"When Bleep.com asked me to contribute a mix to their series in honour of the publication of the new edition of my book Join The Future: Bleep Techno and the Brith of British Bass Music, I quickly decided that I wanted to showcase my love of bleep & bass old and new, but also throw in sub-heavy cuts made at different points since the ‘90s – after all, one of the key arguments in the book is that bleep had a profound impact on the future direction of British dance music. The new afterword chapter, written last autumn, also references the recent wave of revivalist bleep productions, so I wanted to give a flavour of those too.

So, there are important innovators (Unique 3, Nightmares on Wax, LFO, and Sweet Exorcist), overlooked or under-celebrated acts (Rhythmatic, Tomas), a nod to the short-lived NYC bleep and breakbeat hardcore scene (How & Little), a couple of sub-heavy 1990 workouts from London (Moody Boys, the Leftfield produced ‘Difference’ by Djum Djum), a dash of bleep & breaks (Bass Culture, an early Rennie Pilgrem project), recent revivalist bleep cuts (DAWL, iNFO, Dan Piu, Tom Carruthers), some mid-90s Brummie dub house (Rockers HiFi), sub-heavy 21st century workouts (SuPaFiX, Toddla T remixing Working Men’s Club, Bakey), tons of my own re-edits (over the years I’ve amassed a sizable library of ‘Join The Future edits’ as I call them) and even a completely unreleased (though re-edited) Tuff Little Unit track, ‘Blow Up The System’. Oh, and the crazy dancefloor dub that is Alfanso’s Rob Gordon-produced ‘Dub Feels Nice (Version 4)’, which is exclusively available on the Join The Future:UK Bleep & Bass 88-91 compilation on JD Twitch’s Cease & Desist label (which is, of course, available via bleep.com).

In order to accommodate both original records and digital tracks (particularly the edits), it was mixed on two turntables connected to a DVS box." - Matt Anniss

Bleep Mix #257 - Matt Anniss

We're none too fond of terms like 'selector' here at the figurative 12th Isle HQ. We think it was a shrewd marketing ploy concocted by natural wine bar owners - and possibly the freemasons - who repackaged the spergy single-mindedness of record nerds into something that sounded much more socially agile and cool in order to distract punters from the exorbitant price of nibbles. Thankfully, the time of white label soundtracked £40 sashimi seems to be behind us, and DJing can go back to being obsessives playing odd music made by even odder folk without much in the way of pretence. Someone who encapsulates that kind of energy has very kindly put together a nearly 4 hour long sprawl and has stated that under no circumstances should this mix be enjoyed alongside thinly sliced bits of raw beef and wine with bits in it or there will be hell to pay. Floor Length Skirts for Forecast 79, it's good gear like.
