Renegade Riddims: Octo Pi

Jonathan Morgan, better known on the scene as Octo Pi is a Drum & Bass DJ/Producer from Swansea now living in Bristol.

His back catalogue after years of hard work in the studio is nothing short of jaw dropping with a huge arsenal of original material and remixes under his belt. His style can only be described as ‘Up Front’, with most of his tracks featuring immensely strong and punchy drums coupled with complex melodic basslines set on a backdrop of euphoric, evolving pads. He’s equally at home producing blissed-out, rolling, vocal heavy Liquid Drum and Bass as he is producing balls to the floor, techy-driven steppers.

Octo Pi has had previous releases on Viper Recordings, Jungle Cakes, Audio Addict, Gyro Records, Drum & Bass Arena, V Recordings, Circus, Soul Deep Recordings, Ghetto Dub, Signal Jam Records.

His debut album ‘King Of Camouflage’ dropped in 2018 on Carasel’s AFT Records and gained strong support from a lot of the big players in the scene.

So far 2019 has been a strong year for Octo Pi with festival appearances including Nozstock where we met him, his ‘Mumble’ EP recently released on DJ Hybrid’s Audio Addict imprint, and a release on Hybrid’s new imprint Innovate Audio (check it out here).

Known as a bit of wizard behind the decks, you can expect a 3 deck double dropping face melter of a show! Our mix today is exactly that with a massive 77 tracks over 60 minutes!
