wow, was this released on Hooj Choons in the 90s?? I know I have this melody on vinyl somewhere...

General Midi, or Paul Crossman, who also performed under the name Fluid, came out of the Bristol club scene, making a splash when he became resident DJ at the Shimmy Club in 1994. His mix of breakbeat with nu-skool, electronica, house, and hip-hop made him a popular act.

Emerging from the backrooms of the Bristol Club scene his slick DJ ability and an ear for a great tune gave him regular appearances at breaks hotspots across the planet such as Fabric, Chew The Fat, Blow Pop, Sounds On Sundays (Sydney), Two Tribes (Australia), Zouk (Singapore), Budapest, all across the USA, Hungary, Spain, Serbia, China and Hong Kong. Teaming up with production partner Eelz, General Midi has been responsible for some of the most genre defining tunes in ‘The Westoner’ (’99) ‘Daft Funk’ (’01) ‘Further’ (’03) & ‘You will Be Under’ (’03), ‘Entertainer’ (’04), ‘Bass Rockerz’ (’04) & ‘House of Funk’ (’05).

General Midi’s singles have been released on some of the most respected breaks labels of the time, including TCR (Rennie Pilgrems label) & Kilowatt (Hyper’s label). In 1999 he released his single “The Westerner,” followed two years later by “Daft Funk,” the same year that his first full-length release, Genetically Modified. All of this has led to his debut artist album ‘Midi Style’ which was released on Distinct’ive Records in 2005. In 2009 he released his follow up album ‘Operation Overdrive’.

Paul Crossman also worked with writing partner and audio engineer Al Watson in the duo act called “Starecase”.

Currently Paul Crossman works as as a Teacher of Computing at Lampton School, London UK.

Hello and welcome to The Stress Factor Drum & Bass Podcast episode 309, The DJ B-12 Christmas Special for December of 2023. We hope you are all doing well and ready for the holidays. We are so happy that you can join us for this momentous occasion. Not only is this our Christmas show, it's also our New Years show, and believe it or not, we are also celebrating 14 years online on January 1, 2024! It feels like just yesterday that we made the transition from a radio station to this new format called podcasts. We would like to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of our hearts for your listenership, love and support for all of these years. A lot of you have become personal friends and family to us. Massive shoutout and Christmas love to my SFP Crew: Ste-J, Scottie B, Tribo, and DJ R1 and special shout to my best friend, DJ Oneduz, who started Stress Factor Productions with me back in 1997 in a bedroom on Long Island, New York and who I also learned to DJ with, and went record shopping with weekly back in the day.  

This drum & Bass mix is 107 minutes long and contains 60 tracks. This set features the best and most exciting new dnb available, featuring that good electro dnb that we all know and love, as well as the soulful and emotional vocal tracks that give you goosebumps and send shivers down your spine. It's also full of lush synths and pads with bits of roughness, rollers, and of course the signature bangers and dancefloor smashers. The set also features chill uplifting atmospheric and intelligent dnb with a touch of jungle beats and vibes. It's a journey from start to finish for your body, heart, soul and mind. It expertly showcases what this podcast is all about and the amazing cumulation of 14 years as a staple in the DNB podcast community. Truly showing what sets us apart from the rest. Sit back relax and get ready to experience something truly special from the one like DJ B-12, who intelligently weaves something so special and beautiful with such joyful emotional that you will need to listen to it again and again and share with everyone you know! 

We'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, an amazing New Year 2024, and ask you to help us celebrate 14 years going strong! We'd also like to thank all of the artists and labels for the amazing tracks we've showcased throughout the years. Here's to another 14 or 16 years even (why not go for 30!) We love you, we thank you and we ask God's Blessing upon you all! Big ups and Respect!

DJ Justin Johnson vs Gruv42 - A Progressive Breaks & House Mixtape

Im pleased to give you Episode 18 of the Lowering The Tone podcast. 

This time round I had the pleasure to sit down with Ant Wilson Aka 'Chicago Loop' and have an in-depth chat about starting your career again from scratch, life after the London Acid Techno scene and naming himself after a ring road in America.

As I have mentioned before these are not so much of an interview more of just a laid back conversation that veers off in all directions, thats is the charm though IMO, listening back to this one I think it will appeal to DJ’s who wish (and do) travel because Ant is a well seasoned DJ who has some great stories of his on the road experiences around the globe, I found his story petty inspiring I hope you do to.

As you should expect by now I explore many genres mix wise but keeping it Techy based. As promised in the show I will bring back the ‘Deeper Selection’ next episode.

So if you enjoy the show could I please ask you to share the link, Re-tweet, Re-post, Like, Comment, Rate & Review  … (you get the idea :-) 

I hope you like it, talk soon
