Trace returns with another deep dive into the shadows of the sound. Tales From the Underground – strictly raw, rolling, and razor-sharp drum & bass from the dark side

Trace: Tales from the Underground – Kool FM (17.06.25)

This mix presents a more chilled side of Dillinja. These are mostly tunes from '94 to '96, when he was a studio hermit putting in his 10,000 hours and finding his sound. The tough beats and chest crushing bass are present, but these earlier tracks have a breathy ambience that nicely balance the heaviness. IMO 30 years on they still smoke 99% of today's jungle revival tracks. Track list is below. Enjoy!

00:00 Dillinja - Sovereign Melody (Deadly Vinyl, 1994)
03:36 Dillinja - Breathe (Deep Jungle, 2018)
07:25 Dillinja - Another Dimension (Deep Jungle, 2017)
10:19 Basic Influence - Still Waters (Run Deep Mix) (Hardleaders, 1997)
13:31 Björk - Cover Me (Dillinja Mix) (One Little Indian, 1996)
17:13 Dillinja - Deadly Deep Subs (Remix) (Razors Edge, 1996)
21:37 Dillinja - Brutal Bass (Metalheadz, 1995)
24:49 Dillinga - Follow Me (Kickin, 1995)
26:31 Dillinja & Bryan Gee - Bad Man (Amen Mix) (V, 2015)
29:37 Capone - Mysteries Of The Deep (Hardleaders, 1996)
33:13 Dillinja - Promise (Metalheadz, 1997)
38:48 Dillinja - Threshold (Prototype, 1996)
40:50 Dillinja - Ja Know Ya Big (Metalheadz, 1995)
45:02 Trinity - Chapter 19 (V, 1994)
47:08 Dillinja - Deadly Deep Subs (Deadly Vinyl, 1994)
50:02 Alex Reece - Basic Principles (Dillinja 'Step 1') (Metalheadz, 1995)
53:14 Basic Influence - Rainforest (Hardleaders, 1996)
58:32 Dillinja - You (Dom & Roland Productions, 2018)
1:00:50 Dillinja - Deep (Deep Jungle, 2020)
1:03:26 Dillinja - The Angels Fell (Metalheadz, 1995)

Steppa Doomsday Dub 2022 by Mynotorstepa

We’re delighted to present the 16th Bassic mix, this time with drum and bass legend Digital at the controls.

The last couple of years have seen the veteran producer return in an astounding manner, with a plethora of releases to his name in that time. Digital collaborated with Spirit for ‘The Wolf EP’ on Metalheadz, debuted on Dispatch with ‘Red Alert’ and still found time to make appearances on Horizons, Ingredients, V Recordings, Commercial Suicide and many more.

With Phantom Audio’s first release since 2013 out last week, attention is now turning to another of Digital’s imprints in Function (which this year has released the highly sought-after Dub Phizix remix of ‘Deadline’ and the hard-hitting collab with Drumsound & Bassline Smith ‘Bail Out’) where there’s a huge project in the pipeline. The various artists and collaboration only album is penned for a spring release and will feature the likes of Digital, Spirit, Total Science, Klute, Om Unit, Amit, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Nomine, Need For Mirrors, Response and more.
