Coming through with an almighty switch up from our usual UKG bits this week is the people’s favourite and master of all styles @etches828 📝 💜

Etch has provided an early 2000’s vinyl drum & bass mix that is so fuckin nostalgic, it took us on an emotional journey through young adolescent memories. Much like Etch, we all grew up on dnb and will always adore these sounds. The SOLITUDE crew are all junglists at heart yanno. This era of dnb up until about 2012 was the limewire sourced, background music to nuff gaming sessions with some sorta energy drink in hand… If that sounds familiar this one is for you. If not, check it anyway cos this selection and this calibre of artists is proper historical. 

Etch provided us with an insight to this one: “This mix is essentially my soundtrack to playing counter-strike online in 2004 with my mates, which may seem alarming because the tracks are fucking dirty slammers, but this along with 
everything that matched it’s intensity is what we banged. 

By the time we got fake ID’s and were out raving things got a bit more slick & romantic, but I always have hours of time for bash yer head in DnB and some borderline Breakcore like this.

I think with the UK music scene’s fetishization of everything that makes it feel like it has its own identity – it needs to look left and right and realise this was here the whole time. (Apologies to any clicks n pops from knackered/poorly looked after records, also I shall not take the whole blame, this era of DnB had some TERRIBLE presses, like wtf, shit is like a circle of paper)”

You can catch Etch at a bunch of shows this year (probably not music like this, but he’ll try slip a lil’ bit in if poss) 

Some highlights include: Drumskull Presents (@drumskull_must_die) at @theglovethatfits in South Ldn on 6th May

He’ll also be thwacking the stage with heroes & legends @2_bad_mice at @gottwood festival in June 

And lastly for the 🇦🇺 gang, he should be heading back to Australia at the 
end of this year. Which in his words “will be glorious because I played some of my funnest shows of the decade in that dusty ol’ love island”

0860.fm INTERVIEW #2 - DJ FLIGHT

Today on 0860.fm we have Dextrous. A proper goosebumps one for me this - his Jungle tracks in the early 90s were always some of my faves. Including Kings Of The Jungle, Selector Roll and Time To Move. 

We talk about how Pirate Radio gave him insight and exposure to Rare Groove, a genre that he took influence from to create his Jungle tracks that would then go on to get rinsed on Pirate Radio and influence younger generations such as myself. We discuss his relationship with communities from Kool FM, to Music House, through to his work on the documusical ‘Feltham Sings’ in 2003 for which he won the prestigious Ivor Novello award.
