DJ MENDON (1/2 of Oblivion Dip)
We can’t wait to dance to his selection of breakbeats, jungle & hardcore from 91-94 d[-_-] ♫₊˚.
As the weird bothersome brother of the Oblivion Dip collective. He one day lost
his groove and left on a six months hiatus. He felt that the spirit of club music was fading and the scene where in a slow decline. It provoked him to the extent that his friends ostarized him.
Exiled and alone, deprived, listening to music from his basement he suddenly felt a deep inner calling.
This summoning forced him out on a voyage, a musical pilgrimage, he searched in every nook and cranny. He was after something, fresh but authentic.
`Twas among old ravers of old, and quirky younglings he found a spark. Amongst the trash bins and the dust, he scavenged the wrong side of Themes and the backyards of Old London.
It was there, one of the oldschoolers had a glimmer. A shine that came out of her golden teeth. And then the knowledge of the rave scene was past on.
A profound lecture from the ancient tracking techniques from the Amiga to later BPM restrictions on the early AKAI samplers. The essentials and a progression of an era few remembers.
MENDON found what he had been searching for! And now he has RETURNED!
With renewed vigor and nourishment MENDONs essence has again been vivified!
Collecting music from labels such as Kniteforce, Hectic, Second Drop, Dread Recordings and Moving Shadow.
DJs like Ray Keith, Intense, Ed Rush, DJ Hype to name a few. Listening to mixtapes from Yaman Studios and Peshay.
This time his true focus will dig deep down in styles from the origin of breakbeat, jungle and hardcore from 90-94.
This will be a showdown of true club music trying to blend the new with the old and revitalize the groove with the variations of the amen.
Cum sweat with us!💦💦 7/7-23
