Eliza’s style is home-grown, cultivating funky rhythms, silky vocals, soulful melodies and the deep, groovy sounds of London's underground. Delving deep into her collection, she presents a killer vinyl-only mix, unearthing 90s and early 00s UKG and garage house gems as well as a couple of tracks from her own Rosebud Recordings imprint.

UK club virtuoso, @joemakemusic flows through the genres for number 23 in the Junction 2 mix series.

Meticulous in the studio as well as behind the decks, Joe holds some of the most distinguished releases of the past decade. From the seminal ‘Claptrap’ on Hessle Audio, ‘MB / Studio Power On’ on Hemlock, or his most recent ‘Get Centred’ EP on Cómeme, his productions are a style-fusing, intricate, genre melting pot, which have have been a constant and refreshing injection into the UK club scene. Staying true to form, Joe plays with the listeners expectations as he expertly weaves through 60 minutes of body movers.

---ORIGINAL POST---

I finally hit 500,000 total plays on Soundcloud! 

Entirely grateful for each and every single play of any of my tracks. Regardless of how you found my music, be it through the Road Rap days as Versechild, Grime days as Kid Steely & Versatile, through the phonk as VRSYJNES, or through collabs with artists like Bones, Raider Klan, K-Koke and Ramirez/RVMIRXZ, I thank you. 

I could of put out any beat and just say “WOAH 500K THANKS FAM” but i decided to make this crazy beat that I had a lot of fun making, hence the length of the track. if you make it to the end of the track your a legend! (Cue the “lol sounds like sango” comments… i’m ready)

Thank you to all my listeners everywhere your from. Shout out to all the supporters from Texas, California, Florida, New York, Canada, Miami, and right here in London. 

If you found my music last week, last month, last year, or last decade (yup, i’ve been doing this for long folks), I thank you wholeheartly! When i see the support and the numbers i’m able to pull organically, it gives me hope to continue to bring y’all the good vibes. 

Welp, see ya at 1 Million plays (if Soundcloud is still alive!) 

Also, big thanks to Neon Banana (@Neonroobz) for the dope artwork!

Peace and love to you all,

The champagne-tinged, Moschino clad sound of UKG may have filled the clubs and late-night bars of London from the late-90s and went on to become a cornerstone of British dance music, but at the turn of the millennium over in Hamburg, Ostgut Ton’s Nick Höppner was pioneering the sound in a city known for it's techno. At the time, Höppner formed part of the UKG crew Tune, picking up rare records and dubplates in London and throwing weekly garage raves in Hamburg’s red light district.

Decades have passed since that time of Hennessey fuelled revelry. Höppner has gone on to become a linchpin of Berlin’s underground and is now fronting a new label imprint Touch From A Distance. But UKG never dies, and thanks to a rediscovered plastic bag full of minidiscs nearly 20 years old we have Höppner’s Y2K mix, a rarely heard homage to garage grooves from the German selector that pays tribute to this foundation sound. Pull up.

Nick: "I‘ve recently borrowed a minidisc player from a friend and went through a plastic bag full minidiscs, which has previously collected the dust of seven different flats since the turn of the millennium. Amongst them I found this mix here which I must have recorded at some point in 2000 in my Hamburg bed room. At that time I’ve been part of the Tune crew and we were running a weekly UK Garage night at the Lounge, a club in the heart of Hamburg’s redlight district. I was also still working as a music journalist for Groove Magazine and going to London frequently, where I had access to a lot of UKG records which never even made it out of the UK (or London). Stupidly, though, I sold the biggest chunk of that collection sometime in 2006, but here is a little time capsule documenting my (ongoing) love for this music. Enjoy!"

FM033: Nick Höppner (Y2K UKG MIX)

Armed with some fresh perspective and an arsenal of golden era gems Dr Banana joins our series this week with an hour long UKG mix that perfectly encapsulates the energy and passion of the past and catapults it into our laps here in 2020. Full of spirit and mischief, playful percussion and soulful vocal cuts are aplenty; a perfect soundtrack for any occasion and a welcomed burst of energy.

Championing artists past and present through the Dr Banana labels with releases from K-Lone as well as unearthing forgotten gems from Anthill Mob, Urban Myths and more, Dr Banana continues to keep the ethos of those golden days alive and very much at present.
