[Re-upload, better sound quality] Soul, jazz, blues n funk flavors with bouncy n steppin' beatz & deep garage grooves. Quite a vocal underground set (mostly dub mixes of vocal tracks). Starts off with two massive 2-step tracks then some soulful 4-floor numbers before getting more dubby n deep as it goes, after 30 mins it's mostly two-step. Find more sets like this in my "Underground Garage" playlist.

[Sept 2020, I remastered this set as I noticed the original upload had one channel much quieter than other, lots of little glitches and the levels weren't great. I went through it and cleaned it up, it sounds much better now.]

Recorded live from my UpFront 99.3 FM radio show November 1998. This was a rare occasion when I was holding down the fort on my own, normally the show was Back-to-Back with DJ Relay every Friday & Saturday night. Big up all UpFront and all pirate massive, Dee, Chico, Pypee, Para, Dexter, Risky, Redz, Southcentral, Sypdy Gee, too many to mention...

Jo Public - Comin' On Strong, UK Garage set Nov 1998 [2020 Remaster]

I was a working DJ/producer 1996-2001 (UK). Lover of electronic music since 1990. I use this site to share some of my mix tapes and the best mixes from other DJs that I've accumulated over the years. This is purely for entertainment, sharing and promoting good music.

I did produce some tracks back in 1998-2000 but only released a couple of EPs with DJ Relay under the names Low Profile & Two-Step2. We are getting back into production again as of 2020 and will be re-releasing some of our old and new tracks going forward, find our tracks on Juno, Beatport, Amazon, etc.
