DJ Zinc on Drum & bass, Pirate radio and Grime | Red Bull Music Academy

► Subscribe to Red Bull Music Academy: Unlike most other drum & bass producers, DJ Zinc is a man of many hats producing tunes at various tempos. His first non-drum & bass track, the now infamous “138 Trek,“ was played by UK garage kids, as well as breaks and broken beat DJs, breaking into the top 30 and eventually leading to opening his own label, Bingo Beats. In this talk at the 2005 RBMA in Seattle, Zinc explains his early beginnings and involvement in the seminal production outfit Ganja Kru, the importance of pirate radio and his struggle with major labels. ► #DJZinc #Junglemusic #RedBullMusicAcademy __________________________ TOPICS: 07:46 - Pirate radio 16:08 - Major labels 19:07 - Bingo Beats 24:25 - Drum & bass 32:58 - Grime MUSIC: 33:33 - Wiley – “Wot You Call It” 40:05 -
