Big RIP to Lennie De Ice, a wicked producer!
Here's a tribute mix I did to Lennie on BTTO Radio Sunday December 15th, featuring all his hc/jungle releases 92-95. I rerecorded it to get rid of the radio chatter/shouts, and to add five comp tracks at the end I couldn't fit into the original hour.

All tracks played off original vinyl except:

"Poison EP" a1 off a rip of my own vinyl (so I could mix it with another track from the same record). 
"Slavery", "Dance Mashup", "Dance Mashup 2" off some mp3s I bought online 8 years ago.

Dev/Null - Lennie De Ice Tribute Mix (BTTO Radio December 15th 2024)

The festive season is here and I just hit 2 million plays, so it's a double celebration. Now if, like me, you think that nothing says Christmas like a bit of soul-crushingly dark techstep then I'm sure this festive offering won't disappoint. Indeed, this idea is one I've been sat on for a while; my mixing habits have definitely slowed this year but I really wanted to grind a decent one out before 2025. 

The mix rationale then. Caught up somewhere between my 500th listening of Trace & Ed Rush's legendary '97 One In The Jungle set, and the preceding year's Tech Steppin compilation, I found myself asking a simple question. What if the legendary (and it really is fucking legendary) 'No U-Turn Experience' mix had been made a year earlier? Why don't you ponder that for a minute, grab a large Baileys, pop this on and kick back. Merry Christmas.

PS. I couldn't post this up without a big shout to Nico @messingaboutwithsounds. His interview with Bailey earlier in the year gave a fascinating insight into the formation of this scene. What a dude. If you missed it and this is your kinda thing, well, it's essential viewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cdPwJ4d5Jw

Devnull - BTTO Radio July 27th 2025

Welcome to episode 639 of the Everyday Junglist Podcast!

Episode 639 brings us a mix from talented Producer/DJ, BassboxBen!

Normally, I give a rundown of the mixes I feature, but I'm going to let Ben do the talking on this one: 

It's a vinyl mix (other than my tracks), so the temptation was to pull out all the really rare and expensive tracks, but I decided to go completely the opposite direction and find tracks by some of the biggest artists and labels in Jungle that are still surprisingly relatively inexpensive. There's nothing worse than listening to a mix and finding a track you like that is £500 on discogs! So all these tracks are (and I checked) £20 max for a VG+. A great mix for those just getting into Jungle and Old Skool that don't have the deepest pockets. The tracks by me, Colour Him Jungle & Dark Light, will be released on Steppaz Culture in the next month or so. This is one hell of a mix!! Ben smashed this one!!

Let's meet our dj for episode 639, BassboxBen:

Here's a bit of profile info in case you want/need it:
BassboxBen (Formally DJ Ben J), started DJing around 92, attended most of the biggest Hardcore/Jungle/DnB raves & club nights throughout the 90's & 2000's. Played for many parties including Raindance, Breaking Science, Beyond Reality, Promised Land, MC Convention, Hysteria & Launch. Owned a record shop in the early 2000's. Ran a DnB record label with label partner Java around 2010 for a few years. Now known mostly now for an extensive record collection & deep appreciation of early 90's vinyl though my Instagram posts & regular Sunday evening Youtube and Twitch vinyl mix streams. Started producing again a couple of years ago and have a release coming on Steppaz Culture which you can hear in the mix. Played at a few parties more recently including Distant Planet, Soba 93, Oblivion and Rupture.

BassboxBen - Everyday Junglist Podcast - Episode 639

I've done this new mix. 93-95 jungle. Lots of old gems, plus a couple foundational dubs from legendary producers - one a VIP mix of a huge Bukem track, the other an unreleased mix of one of my favourite atmospheric tunes of all time. The producers gave me these dubs to play many moons ago, so it's high time I gave them their respect due on a mix. This is dedicated to Zoe.

Recoil - Sleep Reversal

I've wanted to record a mix like this for years, but for some reason never got to actually doing it until now. It's kind of an ode to Edan's 2001 "Fast Rap"Mixtape, except I wanted to turn up the tempo a notch, so it more or less continues where his left off; around the 115bpm mark.
Britcore, Hip House and Proto Boom Bap featuring tunes by the likes of Caveman, Krispy 3, Tony Scott, Slick Rick, King Bee, Organized Konfusion and many more.

Coco Bryce - Really Fast Rap

Felt like seeing if i could enhance one of my favourite tracks of all time. i think i've achieved it.

Craggz & Parallel Forces - Love Insane (SEIJN BOOT)

Madhatter remastered. Changed it a semitone to G and eq'ed more sections to bring a bit more warmth and fullness. Reg Tono
