The Hornets' Nest is the audio from DJ sets that El Hornet streams on his Twitch channel. It can be anything from absolutely upfront and exclusive Drum and Bass dubs, DNB classics from his huge record collection, oldschool hardcore, jungle or even happy hardcore. Occassionally he throws a deep house or bangin' tranthem mix at ya too. Loads of banter, lots of people in the chat going crazy, it's a LOT. Moisties and Bushpigs are all welcome!
Recorded Tues 29th of April 2025.I'd been surfing, had lunch and then decided to fire it up for a DNB session.Thanks for so many resubs.Hornets Nest forever.This audio also contains 20 minutes or so of Dave Jacksons stream cause I forgot to trim it off the end LOL :D
Recorded April 11th, 2025. A morning sojourn through some DNB classics. Too easy.
Recorded on the 11th of March 2025.A quick rip through some Big Beat and Breakbeat faves.My internet connection was being sketchy as ever so this is a short one.Enjoy!
On this weeks edition of The Hornest Nest we bid a sad farwell to a fellow Twitch streamer, burner71.Chris Burner Clay was a streamer, a pirate radio host, a BMX head from the 80's and a proper jungle and DNB head through and through. I raided into Burner countless times over the last 5 years and he was always up, always on, and always playing good tunes. He lived for it.I will miss seeing him in the chat and watching his streams. RIP sir.

Recorded 26th July 2024. I played records mostly. Oh and Gaybar at least 3x.I hope you like it.
A milestone stream that ran for 4 dang hours!A little over 4 years ago The Hornets Nest was born. Transmitting from the utility closet of a Western Australian beach house, I really had no idea what to expect from the world of online streaming as I'd paid it very little attention in the past.Due to Covid I found myself stuck in my hometown which felt all too alien after living overseas for 17 years. I'd decided to move home at the end of 2019 as I had a child on the way and a 3 year old who I wanted to grow into a full sick Aussie kid like I was. Little did I know that a few short months after that move, the world would go into lockdown and our borders would close.Fast forward to June 2020 and I had a 3 month old baby, a career in tatters, and a marriage on the rocks. I realised that for once in my life I had all my records in one place and unpacked. So amidst the most elevated stress levels I've ever experienced I turned to Twitch and constructed a extremely basic streaming setup. Some of the OG's reference 'broom cam' periodically as I quite literally taped an old webcam to a broom handle, pointed it sort of towards my turntables and hit 'go live'.If not for the community of Twitch I do not know how my life would have panned out. I fear it might have gone very differently to how it did and I owe a debt of gratitude to the platform and to the fans for keeping me connected to the world that I had previously hopped around so freely.It was a blessing and it got me through the darkest days.I am eternally grateful.We've grown, we 've lost and we've loved.Heres to you, the moisities, the bushpigs, the Nest gang. Thank you.
Recorded on Twitch Monday the 13th of May 2024.A whole lot of tuna. Mixed into a Youtube video.Played an Anscenic vs Ruxton gabber collab from before Pendulum existed.It's almost a year since Greg passed and he is missed so I wheeled out the Gabber Canoe.Went off on a mad one after that and played an hour of multi genre madness.Best stream of the year imo.
I realised there was a second half to EP 139, recorded on the 24th of January.This is it.
Recorded live on Twitch Feb 19th 2024.Lots of dnb and then lots of other not dnb yeah? Rinseout.
A multi genre meander through pastures of sound. Valentines day. It's best celebrated a day early or late. Recorded live on Twitch Feb 14th 2024.
I bought lots of good records on tour and on one deck I play those and on the other deck I play a digital record by the same person who made the vinyl I just played. Make sense? Some actual dubplates. Bants. Kylie Minogue 7 inches of love. Rinse out.
Recorded on Twitch on the 7th of October, this is a nice little session from the vinlay collection.All analogue, all love. Enjoy.
Back from the dead with a Twitch stream recorded on the 11th of September 2023.I played whatever I freakin wanted. Thats it.Thanks if you listened to this, let me know on socials if you did!Respect.
Recorded live on Twitch on the 8th of August 2023.I have reached the milestone of 7000 Twitch followers, hooray!This absolutely took fkn forever on the slowest growth platform on earth however I didn't get my tatties out once and no hottubs were required to gain this accolade.I have a 1.7% subscriber to follower ratio on Twitch so if you're one of the 120 subscribers out of 7000 followers of my channel on Twitch - thanks a whole lot. I know many of you in person now too and am super stoked I got to meet you IRL or chat breeze with you online.Given 99% of my peers have stopped streaming DJ sets I am glad to still be on the platform delivering good times on a weekly basis but you gotta ask yourself sometimes .. what is the point? The point is I love DJ'ing but one day a time will come where the effort vs reward becomes undeniable. This has been my job for over 20 years and there is only so many hours in the day. If you'd like to see this continue throw your pennies in the ring! Donate, sub, gift a sub, whatever you can contribute to keep the lights on. Simple economics I guess.Long live The Hornets Nest - for now. Rinse out.
