Exclusive! Bass Music Mix 7 - J:Kenzo (Soul Shakerz, Argon, Dub Police)

I hooked up with Jay Kenzo recently and asked him if he would make something for our Bass Music Mix Series.
The man was up for it and got the mix few days ago in my mailbox so here you go !!

1- So first thanks you for doing this mix for us ! For people who dont know you yet What kind of vibes can we expect in a J:Kenzo set ?

Anything goes really, i love playing deep dubwise riddims aswell the more uptempo dancefloor tracks. Depends on what crowd i am playing to, on a typical set i like to fuse the two together. I believe a dj's set should be about progression... knowing the right time to build the crowd up and bring them back down again.

2- Discovered you through your excellent release on Argon called Mortal Kombat which was pretty deep, then recently you sent me that kind of soca dubstep tune called Hoods up I've been playing a lot (charted on the blog in august), you also did a remix for roska, are you going more in a uk funky soca tropical way right now ? Or you still making different kind of tunes ?

Different kinda tunes, depends on what i'm feeling at the time when i'm in the studio.
The Roska remix was really enjoyable to build, and i'm glad its been accepted across the board from the dubstep heads to the funky crew, I think there is still a great deal of space for producers to experiment in dubstep, that was the whole reason i loved the sound from the beginning.

3 - You're playing at the dub police night @ Fabric in October, pretty excited I guess ? Doest that means you have some stuff forthcoming on the label ?

I'm really looking forward to it! It will be my first booking for dub police and fabric and it falls right on fabrics 10th year anniversary. Tune wise, fingers crossed there will be something out on dub police in the near future. I played Caspa some of my productions which he has signed, but it is all under wraps at the moment.

4- Finally, what's in the pipeline? forthcoming tunes, remixes ?

The next project i'm involved in that will be released is from a german producer some of you may of heard of called Twisted, which is forthcoming on my own label 'Soul Shakerz'. The track is called 'Robots' and feature's a remix from myself and a remix from Roska. The track is due out late October so make sure you check it.
I'm soon to have another 12" ready for Argon Records and i am currently working on an album for release sometime in 2010.
