IN MEMORIAM: DJ Randall: The Godfather of Drum 'n' Bass and Jungle

It’s a sad time for the world of electronic music as we say goodbye to DJ Randall, one of the true pioneers of drum 'n' bass and jungle. Randall was more than just a DJ; he was a legend who helped shape the sound that so many of us love today. He passed away at the age of 54, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered forever. DJ Randall was often called the godfather of breakbeat because of his incredible influence on the genre. He wasn’t just spinning records; he was crafting an entirely new sound that would revolutionize the music scene. Alongside other legends like Fabio and Grooverider, Randall’s innovative techniques pushed jungle music into the spotlight during the 90s. His love for music started when he was just a teenager. He was obsessed with vinyls and turntables, always looking for that perfect beat. His first big break came at the Notting Hill Carnival in 1987, where he performed at an acid house party. From there, he went on to create his unique hardcore-brea...

The 11th edition of Sonus Festival just blow our mind

 The 11th edition of Sonus Festival just wrapped up, and let me tell you—it was an absolute banger from start to finish!  Five days and nights on Croatia’s legendary Zrće Beach, where the beats were so fire even the Adriatic Sea probably started vibing. Over 70 artists took to the decks this year, and it was like a never-ending buffet of electronic music. Now, let's talk weather—because it wouldn’t be a festival without a little rain, right?  But instead of dampening the mood, it turned the whole thing into an epic wet-and-wild rave. Seriously, dancing in the rain at 3 AM was amazing!!! We danced to Veztax’s mind-bending tracks felt like something straight out of a music to our heart and mind. And let’s not forget Robert Hood—he came, he saw, he conquered. His set was so good that people were probably still hearing those beats in their dreams the next night.If there were a gold medal for techno, Hood would’ve taken it home, no contest. This year’s festival also saw a hug...