The second half of the Pizza and Vinyl party. Myself, Weaponess, Kev, Rousa, Saran, Sinistah. Rinse!Shouts to [0160], Teknoscape, #rave, The Drumclub, MFI, Delirium, Gravity, Infirmary, Bench Crew, The Factory, Influencez, etc!
Recorded on the 14th of July, this stream was a Friday night session at home with the homies. Just like we used to do back in the day all the crew came round for a mix and everyone brought records.This stream features DJ's Sinistah, Kev, Rousa, Weaponess, Saran, and myself. Super fun session I've split into 2 parts as it ran for 4 hours.Enjoy!
A massive stream of lots of different rave songs. DNB at the start, then I got the itch to drop a tranthem which turned into a few more tranthems, breaks, techno, etc. Big raids from danomate, Galvertron5, djdavejackson and DJOMINAYA.A proper good session this one, enjoy!
So I was going to stop uploading these but maybe I will keep doing them.Hit me on the socials if you read this and want me to carry on with these!Recorded live on Twitch on the 9th of July 2023. What a delightful stream! Just great records really.My solo Mountain Terrace release is also out now on Kniteforce Again.Go get that 10 inch press! It's called 'The Double Love EP" andfeatures MC's Kev and Charlie B, as well as hardcore piano maestro Davos.Available on the Kniteforce webstore. Go!
Recorded on the 7th of June, this stream was a comemmoration of sorts for a fallen Nest soldier.Sadly, Greg Tangey aka Ruxton, lost his life after a super heavy heart issue. I'd known Greg since around 1999 and my fellow Pendulum member Rob Swire had known him for even longer. He was one of the first supporters of my stream and front and centre at every show during my early pre-Pendulum days before I left Australia. A great DJ, an accomplished MC and my kinda nerd. A supporter of everyones efforts in music, always there with a positivity that many of us needed to push us forward. He will be missed. RIP Greg.
More music. Recorded 3rd of April 2023 on Twitch. I'm off on tour. If you're in Rome, Lyon, LA, Las Vegas, DC, Toronto or Denver Imight see ya!
Recorded live on Twitch on the 27th of March 2023. RAVE MUSIC SONGS.
Back in the nest on a sombre note. We mourn the passing of foundation Drum and Bass MC and vocalist, Singin' Fats.Recorded on 14/3/23 live on Twitch, I weaved my way through some of my favourite records featuring Fats from the last 25+ years.Such a legend, I will miss him.
Recorded Monday 27/02/23 this is a stream of songs but I cut out that song.Enjoy.
More dig, more records, more fun. Smooth grooves once again. Recorded 20/2/23.Rinse out.
We're back baby.Hornets Nest 3.0 is in effect.I moved house, it sucked, but The Nest is unpacked and thestream is back.Recorded on 14/2/23 this is a little stroll through some smooth vinyl.All my faves pretty much. Enjoy.
This was recorded live on Twitch on Monday the 9th of Jan, 2023, and for now...this is it.120 podcast episodes, many many more streams and 31 months of Twitch draws to a close. I am packing up the studio, the records are all in boxes, the stream machine and cameras are in storage. Moving house with a record collection the size of mine is pure hell. It took me so long to get it unpacked last time that I shudder at the thought of getting it all set up again.I don't know when I'll be back so for now I bid you farewell. Thanks for all the support during the last 2 and a half years, see you on the flip!- El Hornet
Recorded on my Mums birthday 14/12/22. A series of 6's. Her mum is 96, she's 66, I'm 46 and my eldest kidlet is 6.Anyway I went down the coast for a couple days downtime and as soon as I got home I turned on the stream machine at like 10pm and made some DJ fun times! No plans, all the genres. Wild style.Maximum.
Still in a vinyl mood so my usual Monday stream was DNB/Jungle vinyl this week.Recorded on the 5th of Dec 2022. Lots of good tunes and one record I stopped half way through as it was hot garbage. They can't all be winners but you are.Good bants, nice crew, wonderful music. Rinse out.
Recorded live on Twitch the 3rd of December 2022.I've been feeling inspired to look back on some of the records in my collection that I used to play before Pendulum existed. Dj'ing for me in those days (pre 2003) was a really varied affair and the sound of Drum and Bass seemed to evolve and change so quickly it was hard to keep up.No rhyme or reason to this mix, just great records really.Enjoy.
Recorded on the 29th of November 2022 this was my regular Tuesday Stream - started with some good dnb then went off piste and freestyled it for an hour or so.Good times, great chat, big love to The Nest crew.

Recorded on a Friday night - 18th of November 2022.I went out, then came home, then played some records!2+ hours of vinyl mixing from the stacks. Lots of 90s jumpup dnb, a few liquid numbers, and a great party vibe all round. Super fun stream, thanks!
Recorded on Monday the 14th of November 2022.I've been under the weather and not on stream much. Feeling about half way back to normality so turned on the e-machine and got comfortable.
