Welcome to episode 486 of the Everyday Junglist Podcast!

Thank you THUGWIdoW for your mix on episode 485!

Episode 486 brings us a mix from the boss of Devon's Road Recordings, Rhi Spect!

Rhi's mix has a beautiful flow and great track selection, combining atmospherics with tuff amen tunes and some forthcoming bits from Devon's Road Recordings! Rhi Spect smashed it!

Let's meet our dj for episode 486, Rhi Spect:

1. Who was my biggest musical influence?  - 
It's really really hard to pick one influence! Unless i can just say my family - as I've raved with brother, who is a sick 93 hardcore dj (DJ Hijack) and sister from being a teenager to this day and we've discovered new music together, gone through changes in our music taste together, plus my brother bought me my Technics for my birthday, which was the best bday present ever and was the start of my djing journey, so that was a game changer.  My dad was also a massive influence for me musically, he plays harmonica & saxophone in blues bars, festivals & carnival every year and is self-taught. I mean come on, family has gotta be my biggest musical influence as I probably wouldn't be that into music at all if it wasn't for growing up with music surrounding me.

If it has to be an artist it would be DBridge I think... but it's so difficult as there's so many artists I rate! 
Dbridge is one of my biggest influences, from being part of Bad Company who made some of the best drum & bass tracks which I will always love, probably as they were the tunes I first bought and started mixing with and still do, to his own releases which for me, are always soulful, dark and moody. One of my favourite tunes ever is Inner Disbelief, proper moving, but with that bad bassline that you have to wait for and then today running Exit.

2. Tell us about anything new and upcoming for Devons Road Recordings
, We have just released the tune Just u & me on limited edition 10" dubplate, we have Volume 2 of Time and Motion coming out in April and exciting releases coming from Bomb Shelter Crew and Anti Traxx later this year plus we are looking forward to more parties at Four Quarters in Peckham, SE London where all the crew get to test out their dubs! The next one is on Thursday April 6th and it's free entry.

3. I'm having a bit of insomnia. What's the best sound to fall asleep to, ocean waves or a spring rain storm?

Luckily, I don't get insomnia, but if I needed some sound to help me sleep, I'd choose ocean waves. I think that would be more calming than lively spring rain!

Jamie G presents the United Colours Of Jungle Show - 02 June 2023

Marking the 7000 follower milestone, here's a themed set of mixes I've been sat on for a while. The first, which sets out to offer a complete Indiana Jones-style adventure in aural breakbeat/jungle form, was made back in late 2021. Odd concept but I really like it, besides, there's weirder stuff to come. Watch this space for the next three parts over the coming days and weeks. 

Cheers for the support as always. Special shout to fellow theme connoisseur @kolanut, nice to see you back on mix duties! :)

Essence of Chi was birthed in South London in February 2004 and swiftly emerged as one of the most rapidly expanding Drum & Bass promotions of the early 2000s. Renowned for throwing unforgettable parties that ensnared all facets of drum and bass, from the depths of deep grooves to the explosive energy of the dance floor, EOC events are famed for their electric atmosphere, meticulous attention to detail in sound, lighting and space, and of course a roster of exceptional artists, harmoniously blended together to achieve the perfect equilibrium.

From humble origins at Brixton's Plan B, EOC gradually evolved into roadblocked birthday soirées at Scala and Hidden, whilst regular events at the then-infamous Herbal in Shoreditch witnessed around-the-block queues. Gramaphone became the next stomping ground from 2010 until its eventual closure in 2011.

EOC’s sonic wings continued to spread: hosting tour parties in locations across the UK, such as Leeds, Oxford, Brighton, Guildford, and Portsmouth & arenas at some of London's most prestigious drum and bass events, including Renegade Hardware v Valve during Carnival 2006, The Baby Box and Bar at the iconic Ministry of Sound for their in-house d&b nights, Fuse and Switch. EOC even had the privilege of commanding an entire weekend at Innovation in the Sun two years on the trot, alongside Rotation. Not forgetting their legendary legacy at Moondance, the EOC area held a regular residency for an unparalleled ten years running. This lead to being twice nominated twice for the coveted title of Best Small Club Night at the Drum n Bass Awards, in both 2008 and 2009.

Fast forward to 2017, when Essence of Chi made an explosive comeback, taking on the mighty task of leading the electrifying Drum n Bass stage at Moondance Festival, while also returning triumphantly to Scala for a curated extravaganza on the hallowed ground of New Year’s Eve. And thus began a wave of "Middle Skool" events, paying homage to the Golden Era of 1999-2009 in conjunction with scene stalwart, DJ Ascension, captivating the hearts and souls of ravers at North London's Work Bar & Club 512.

With the dawn of 2024 on the horizon, EOC sets its sights on a momentous 20th Anniversary celebration. Plans are underway for a multi-venue jubilee, crafted in collaboration with their longtime allies and ethical clothing sponsors, THTC. Coincidentally, THTC themselves are celebrating an impressive 25 years in the industry, making this a harmonious convergence of musical milestones.
