THIS is what it takes to run a massive festival...

Please welcome Murdock to the 1 More Thing podcast. DJ, producer and promoter behind some of the biggest raves in European bass culture - Rampage!

An OG of the Belgian scene, Murdock takes the time to share his journey from how he created opportunities for his earliest DJ sets... And how that effectively led to the humungous 20,000+ capacity events he and his team are responsible for now.

This is a truly unique insight into a life dedicated to music and boosting it to the biggest audiences he possibly can, and all the hard work and sacrifices involved behind the scenes along the way.

Join us for this inspiring conversation then join us for our biggest festival takeover to date at Rampage Open Air. The event takes place from July 4-7 and we'll be there on Saturday July 6 with a dream line-up: Arcando, Basstrick B2B Michael Sparks, Camoufly, flowanastasia & Tyr Kohout, In The Lab Recordings, Joker B2B Sir Spyro Ft P Money, Mia Koden. Requake, Zero & Tempa T. Oh gosh!

30 years deep into a benchmark-setting career, drum & bass jungle producer Ed Rush has only just released his debut solo album... Truth be told? He was having too much fun collaborating to even consider one!

From his time with the pioneering No U-Turn collective to his enduring tenure with Optical and the Virus family, music has always been a social experience for the London artist but events in 2020 took Ed - real name Ben Settle - in a more introspective direction... And led to a new creative perspective on his art, himself and the scene.

Two years back into the turbulent post-covid raving landscape, with a growing renaissance for the heavy, tech-flavoured drum & bass and his and Optical's Virus label currently celebrating 25 years, Ed Rush finds himself in an exciting and energised position. The dust still settling on his Light Of The Void album - released on Black Sun Empire's label Blackout - Dave Columbo Jenkins caught up with him to discuss everything from drum & bass to delta waves to daddying and everything in between.

The Podcast Experiences Of... CLIQUES

Welcome to the 19th episode of the 1 More Thing Podcast where Dave Columbo Jenkins sits down with an act who have, until recently, have maintained a strong air of masked anonymity.

Emerging in 2020 with a brazen sonic style, a production level that belies their newcomer status and a strong connection with cult retro soap opera character Barry Evans, CLIQUES have done things entirely on their own terms.

Carving their own unique place with a technique they describe as renegade art, the UK south coast trio have commandeered every subgenre of drum & bass, avoiding pigeonholes and landing them on labels such as Hospital, Breakbeat Kaos, Get Hype, Ram, their own imprint CCA and, most recently, Born On Road - Buried, featuring Eksman.

It was their previous EP however that set the scene for this podcast interview. Entitled Life Experiences Of, the EP features Genesis Elijah, Grim Sickers, Vio.let, LU:KE and Sammy Sapphire and was created in collaboration with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) It comes with a powerful message that taps into some of their lowest and most vulnerable emotional experiences. It doesn't matter how low you feel, you can still get back up on top and there will always be help no matter how dark things feel.

A one-of-a-kind body of work in drum & bass and a release that reveals them on a whole new personable level, Paul and Phil CLIQUES embraced this special moment last month and take part in this, their deepest interview of their career so far. Enjoy.

Today on the 1 More Thing podcast we celebrate the return of a French craftsman who has recently broken a five year release silence with his remarkable and ambitious new album Sans Soleil.

Bonjour Naibu. An enigmatic, talented and philosophical musician.

Breaking through in the late 2000s on Fabio's Creative Source with a beguiling signature that owes just as much to classical as it does contemporary deep drum & bass, Robin Leclair's ever-evolving sound holds a unique space in drum & bass. His return has been long overdue.

We find out where Naibu's been, how he came to work with a massive orchestra on his new album, why he doesn't DJ and why we hopefully won't have to wait another five years for more fresh Naibu music. Get to know!

Welcome to the New Generation series.

Running in between our episodes where we speak to established talents, legends and pioneers, 1 More Thing's New Generation series gives space to those who are just entering the bass game and looking to make their own contributions to the movement.

Broken up by a few musical selections along the way, each episode will be a fascinating insight into the life of an artist who's starting to make all the right impressions.

Artists like Gifta.

The first artist to be featured in this series, Gifta has been on the D&B grind for 10 years but has really made a massive impact since the lockdown era at the start of the 2020s.

Head honcho of Phase Records, and recently graduated from a year's business mentorship at the mighty Hospital Records, Gifta heads up an impressive collective of new generation artists on her label and is crafting a unique and formidable sound as a producer.

Welcome to the first 1 More Thing podcast of 2024!

We are kicking off the year in fine style as Dave Columbo Jenkins is joined by the one and only Mandidextrous for an epic and inspiring deep dive into their career so far.

From their free party roots to their current status as one of the most unique individuals in drum & bass culture, Mandi chats in detail about their development from being entrenched in underground DIY culture to becoming a pioneer of their own sounds Jungle Tek and Speed Bass... Two 4x4 sounds that have had a game-changing influence on drum & bass in very recent times.

Smashing down boundaries and barriers, and setting benchmarks for fellow non binary artists, Mandidextrous has had one of the most positive impacts on drum & bass culture imaginable.... And is definitely showing no signs of slowing down.

We caught up with them at the end of 2023 just days after they won the Critics Choice Award at the Drum&BassArena Awards but before the awards show had gone live. FYI: we reckon Mandi's going to have an even bigger 2024.

Listen in and find out why...

Meet the artist who's often refered to as one of the hardest working men in drum & bass... DJ, producer, multiple label owner, verified one-man-army and a man who's been influential in the emergence of a whole generation of artists; it's DJ Hybrid.

He joins 1 More Thing host Dave Columbo Jenkins this month to discuss his musical roots, his insatiable creative urge, the challenges he's had to overcome and the sacrifices he's made to get to where he wants to be.

With 2023 being one of his most prolific years, it's fair to say his hard work is paying off. It's a really exciting time for the Coventry-born/Worthing-based artist as he continues to stretch his legs stylistically, working with bucketlist labels like RAM and DRKMTTR, hosting his own show on Kool FM and forever helping the new generation with unfailing support on his imprints Audio Addict and Deep In The Jungle.

As Deep In The Jungle has just celebrated 10 years, it's the perfect time for Alex Hybrid to reflect on his journey so far and give us a hint at what comes next.
