Peoples Station #56 - 15/02/25 - Vali NME Click - 1995/96 Atmospheric Jungle

Hello. I've been drifting around that late '93/early '94 timeframe again, revisiting a few of the later Sublove tapes through to the Counterforce compilation, Ratty Edge tapes and so on, and figured this series was due a new entry. Representing an amazingly creative, pioneering era for breakbeat music, there's a nice balance of light and darkness in this selection (if I do say so myself). Artwork reboot required though, I couldn't face doing another label montage...

Enjoy the mix, comments and reposts appreciated as always :)

Subterranea Vol.1

G'day folks. Had a couple more jungle compilations in my sights over the Xmas break, to be unveiled soon as I come out of hibernation, but first of all... 
Internal's Counterforce LP from early 1994 is a lovely obscure compilation that I've rinsed many times, even made my own mix (refer to exhibit A: https://on.soundcloud.com/fgLsecS1vuf6SoNq7), and decided an alternate selection on a similar basis, i.e. early atmospheric jungle, would be jolly nice. Sits well alongside the Evolution of Hardcore mixes, if that's your thing. Downloads on, enjoy, comments & reposts always appreciated :)

Selectabwoy's Counterforce Inverted Mix

ash jungle

Madness!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥22/7/25.

Been idly planning this one for a while. All credit to Greg @kolanut for the inspiration - after listening to his excellent space/illness themed mixes a while ago, I knew I was going to have to do an aquatic concept mix at some point. 

Why water? Like many other Pisceans, I don’t buy into the astrology bullshit whatsoever. However, there's something special about the overlap between music and water in nature that I love in both a literal sense - tracks that feature the sound of raindrops, waves crashing etc. - and as an abstract. Evidently I’m not the only one - the ‘floaty’ aesthetic of some of the more ambient side of D&B lends itself nicely to an aquatic theme. Granted, I’ve no idea whether tracks titled ‘River Of Dreams’ or ‘Mysteries Of The Deep’ would conjure up the same vibe under a different name, but it really doesn’t matter. Most of these tunes I’ve known for a long, long time – for me the titles are inextricably linked to the music and so form part of the narrative here.

Thinking about it, I’m not even sure why it took so long to get around to this mix, as planning and executing it was possibly more enjoyable than any other I’ve done. Working with a specific theme provides a nice excuse to bring together styles and producers that on the face of it might not seem an obvious match, the main task being to figure out some kind of continuity. It was also a great opportunity to trawl the internet for watery track titles and discover a handful of hitherto unknown pearls. Rest assured I’ve got plenty more set aside :) 

Enough words, dive in!
