Two hour show on Cyndicut Radio on 19th  Feb 2026, digging deep into the early tracks from the acid house and warehouse rave scene of the late 80's and early 90's

DJ Junk - Cyndicut Radio Show 4  - Acid House and Techno  1989-91 - 19/2/2026

One of my favorite eras for drum n' bass was the early jump-up sound in the mid-90's. Rugged breaks, wobbly basslines, rugged hip-hop samples - this was a truly banging style of rave music that still sounds incredible today. In this mix, originally recorded for the mighty @peoples-station, I drop an hours worth of rough jump-up tunes from 1995 to 1997. All killer, no filler!

Rob Gray - Distortion Cru 1993 Studio Set

Shades Of Rhythm we're formed by Kevin Lancaster, Nick Slater & Rayan Hepburn and began to produce their own material to play in their home town of Peterborough. Multiple tracks from the album took hold of the emerging rave scene.
They were thrown into a rave whirlwind and played alongside groundbreaking artists The Prodigy, N-joi and K-Klass at raves and clubs such as Raindance, Fantazia, The Astoria and The Haçienda. They still play at oldskool events all over country.
For this mix, i have taken as many tracks as I could from singles & albums between 1987 & 1994.

Produces music and D.J. under the alias of 'D.J. Junk'.

DJ and Producer based in the UK. Dj-ing since 1988 and producing since 1992. Started producing rave / jungle 12"'s in 1992 and released a series of white labels called 'Junk 001', 002, 003 and so on up to volume 12.

In the early 90's produced a series of tapes called 'Breakbeat Mix' , these were mixes of hip hop breakbeats and other samples , produced on a sampler rather than turntables they were like very long tracks rather than dj mixes.

In 1996 the best parts of the 'Breakbeat Mixes' were compiled on a vinyl album called ‘Breaker Breaks Volume One’. This album also had sections of film samples and hip hop noises for scratch DJ’s.

The label this was released on was known as ‘Second To None’ which was the B-Boy crew of which DJ Junk was a member and so used that name for the new label. The ‘Breaker Breaks’ albums were followed with other volumes to reach volume 6.

The ‘Second To None’ label which was ran by DJ Junk also had other releases – ‘B-Boy Anthems Vol 1-6’ , ‘Weapons Of Mass Deckstruction Vol 1-4’, ‘Prone Breaks’, ‘Ultimate B-Boy Funk’ , ‘Trouble With Funk’ plus several other LP’s and 12”’s.
