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.

This latest 1 More Mix is brought to you by the cutting-edge sounds of Crypticz. 

Hailing from punk and a Prodigy-loving family, his interest in electronic music has taken him on a sonically varying journey which shows no sign of letting up any time soon. 

We recently spoke to Crypticz, who established himself at Diffrent Music, a label that’s been at the forefront of pioneering electronic sound since 2010. 

These progressive sounds are showcased in their latest album Revolution Of The Giraffe, which features tracks by label veterans like Arkaik, Lakeway and Crypticz himself. 

A lover of vinyl records and a wide range in music taste, Jordan Parsons’ Crypticz project has been in a state of flux lately. Having not played to a live crowd for a year now, the Bristol-based artist believes a self-indulgent approach to his music has seen a decline in club bookings but his recent return to the recently resurrected SWU radio station means he’s back on the airwaves regularly shelling out leftfield bangers. Bangers like THESE.

Pepsi Slammer hits Sweet Box with two cut-throat hardcore belters. Fresh from his gnarly remix of Gaunt’s ‘Firefloor’ for sister label Diffrent Music, the Londoner ups the ante with ‘Jazzies’, a grime-meets-breakbeat sheller packed with dramatic strings, sirens, pirate radio vox and the gulliest of low-ends. Pure slewidge!

With releases on labels including Critical, Deadbeats and Noisia’s VISION, to name but a few, @gyrofieldmusic has fast become one of drum & bass’ most sought-after artists, though her sound stretches in numerous directions. Her detailed, gnarly yet emotionally vivid productions are a breath of fresh air in the scene, and continue to evolve sonically alongside their own personal growth.

Based in Manchester, Pod Imiya plays a mix of jungle and drum n bass styles from all eras, dropping in hardcore, IDM and sped-up electro. Pod Imiya’s sets are usually centred around rough breaks with dark but uplifting selection.Starting out as a regular DJ at Hit & Run, she quickly went on to play at nights across the UK such as Rupture, License to Jungle and Chicken Shop. Since learning to produce, Pod Imiya's tracks have been centered around intricate breaks, ominous bass sounds and ethereal leads, inspired by the production of Spirit, Quartz and Necrotype. Her track 'Dawn' was included on the Repertoire Streetlight Vol 2 featured by UKF and played by Mantra on the Rupture Rinse FM show.

Next-gen junglists No Nation and Sheba Q join the Diffrent Music roster, bringing with them the rebirth of the GiraffeStep series.

An incubator for up-and-coming talent that saw early releases from the likes of Fixate, Lakeway, Conduct and Crypticz, the last GiraffeStep release came in early 2018 with Itti’s ‘Ritual’ EP. Confined to the pages of history since then, a new wave of talent has inspired label boss Dexta and breathed new life into the series. Returning with a new look for 2021, GiraffeStep kicks off with a brace of tracks from two of London’s most exciting rising talents.

No Nation started out spinning soul, RnB and hip-hop at nights across the UK capital, including Vibe London where he held down a residency. Though he’s since moved into more high-energy territory via his Subtle Radio show and Mutuality event, which stormed The Cause in 2020, these sounds still inform his sets and productions.
Sheba Q built her name via her Jam In The Attic events in Brixton. A member of the House Of Hi-FI crew, who are focused on closing the gender imbalance and supporting womxn in d&b, she also hosts a show on Subtle and in 2020 delivered fiery guest mixes for the likes of DJ Mag and Goat Shed.

The pair met a decade ago, while studying engineering at Queen Mary University in London; initially connecting over a mutual love of soul and hip-hop, it’s in jungle that they’ve now found a shared rhythm. At the end of 2019 they decided to focus their efforts on production, and grabbed the attention of many with the searing ‘Too Late’ in summer 2020, which took aim at those involved in the cultural whitewashing of jungle music and delivered a lesson in furious breakbeat science in the process. (A version of this track has been signed to Diffrent’s forthcoming ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ LP.)


For their Diffrent debut, the pair deliver two cerebral but propellant cuts. ‘Seasonal Grief’ is swathed in cosmic pads and driven by the infectious groove of funky conga rolls. It isn’t until near-halfway through that a glistening sax drifts through the mix, delivering an empyrean moment, before fading once more, consumed by a voracious beat and melancholy keys.

‘Mother of Mars’ is similarly unpredictable. A familiar harmonica intro is met by the thump and clatter of rolling drums, that all of a sudden give way to an unearthly vocal and ominous bassline, as if summoning the ghosts of the titular, long dead planet. As the track moves forward, the break becomes increasingly fragmented, flinging out chunky kicks and the razor-sharp shrapnel of detonated snares.

GiraffeStep couldn’t ask for a better start to its new life, and the release is an early marker of a year No Nation and Sheba Q are ready to take by storm. Available digitally and as a limited edition 10” vinyl, ‘Seasonal Grief’ / ‘Mother of Mars’ will be available to pre-order on 5th February ahead of full release on 26th February.
