2024 & WE’RE GOING ON RAW…
ALWAYS A PLEASURE NEVA A CHORE !

STEPPING UP TO THE TAPE PACK SERIES IS THE DJ FRIEDZ WHO IS KNOWN FOR HIS CREATIVE TECHNIQUE AND GREAT SELECTION. FRIEDZ STEPS UPWITH AN HOUR OF HAND SELECTED ROLLING HEAVYWEIGHT JUNGLE NUMBERS FROM ATMOSPHERIC BREAKS MOVING UP TO HARDCORE: THIS IS A JOURNEY AND A SOUNDTRACK TO CERTAINLY GET YOU MOVING.

FRIEDZ:

THERE’S NO LIGHT WITHOUT DARK. THERE’S NO HAPPINESS WITHOUT SADNESS. THERE’S NO GRIME WITHOUT OUT JUNGLE. SIMPLE. WITHOUT THE GLORIOUS OPTIMISM OF THE MID 90’S THEY’RE WOULDN’T OF BEEN THE ISOLATING MERKY PESSIMISM OF THE 2000S. WHATEVER YOU LOVE YOU GOTTA HAIL UP & UNDERSTAND WHAT CAME BEFORE IT TOO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUTURE OF IT ENTAILS. JUNGLE & DRUM & BASS HAS BEEN A MASSIVE PART OF MY PERSONAL JOURNEY, BUT ALSO SET THE PATH FOR PRETTY MUCH EVERY PRODUCER, DJ OR MC THAT I IDOLISE. JUNGLE TAKES UP AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SPACE IN MY MUSIC COLLECTION & IN MY MIND. I DONE CAME UP ON THE SOUNDS OF DILLINJA, APHRODITE, REMARC, PHOTEK, HYPE, ZINC, SLIPMATT & MANY MORE SOUNDBWOYS OF DAT ILK.

HOLD TIGHT UP @BACKTOBASICRECORDS EACH & EVERY TIME FOR LETTING ME SCRATCH THIS UNBEARABLE ITCH THAT HAS BEEN BUGGING ME FOR ALMOST A GOOD 19 YEARS NOW, FEELS LIKE I’VE JUST LIFTED A WEIGHT OFF MY SOUL. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY & I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THE MIX DIDN’T DISAPPOINT. DEFINITELY ONE FOR DA RAVING CRU, IF YOU DUNKNOW CHECK OUT DESE CATS, BTB NOT COMING TO FUCK ABOUT DIS YEAR. 

I BELIEVE THE SET IS A MIX BETWEEN ATMOSPHERIC & INTELECTUAL JUNGLE CUT UP WITH 160+ BREAKBEATS & HARDCORE, BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, AFTER ALL GRIME & DUBSTEP ARE MY SPECIALIST SUBJECT. I CAN CONFIRM IT’S FAST RUFF & OVERLY NANG WITH A LITTLE SPECKLE OF JOYFUL TWANG. CHECK IT!
