Rolling out the week for the final mx in the drop with a soothing selection for the Sunday comedown is Pearsall

Originally from New York City, Pearsall moved to  London in the 90's, which is where he became obsessed with drum n bass, getting his first set of decks at the tender age of 17 in 1997. Over the years he's built up a massive record collection across many genres but jungle/drum n bass will always be his first love when it comes to electronic music. These days Pearsall lives in Berlin, every now and then he djing out in the city but mostly spends his time make a lot of mixes for the Internet, both for my Sonicrampage blog and Soundcloud account. A firm favourite dj in the Certain Sounds camp we had to get him along for the drop! Sit back and explore the journey trough the sounds of atmospheric Jungle!

Pearsall - Atmospheric Jungle Selection | 7 Days of Summer Mix Drop

Welcome to episode 513 of the Everyday Junglist Podcast!

Thank you Moakz for your mix on episode 512!

Episode 512 brings us a mix from a super talented producer/dj, 12bit Jungle Out There!

12bit Jungle's mix is the perfect blend of classic jungle tunes, exclusives, and newer tracks! Healthy dose of PPJ Recordings tunes on here! Awesome track selection for this mix, out to 12bit Jungle Out There!

Let's meet our dj for episode 513, 12bit Jungle Out There:

1. Tell us about upcoming releases you have.
The awesome crew at PPJ Recordings (shouts to Aaron & Drew) have another one of mine ready to go. Love working with them plus Aaron does an awesome mix job. I also recently finished 6 93/94 hardware vibes and have been chatting with Parallax Records about an EP.

 2. If you had to pick 1 tune, what do you think is the best tune you’ve produced?  
Wow, that’s a hard one, I’m never really happy to be honest and am always learning and focused on improving. I could pick holes in everything. It also depends on what mood you’re in but I’d say from the last batch with PPJ Recordings ‘Love So Good (Drop the bass)’ hits the spot although during making that lot the one I was buzzing off most was ‘Got To Move Around’ from the Disrupt Records and PPJ collab. I’ve not really answered the question here have I…. I think the best is still to come but am super proud of it all.

 3. What’s the most outrageous lie you’ve ever told?
 Well, I’m not sure if it’s the most outrageous but when I was in high school me and some mates bunked off school with some girls from another school. We sold them some graph paper we had cut into small squares and drawn black dots in the middle and told them they were micro dots! They spent the whole day pretending they were off their chops.

R-Hawk Label Showcase #1

As I’ve gone along collecting records, whenever a new Jungle D&B label has started up I’ve often found that I enjoy the first 3 releases as a standard.  Not sure if labels curate their releases this way to make sure they kick the label off with quality, or if it is a coincidence, or if I just subconsciously will myself to enjoy it that way!  Anyway, I’ve been wanting to catalogue some of this aspect of my collection on social media somehow, but I didn’t know quite where to start, as I didn’t necessarily want to do it in a chronological or alphabetical order.   The other day I was reminded of a particular label when I was playing Trainspottle and that has determined where I am going to start.  (I will elaborate on that in a footnote to this post, as it is a bit of a tangent, but worthy of inclusion!)

So the first label release trio is on Piranha Records, a label belonging to Jonny L that he began in 1999.  Jonny L is one of my favourite producers, from very early on (1992 to be precise) but from the mid to late 90s, his output always struck a chord for me as it felt that he stood out from the crowd.  So I always got excited when I saw new material from him.  After his last 2 albums on XL Recordings, Sawtooth in 1997 and Magnetic in 1998 - both of which got critical acclaim and didn’t leave my record bag for months, it was hard to guess in which direction he would go next.  But when Piranha appeared, with The Bells and Raise I wasn’t disappointed.

