Big ups massive mix my selecta 👍 will be listenin at work

This part 1 of a a very special two mix set dedicated to classic drum n' bass sounds, reimagining nights at two of the most influential London clubs of all time: Speed and Metalheadz. This mix focuses on imagining a night at Speed at the Mars Bar, Soho ... a night I never went to!

From the blog post:

Taking place on a Thursday as well as being located right in the heart of London instead of a massive warehouse on the outskirts meant that Speed attracted a different, more mature crowd, including curious fans of other styles of electronic music as well as people from the music industry. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this night to the development of the lighter side of drum n’ bass – it was a testing ground for new sounds that could then be taken on the road around the UK (and the world!) on the weekends. It was a place where people from the scene – producers, dj’s, a&r’s, hangers-on – could connect, interact and plan collaborations. It was somewhere that this sound could take root and grow, away from the pressure cooker environment of the big raves, where thousands of teenagers wanted the latest mental sounds. It was also a crucial venue for spreading the sound beyond the existing scene, a place where people who would never dream of going to a One Nation or AWOL or Roast could be turned on to high-speed breakbeats.

Dan Mid 90's Deep Jungle Vol 2

this is the mix, consisting of Moving Shadow releases only, clocking in at 4 (four) hours and is the first mix of three. all tracks featured (except one) are from releases with catalogue numbers before 100 - roughly at that time there was a major change in drum&bass as a whole - it became more cold, nervous, machine-like and I felt emotionally more connected to the more soulful, atmospheric and jazzy stuff being released earlier than that.

as you might have figured out by now, I was - and still am, in a way - an addict of this fine label which managed to release a hell of an amount of most forefront quality drum&bass and jungle of it's time. I was so obsessed I had to get every single vinyl Moving Shadow release. after 250 or so releases, I still am halfway. for me, it was a label with unsurpassed quality/quantity ratio, with an unique sound, the cream of the crops, the icing on a chocolate cake. few other drum&bass labels have ever gotten close to this, most notably the Good Looking empire, Metalheadz.

if anyone should care, it was recorded using two stanton st-90 turntables, a numark dm3001x mixer and two stanton sk520 cartridges, meaning it's an all vinyl mix and recorded in one go.

as I said before, there are two more 4-hour moving shadow only sessions. my ultimate dream would be to re-record and re-master these mixes using digital copies, to ensure the best sound quality which the pieces of music contained definitely deserve. these mixes were intended to be a journey through the soundscape, the snapshot of mid-90s moving shadow world, therefore, my input is merely a vessel for the music.

(oldskool hardcore > jungle > drum&bass)

- TwoHungryGhosts.com : 
"It is rare that we hear a mix that encapsulates everything we like about a DJ set but when we heard this one we knew we had to have it as a Guest Module for the blog.

DJINN has managed to capture the pirate radio style of DJ’ing that helped catapult the hardcore/jungle scene so rapidly back in the early nineties and also pinpoints why Reinforced was so pivitol in transforming the music and gave dnb the cutting edge and forward thinking approach we fell in love with.
Reinforced was a leader in modern fusion and production techniques and was one of the most important labels in UK dance music.

This mix illustrates why it was at the forefront of the drum and bass scene and features tracks from some of the genres most well respected names and pioneers."

Discogs - Pleinmont
Been listening to, collecting and mixing jungle, D&B etc since first hearing DJ JINX on PULSE FM playing tracks like Paradise Project, TicTacToe and Order2Move in early 1992. Favourite era got to be 93-97 deep jungle (Metalheadz, Moving Shadow, Good Looking, RAM, Photek, Dillinja, Source Direct, Pete Parsons, Legend and all the Bristol Full Cycle/V music around during that period). 
Mixes are vinyl, two turntables and 2 channel mixer 90% of the time :)
