At the very coalface of the UK rave/breakbeat/techno/call it what you like scene since the 1990s, Jerome Hill is something of a hidden treasure amongst the plethora of DJs and producers to have dropped both bangers and bloopers over the ensuing three decades.  With minimum of fuss and fanfare, Hill has steered record labels like Super Rhythm Trax, Don’t, Fat Hop and Hornsey Hardcore to revered acclaim, as well as firing out a consistent stream of releases for imprints such as Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Jr, Exalt Records, and I Love Acid, to name but a few.

Surprisingly, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is Hill’s debut album after a production career that kicked off in 1998 as one half of Groove Asylum. And its collection of unabashed acid and rave bangers is a perfect fit for the Hypercolour label, whose personnel over the last few years has included Luke Vibert, DMX Krew, Shelley Parker and Gary Gritness.  Tracks produced directly for club play; the album features 8 cuts destined to fit in cross-genre sets.

With pumping electro cuts such as ‘Deafening Lull’ and ‘Knob Jitter’, four to the floor acid stompers like ‘Walk The Plank’, the mutant garage of ‘Brought Up Badly’ and the house groover ‘Stax Had The Funk’, ‘Flow Mechanics’ is a joyous romp through rave’s sound palette, replete with playful samples and skits (featured on the vinyl LP version), and a mischievous demeanour that affords the listener an lively album that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Jaine

Next up we’ve invited Jaine. Lars is not your average producer, but would rather be referred to as a true sound artist. Being a student at the Music & Technology faculty at HKU (Utrecht), his main expertises are composition, creative coding, and sound design. As a DJ, he is always looking to blend in a wider palette of sounds, taking inspiration from a broad spectrum of places. For the past years, there's been a main focus on compromising between after-hours and post-clubbing atmospheres. That said, he’s someone who tries to maintain a gig-to-gig approach when finding himself on or in front of the dance floor. That’s where there will always be the challenge of projecting his ‘solution’ on the given sound system, the listener and himself.

For this mix, Jaine had two initial ideas: a more dance-floor-minded setting, or something that lies completely beyond the point of traditional club tunes. He decided to record the mix at the end of the day, moulding all the experiences he encaptured throughout into a carefully selected ensemble dubbing it “the 25th hour”. His overall mood ended up with a mix loaded with a combination of electronic, electro-acoustic, and experimental pieces. It gradually progresses and reaches an emotional consensus at the end, consisting of recent finds and old favourites.

Machines In Effect

Broadcasting from the South West of the UK expect a lot of jungle, dub, hardcore and sounds loosely termed "rave".  The more "left field" the better and our selectors try to bring a few less heard cuts to the mix. We love the roots of the scene, respecting  the forefathers and mothers of the music so we'll be dropping some classics  in with the new tracks pushing bass music forward. Alongside the above genres we can't miss out on a good tune so  you'll also hear  acid house, balearic , house and their  evolutionary  offspring  like trip hop, dubstep, d&b, UK Garage and more...

If you have a track that you'd like us to play on  a show please get in touch via a DM. Dubs always welcome!
