Kilburn Pub Jukebox circa 1978.
This Is Life! Some drum ’n’ bass favourites!
The Hammock Mix. This is the second HouseBreakin’ Mix. The brief set by Tendril was a selection of your favourite tunes to lie in a hammock on some tropical shore watching the sun set. I decided on a selection of old classics from a good few years back which is probably a bit upbeat for lying in a hammock! It’s a good mix though sure to keep your toes tapping!
Doin’ What I Do... Is another selection of tunes taken from way before I decided to have a go at being a Dj. It’s mostly old House and more Techy stuff with a few clangers thrown in for good measure!
City Lights is a mix of some of my favourite House tunes from the last few years. I wanted the mix to have the feel of a night out in the city so get your glad-rags on and get ready to shake your thang...
Deviant is a dark and moody mix inspired by some of the more interesting aspects of human interaction. The mix fuses Dubstep, Techno, House and Breaks to create a world of contrast and paradox that you may or may not like! So would you care to slip into something less comfortable?
Urban11. Us urban75ers occasionally when we can be arsed do a massive cd-mix-swapping exercise where everyone concerned sends out a mix they have done to two complete strangers, and in return recieves two mixes from two complete strangers. The mixes can be as diverse as the compiler likes, and this is my effort from the last run. It covers hip-hop, house, dubstep, breaks and whatnot...
Vestax Blisters is a right old mish-mash of the old and new, to achieve some of the mixes some serious pitch control abuse had to be undertaken in order to shoe-horn the tunes together! It’s another dark selection that includes some lighter moments incuding a silly mash-up of The Sabres of Paradise’s classic Wilmot.
80's Mixtape. Well some of the best new tunes are re-edits and mash-ups of classic old tunes. This is a silly, cheese-ridden bit of fun I did a few years back that will have you wanting to get your flourescent leg-warmers and global-hypercolour t-shirts on. Hitman and Her anyone?
Crystalline. A truly stonkin’ selection of phat nu-skool breaks, and very much a HouseBreakin’ style mix. This really does keep on rockin’ right the way to the end, and should definitely be on your personal music device!
Welcome to DjTAB.net, please feel free to have a good look around!
Good music is the driving force behind DjTAB, and he is just as happy playing Hip-hop as he is Drum ’n Bass, House, Techno or almost any other genre! You will find free mixes to download on the left of this page, and they will be updated regularly.
Yep, HouseBreakin’, TooUP and Abacus are joining forces again to achieve the seemingly impossible! This year we’ll have an even more impressive wall of speakers, along with the cream of London's underground Dj’s spinning phat beats under the stars. More information will be released nearer the time via the facebook event page (Click the artwork) and the HouseBreakin’ party-line and email list.
I recently decided to join the digital age, and be able to have an almost limitless amount and range of music on me at any one time. So a shiny Macbook Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro are now the order of the day; now I can take up to four virtual decks and a dazzling array of digital effects to any party! Because I like to play vinyl, scratch and mess around I use the timecoded vinyl to keep me in touch with the Dj experience I initially fell in love with. It’s a really cool setup, great fun and intuitive to use; it also allows me to stay right up to date with the latest tunes, utilising digital promos released on the Internet weeks or months before vinyl....
Truly stumped I was as I tore off the paper of my Birthday present from the lovely Mrs TAB. Inside was a Korg Kaoss Pad 3, not at all what I expected! It calls itself a "Dynamic Effects Sampler" and so far all I can establish is that sound goes in, wizardry happens then lots more sound comes out again. It's great fun, and I figure I’m going to be learning how to use it properly for some time..... -Click the picture to be taken to a big version.
I’ve been using the blog function on Myspace for a while now, and it’s not really doing it for me any more. The purpose of this website is to document the experiences I have along the way, so I’ve decided to move my blog here as soon as I find a script I like the look of...
Check out StumbleRadio, every Sunday from 3pm to 5pm GMT on Interface. Expect much silliness and musical tomfoolery from myself and Tendril, plus with added web-cam goodness and chatter on the mic! Click the artwork below to go to Interface... Afterwards is the London Underground Show from 5pm to 8pm GMT, this will be hosted by a rota of Dj’s from London’s finest underground party crews. All details are on the HouseBreakin calendar.
We’re really pleased to announce that LouisePlus1 has allowed us to take on her radio show permanently. She along with the very best of London’s underground crews and Djs will provide quality tunes to accompany your Sunday afternoon. The LouisePlus1 show, now re-named London Underground follows on from StumbleWorthy from 17.00GMT.
I should also say a big thankyou to HouseBreakin’ for providing an environment in which I could develop as a Dj, I’m sure that without them I wouldn't have got as far as I have. A big thanks as well for Richard AKA King-Kutz for designing my logo. More thanks go to Tendril for not only building this website, but also teaching me how to keep it updated!
Finally thanks to all the people who help organise and come to our parties, all those who tune into interFACE or who download the mixes we put up. This isn’t about money, (although a little would be nice!) it’s about doing something you love doing. It’s really cool to know there are people listening and enjoying what you do!
Peace
Toby / DjTAB
