For the third episode of Unknown Exclusive it is with great pleasure that UnknownFM presents to you Rory80Hz.
Rory80Hz, PKA Beckett, was the man behind irishdrumandbass.com along with Skeletor. idnb was Ireland’s original online jungle and drum’n’bass community.
The internet has moved on and so has Rory who has been busy running all sorts of club nights, DJing around the country, producing his own music and most recently (for almost 10 years!) running Rudimentary Records with label partner Andy.
Rudimentary Records is a passion project. Releasing music from artists around the globe. The focus is on black music with heavy baselines and interesting beats presented with artwork that tells a story. With a back catalogue of releases from artists including Danny Scrilla, Bass Clef, Yoru, T-Woc, G3 spanning vinyl, cassette and digital, not to mention the limited edition screen printed artwork, the label really does have its own unique outlook and aesthetic.
You can check the back catalogue out on bandcamp https://shop.rudimentaryrecords.com and join them on their adventures in New York in the short documentary ‘From Belfast to Brooklyn – A Rudimentary Field Trip’ https://vimeo.com/92256156
On this Unknown Exclusive mix Rory80Hz has delivered a 2 for 1 special! The first hour is a mix built off the back of the latest Rudimentary Records release by G3 and keeps within the 70/140bpm axis. The second half is a point in time drum’n’bass mix from the early 2000’s when Rory was running a club night in Belfast with his old friend and collaborator WigWig and the mighty Calibre.
