I was stagemanager at one of his gigs in the Netherlands and it was fking jaw dropping. I could not believe what I saw and I distinctly remember all the other DJ's at that show being in AWE of his skills on the decks, the layering, the scratching and the live beat cutting (taking two breakbeats and cutting between them to make something completely new). He's just unmatched
The DTRH set right? Out of this world... I saw him at Draaimolen playing b2b with skee mask last year. I don't think I'll ever experience something like that anytime again.
@@LeOn-bc6vf And jeeeez what an amazing set it was, absolutely blew me away, as per! Certain he played that conforce tune at 45 as well, totally in awe of this mans talent and cant wait for the next time i see him
What makes DjRum so special? Huge musical knowledge and in my opinion a continuation of the sound of the 90s in a new version (jungle, breacore, dnb, dub, broken beats, 2step, click n cuts, big beat, ambient techno, idm, glitch ... etcetera). The 80's generation feels right at home. Chapeau bas!
I used to do exactly the same thing and spend hours in those 50p sections of Vinyl Exchange. I remember picking up Ho on Dizzee's Dirtee Stank label (from the Notting Hill one) - think that definitely goes for more than 50p these days! It got to the point where I picked up one of those portable Vestax record players - game changer for digging in the bargain bins! I think I got a good 1/3 of my techno vinyl collection back in the day thanks to those sections.
I just saw him at Melt festival. It was by far the best performance I've heard and seen there this year. Afterwards I came to the conclusion that I didn't really knew what Djing can look and sound like
I wasn’t born early enough to get into vinyl and digging for records in the way that DjRUM is talking about and it’s such a nostalgic feeling even though I never experienced it back in the 90s and 00s. This is so inspirational for so many reasons. Digital may never be the same thing that vinyl is, but keeping the spirit and the soul of this kind of DJing alive in the digital is what I hope to do in my own music.
never too late to get into digging. it's not the same as it was then but the thrill of finding a diamond in the rough, taking it home and listening, sampling it and making something new, never gets old. tangible media has a certain magic (and im not just talking about indistinguishable sound quality differences)
The way he talks about music with the utmost romantic passion is the reason why he's as good as he is. Really enjoyed the vid, watched tower bridge over 10 times!
It's amazing too see him further explain the use of the Ofra Haza record. Blew me away when he played it in the London-Bridge set... I found this record in my dad's record collection a few years ago and made jungle tune out of it myself. suchhh a haunting vocal. Was amazing to hear him use that
Seeing him next Saturday for like the 5th time. I'm excited to see what mad sounds and techniques he will bring every time. Seen Djrum rock festival stages, small, dark basements, Fabric. He has insane chops and confidence in manipulating his material in a precise yet rough way that's so satisfying.
So good to hear worlds collide here - My man Hatti Vatti's tune, combined with Djrum's scratching of flutes in a DJ Krush style - I mean, come on. What's not to like!!
Had the pleasure of watching Djrum DJ on 3 different nights in Manchester and I can honestly say they were some of the best nights I've been to. Absolutely unreal artist.
This guy studio has the most humble setup with a pair of Yamahas HS7 and a freaking Mackie CR5 in the DJ booth and still he makes the craziest stuff among them all producers... Really interesting...
Also started my music journey with downtempo and trip hop and led me to darker sounds as dubstep and then jungle. Maybe that's why i always liked DJRUM so much. The best doing eclectic sets.
wow i just watched the vid through////. thanks for this intimate recording. so cool !!!!!!! i was 10 in '95////. you called out so many of my favs as your early downtempo influence
I love all of your mixes, especially the dekmantel podcast. Amazing track selection and blends all throughout. Please bless us with a new studio mix soon!
When I first listened to Djrum, I assumed it was pronounced like "drum", but at some point I think I heard him referred to as "DJ Rum" and I was kind of bummed, so I felt real vindicated to hear him affirm that it _is_ pronounced Djrum, haha. I've been more and more appreciative of his music over the past 4-5 years, I think, and more and more I consider him one of my favorites.
Djrum is miles ahead of everyone else.
its not even about just linear 'ahead' - he's on another entirely different spectrum
100%%%%%
Djrum, skee mask, and aphex are crazy
Add Paul Woolford (Special Request) to that list
@@DelFloMinor Science too.
When is this guy releasing more music. Man, his stuff is honestly up there with the best electronic music there's been. Need him back ASAP.
he's back
New Single release "Codex" is out and it's amazing
God amongst men, best DJ/producer by FAR in my opinion. Insane creativity and vinyl skills that most modern electronic music DJs don't have these days
Buying everything this man releases on sight ❣
You can tell you are a dude full of kidness. We have such a similar musical taste too. I'm a big fan of your work Djrum.
You know those videos showing up in your feed that you click on within three seconds? This is one of those.
bro's musical knowledge is straight up ethereal

