Various ‘Rumble In The Jungle – Mixed By Mr Smith’
Empathy Recordings in association with Bassdrop.co.nz are pleased to announce the release of the Rumble in the Jungle CD mixed by Mr Smith.
The concept was simple, the winner of the 2006 RITJ competition was to mix a hand picked selection of Drum and Bass tracks from select producers from NZ and abroad.
A born and bred Wellingtonian, It didnt take Mr Smith (aka Cole Smith) long to discover the local drum and bass culture and then catch the dj bug. After locking himself away in his bedroom fine tuning his dj skills, it was evident that Mr Smith had a natural talent for mixing drum and bass. The Rumble in the Jungle competition would prove that. After a series of heats, the final competition was very close coming down to three contestants – two from Auckland and Mr Smith from Wellington. A packed final saw some some slick mixing and a tough decision from the judges, with Mr Smith emerging as Rumble Champion 2006.
Recorded and mastered by the Empathy team the ‘Rumble in the Jungle / Mr Smith Mix’ is the premium live set from NZ’s best. Featuring tracks by State of Mind, Concord Dawn, Psidream, Agent Alvin, Trei, Dose, Fanu, Nanotek, CMD, Bulletproof, Polarity, Pyro vs Jester, Organiks & Roye Darke.
We encourage you to check it out, get involved and support your local artists and talented dj’s..

Since 2002 Cern have been djing and producing drum and bass, inspired by supporting some of the local and international acts for New Zealand drum and bass pioneers Subtronix and Cyanide. 2006 saw collaborations with Bulletproof, rokheads and red mercury, and pushing the neurofunk sound by promoting visiting artists such as Mayhem, Noisia, Psidream and D Bridge.
2007 has been a productive year for Cern working on collaborations with New Zealand’s finest up and coming producers Vanadis, Teknik, Menace and Dose.
Rise featuring Vanadis is a venture into the smoother side of drum and bass. A beautifully atmospheric tune with tight minimal drum programming and a underlying modulated bassline. Look out for the cheeky vocal and subtle brass stabs.
don’t know is based around a vintage piano sample. Featuring smooth filtered reece bass parts, eerie keys and washy pads, This tune ties together nicely, Definitely a 5am in morning tune for all you djs out there.
