Danny McMillan is a true original in the very early Nu Skool Breaks scene, one half of the duo Uptown Connection and label boss of the now defunct Inflight Entertainment. Danny McMillan’s resume is also stacked with everything any dance music artist could ever wish for: remixing tracks from New Order to DJ Krush, kick-starting labels like Rennie Pilgrem’s big-time TCR, collaborations with Arthur Baker, radio shows on UK’s Kiss FM, residencies at London’s Ministry of Sound to compilations hailed as one of the best by Mixmag and Muzik.

This mix was aired in 1999 on the Kiss 100FM Breakbeat Show hosted by Adam Freeland.

Leggy Reggae with General Legsta - 10.02.2022

Solid Steel (17th January) This week it's the turn of Kid Koala to showcase his turntable skills. At the other end of the spectrum to DJ Kentaro last week, Kid Koala has a unique style and we get to hear it with this set recorded 'Live in Victoria on Three Rental Turntables'. You'll recognise some of his classic routines alongside tracks from his albums on Ninja Tune. He has been recently touring the world with Deltron 3030 and ever since his incredible set at the legendary Stealth night in the 90's, every show is well worth watching.

Solid Steel (20th June) Fanu is our guest in Hour 1, an electronic music artist and DJ from Finland, who has been releasing music for many years, plus remix duties that include Bill Laswell and our own Amon Tobin. In his own words:
"In addition to making/pushing/DJing broken beat music and running my label, Lightless, I've been working on loads of hip hop in the past 1.5 years, some of which will start to surface soon on Redefinition Records under my FatGyver alias. Hence, instead of going all electronic with the mix like I most often do, this time I wanted to go for the theme, "hip hop to D&B and back". Hip hop and drum and bass used to have a lot in common, after all, and their aesthetics can be very similar."

Solid Steel (23rd January)DJ Food returns to the Magpie Music theme he started last year with a second mix collecting a host of his favourite tracks from 2014 in an extended mix. Heavy beats, fuzz bass, rockist guitars and analogue synths are the rich pickings that the Magpie furnishes its nest with as well as a healthy dose of underground Hip Hop. Food favourites Jane Weaver, Temples and Ghost of a Sabre Tooth Tiger get several selections as well as Gas Giant (friend of Solid Steel, Bristol's Awkward under an alias). There's even a psychedelic Four Seasons track in there...

Some love for your ears. Took a different direction with this mix showcasing some of the new house tunes I've been digging lately. Fear not, I'm still in the game for broken beats but we need some serious reinvention before I can post a mix on that tip.

Part 2 of the mixes celebrating the 20th anniversary of the album 'Kaleidoscope', featuring outtakes, alternate versions and unreleased tracks.

Part 3 can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/pcknobblyknee/kaleidoscopic-companion-pt3

Part 2. Track notes: 
These recordings are taken from cassettes, DAT tapes & CDRs so the quality and fidelity varies, there’s tape hiss, the odd drop out and distortion but that’s the way they came out. PC remastered a few bits and pieces and some tracks are edits / re-edits. Lots of these versions aren’t fully mixed down or mastered in anyway either but I like that rawness. 

The late, great John Peel evidently liked the album, playing several tracks over the weeks preceding the album's release, even asking us in for a session (see the debut Mixcloud Select upload) I’ve included a few of his comments from broadcasts only recently found online.

:: GOING DEEPER ::

 Born in Santa Monica California and later moving north to Santa Cruz, Dave discovered 12 inch vinyl remixes in the early 80's and cultivated a deep wax collection with elements of Funk, Disco, Reggae, New Wave and Rock. He cut his teeth alongside ESDJCO founder Sam Staton aka Dj Samo (R.I.P.) creating Planet Groove Productions in 1989 that launched them into throwing parties, learning how to plug in a sound system and DJ a crowd. Early influences include Saturday Night Fever, Wild Style, Skate/Punk culture, The Dr. Dimento Show, Dj Bubba G. Scotch (R.I.P.), Dj Kazzeo’s Record Pool, Dj Jason D at KZSC, and The World Famous Wake Up Show with Sway, King Tech and Dj Revolution. 

 Inspired by Wicked Soundsystem, Spundae, Come-Unity and Stompy Stomp, Dave founded Hitman Produktionz in 1996 and made his name playing House and Breaks, producing PITCH CONTROL and HOUSE FOR RENT at the Blue Lagoon Club in Santa Cruz for nearly five years. Featured guest artists included Jonene (Stompy), Simon (Come-Unity), Rick Preston (Viva Records), Dano (Red Melon), Ruben Mancias (The EndUP) and Harry Who? (Solid Grooves). He’s held monthly, weekly and quarterly residencies in San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Cruz and played co-host, co-producer and DJ for noted parties DeLuxe, Technology, Jet Set and Le Freak at Space 550 Barneveld in San Francisco.

 Between residencies, radio/internet guest spots, private parties and guest slots near and far, Dave maintained a busy DJ schedule playing out several times per week well into the millennium. From fashion industry trade shows MAGIC and POOL in Las Vegas, Action Sports Retailers (ASR) in San Diego, to undergrounds in Portland, Sea of Dreams at the San Francisco Concourse and Burning Man 2010. Summer 2012 brought a DJ pilgrimage to Ibiza, Spain to study with studio masters Henry Sarmiento and Paul Nolan at the world renowned Sonic Vista Studios. He spun five gigs in eight days including Club Aura, Ibiza Global Radio and a private wedding anniversary party for Andy Taylor of Duran Duran. 

From late 2012 to the Fall of 2018 Dave was located in Humboldt playing underground invitational camp-outs and festivals honing his sound until migrating back to the Bay Area. During the pandemic lock-down he turned to Twitch for an occasional appearance including a closing set for LDP's 3 Day Non-Stop NYE 20-21 celebration. Following the gradual re-opening of society, Dave’s DJ schedule has gained momentum playing out with more frequency and demand through 2022 with appearances at The Great Northern, UNSCRUZ Festival, Mars Bar, The Brookdale Lodge and Moe's Alley to name a few.

The Saga Continues…


:: UNSOLICITED::

"DFUNKT is so talented...he can entertain anyone and everyone anytime. He's the Michael Phelps on turntables. A truly under rated artist. An opportunity to see him perform is worth ten times the price of admission. Truly one of the SF Bay Area Best."

- RAMSEY TERAZI (2008)
(Manager at Club ECCO San Jose, House for the Homeless Founder)

"I thought I was an earnest DJ , until I met Dfunkt. His ability to cross genres and tell stories while keeping the groove is unmatched. My favorite Dfunkt moment is having a conversation with him at Wish while he spun. he was cracking me up, telling me stories about the old days of DJing in the Bay Area. I'd say the conversation lasted about a half an hour during which he spun a perfect set with out even blinking or saying "hang on a sec".

For an ass-shakin, hip-hoppin groove droppin time, call 1-900-4-DFUNKT ($4.95 per minute, if under 18 must have parents permission to call)."

- TAL M KLEIN (2004)
(DJ/Producer/Author)

"Caught your set on Basscamp Live and I have to say that was tidy! I loved the fantastic balance of funk, breaks, bass....with a ton of nasty samples which had me reeling the dome, trying to figure the origin of many. Super smooth. Thanks!"

- OHHSOSCARRY (2011)
