Nothing major, just 20 to 30 minutes at a time, as I&#8217;ve found this fits in a bit better with my family life and it takes away the excuse of &#8216;oh, I don&#8217;t have time to do a full mix&#8217;. Sure, on any given night I don&#8217;t have 60-90 minutes, but I can definitely rustle up 20-30, and if you do that four times a week you end up with between 80 and 120 minutes of material, which is plenty for a mix, right?<\/p>\n<p>As I write this, therefore, I have one finished mix (Armand van Helden tribute!) also done, and I&#8217;m working on another one (modern jungle techno!), and I plan to do a different one (Berlin techno! Or maybe AKO Beatz!) next week &#8230; so the gears are grinding along and stuff is happening.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the younger me would 100% have considered such an approach to be &#8216;cheating&#8217;, but the younger me didn&#8217;t have two kids nor a job that was anywhere near as demanding, so fuck that guy and his overinflated purism. ?<\/p>\n<p>This mix, specifically, has been on the shelf for a little while &#8211; I originally recorded it in October for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Begrime.Berlin\">Begrime<\/a> radio show and I am only now getting it up on Sonicrampage. The genesis of this mix was, well &#8230; not very complicated! I didn&#8217;t have much free time and the deadline for submission was looming, so I just got out a stack of records and did it in little bursts over a couple of days and then stitched it together in Soundforge.<\/p>\n<p>Normally I would do a grime mix for Begrime (and in fact this is what I&#8217;ve done in the past; see <a href=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2020\/09\/pearsall-presents-that-pirate-energy-a-mix-for-begrime\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sonicrampage\/random-order-selection-grime-mini-mix-for-the-begrime-crew\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2021\/09\/pearsall-presents-once-were-pirates-old-skool-grime-vinyl-mix-for-begrime-radio\/\">here<\/a>), but this time around I decided to do something a bit different: a deeper dubstep mix.<\/p>\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s not <em>that<\/em> different &#8211; similar bpm, similar roots, all that.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t getting too wild and crazy!<\/p>\n<p>But still, a <em>little bit<\/em> different.<\/p>\n<p>Why did I do a dubstep mix?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s not really a very complex story to it &#8211; Begrime did a little party in September at the beach bar at Yaam, a venue by the river in Friedrichshain, and the management asked us not to go too hard too early, so I volunteered to go first and play dubstep, on the assumption that it would be a bit more mellow than straight-up grime. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1153803415&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/begrime\" title=\"Begrime\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Begrime<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/begrime\/begrime-typewriter-pearsall-sub-fm-03-nov-2021\" title=\"Begrime - Typewriter - Pearsall - Sub FM - 03 Nov 2021\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Begrime &#8211; Typewriter &#8211; Pearsall &#8211; Sub FM &#8211; 03 Nov 2021<\/a><\/div>\n<p>To be honest, I didn&#8217;t think too deeply about it in advance, I just got out some of my older dubstep records, mostly on the deeper side (no mid-range tearouts!), did a little practice, and packed my bag. That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n<p>On the day itself, I was pretty exhausted and was sort of looking for reasons to not do it, but I still made my way there for 7pm and &#8230; it was great! <\/p>\n<p>Like obviously 7pm on a windy September evening with a bunch of people sitting around drinking, the first fall chill in the air, is not a prime slot in any way shape or form, but frankly it was just so much fun to play these records and hear them loud (or at least loud-ish). Clearly it&#8217;s a different experience to hear music on a proper soundsystem as opposed to on headphones or a home stereo system, and that goes for all genres of music, but, well, dubstep stands out even more so in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>What you never experience with dubstep at home is the sheer <em>physicality<\/em> of it, the intensity of the bass. You hear it and experience it in a whole new way, and even though I was playing to a bunch of people who, frankly, probably didn&#8217;t care too much either way, it was just really really fun. I did my one hour set and walked off absolutely buzzing! It was so cool to hear this music at this volume again, and especially to play so many tunes that I hadn&#8217;t really played much for a while. <\/p>\n<p>A great experience!<\/p>\n<p>It was also very nice that my cousin Diana stopped by  with some friends &#8211; they seemed to have a nice time! She&#8217;s from New York City and is studying in Amsterdam this year &#8211; it was great to see her.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards I was feeling very inspired, so I ended up doing this mix a few weeks later to try to recapture that vibe a little bit &#8211; I reused quite a few of the tunes, but not all. Everything on this mix was in my bag that day.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the setlist from the actual party, for those of you who are curious:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5293\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Begrime@Yaam.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>01.
