Formation Records Special 1

The Lost Tapes - A Dr S Gachet Tribute 2016 

Whenever i used to buy a tape pack back around 1995-96 i always used to listen to the Dr S Gachet sets first, usually he played tunes that no one else had, or would ever have, Audio Maze dubs, coupled with a wicked tune selection, rolling basslines, crashing amens and some of the best atmospheric breakdowns of tunes id ever heard at the time, often set the standard at many raves back in 95, 96 & 97, the epic Helter Skelter sets were always a stand out for me & my friends every time, his tapes were the first to be played and the first to go missing, never to be seen ever again!

This mix is born out of those epic sets, and a couple of One In The Jungle mixes, it incorporates some of the mixes & all of the tunes that inspired me to love D&B / Jungle to this day.......the best of these sets & nights of course hosted by unmistakable sound of MC GQ. 

These tunes in particular have been with me for the past 20 years, in my head and never getting old, this was a hell of a lot of hard work, Research, luck, a rinsed bank account and an addiction for Discogs, luckily with the power of the web and with help from sites such as Roll Da Beats i was able to identify every single tune,  over the last 8 years i have managed to get them all and put this mix together, it wont be to everybody's taste i'm sure, but for the sound quality of the tapes now and the ripped mp3's i wanted something a bit more than that, a better reminder of the tunes and how it was.

The mix has really been done for myself and my own listening pleasure, maybe someone out there will have the same love for those nights and the tunes within, if so, im sure this will tweek a few memories, and for me its like a sign off from the last 20 years of clubbing - Hope you enjoy whoever listens!

Special thanks to JJ @ Roll Da Beats & Tim Reaper for one of the tunes in particular which the mix would lost without - Universal Love - Silence ( Spanish Mix )

DJing 92-Present

Australian Born 1971. Dutch Mother / English Father (which has influenced my music between UK breakbeat and Euro hardcore)

Rikochet began his DJing career at age 20 in the fresh and very underground 1991 Rave era. At the time, he was in the Australian Navy, which is how his earlier Dj pseudenyom Popeye was created. Popeye’s first set launched at the legendary O’Mallys Hotel, Sunday recovery parties in Brougham St, Kings Cross. Playing all styles of dance music from House, Trance, Rave, Hardcore, Breakbeat and Jungle. He became part of Sydney’s Rave and Breakbeat culture. DJing at various venues all around Sydney’s Clubs, Pubs, and Warehouses, he become well known for his piano breakbeat and driving bass line-style morning sets. With the release of the very popular, Junglistic Rowdiness and N4CER tape series, Popeye’s sound was in demand.
During his 3-year Rave career, Popeye played alongside Carl Cox, Slipmatt and a range of great Australian DJ’s. As a DJ competition panel judge, he also played numerous radio shows and was a columnist on the topic of Breakbeat and Jungle in the Rave journal, Juicy Red Apple & D&B in the UK "Knowledge" magazine.
As a JMA founding member, Popeye was instrumental in championing the new cutting edge sound of Jungle / Drum n Bass to Sydney through his various (and highly collectible) mix tapes. After the release of the JMA tapes (Vol 1. Jungle Massive Australia) in 1995, and a booking at Sydney’s Big Day Out festival (1997), Popeye changed names to Rikochet, and became the first Australian DJ to play Triple JJJ’s Mixup national program 3 times. 
Since then, Rikochet has played alongside some of the most influential DJ’s and producers of the D&B community, such as Moving Shadow’s Rob Playford, Grooverider, Ratty, DJ SS, Kenny Ken, Dr S. Gachet, Chemistry & Storm, and DJ Rap with MC Fearless to name a few.
After moving to Santa Barbara in 2015, Rikochet has joined forces with the L.A. 13 Crowz crew and more recently with the SB Junglecats
30 years on, Rikochet now lives in California where he spends his free time balancing between a passion for Drum & Bass, Breaks, Tech House & loads of Old Skool Jungle Techno , with a vinyl collection to die for.
