As the title cunningly suggests this is the 3rd “Purist” mix from German based producer and Furioso label owner T.R.O. This time he’s focused on broken techno / tech sounding breakbeat. So enough of me typing words and that, let’s get to the mix in question.

TRACKLIST
Ricky Ambilotti – [...]

South London based producer Full Spektrum has been making music since around 2003. A bit of an old skool raver, he got into Hardcore and Jungle around ’92-‘93. Later producing his own music, a progression through D&B and garage eventually led to Full Spektrum being introduced to the ever varying sounds of Dubstep.

The deep and versatile nature of the music suited his own productions, and it wasn’t long before he was fusing the sounds of Dubstep and Old Skool with his own trademark rolling breaks. He has received a lot of support from other producers and DJ’s in the scene including Elemental, Warlock, Blackmass Plastics, Noiz, ID, Threnody, Rob Booth and the Urban Graffiti crew. With releases currently out on labels Bankai, UK Trends, Militant Science and Urban Scrumping and forthcoming tracks on Furioso and Mata-Syn, Full Spektrum is a producer with a big sound.

HOUR 2: THE SHOWCASE// South London based producer Full Spektrum has been making music since around 2003. A bit of an old skool raver, he got into Hardcore and Jungle around ’92-‘93. Later producing his own music, a progression through D&B and garage eventually led to Full Spektrum being introduced to the ever varying sounds of Dubstep.

After growing up in Bayreuth (the Richard Wagner town) T.R.O. moved to Berlin, diving head first into it’s techno scene. Soon after, he became interested in the much smaller but very friendly local breaks scene, especially the legendary Dangerous Drums nights. Now addicted to this sound, his own productions changed from techno to breakbeat, too. In 2004 his début release “Rec” appeared on the Dangerous Drums compilation “It’s a Berlin thing 3” and in 2005 he got the first of several tracks signed on Dr. Schmidt’s label Maschinen Musik (Dr. Schmidt and his label were featured on MANTIS 008). While he still enjoys the full range of breakbeat music, increasingly he’s become interested in other broken beat styles, primarily dubstep and garage and their influence is being absolved into his productions.

T.R.O.’s own label Furioso is dedicated to the idea of merging breaks, dubstep, 2step, and bassline house. With artists like Sharps, Blackmass Plastics, KingThing, and Nicolas Bourbaki it has quickly become a melting pot for future bass music.
