Kicking off the week with a deep, dark and damaging blend!
A rattling, headsy trip, tightly woven with upfront bruisers and a few strategically placed classics, it comes courtesy of Cardiff-based Ransom; Incurzion Audio label manager and a hyper-consistent, razor-sharp and highly-respected selector.
A consummate resident who can slide into any slot of the night and any line-up, Dean Ransom’s journey began as a 15 year old garage DJ back in the early 2000s and has been building up momentum ever since.
Cutting his teeth in the Welsh capital as the resident at Aperture, now a key member of the Concrete Junglists crew, he’s regular fixture at nights across the UK and has played alongside some of the biggest names you could imagine across the bass spectrum from Andy C to David Rodigan.
He’s not shy of an award or two either; in 2017 he won the Cardiff Music Awards Best DJ title and, just recently in February, he picked up a Best DJ set award at Immersed! A festival that celebrates Welsh talent and raised money for the Music Declares Emergency charity, an innovative and community-focused event curated by Creative Industries students at the University Of South Wales.
The award, which was won alongside MC XL and fellow DJ Obsidian, was for a set mid covid times and came as a massive surprise to him. Listen to this mix and any type of accolade or golden salute shouldn’t come as a surprise. Listen here and get to know in our exclusive interview: 1-more-thing.co.uk/audio/1-more-mix-037-ransom/
