DBA PODCAST 17 - BEN GALYAS

Liftin Spirit Records was the original sister label to Andy C’s renowned and award-winning RamRecords, both based in the same studio in Hornchurch, Essex, UK owned by Ant Miles since 1994.

‘Transmission 96’ is a collaborative LP between one of the pioneers of Jungle and Drum and Bass, Liftin’ Spirits (aka Ant Miles), and DJ Persuasion, a longtime fan of the genre, who grew up listening to Miles' groundbreaking productions. As the title suggests, the LP takes its inspiration from the second wave of Jungle Drum and Bass in the mid 1990s, an era when breakbeats, hardcore stabs and soulful melodies dominated the dancefloor.

The two became friends after meeting in 2017. Around 2020 during the Covid lockdown, the pair decided to collaborate, exchanging ideas, and over time 'Transmission 96’ began to take shape as an LP.

Across ten tracks, the duo bring their love of all styles of Jungle Drum and Bass to the table, crafting an album for listeners, dancers and fans of the genre alike. Tracks like ‘Control (Moving On)’ and ‘Without Me’ carry a soulful, introspective energy, while at the harder end of the spectrum, ‘Tuffness Direct’ and ’Insomniac’ are guaranteed to smash up dancefloors that champion the era. ‘We R A.i.’,morphs emotion-laden liquid vibes with artificial Intelligence piano.

‘Transmission 96’ reflects on a magical era of Jungle Drum and Bass, which is recognised as one of the most influential genres in the history of dance music.

Left, Right & Centre with Nusheen - 28 July 2025

A vital cog in London’s modern underground, @dj_tasha is celebrating 15 years of her @neighbourhood-music club night with a string of parties this summer. Having come up through the thrilling crossover era of the 2010s, she's folded her d&b roots and deep affinity for techno into an urgent, in-demand sound that keeps her on the road. 

Alongside a stellar sample of her craft recorded at a recent residency night at Open Ground in Wuppertal, she speaks to Oli Warwick about the peaks and troughs of promoting, her friendship with the late Marcus Intalex, and why socks are at the heart of Neighbourhood's family atmosphere.

Pure Vibes w/ Tim Clay & Ethics - 20/08/2025

He sat upon a little hill beside the bridge and looked out upon the river which passed down beneath. It was hard to see the ripples of the water but for the occasional flicker of the headlights which whizzed by up there on the overpass. Some people came out here from time to time to spot the northern lights but there wasn't much moving in the wayward sky this evening. 

There was a near silence in the air, the occasional scream of something wild in the woods in the distance would echo across the snow capped fields. 

He took a deep breath and watched as it filled the air with fog.

Don't Be Afraid has always represented the very best of the underground, a prominent label with a commitment to the out there. Label boss makes a triumphant return with a new EP.
