Symbiosis enters 2012 with a whopper of a show – 135 minutes to be exact – featuring an exclusive mix from Leeds UK heavyweights LD50 and Ruckspin.

Part of the Central Beatz collective, the duo have toured up and down the UK in support of some of the biggest and best names in drum n’ bass, as well as promoting club events in Leeds and London. Ruckspin has a burgeoning discography encompassing releases on labels such as Tectonic and Broken Audio, with more in the pipeline. Known for their cerebral and techy take on drum n’ bass, and uncompromising professionalism and skill behind the decks, expect big things from this pair in 2012. Residents Yellowbenzene & Calaco Jack form the vanguard with fresh mixes of tough and funky drum n’ bass.

Somehow, amongst the desperate scramble to release Wiley albums, attend (or avoid) Xmas parties and refurbish Big Dada Towers, we’ve managed to stuff a Christmas stocking of a podcast until its very seams are stretching.

There’s new music from Speech Debelle, Roots Manuva, Bang On!, Dobie and of course, Wiley himself, who’s even contributed a Christmas song he made ‘specially (well, he made, at least.) Dobie talks about a song that influenced him, and picks a cracker, and it’s all effortlessly held together by our very own Bing Crosby – the velvet voiced A La Fu. Pour yourself a brandy, sit back and enjoy. Happy holidays!

Tracklist

1. Wiley – Cheer Up, It’s Christmas
2. Roots Manuva – here we go again
3. Speech Debelle ft Roots Manuva and Realism – blaze up a fire
