DnB inspired underground garage set, soulful two-step with some break beat tracks thrown in to spice it up (1996-2002). b4 there was dubstep there were the underground sounds coming out of the streets of London (and the rest of the UK, to be fair).

I thought I'd put together a mix that reminded me of the early morning sets I used to play in the London clubs and on Upfront 99.3 fm (big up all the krew). I've not heard anyone playing these types of tracks so I thought I'd upload the mix. Forgive the first transition as that first track is seriously off beat and it's almost impossible to blend anything into it. From there on it's pretty tight. 

Setting the scene: it's 3 or 4 am and people are starting to get tired and are thinking of going home. Then you drop that 1st track and it just blows the place up, follow up with some deeper tracks, grinding sub-bass grooves and soulful vocals and it's all over. About 1/3 rd through and it's time to start picking up the pace with some heavier beats and driving basslines - hold tight it gets a bit dark n dirty towards the end - it's like a virus...

As always, maximum respect to the artists, producers n engineers that made these tracks - outstanding production.

Summer Lovin' (onenight) Full 80m underground garage mix

Studio mix, 80 min, 1210's, vinyl, no MC (~110 bpm). Soulful and reggae vocals, bumpin n steppin beats, uplifting vibes, jumping b-lines getting harder n deeper towards the end (1996-2003). Some of the best UK garage tracks ever made, all in an underground style.

PREMIERE: Raw Takes - Gate313 (Sample Delivery)

[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]

Deeper with another exclusive mix. Bringing together underground garage from the late 90's with brand new dub cuts from TS2. We had to push back the boundaries of technology to bring you a back2back session that spans time zones, oceans and continents with DJ Relay representing the UK and JoPublic holding it down Stateside.

We put this mix together to promote our new album "The Nine", and our 1st vinyl release since 2000 (forthcoming on Curbside Recordings). Twenty years in the making, some things are worth waiting for.

The mix is dedicated to Tony D, a very close friend in life and music. Taken too young with no time to choose it. Living on with TwoStep2, we won't forget you Tony. 

As always, maximum respect to all the producers, engineers and artists involved in making these tracks, pure class. Talking of class, big thanks to model Linda P and photographer Jippo for the exclusive cover art.

UK Garage Mix-02 Jan 2021 TwoStep2 (DJ Relay & JoPublic)

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.
