CULT D&B SESSIONS: NOOKIE / CLOUD 9 / DEEP BLUE / 2 BAD MICE – OLD SCHOOL & JUNGLE SPECIAL

One for all you old school heads out there as Nookie brings his famed Atmosphere night to Notts for a Reinforced Vs Moving Shadow showcase. Hardcore you know the score!


NOOKIE / CLOUD 9

Gavin Cheung needs no introduction. As Cloud 9 and Nookie he was responsible for numerous anthems that paved the way for Jungle and now Drum & Bass as we know it. His 1993 “The Return of the Nookie EP” on the legendary Reinforced Records is still held in high regard as one of the seminal releases of the time.

DEEP BLUE / 2 BAD MICE

Moving Shadow soldier Deep Blue will be continuing the old school selection with his half of a classics set. Sean O’Keefe is responsible for a host of early jungle classics including the legendary “Helicopter Tune”.
As an original member of 2 Bad Mice, a staple on the early 90’s hardcore scene, the trio are widely credited as among the first UK hardcore acts to begin incorporating breakbeats into the style.


These artists and labels defined a genre and with Reinforced celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, we thought it fitting to give tribute to the sounds of the underground.

CULT - D&B SESSIONS : BCEE / TOTAL SCIENCE – SPEARHEAD RECORDINGS PRESENT… “5LP”

Having risen to become one of the biggest “liquid” labels around in its short lifespan, Spearhead Recordings is celebrating 5 years with the release of the 5 LP.

BCEE

Spearhead Records was established in January 2005 by Steve BCee. Since then the label has been responsible for showcasing a large number of both established and up and coming producers. Spearhead has found a carefully crafted balance in its output from the more soulful sound with tunes such as Lenzman’s “Caught Up” through to dance floor destroyers like SPY’s “Sunship”.

Over the years the label has also boasted a number of other top producers such as Lomax, Atlantic Connection, Danny Byrd and a handful of high profile rmx’s from the likes of Logistics, matrix and Nu:tone.

Bcee’s own production efforts always find there way into the record bags of the scenes top DJ’s as well as his own! Cult are excited to welcome Bcee as he show cases the new album “5 Remixed, Rewired, Rewound” which celebrates 5 years of Spearhead Records and features remix’s from Shock one, Cyantific and Total Science.http://spearheadrecords.bigcartel.com/http://www.myspace.com/spearheadrecords Y

TOTAL SCIENCE

Cult are also very pleased to welcome Total Science aka Jason Greenhalgh (Q Project) & Paul Smith (Spinback) Drum and Bass pioneers, who over the years have established themselves as legends of the scene.

The pair first met in 1987, both living in and around the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, England and brought together through a mutual love of hip-hop and school girls. Between them they have release records under a number of different monikers such as “Funky technicians, Total Science as well as Q projects solo efforts. The boys have had releases on every label imaginable from Metalheadz to Good Looking, True Playaz to Soul:r and Spearhead.

As well as gracing some of the scenes biggest imprints Total Science have also been pushing their own music as well as tunes from some of the scenes biggest producers on their C.I.A, Deepkut and Advanced labels. Renowned for the versatility of their sound big tunes such as “Defcon 69”, show a striking contrast to that of “Dee Pee” .

Not only famed for their production efforts their DJ sets have been setting the decks a light all over the world for many years and were glad their back in Nottingham on the back of their fresh remix of Bcee’s “Mr. Bidigan”.
