Ableton Push Demo (Video)

The guys over at DJ City take a quick look at Ableton Live's forthcoming controller, that will be launching within the next few months.

I can't wait to get my hands on this piece of kit.

DJ Cable - BBC 1Xtra Guest Mixes for CJ Beatz!

"It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without some DJ Cable mixes to listen to...."

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. I've been locked away in the studio working on music, as well as a number of mixtapes for clients such as The Candy Store, Universal, and a few others. There are some exciting things in the pipeline for this year.

Speaking of mixtapes, here are a couple that I recently put together for my good friend CJ Beatz on BBC 1Xtra.

First up, my New Year's Eve mix, which is straight up 90's/00's Dancehall. Something different I guess, but worth checking out. Lots of classic riddims in the mix such as Playground, Filthy, Buy Out, Bookshelf, and Up Close & Personal.

Lastly, here's my most recent mix, which aired on Monday night. 10 minutes' worth of bass-heavy goodness from the likes of Baauer, Flosstradamus, Dead Prez, A$AP Rocky, French Montana and Willy Moon.

I'll be doing my best to keep you all updated with pictures from touring this year, as well as regular posts. It's hard trying to maintain a blog these days, but be patient and stick with me; there are lots of good things to come this year :)

Happy New Year!

 

Thanks to everyone for their support in 2012.

It's been an awesome year. I got to play in 9 countries, work with some great artists, appear on Jools Holland's show, play at a load of dope festivals, release a couple of tunes, put out a couple of records on Triangulum, and met some great people. I could go on, but I don't want to bore you too much.

I can't wait for 2013, I'm sure it'll be a big year.

Thanks again, and watch this space for more music and mixes. Big up.

DJ Cable - 2012 AD (Mixtape)

It's that time of year where I dig through my digital crates, and finish off the year with my annual Hip Hop round up.

It's been an interesting and exciting year for Hip Hop. Whilst there have been the usual club smashes from MMG, YMCMB, French Montana, G.O.O.D. Music, etc, there have been a load of dope artists coming through, such as Joey Bada$$, Angel Haze, Danny Brown. 

I've tried to keep a good balance of mainstream/credible/underground material, plus a couple of dope album cuts to keep everyone happy, with music from Nas, Sean Price, Rick Ross, Big Sean, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Angel Haze, Tyga, Slaughterhouse, N.O.R.E., Game, Kanye West, TNGHT, 2 Chainz and more.

Honourable mentions go to JJ Doom, Action Bronson, Spaceghostpurrp/Raider Klan, Roc Marciano, Oddisee, El-P, Homeboy Sandman, Ab-Soul, Piff Gang, ItsNate, and Big K.R.I.T., who have all put out some great music this year. It's a shame I couldn't squeeze everyone into 70 minutes' worth of audio!

As a bonus, I'll also be pressing up 300 of these on CD. If you'd like one, just give me a shout and I'll send them out free of charge, provided the world doesn't end this Friday, of course!

Thanks for all the support this year, I hope you enjoy the mix! Big up.

DJ Cable x The Candy Store - 8th Dec 2012

Easy people, just to let you know that I'll be spinning at The Candy Store on Berwick Street in London this coming Saturday.


Whilst I'm DJ-ing, there will also be 25% off everything in store. Make sure you get down there from 2pm-5pm.

Willy Moon Feat. Wiley - Yeah Yeah (DJ Cable Remix)

I'm pleased to announce my first remix for a major label!

I made this whilst on tour in France the other week, after realising I had the stems to the original tune on my hard drive. Seeing as I had little to no internet connection, I decided to keep myself occupied in between shows by making a remix.



The powers that be liked the rough version, and after some support and radio play from my good friends Mistajam and CJ Beatz, I then got an email asking to include Wiley's verse on the remix. I complied, and the rest is history!

Big up the team at Island Records, hopefully there will be more remix opportunities in the future.
