For our first guest mix of 2010 we’re very happy to welcome Temper D.

With a back catalogue of top quality drum n bass releases on labels such as Concord Dawn’s Uprising, Offkey and his own Temper D Productions he’s now branching into the world of house, dubstep and fidget house. Now signed to Cut La Roc’s Rocstar imprint and with a bag of hefty beats in his arsenal it’s looking like 2010 could be a big year for him!

For now, he’s put together a cracking 35 minute mix for us showcasing his latest productions featuring everything from drum and bass to dubstep and fidget house.

If you’d like some of these beats on your MP3 player or turntable why not pick up Temper D’s “Wonky Glasses EP” on Standard Audio, the absolutely huge “Jump Around” on TDP, and keep an eye out for his “Phat Slang” EP on Rocstar and the “Bring The Bass EP” on Electrostimulation in early 2010. He’s also made his Nerve debut on Nerve Breaks 016 with “Nu Skool Robbery”.

Secret Society AKA Tohm Tronic & Resonate have been involved in the drum n bass scene for over 15 years and individually had releases (under various aliases) on labels like Flex, Hardleaders and Hyper Records. They teamed up in recent years to form their own Digi-Lab Records and became heavily involved in the J-Tek scene – becoming one of the scene’s leading production and DJ teams.

They first came to my attention with the brilliant “Grindhouse” on Outrage’s “Backlash” imprint – a brilliant slice of drum n bass which veered towards the deep n dark sound but retained a crackin’ groove. I then discovered their amazing J-Tek stuff and they were also nice enough to let us release some of their brilliant dnb on Nerve (NERVEBP004) and have now remixed Jammin J’s “Fall” in a J-Tek stylee for NB015.

They’ve also put together this guest mix for the site, showcasing their diversity behind the decks as well as behind the production desk with a mixture of nu skool jungle tekno, drum n bass and a light sprinkling of dubstep.

With releases forthcoming on Broken Audio, Translation Recordings and Skynet’s relaunched N:Vision imprint they’re becoming a name to watch. We asked them if they’d put together a guest mix for us and they delivered this belter of a mix.

First in a series of new guest mixes on the site – from Nerve artists and just dj’s that we like really.

To kick us off we have the Phuturelabs collective taking you through Door 23 with a 30 minute mix of doomy electronica styled dubstep shenanigans. It’s a bit melancholy, a bit dark and a bit downright bassy – so sling it on the MP3 player and listen to it while walking through industrial estates at 4AM for the full effect.