I’m not great at describing music, unlike some of my peers who do an excellent job of music journalism, but I’ll do my best!  I think that he manages to stamp his own sound on anything he does, even when his sound takes a different direction and these tunes definitely felt different to Sawtooth and Magnetic. With the first 3 releases on Piranha, there is an other worldly feel to them, quite minimal in some respects, lots of strange chord structures, subtle electronic melodies, vocals and fx and moody atmospherics, but always with a hard edge to them; the breaks are hard stepping, nearly 2 step, but with a bit more swing.  These tunes are designed for the dance floor.  When I bought them, I would combine them with stuff on 31, Virus, V, Dread, Ram, Dropping Science, Higher Education, Metalheadz - the kind of Drum & Bass that was prevalent at the time; but even amongst all of those label titans they felt like they stood out from the crowd and still do.

I’ve done a little mini-mix of these 3 records, 6 tunes in total so that you can hear them in all their glory.  T/L Raise / Running / Change / The Bells / Selecta / Spike

So, as I said earlier, the tangential genesis of this label choice was Trainspottle. For those of you who are not familiar, it is like Heardle, but for Jungle D&B - every day there is a new tune to guess.  And pretty much, in my experience, you either guess it after 1 second, or not at all.  Frustratingly, the site seems to have glitched in recent times and it plays the same songs over and over again.  It has become a running joke in my family that at least once a week, the tune will be Billion Dollar Gravy by London Elektricity (incidentally I only know this tune from this stupid game…).  The other annoying glitch is that it will only let you select the tune from a list, that appears as you gradually type in the artist or track name; but quite often the tune that is playing is not one that appears so you cannot choose it and therefore you lose!  On this one occasion, after the first drum hit, I said “It’s Jonny L - Selecta” but the list only offered Piper, or Hurt You So.  Very frustrating, when you have to skip through to be told it is exactly what you have said it is from the first go.  So you don’t get the little computer generated message telling you how great you are for guessing after one second. It is like being cheated out of dopamine.  Anyway, that’s what made me think of choosing Piranha.

Dj Die Presents Gutterfunk - 10 January 24

Found one of my last old mixes I did in 2006 before a little hiatus from the decks for the next decade with life and tings.. This would of been post airbourne, which i retired in early 2005 after 3 full on years of promoting, playing, designing on top of my full time job.

I was still in love with the music post retirement of airbourne in 2005 and really it wasn't a retirement as such, but a break.. as a true DJ in love with the craft and the music never really retire!

All recorded from vinyl back in 2006, with some little pushes audible, recorded in one take as per usual with vinyl back then recorded on my vestax pmc pro 05 (1999) a basic soundcard setup, bookshelf speaker hand me down from my dad and on crappy stanton cartridges... crap equipment, but did its job.. haha.. it is all about the vibes.. always! :D

I will figure out the remainder (???) in time.. 

Ennio Morricone - Dal Mare (Kabuki Remix) 
London Electricity - Fast Soul Music
Calibre - Peso

Marky & XRS - Distant Lover
Calibre - The Other Side

Atmospheric Jungle DnB Mix 9 (Spring Equinox) 162 BPM

Dj Munk, has been DJing since 1999 and a lover of music in of all styles. He is the founder of ABSF (Airbourne Sonic Fiction) Crew, back in early 2002 in Sydney was pushing the sounds of drum & bass of all forms to the Sydney masses. Originally focusing on atmospheric drum & bass, '97 jazzy styles in their Airbourne Sunday Sessions, Airbourne also ran their monthly drum & bass nights Momentum, their infamous Old Skool Jungle parties played host to Calibre & Shapeshifter (NZ) 1st parties ever in Sydney town in 2004… fast forward to now and though retired from promoting, he has not lost his passion for the music.

Though primarily known as a drum & bass / Old Skool Jungle Dj his other musical passions is downtempo / jazz, broken beat and also bass music.. influences ranging from Sam Cooke, John Coltrane, Cinematic Orchestra, Bonobo, Gilles Peterson, LTJ Bukem, Synkro & Calibre.

Whether he is playing a downtempo, old skool jungle or a bass music set it’s all about creating a musical journey with ebbs and flows creating an emotional response to the musical experience. When it comes to rocking the clubs plays the music as if he was on the dancefloor and not all just in his head… dance with the heart and not just the feet.
