Fourward, V O E, Kove, Mozey, Grafix, Killbox, Blanke, Xeomi and Kaiza, Hilleh, MNDSCP, Jade, Malux, Riddim Punks, Cecil Hotel, Gydra etc. So much meaty heat. The chat was litter than a real lit thing and finally I have some new studio monitors so I could actually do so...

Man oh MAN I have some great records for you this week. This stream was a freestlyle jam which began with some of the finest jazzy and liquid tunes in my collection and half way through I took a twist and headed down a more dancefloor banger selection.  Artists like Peshay,  London Electricity, EZ Rollers, Shy FX, J Majik, Blu Sonix, Jonny L, Konflict, Matrix, Chase and Status, Gridlok, Bad Compan...

Rolling through the vinyl racks once again - this is liquid funk Sunday. Pandemic outbreaks, lockdowns, bushfires, ash rain and floods. Western Australia really turned it on this week. The music keeps us sane though right? Jason and Kylie come correct with 7 inches of love to round down a wonderful session revisiting some smoother grooves. Stay moist gang.

EP 3 of the new season of THN! A bitta 'ardcore this one. 93-4 style and a bit of jungle thrown in too. Bbbbbbrock out.

A solid session behind the turntables on this fine Tuesday evening, the 3rd of Feb 2021. Lots of wonderful music and the chat was mad as always. Special love out to Chris Su and his other half Suzy who popped in alongside Canadian  dnb legend Pacific  and the usual gang of deviants. Kicked it off with Moderat and ended with some old heat from Ed Rush and Matrix. Enjoy!

Back at it again for 2021! The Hornets Nest returns from a  festive season hibernation and once again you are hearing the audio from my Twitch stream. There is no schedule for these streams at the moment so make sure to turn your notifications ON in Twitch to catch the stream live. For now - enjoy the audio, this was recorded on Tuesday 2/2/21 and is as loose as it was last year. Hope ya dig it.

This weeks DNB Friday signals the finale of The Hornets Nest as we know it!  Thanks to everyone who has tuned in live on Twitch or caught up with the Podcast edition right here. It's been a wonderful adventure. I started streaming with a $20 webcam sticky taped to a broom handle shortly after Coronavirus took away our ability to play live. Streaming filled a huge gap in my life and allowed me...

A pleasant Friday rinse in the nest taking in some of the freshness out there in DNB world. Special mention must go out to the new Netsky album - man it's good! I lost my mind for a while and was doing some beat juggling with his collab with Urbandawn, forgetting I'm about the worst battle Dj on earth. Oh well! It's Friday, looseness wins. Enjoy!

This is an hour long mix recorded late on a Sunday night as part of Dj Brisk's Raid Train. A 3 day bender of Twitch streams that weaved it's way around the globe with a huge cast of DJ's doing a hour or two and then jumping over to the next person. I decided to go 100% vinyl of some wonderful oldschool UK hardcore classics. Oi oi!! Bigup Dj Brisk for getting me involved. Shouts to a...

This Tuesdays Mountain Terrace session featured a dig back through the DNB vinyl stash, pulling out some classics from artists like Grooverider, Shy FX, Mayhem, Impulse, Ink, Dylan, Konflict, Matrix, Ed Rush and Optical, Dj Zinc, J Majik, Tali and Ray Keith! Lots of great tunes, lots of great people in the chat. Special shouts to all the regulars and to Dj Brisk and Kill The Noise for passing thro...

AFL Grand Final rinse! 90 minutes of pure head down DNB mixing this week. I skip in and out of the last decade of tunes this session with very minimal chat and loads of great music. Apologies for the vulgar intro, it's how it goes sometimes in the chat haha ;)

A real mixed bag this session. 2 hours of multi genre action from the nest from artists like Luke Chable, The Streets, Booka Shade, Plump DJ's, Lee Coombs, Shpongle, 4 Hero, Squarepusher, Teebee and Calyx, Calibre and I rounded it out with the acid classic Are Am Eye by Commander Tom. Good times!
