RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE – 2007 (EMP004CD)
Various “Rumble In The Jungle – Mixed By Mr Smith” (Empathy)
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 djs..
