Allen & Heath new Xone Revealed: DB4

I think anybody else who fell in love with the original xone 92 has to share my feeling of excitement along with alot of skepticism when finding out about the new xone mixer was being released. Allen and Heath are yet to release full details but from what Ive read from other sources the best new features are..

• 
  
  
  4 Sends/Returns (This is probably my favourite as Ive been wanting more than 2 sends on the mixer for some time for effects/loops/bpm counter for effects)
• The EQ´s can be changed to Isolators or Filters
• Each channel automatically adjust their FX and loops to the BPM of the music

Some things I have noticed that isnt so great...

• It would be nice to be able to route the effects to another channel instead of the dry/wet (This means you cannot have the effect on intense but quiet at the same time)
• It only has 4 channels compared to the 6 available on the xone 92 (Maybe the factor that will stop me switching mixers to this one)

Forgetting all the specifications, I´ll obviously make my decision once Ive played with one for a few hours. I like the idea of the individual filters aswell as the two filters on the side. Some sick bass drops could be made from this but it has to be something very special to beat the 92. I feel you can give so much personality through the 92 and this for me is top priorty before effects and filtered eqs.

Ruffage Sessions

Massive shout out for these guys from Leeds, UK. Ramadanman, Ben UFO and Pangaea. The online radio show ¨The Ruffage Sessions¨ they did for a few years was always a high quality mixture of very upfront dubstep, house and techno. The Ruffage sessions was a major influence for me, not only musically - as this is where I heard alot of the early tracks from Ramadanman, F, Joy Orbison and Pangaea, but also one of the biggest inspirations that originally got bambam off the ground. I knew I needed a way of spreading exciting electronic music to people around the world and these guys were doing the same but in their own way.

I´ve dug out the recording of the final show from earlier this year which was a four hour show and snuck a tracklist out for the tunespotters..

¨There can be few people who don’t count Shed –

real name Rene Pawlowitz – among the very best

producers of the contemporary era¨

After being featured in our Artist Tip at the beginning of the year, there is much excitement about his Shed´s second album. He is definitely one of bambam´s top artists at the moment.. Looking forward to hearing the full album at the end of the month!

¨Dancefloor tracks, made for DJ‘s, follow a structure which require a damn perfect dancefloor in your living room in order to adequately absorb that very energy. A good album must offer more than a couple of dancefloor anthems, mixed with some ambient interludes and the obligatory downbeat experiment, it has to be more substantial than a paint-box for your euphoric memories of perfect nights long gone¨
