Summer Of '95 (Part Two)

Fuck it, bonus mix this weekend... back to the halcyon days of '94. I need to see some sun, maybe this will help coax it out. Also serving as a gleeful celebration of the tories getting smashed yesterday, and some twat putting on a hat, which obviously I couldn't give a shit about, but means I can make some anti-monarchy scones later.

Summer Of '94 Jungle Selection (Part 5)

Enjoy this cacophony of dark electro, funk, and digital chaos. A mix made in honor of the creators who have truly influenced me the most. In particular, Simian Mobile Disco and Soulwax, who showed me at a young age just how far music can go in a club setting. This is my collage of nostalgia, futurism, and equality. A slow motion locomotion of saturated synths and outlandish basslines. There are so many different styles and regions at play here, and that is what is all about my friends. While this may seem a deviation from my earlier Progressive releases, to me all it's rooted in the same thing, which is mixing. 

I based my name on Clive Barker's work for a reason. His themes often center on identity, and the consequences of conformity. To embrace and celebrate societal taboos and the weird thoughts that twist in our brains. This mix is an expression of just that. All that came before, all that is now; that put me where I am today. To quote Barker:

"Nothing ever begins. There is no first moment; no single word or place from which this or any other story springs. The threads can always be traced back to some earlier tale, and the tales that preceded that".

A rare Sunday upload from me: the final part of the aquatic jungle series. Been sat on this one far too long, it was put together back in early 2023, but the weather's too good not to share it. Ambient/atmospheric jungle is the perfect summer soundtrack for me, and these watery bastards are about as close to a Bukem-style mix as I've got so far.  There's a nice variety of styles on this one ... hope you enjoy it.

Aquatic Jungle (Part Five)

Drum on your tub and sing
Very good change will bring
Peace of mind mind in hand
Hit it good as you can

Modern world profit gland
Very good Uncle Sam
What a find finding friends
Hit it good as you can

And when I think about what brought me to my knees I know 
They say desire is the root of all my suffering oh no
I believe it’s good for me
I believe it’s good for me
I believe it’s good for me
I believe it’s good for me

Drum on your tub and sing
Winter too becomes spring
Pounding on diaphragm
Hit it good as you can

Take her to promised land
Greater good honest man
Sound of mind found a friend
Hit it good as you can

Oi oi.

I've thought about this many times, and have concluded that my favourite era of jungle music, hands-down, is the spring/summer period of 1994. 

To me it wasn't quite so apparent at the time - I wasn't venturing out to proper jungle nights until later that year, and my view was polarised by a monogamous record-buying relationship with artists and labels that I semi-religiously followed throughout 1993 - the likes of Dee Jay, Skanna, Moving Shadow, Basement and Reinforced. However, with the wisdom of hindsight, and particularly after listening to loads of summer sets from the likes of Brockie, Ron and Jack Frost, the melting pot of sounds is obvious and utterly wonderful. Ragga jungle was suddenly everywhere and yet there were still elements of hardcore/rave - uplifting pads, chipmunk diva vocals - throughout the music, with DJ sets effortlessly transitioning from Nookie to M-Beat, Foul Play to Brainkillers, Tek-9 to Kings of the Jungle. 

Simply put, it was a great time and this is my tribute to it. As ever, enjoy!

PS. huge shout to @j-j-frost for finally releasing the Amen mix of Burial into the wild. Badman!
