dmZ 5 year anniversary tribute post

Hello internet-using bass lovers! The 5 year anniversary of the incomparable dmZ night in London is fast approaching (the event is March 5th). I've been fortunate enough to attend a few dmZ nights over the years and they have always been a wonderful and memorable experience. The first one I went to was the 3rd birthday in March of 2008. I've been back a few times since then, most recently this past November. I was even lucky enough to be asked to dj at the May 2009 event, which was a highlight in this dj "career" of mine considering the high regard I hold the event and the crew who make it happen, not to mention it is rare for an American dj to be on the lineup. But this blog post isn't about me, it's about celebrating the 5 year anniversary of the dmZ night.


On the night of March 5th, over 1000 music lovers will line up around the block to cram into an old church-turned-club named "Mass". They will be there to witness what is sure to be "one for the books" as people say; a night filled with people coming from near and distant places, sporting smiling faces due to the rumbling basses. dmZ is typically a one room affair, but for this edition they are opening up a 2nd room, and the lineup is stellar from start to finish in both rooms as you can see on the flyer image posted above.


While browsing the mixes section on dubstepforum, I came across a mix posted by a member named "Harkaransg". He titled the mix "DMZ through the years" and it immediately peaked my intrest since I'm a fan of the label. He posted "Strictly Vinyl Mix - 5th Birthday is just round the corner. I though i’d do a mix of dmz through the years. From about 40 or records I managed to narrow it down to these ones. Unfortunately I dont have Pathways or Horror Show, would have like to start with those two. Otherwise I pretty had the whole selection to pick from. Enjoy." You can download the mix by clicking this link.


For more info on dmZ the label, the clubnight, or the production team (Mala & Coki), please visit the dmZ website or take a look at the dmZ page at Wikipedia.


Once again, I'd like to congratulate the dmZ team on 5 years strong, and here's to many more! Whoever is reading this, next time you are in London, make sure you find out if there is a dmZ event going on so you too can - as their slogan says - "Meditate on Bass Weight".


Thanks for reading.
