too many of them recently. wave of talents on the way. lol indeed.

Source Direct second release on Tempo’s SPEED series from the living legendary ‘call & response’ originator: Source Direct. On this release you’ll find three new Source Direct tracks that never got released on vinyl before. Material with ‘that’ distinct trademark SD sound; superbly engineered breakbeats, the relentless sonic, rhythmic, tempo experimentation and haunting ‘Blade’ film-scape ‘dark sounds from beyond’ atmospheres accompanied with deep sub-aquatic resonant bass lines. If there’s one production technique Source Direct applied it’s the ‘call & response’ technique (the latter is also the track title of SD’s contribution to 1998’s Stephen Norrington’s ‘Blade’ cult movie which starred Wesley Snipes).
Source Direct, along with Goldie, Photek, Peshay and Wax Doctor, one of a handful of stand-out artists who were signed to major labels in the wake of Jungle’s/Drum and Bass’ popular explosion.
Around 1995 Source Direct would have been primarily known as ‘intelligent’ or ‘Speed’ artists (after LTJ Bukem’s and Fabio’s legendary SPEED midweek club, held at the Mars Bar in central London). Speed, and then Metalheadz at the Blue Note shortly afterwards, helped pave the way for dj’s & producers like Source Direct to experiment with deeper material.
Vinyl collectors please check: This release comes as a strictly limited copies handnumbered 180gram Picture Disc Vinyl pressing with a high quality polybag sleeve (including a handnumbered qty sticker on polybag corner) + all tracks mastered by Stuart Hawkes of Metropolis Mastering London. First come, first served, no picture disc repress!

FIRST 015-115 NUMBERED PICTURE DISC VINYL EDITIONS WILL BE SEND VIA T3MPO.COM & BANDCAMP ONLY!

Veteran of the Parisian electronic scene and co-founder of Technorama label & parties, Dj Jee now launching his own label called Sound Enforcers. The credo: Beats, Breaks & Beyond.

For his first release, Sound Enforcers hits hard with the incredible André Oliveira Sobota alias Bungle. The Brazilian artist is a pillar of the drum & bass scene who has already established himself on many respected labels such as 31 records, Critical, C.I.A etc...

No frills here, the titles 'Downtown', 'Testify' and 'Under Control' are straight to the point and are all calibrated for the dancefloors. Sometimes dark & groovy, sometimes deep or a little more broken, Bungle ensures the show with a very solid package.

The soundtrack of winter without a doubt!

Seba - In Your Arms Again - Suicide103

Here's a mix someone managed to dig out for me which I'd completely lost from the archives.  This was the first time I'd played for the Bladerunnaz guys in Budapest (one of many so thanks to Gabor and Gabor!).  

I've given the mix an overall re-master just so it's more balanced overall as the original recording wasn't sounding as good as it should (levels too low / a few up and down dips from the sound engineer etc).  

Hope you like the mix.  The image used was actually taken on the night itself (still had some hair left in 2005!).