Closing dekmantel in a few weeks. Cannot wait
Where you at DTRH? That set was insane

@@piripiri995goddamn 😮🔥
One of the best artists of our time
Thoroughly agree
Once I saw him perform, my life changed, truly legendary
Wonderful stuff. Could imagine how inspiring it would be to hang out with Djrum
It's lovely to see the guy whose album is the most valuable (both in price and personal value) in my collection be giddy about his collection.
This guy is my absolute idol. He has the Midas touch, what a legend. That Conforce tune at 170 sounds m i n t

same thoughts! it was amazing
I was privileged enough to support this guy back in 2019. He signed my copy of St. Martin! Absolute legend and super humble/down-to-earth dude.
Absolutely wonderful listening to DJRUM talk and run some of his records. He can do no wrong.
This is brilliant. Listening to him talk is making me love music again.
when he put on L-Wiz i got mad chills
Gawd Distance was so good!
He's still about! A bit quieter these days but he's still doing music
packed grove at sustain , every single person's mind being blown collectively. one of the most exceptional musical experiences ever.
This video is a pure blessing! Thank you Fabric, thank you DjRUM

I shook his hand at the fuse club in Brussel, ever since I first saw him I go to all his sets in Belgium
Skills..!! Love this. Big Up DJRUM, Big Up Fabric...

one just gotta love him
one of the few artists who evoke the feeling of listening to aphex for me

So so inspiring
Excellent to see him closing out with a Commodo track, another one of the most interesting producers coming out of the UK right now.
Fantastic!

DJRUM is literally the best!
Felix is the best and most talented DJ in the world. Spread the word!

A league of his own
Ridiculously brilliant DJ and producer, a really talented guy!
Love that vinyl sound

Djrum has been a huge influence on my more recent RUclips mixes, embrace the downtempo and keep vinyl alive! ❤

Aching for new material from him.
Incredible DJ! I hope to see you again soon in Bucharest, mate.
what a cool insight

When he said "what jungle record would I save?" I said to myself, personally id save Hot stuff by roni size. Then he said the exact same thing!
Salute
Please man release a new album!
March 2025
when seeing him on RUclips, it feels that I can dj and make music like he does. when sitting before my studio, I see that I don’t for I don’t…
I know that feeling! Real masters make it all appear so effortless!
Wicked video. Love that stripped back Congo Natty plate!
Never thought I’d hear ofra haza - im nin’alu
KING
Has this guy put a comp together? Needed.
Djrum is a genius. Does anyone know the background music?
"A record that you see that's solo flute, you kinda know straight away, that's gonna be kinda useful" - Djrum thoughts
The wizard
Piling on the comments to agree that this guy is just streets ahead of almost everyone - generational
Its been waaaaay too long since this guy released anything
soon
does anybody know what is the album up in the top right at 0:44? i have salt/pepper shakers that look exactly like that
genius
Wow
Genius
Is it just me or does his studio look like straight from a Wes Anderson movie set?
yes yes
Track id 9:34?
bluster (Djrum remix) - wordcolour
homeboy got a cute house
Announce new release, Felix!
