The Spineshaker crew was lucky enough to see ill-esha perform live at the Jungle Room this weekend. The place was packed, and was warmed up by DJ Morgan Tedder (search Spineshaker for "Tedder"). Ill-esha's live act is unique, as she not only DJ's but sings incredibly well. Furthermore, many of the tracks she spins are self-produced. This mix highlights some of her peers, but also includes 2 of her tracks. She also sings on tracks 1,3,15 and 20. She plays all styles of broken beat and has performed in over 35 international cities with names like De La Soul, Andy C, Dieselboy, Too Short, Hype, LTJ Bukem. Her first release with Datcyde on Breakbeat Science, "Social Skillz" was released 5 times in various formats. A featured DJ on CBC and CTV, shes also spun on MTV Canada in between touring North America and debuting in Taiwan at the Heineken Music Festival.

Great to see the starting track on this mix is produced by DJ Esh himself. This track is then followed by a techy drum and bass set, with infusions of jazzy aromas. Parts of this mix are a laid back drum and bass set, but DJ Esh starts to show his teeth half way thru. Like a starving jackal, furry on the outside, sharp teeth on the inside. Big up!

DJ KDH thrusts his hands into the chest of his listeners, tears their hearts out, and sinks his teeth into them with this 41 track drum and bass monster that was spun on 3 decks. We love the pain! The rolling bass, the cinematic undertones, and the total chaos unites one's hidden darkside. DJ KDH is climbing quickly up the Spineshaker drum and bass charts, we see few competitors at this point.
