ThisMeansWAR!

ThismeansWAR! is a thirty-something squarepusher and mashup-artist from Oslo that feels weird when having to write in third person. Growing up in a family of jazz musicians he got an early start fiddling with synthesizers and drum machines in his dads studio. When he got his sticky fingers on a Casio FZ-1 sampler at age eleven his fate as a music geek was sealed. After being introduced to the harder side of the drum&bass genre - "neurofunk" at the turn of the century there was no going back. He has spent the past eight years playing and promoting DNB-nights in Oslo as well as running the label "Dub Monkey Records" alongside Tony Anthem from "Future Prophecies". In this podcast you'll get to hear lots of drums, lots of bass and lots of sounds like robots fighting in the deep universe. Tune in and get locked!

Wanna hear a beautiful story? I recently reconnected with an old friend of mine. He has a sixteen year old daughter that I haven't seen since she was a toddler and in our conversation he mentions that her favourite tune is "Scorned". My jaw drops. Not just because a sixteen year old girl listens to neurofunk, but that we have the same favourite tune. I was so inspired that I made a mix for her with vocal neurofunk. And with her permission I'm sharing it with you guys. 01: Icicle - The Nothing ft.

"Future Prophecies - Raw" is a compilation that presents all of the tunes released on “Outbreak Records” between 2002 and 2005, all remastered and on digital for the first time. When: 29. Jan 2016 Where: Beatservice Records If you ask todays biggest names in international drum & bass about their artistic influences, the Norwegian act Future Prophecies will be mentioned by most. The legendary duo was defining the genre throughout the 00's, with over twenty vinyl releases and the crowning achievement "Warlords Rising" that was released on Subtitles (12"-series) and Beatservice (CD) in 2005. "Raw" collects the tracks from all of the 12"es that were released on Outbreak Records between 2002 and 2005. They are all out of print but are now finally available for a new generation of dnb-fans, remastered and in digital format. This collection represents the early years when Future Prophecies were establishing their dark and intense sound with frenetic breakbeats, brutal baselines and a rawness that still can be heard in modern drum & bass. Mix tracklist: 01: Insomniac 02: Voice of Loneliness 03: Raw 04: My Precious Bassline 05: Chrome 06: Underdog 07: Wonderland 08: Rock Steady 09: Mentally Destroyed 10: Fire 11: Shadow
