1 More Thing Podcast #016: DLR

12/01/23 • 85 min

Unapologetically long-form chats with unapologetically inspiring artists! The 1 More Thing podcast series continues with a certified drum & bass maverick - DLR.
From his early days breaking through with Octane to his current position as the Sofa Sound bossman, DLR has been committed to the cause with pure unabashed energy and intensity for for his whole adult life.
Fresh from releasing his third solo album Money Till I Got None, DLR is an artist at the forefront of his very own lane with his own unique signature sound. He is a proud professor of the process and a huge advocate for realism, authenticity and progression. The very same ethics 1 More Thing is built on and that drive and inspire our interviewer Dave Columbo Jenkins.
So much so, in fact, the interview starts with a stark and daring confession from Dave as he ignites the chat and explosive revelation from an interview he did with DLR over 10 years ago!
We love every interview we put out into the world and feel there's a powerful amount of inspiration to be found in ANY artist's story but this one is especially loaded thanks to DLR's depth of self reflection and tenure in the game.
Essential listening. Find your nearest sofa and get comfortable.

1 More Thing Podcast #015: DJ Hybrid

Meet the artist who's often refered to as one of the hardest working men in drum & bass... DJ, producer, multiple label owner, verified one-man-army and a man who's been influential in the emergence of a whole generation of artists; it's DJ Hybrid.
He joins 1 More Thing host Dave Columbo Jenkins this month to discuss his musical roots, his insatiable creative urge, the challenges he's had to overcome and the sacrifices he's made to get to where he wants to be.
With 2023 being one of his most prolific years, it's fair to say his hard work is paying off. It's a really exciting time for the Coventry-born/Worthing-based artist as he continues to stretch his legs stylistically, working with bucketlist labels like RAM and DRKMTTR, hosting his own show on Kool FM and forever helping the new generation with unfailing support on his imprints Audio Addict and Deep In The Jungle.
As Deep In The Jungle has just celebrated 10 years, it's the perfect time for Alex Hybrid to reflect on his journey so far and give us a hint at what comes next.

1 More Thing Podcast #017: Mandidextrous

Welcome to the first 1 More Thing podcast of 2024!
We are kicking off the year in fine style as Dave Columbo Jenkins is joined by the one and only Mandidextrous for an epic and inspiring deep dive into their career so far.
From their free party roots to their current status as one of the most unique individuals in drum & bass culture, Mandi chats in detail about their development from being entrenched in underground DIY culture to becoming a pioneer of their own sounds Jungle Tek and Speed Bass... Two 4x4 sounds that have had a game-changing influence on drum & bass in very recent times.
Smashing down boundaries and barriers, and setting benchmarks for fellow non binary artists, Mandidextrous has had one of the most positive impacts on drum & bass culture imaginable.... And is definitely showing no signs of slowing down.
We caught up with them at the end of 2023 just days after they won the Critics Choice Award at the Drum&BassArena Awards but before the awards show had gone live. FYI: we reckon Mandi's going to have an even bigger 2024.
Listen in and find out why...
