VINYL LIMITED TO 300 COPIES

MUSIC: DJ PERSUASION
MASTERING: BOB MACC
CUT: SIMON DAVEY
ART DIRECTION: JON K

Ulterior Motives launch their main label with a single from DJ Persuasion, featuring a Liftin’ Spirits remix from Ant Miles. The label, which is helmed by DJ and producer Noah Tucker, began life in 2021 with an anonymous edit of a much-loved underground hip hop gem. Two further 12”s in the white label series followed along similar lines, joining the dots between jungle, footwork and r’n’b in UM style. Since then, they have also launched their cassette series with a Metrist mix covering golden era tech step and d’n’b.

DJ Persuasion is principally known for A History Of Hardcore, a series of ten mixes covering ’88-’98 which appeared across a number of platforms between 2015 and 2020. Certain entries in the series appeared on cassette via The Trilogy Tapes, Blackest Ever Black (Id Mud) and Tape Echo. Persuasion also hosted the NTS Demon Poetry show (now the Drum Poetry show) for some years, and contributed In Focus sessions covering the work of Dillinja and LTJ Bukem, alongside Dev:Null.

Jameela EP covers four contrasting, but also concentric areas of the hardcore continuum, featuring a remix from Liftin’ Spirits aka Ant Miles of Origin Unknown. The title track rolls out at bleeding edge jungle hardcore tempo, taking in a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar references. Liftin’ Spirits contributes a standout remix which reframes Jameela as a drum’n’bass epic, opening with a panoramic intro and a quaking bass drop, then building to soaring strings. Robin Gets Revenge is an audial intervention into one of the last remaining unsolved mysteries in acid house, and a stomping 89’-’90 style jammer to boot. The B2 finds Jameela in a slower guise, offering something for after the club and the warm up.

In this episode of INSIGHTS, I am joined by Dis Fig, who’s genre bending blend of  industrial, dub and ambient has formed an  impressive catalogue of solo and collaborative efforts, notably her 2019 debut album ‘PURGE’, as well as ’In Blue’ with dub legend The Bug and her staggering new album entitled ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven’, which sees her monumental vocals and power electronics combine with the crushing doom of formidable avant-metal giants The Body. It gives me great pleasure to welcome Felicia Chen to the show!

Over the course of this interview, Felicia discusses formative experiences and influences ranging from karaoke, choir and MTV to Canto-Pop, Rancid and Destiny’s Child, as well as discovering the club music that would go on to influence her DJ style including Digital Mysticz, footwork and Jersey club and layering genres to create new forms. Next, Felicia reflects on the making of her debut album ‘PURGE’ five years on, working with The Bug and the making of ‘In Blue’, collaborating remotely and discovering a sound together, before discussing collaborating with The Body, the making of 'Orchards Of A Futile Heaven', bringing her vocals to the forefront and the album’s themes and imagery, concluding by highlighting some favourite music selections, future projects and forthcoming tour.

Clips of ‘To Walk a Higher Path’ and ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven ’ by Dis Fig & The Body from the album ‘Orchards of a Futile Heaven on Thrill Jockey Records are used in this podcast.
