Welcome to the seventh episode of Cable TV, taking you behind the scenes at Cable London, with exclusive artist interviews and footage, as well as much more.
This weeks episode features a Drum and Bass dynasty, as the mighty Virus Recordings celebrated 15 Years at the very top of their game, here at Cable. Responsible for some of the most forward thinking music to ever come out of the scene, including Ed Rush & Optical's seminal album, Wormhole, Virus paved the way for many of the current DnB crop. We caught up with label boss Ed Rush to find out his thoughts on the past 15 years, his take on analogue and digital production, as well as talking about his much anticipated new album with Optical.
The legendary Matrix also joined us on the couch to talk about what Virus means to him, discussing sibling rivalry with his brother, Optical, and the current state of Drum and Bass.
Of course Vivek was on hand as always to have a chat with a few people round the club, as well as using his "special powers' to get someone free entry.
Full interviews and bonus material from the night coming soon, as well as more outtakes from Vivek.

Track is 'The Host' by Ed Rush & Optical, it will be part of the new LP due out 2013 on Virus recordings...

[@Blahdnb]

You made us waiting for it two years longer actually but it it was worth it ;) cheers!

[@jamescrowther1234]

Only 2 years late, ayy Matt 😉

[@atc200xfanatic3]

I agree with Ed about the analogue sound. Sure do miss those days.

[@k.c.lejeune6613]

The analogue sound blows away any type of digitally produced sound by a HUGE margin. Analogue sound, samplers, synths, drum machines, vinyl records, Technics turntables, the whole lot, will always be king.

[@apoplexiamusic]

samplers are digital... except the filters on some models. most drum machines produced since the 80's are digital, with only now a few companies coming out with full analog models

[@sasibee39]

Love this for long time now

[@samisamuri]

Man that 15 years of Virus night at Cable was sick! RIP Cable

[@mierecords]

Thank you! It is called "The Host" from Ed Rush & Optical. I found it on KZbin. It was first posted in 2011. Unfortunately, it might be one of those tunes that never get released.

[@MYNAMACHEF]

[@bloodclotsoldierdnb1925]

[@joeriley7924]

[@blastradius7193]

Is this the guy that wrote chain reaction from voyager kru?

[@twocans98]

Ed Rush sounds like such a fairs bloke

[@mierecords]

Can anyone ID the first track in this video? Thanks!

[@Bigbeatmanifesto]

i think its a mix of a song i don't know and 'the host' (dont hold me to that though) should deffo record the mix and release it though cos its fucking sick

[@chilli.mayonnaise]

What is the first track?

[@DRONEROC128]

Still groovin to the background beat during the interviews haha

[@biggnelson74]

Is this the same Matrix that works with Futurebound?

[@purrup1]

Yeah, it is. Matrix used to make neurofunk with Fierce often before he switched to liquid.

[@rcallzfriddims3583]

VIRUS FOREVER!

[@apoplexiamusic]
