A University of Lincoln student has been signed as Resident DJ to Ironside records . After releasing his latest EP in March 2021, Mitchell Crown, who goes by the stage name subcortex_dnb , has had a successful start to his DJ career.
As a Resident DJ to Iron side records when the clubs reopen and they host a set Mitchell will be DJing a set with them. Iron side is a drum and bass record label which promises ‘room shaking rollers and heavy-hitting jungle tracks’ and describes itself as a ‘Veteran of the underground DJ scene
Inspired by big names @alcemist.uk, @diagnostix_dnb and his friend in the industry Mitchell finally bought himself a pair of decks and now he has released two extended plays and 25 unique tracks gaining him 335 followers on Soundcloud. He describes his tracks as, “gritty,heavy roller/reece bass style alongisde more jungely drum patterns whcih are rapid and heavy with synthesised sound”
He said: “I usually stick with sub-heavy, gritty siunds but I am planning to experiment with jump up stabs .” This will echo his introductions that already use a lot of orchestral instruments. Listen for yourself here.
With Drum and bass becoming a global culture, emerging from underground raves and gaining popularity in the United Kingdom it makes sense that creators are jumping on the trend with SoundClound seeing 25 million users, an increase of three million from the previous year.
It reached popularty again over Lockdown with DJs live streaming their sets on social media which is why Mitchell said: “Now is the perfect time for any wanna be desk junkies to claim their trade and perfect their talent…
…The best advice I could offer to aspiring DJs is to make and mix music that you enjoy listening too.Create content that you enjoy, not just in the hope of pleasing others, butfor yourself. This will keep you motivated to continue”
Using this mentality he was able to get two of his tracks, Bromance bootleg and Coming Home bootleg onto the Hypeddit top 100 drum and bass charts which he describes as his: “Proudest moment”
After having big names such as Debunked records, Miss Bliss DJ and EJ kitto in the industry play his music he said he’s “excited to see where 2021″ takes him”
