Dillinja joins the legends series with two previously unreleased gems from the mid and late 90s. Very different in style, but both unmistakably crafted by one of the genres true bass scientists.

'Selassie I Sound' is from 94/95 and is one of those tracks that jungle detectives have been after for years! Cropping up in many live set recordings from that era - we're really excited to have dusted off the DAT for this one and to be able to present it to you as part of this series. 

'Valve Sound VIP' as a special DJ edit of the huge track taken from Dillinja's 2001 album Cybertron on FFFR. Most likely to have been recorded sometime in 1999 this alternate mix of a classic packs a punch and gives a fresh twist on a well loved anthem. 

As part of the legendary Valve Soundsystem alongside Lemon D, Dillinja is responsible for some of the genres most seminal moments on labels like V, Philly Blunt, Metalheadz and his own Valve imprint. On V alone tracks like 'Unexplored Terrain' 'Chapter 19' & 'Grimey' have secured his place in the D&B hall of fame and mean the status of 'Legend' is richly deserved.

The third part in this vinyl series, with more legends waiting in the wings!

Unofficial Rework

Original track features on No U Turn. NUT-012. 1995.


Ed Rush & Nico - Guncheck (Antidote Rework)

It's time for a new free download. Lots of amen action, fighting samples and east Asian instruments. This one coincides nicely with me being obsessed with Sekiro. I hope you like it.

Drunken Master

The crucial elements in many Jungle tracks are in this E.P.
Atmospherics, breakbeats and basslines that sing to you.

Digital & Response start the E.P. with a 160 bpm, breakbeat, dubbed out 4 to the floor track called, ‘Broken Dub’.

‘Tell Me’ has a little bit of Amen choppage about it and rumbling bass topped with sweet and sensual vocals.

‘Hung Up’ is a drifty, spaced-out smooth number with bass that takes you to a place you’ve never heard before.

Finally, ‘Plastic Dreams’ reminds you of the kind of track you’d play at Fabio’s night, speed to get everyone up dancing.

Kid Lib - The Time Capsule Mixtape
----------------------------------

This mixtape is a showcase of some forthcoming bits, a couple that have been released and a bunch of 
unfinished/lost dubplates & dubplate only tunes. Some of these tunes will sadly never see the chance 
to be finished, but as I love the snippets that do exist I think they deserve to be in the Mixtape, 
as otherwise some of these gems would be lost forever. 
Both Sides of this mixtape have been recorded to cassette and back, to add to the sound and vibe of it.
The vibe is strictly Old Skool Golden Era style Junglistical Bizznizz from recent times :)

Kid Lib - The Time Capsule Mixtape A Side From Tape (Tracklist Is In Description)

Optical is owner of Virus Recordings, Music Producer and DJ from England.
Bookings: UK/ROW: mark@esp-agency.com
USA: saleem@amodeagency.com

This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo
