Name: Campfire Banger by Patrick Cosmos
Duration: 3 min 6 s
Description: Track written using Ableton Live and Novation Bass Station II.

I recorded the first Junglesbian mix a bit over a year ago. It was the first DJ mix I ever recorded & released & quite honestly, probably one of the first times I managed to mix for an hour without fucking up super egregiously. Although I cringe at some of its blends & transitions, I still regard it pretty fondly because of the searching quality I hear in it. Listening back, it sounds like I’m chasing something, like my head is in the clouds & my eyes are on the horizon. I don’t really know what I’m looking for but I know I haven’t found it.

~~~

Junglesbian 2 comes crashing back to Earth. I’m somewhere in New York & Kingston & London all at the same time but also nowhere. I made it inside the dancehall but the dancehall is a wormhole to hell & I’ve crossed the event horizon. I’m fighting the ghost of Lee “Scratch” Perry after getting too high. I’m playing a game of cat & mouse with the devil, & I’m the mouse & then I’m the cat & then I’m the mouse & then I’m the cat. I must not fear, fear is the Mindkiller.  I’m going to put on an iron shirt & chase the devil out of earth. I will electrocute a soundboy.

~~~

Because in my eyes there is red like blood
And I've been moving around like a human flood
Smoke comes out my mouth and out of my nose
I smoke it in the air, 'cause it must expose

Junglesbian 2: Hannah Account Meets The Disco Devil

@faited b2b @octoocta
Coming at you direct from the Little “T” LUV NRG Soundsystem truck radio! All the galloping and rolling late 90s tech step and proto-neurofunk that Octo Octa and Faited blast out of a tiny bluetooth speaker inside the cab of an Isuzu NPR HD.

This set was played live at Envelope Soundsytem’s 2024 Ēostre ritual deep in the redwood forest within the Oakland, CA hills. The intention behind this ritual: 

“Ēostre marks a period of rejoining with queer family and community, and of setting intentions towards the approaching sun-drenched days. We celebrate this ritual to conjure the collective dream, and to see the fractal paths toward our individual dream’s first concrete forms. But dreaming alone can not dispel living nightmares—we must speak our dreams aloud and act towards them in anger. Come, you and yours, come weave your hopes with ours.”

A new studio set from one of the foundational icons of drum & bass.

Few names in drum & bass carry as much history as Peshay. Paul Pesce came up in the crucible of early rave and left fingerprints on labels like Mo' Wax, Good Looking and, most obviously, Metalheadz. By the time drum & bass was surging in the mid-'90s, he was bolted as one of the scene's most distinctive voices. 

Where others were pushing clinical austerity or waves of dark pressure, Pesce's ear drew him to featherlight, jazzy chords instead. The atmospheric drum & bass movement—or intelligent, as it's sometimes known today—cohered in his hands with timeless staples like "The Piano Tune" and "Miles From Home."

To a contemporary generation, he may now be best known for Studio Set, which caught alight as a prime slice of algorithm fodder on YouTube in the late 2010s, racking up millions of plays. Alongside Bailey’s Intelligent Drum & Bass, the mix has taken on a second life as a seminal document of a genre in flux. All of which made its removal from the internet, based around a spurious copyright strike, a hot concern.

Although a little tad reserved than some of the scene's most dominant names, Pesce has remained a loyal custodian and historian of the sound. While Studio Set was down, we offered him a crack at making something fresh, and though it's thankfully back up, the Kafkian nightmare galvanised his commitment to preserve recorded history.

Known as a DJ for his dynamic way with a groove, extended blends have long been Pesce's signature. You’ll hear plenty of those on his RA Podcast, as golden-age rollers and contemporary vocal cuts push in and out for up to four minutes, painting a portrait of the genre’s vitality from someone who helped define its terms. True to form, RA.993 carries the touch of a jazz conductor and the assured cool of a veteran who's been deep in the culture for over 30 years.

DJ Olive's seminal sleep session was originally recorded and compiled in late 2001 and circulated amongst friends and on an Australian tour as a CDr. The disc shares the same sentiments as Buoy and exposes DJ Olive's talents at crafting gently shifting spatial ambience. Rich textures and deep tone are carefully intermixed and combined with Olive's unique turntable style. The results are quite simply spellbinding - epic, with a markedly personal sensibility.
