The mix reaches an ultimate climax and then the energy crawls it’s way back down. The mix serves a vivid representation of the energy building on a dance-floor, throughout the night. The four and a half hour mix span’s through house, techno, breaks, grime, acid, rave, electro and a whole lot more.

All U Need come through with quite frankly, all you could possibly need in a mix. As a solid crew in their own right, it makes sense for them to take the reigns every now and then, promoting the sounds they curate in the club. Foremost, the trios main focus is to promote local and emerging talent, who are briefed to play “solid club music” every week in Subclub, as well as promoting their favourite emerging international DJs. ALL U NEED has been a constant for 7 years, set up by a group of friends getting to do what they love week in, week out. Upon visiting Glasgow and attending their party, the crew, not only excellent hosts and party throwers, we got to experience first hand their tight mixing skills really and absolute fun taste in tunes. The Glasgow based collective, made up of Alex Dobie, Zander Coulter and Graham Brown, first came onto our radar back in 2019, whilst we worked on a sold out KETTAMA club show in Glasgow's huge SWG3 venue. Today we're buzzed to welcome 3 of Scotland's soundest promoters and party starters, ALL U NEED to our hot seat, as they provide us with a whopping 4 hours 30 mins mix of club heat, recorded live from Subclub, in Glasgow on Halloween night.
PRE GIBSON TOBIAS BASS SERIES
Too bad there is only 350 being made.Our 55th mix in our ever-growing Global Mix series this week comes from a collective, rather than the usual touring or emerging artists. It is matched with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard without inlay markers or binding. The neck is constructed from pure maple with purple heart laminate for a creamy feel and comfortable playability. The neck and body function as a single unit, resulting in longer sustain and better tone. Gluing the 34”-scale length neck to the body of the bass ensures an exact “wood-to-wood” contact, leaving no air space in the neck cavity to ensure maximum contact between the neck and body. What, more enhancements?–Other key feature of the Tobias Growler is the change from using a bolt-on neck to gluing it in place. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the bass is properly intonated, leaving the instrument “Plek’d” for maximum playability. The Plek is a German-made, computer-controlled machine that thoroughly measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, eliminating string buzz and improving the guitar’s action.

Another great feature that integrates well with the bass, and what is arguably the guitars’ best overall enhancement - the revolutionary Plek system setup. The new, fully adjustable “Quad Bass” truss rod allows players to adjust the Growler’s neck in both directions for almighty precision.

First, Gibson enhanced the Growler’s truss rod by making it bi-directional. How does the Tobias Growler play?–The Tobias Growler features two key differences. Additional controls include the volume knob, and separate treble, mid and bass controls. A separate pickup-blend control allows you to sweep between all four of its coils for limitless tonal possibilities that are on tap. The pickup is cast in epoxy to remove any unwanted microphonics and feedback. A quad-coil, 5-string bass pickup from Bartolini delivers an enriched resonant frequency range, along with more air and definition at the top end without sacrificing its mids and low end punch. How does the Tobias Growler sound?–The Tobias Growler gets its power from one of the finest bass pickups in the business. Each guitar comes with a rugged black Gibson hardshell case and each will have its own exclusive Limited Run Series certificate of authenticity. Like all the guitars from the Limited Run Series, only 350 Growler basses will be produced and distributed. The Growler’s tone is unique and hard to match.

PRE GIBSON TOBIAS BASS FULL
Swamp ash tonewood is characterized by vast, open pores and soft layers, which give each Growler a deep, full and reverberation of tone across the entire frequency spectrum. How is the Tobias Growler constructed?–Beginning with the bass’ solid, multi-piece swamp ash wood body, the Tobias Growler bass is one of the most resonant basses ever constructed by Gibson USA. 30-plus-years-later, the quality and precision of a Tobias bass has reached new heights in the 2009 Limited Run Series Tobias Growler from Gibson Guitars USA.
