On Rhythm

Mix 105 is a very special production mix by a Footwork Jungle fave, the UK based producer Lakeway! Making waves in all sorts of ways, Lakeway has a distinctive and versatile sound that encompasses grime, jungle and footwork elements. Making his name via a series of releases for Diffrent Music and sister label SweetBox in the mid-2010s, Lakeway’s hyperactive, hybridised original productions, bootlegs and exclusive cuts quickly struck a chord with some of the scene’s biggest names. Having signed to Med School for a series of EPs before the label’s closure last year, he returned to the Diffrent fold in 2020 with the third instalment of his ‘Misadventures’ trilogy, and ‘Wave Rider.’  Only in his early twenties, Lakeway has already performed at the iconic Fabric nightclub, graced BBC Radio 1 with an exclusive guest mix and received serious support from DJ Mag and Mixmag.

LAKEWAY- ғᴏᴏᴛᴡᴏʀᴋ ᴊᴜɴɢʟᴇ ᴍɪх sᴇʀɪᴇs ᴠᴏʟ105

Who better to launch the new Samurai affiliate Jungle label Mindgames than the Future Retro general and Jungle machine Tim Reaper.

The two tracks on Tim's Mindgames 12" were the seed for the inception of the Mindgames label. Phonetics is unfiltered Amen Euphoria, with Tim's edits deftly embellishing the vocal earworm, while Changing Times wraps an ensemble of classic breaks around a pulsing b line.

------------------------------------------------

Mindgames is a new Samurai Music affiliated label aiming to capture the essence of the sound that magnetised label head Presha into Jungle/Drum and Bass in the mid 90’s. Experiencing this musical development as it happened lit a flame of passion and drive that forged a focused musical path that continues unabated today.

94/95 were pivotal years for Jungle with new approaches to production and musical shades that shaped how the music progressed. Light and Dark musical hues were working side by side more frequently in these years as the music found its way, and Mindgames will reflect this.

With the resurgence of artists absorbing this sound and creating updated versions with added production finesse, Mindgames mission is to enlist current-day producers who have successfully captured and reimagined the vibe and feel of these years into new forms that underline the foundation of our sound.

2. Arcane - Execute

Following the initial response to the split single we have decided to release the remixes on vinyl along with the original tracks.

Sully’s XT opens track one with sparse percussive reverberation before dropping straight into the funk with a bubbling break and a bass-line reminiscent of American b-movies of the ‘70s. XT bustles along with a militant urgency, but never losing the funk flavour.

On track two, Basic Rhythm flips Sully’s XT into a straight ahead 2 step pattern, retaining the energy of the bass line whilst ramping up the militant urgency, all without losing the funk flavour. Combining modern drum production with a 90s jump up vibe.

Basic Rhythm’s Woozy is a suitable companion piece, opening track three with an ominous Hammond organ chord line and a scattering of half heard vocal snippets, before dropping into a militant break with a one note bass-line evocative of 97 era V Records. Dark and moody, but with the dance floor firmly in step.

Sully’s flip of Basic Rhythm’s Woozy on track four strips away the layers. Opening with a spartan percussion and a scattering of vocal snippets, reducing the one note bass-line to an even more laconic drawl, while littering the track with bursts and stabs of strings and effects. This one is for the dark corners of the dance.

Solid Steel in association with Serato (8th April) Baba Stiltz & Samo DJ head up Hour 1 this week , having teamed up earlier this year for the excellent 'A Slice of Heaven' EP alongside Tzusing. The Swedish producers between them have released music on Studio Barnhaus, Born Free, Unknown to the Unknown, L.I.E.S. and The Trilogy Tapes. With a beautiful mix to welcome the summer months they told us;

"We selected some favourites from our archive with spirit of summer in mind. Winter has been too long this year,
well too long every year actually. So we ended up with some classic Brazilian cuts, boombap beats, some 90´s Clock DVA and a few other bits n pieces. If you listen to the mix it will sound like how we play at our local pubs. 
x / Samo & Baba"

Take Me To Your Leader

Solid Steel Radio Show 9/12/2016 Hour 1 - King Geedorah Snake Charmer Mix

In Hour 2 it's the turn of E.M.M.A. following the release of her EP 'LA Mermaid' on the excellent Astral Plane Recordings, which follows previous releases on Wavey Tones and Keysound. She told us;
"I'm referring to this mix as a roots of E.M.M.A. mix. Everything in here has had a some kind of influence on me.  I went to see Mobb Deep when I was 15 and they sound tracked my teenage years. RIP Prodigy.  I guess my latest release on Astral Plane Recordings is a homage to that period of listening to rap too, in terms of the beat patterns. I've included some of my own tracks so you can see where they fit in with my influences. I've also included the work of some of my friends who are a source of inspiration. The Glass Candy/ Knife era was my university years and I have some fond memories of sleeping on my roof  listening to them. That's when I really started thinking I wanted to make tunes. There's a nod to the 1980s in there via heart throb Paul Young, because I will never tire of that drama filled synth work. It's the best. Oh and I ended with trance, cos that's my year 9 school disco era."
