We are cruising through the year with yet another artist that we have the pleasure of handing over the controls to as we welcome back South West drum and bass legend, Leroy! This mix takes in Leroy's recent Frendzy all-nighter in West Cornwall where he hosted a D&B stage. For this podcast mix expect an hour of quick fire drum and bass!
Please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your DJ sound.
Thank you for having me back again!
For those that don't know me, I'm DJ Leroy, and I have been playing DNB in the South West and beyond for about 20 years. I love the full spectrum of Drum & Bass, and my sets often include a mixture of new upfront music mixed with older tunes, classics or anthems.
What are your highlights of the past year and what is planned for the future?
This latest offering is an eclectic mix of tunes I played recently at the infamous underground party in St Buryan, Cornwall, known as Frendzy. It was with enormous pleasure that I put together the DNB tent for the party alongside my good friend, Miss Trixsta. We showcased a broad range of Cornish talent, from 6pm-6am, and had an absolute blast! The area we ran was packed all night and the vibes were electric from start to finish!
Our artist rosta included new talents from Kernow alongside the OGs of the scene, and we came together as The Kernow Collective. The feedback from all involved was humbling, and it was by far and away my favourite party for a long long time! Huge respect due to everyone who made it such as good night, and a special thanks to Nigel Pengelly for asking us to do it. I was left in no doubt that the future of the Cornish DNB scene is well represented and has a very exciting future!
The next event in the calendar is Code Red:Legacy Part 3, which is a fundraiser for the Forever Days Cornwall Charity, which was set up by one of my very best friends, the late Jay Day. Our aim is to raise as much money as possible to directly benefit the Cancer Wards at Treliske Hospital as per his wishes. The event is Saturday 11th November, 9pm-3am at the Basement Bar, Newquay, and this time we are going back to our Code Red roots, and having a vinyl only night. It is going to be amazing!
Talk us through your podcast mix track selection.
My latest podcast mix is an hour of quick fire tracks which I played at Frendzy, culminating with the last tune which I played at 6am. "Pistols at Dawn", seemed appropriate as we signed off 12 hours of Drum and Bass to a stamina packed crowd of ravers at sunrise. God bless all the crazy Kernow raving gang, they are just built differently to any other crowd I've ever played to!
Well, thank you for having me once more Little South, I hope to see you all at Code Red Legacy Part 3, and thank you as ever for your support.
