Episodes

  1. I'm moving to mixcloud people

    Podomatic has lost it's edge. Follow me on, https://www.mixcloud.com/mikey_metric/ And the radio show on AfterDark Radio, 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, 5-7, with my man RollingLegs http://www.afterdarkradio.org/ So I'm forced to come up with a show twice a month. Some broken beat vibes to…

  2. Sunday Roasts

    And this is it. The cave is back in Mark 4, but more about that when i post a actually mixed recorded from it. Anyway back to this offering. Now I wasn't mixing or even into dnb when any of these tunes originally came out, the only way I discovered these gems is via the help of old skool tape...

  3. This month's second

    You won't get this many more times this year, two mixes in a month. More dnb for you. Real mixed bag this one, with a liquid backbone. Some of the tunes that have been waiting patiently for the entire series so far have finally arrived. As you can see from the title and the graphic no theme just...

  4. Good Vibrations

    Well it's been a while bit I'm still here and ready to drop another mix for your summer afternoons, recorded back in 2012 in the den mk3, this one is surprising in the fact that 5 years into the podcast these 90's dnb tunes haven't been been played yet.(Diggers Warning: There are some anthems in...

  5. Rave Dark

    Alright, who wants some? Dark beats for the long evenings ahead, not much to say before this one, just some big blends, get in!

  6. One Track Policy

    BACK, ON TIME (relatively) AND ROLLING. This one's another big mix. The theme this time is (was supposed to be) that an artist gets one shot (track) only in the mix, but i have to mention that Dev and his Alaska moniker is the one exception to the rule. but if you have as many Dev Pandya tunes as…

    Sorry for the extended wait. More on that another time Continuing with the dnb focus, this one is for the liquid lover. Sink your teeth into this, A range of liquid tunes from as far back as 2001, not chocked full of the anthems of the either (I've played most of those in other mixes) but some…

    Back again, this time with the 130ish tempo breaking off to broken beat towards the end, lots of goodies in here.

  12. Landscapes

    Welcome, get ready to lose yourselves inside in the mix that is "Landscapes", spanning across the decades bringing you a smooth blend of atmospherics creating textured and deep landscapes. Plenty of amen in there. I really like this one, (i like them actually) Manifest - Revival [Renegade...

  13. The Collective Good

    Yo yo yo, The train keeps on rolling and the episodes keep coming jumping aboard, this one has been 13 years in the making featuring releases as far back as 1996 and artist you wouldn't expect to be featured on a tracklist together, explaining a quirky story of one man and his mind. Story “We’re...

  15. Weight Issues

    Hello everybody, it's been a while, and to put it bluntly I've been holding out on you. This mix was recorded over a month ago, but I was trying save it so as to not have a back to back tough dnb selections, This mix again is packing some serious weight. This one is a mix that I suppose emulates...

  16. Weight Here

Blackman Harris - Prophecy VIP [Scientific Wax] Breakage - Bring Back [Bassbin] Nebula - Trespass [Scientific Wax] Seba & Paradox - Frost [Bassbin] Nebula - Prototype Chords [Subtle Audio Digital] Double O -...

  17. Space & Bass

    Back again, this time rinsing the modern dnb. Predominately autonomic in flavour, some pretty nice mixes in this one (isn't there always?) Starting soft before turning spacey, then dark, then spacey, then dark before finishing rolling. Let me know what you think? Stray - Pushed [Exit]…

    more

  20. Rave Hard

    Back for the first instalment of the 2012 series and I start with ravey jump up dnb. See what you think, not that much fresh (2011/2012) stuff, but hey I try to only play tracks once, so they are all fresh to the cave. I notice there's alot of Metalheadz in this one, these are from the time that...

  21. New Years Fix

    And the final instalment from the cave for 2011 is a little party mix of the kind of tunes you'd catch me playing at house party. Featuring a bunch of 90's to late 00's hip-hop and R&B and some bits in-between. Something to get your new year celebrations started. And knowing that most folks will...

  23. Aggregation

    It's not easy compiling a broken beat mix in today's musical climate. Few are making it like they used to and there's no dedicated regular nights to showcase any new music, which is fine I guess, Because people aren't producing it (well I definitely ain't hearing it. Though Kaidi & Mark Force say...

  24. Sunday Selection Volume 11: Housework

    Going in with the selection, digging deep this one should appeal to anyone looking for a soundtrack to jump around the house while doing those Sunday things you gotta do. Posted late night on a Sunday, its technically Monday here. I guess its for next Sunday's housework, Anyway enjoy it whenever...

  25. What's All This Then

    Returning with a little break from the norm, a party set of many styles all in one set. You won't hear this on Radio 1. Similar mixed bag to the music I used to play at Cocomo. Remember that place? Nah i didn't think so, lol No ace of base in sight. Sorry for the delay on this one, the next one...

  26. The Calm Before A Storm

    Back, and on time. The cave puts out another dnb outing to take you on a journey. Recording during the great unrest of 2011, no not the UK riots. That 'holiday' I had a couple of months back that produced about 5 recorded (and still forthcoming) mixes. Starting light before touching on some…

  27. Here's One I Prepared Earlier

    And we're back, late again despite the title. This IS one I prepared earlier featuring a return of the long awaited broken beat selection which is hard to come by these days in my opinion. Some old bits, some new bits and some bits that aren't even broken. Keeping the line diverse. Foreign…

  28. Metric's Beat Cave Presents: Snakey

    Morning/Afternoon/Evening (whatever day phase this transmission reaches you) Welcome, This time we have something a little different for you, not in musical tastes as such, more a differing in method of compilation. In a hybrid of the styles, one when 'a man named nayf from a forum few would have...

  29. A Leap of Faith

    I suppose now that I (believe I) know the number of regular listeners you guess you would say I should look to expand on those numbers, and I yes you could say the previous show was an attempt to do so, with some lovely dnb rollers that should appeal to the mainstream dnb market (if back in…

  30. Rave Save

    And I return, Things in the den are going amazingly well, But the summer in London is finally here (so they say), and a icy field is your visual simulation, you would think I wasn't happy about the weather. Maybe it's just my imagination being on the haunting wintery setting, that makes this…

  31. Seven Summers

    BACK, that's right! Handing out the goodies once again, this time of the broken variety, slim pickings as that is this days.

  33. Gathering Momentum

    I told you I'd be back,Fresh off the back of a podcast, another one arriving on time and of a different style to the previous, the way it was meant to be I believe.Anyway enough with self congratulation. As the title suggest, this mix delivers in many ways, firstly the fact the podcast is back on…

  34. Shake & Bake

    Hello, Remember this site? Nah? First podcast of 2011, what 5 months in? But who's counting? Anyway this ones a goodie, starting with some of the slower stuff I enjoy but i always find harder to fit in a session due to the tempo to a house heavy influence in the later stages playing some summer...
