V Recordings - Tribute Mix - The Early Years

this is chapter 23 in a series of mixes called 'trust me i was there'. its been a while since i last uploaded a mix - reminds me of when i got my first job (aged 14, in canning town) where i was nicknamed 'arthur' cos i only ever did 'alf a' job. 
its been a great year, i've been working on lots of new music and hanging out with my kids lots, which is pretty much perfect... but i'll try to be a bit more consistent with these mixes.

the music in this mix, and the previous ones are the tracks that were played in the clubs i was playing and raving at, and on the radio stations i was on. in '93 i think i was on format fm with my dj partner swift - with a load of other great characters.

if you think someone would enjoy this mix please share it with them - and any other music of mine you may have on your hard drive :D

if you are a promoter and would like me to come and play a 'trust me' set (or new music) give charlotte at echo a shout. 

just listening back to this mix - when i heard 'Johnny Jungle' it took me back to a specific moment... I used to go Boogie Times as often as i could, and sometimes you'd catch Hype behind the counter scratching, which was a big deal cos we all used to check him on pulse, but the day that i remember really clearly was when i was in the shop with a few other punters and Pascal walked in and went through to the Office. Must be the same time that Johnny Jungle was about, and the whole place went quiet, and we were all like 'wow, you know who that was who just walked through? it was PASCAL'. I doubt many people realise how influential he was, or that he helped G start headz, all the old face recs stuff. what a dappa.

Fifth in the Blue Note series, and the first collaboration - twenty Headz-era gems selected by Roadblock @the-roadblock and assembled by yours truly.
 
I've been mates with Josh on this platform for a few years now, and I can assure you that on top of being a thoroughly decent guy he has impeccable taste in D&B, with a particular penchant for this era, so it made sense to get him involved. For me, shortlisting tracks can sometimes be more of a struggle than building the mix; maybe it's because of this that I love working with pre-defined sets - compilations and suchlike - so I was more than happy entrusting this part to him. Suffice to say, he delivered the goods. It's a deep and varied selection with a few new discoveries for me, lending itself nicely to a [insert cliché here] classic journey structure, from the atmospheric to the dark and hard, ultimately coming full circle. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint! Big ups Josh :)

Selectabwoy: Blue Note Volume Five

Blue Note Volume Five

You know what they say about the 60s: “if you can remember it, you really weren’t there”… well maybe the same goes for the St Paul’s Carnivals of the mid 90s! Certainly neither Will or I can remember the exact set list that Roni Size played alongside MC Dynamite on Brighton Street one Saturday night in early July 1995. But through the haze of ganja smoke and the fog of time – we can safely say that the set left a lasting impression on both of us and it became something of a seminal reference point as we were setting out on our musical journey together as Smart & Cruise.

So coming full circle (or cycle) when Will asked me for ideas for the next Selectabwoy mix, I suggested this. He leapt at the idea and it occurred to us that it was exactly 25 years ago to the week! So it had to happen. During the course of last week, we agonised over the selection and Will worked on the mix in the hope that we could convey something of that moment and the special place that it holds for us. It's not intended as a replica of that set. It’s a tribute to it… and to a warm night in July 1995 when Jungle reached its peak.

It was loud and it was packed. Everyone looked good, the herb was pumpin’ and we were buzzing… Roni was on fire dropping tune after tune. Hype’s remix of ‘RIP’, Mental Power’s ‘Deep Soul’, Roni’s own ‘Buck Rogers’ and Rampage’s ‘Why?’ blasted through the speaker stacks. A carnival-ready mix of dancehall and R&B samples, heavy basslines and sound system effects captured the vibe perfectly. 

All the producers featured on this mix were on top of their game. Smashing out tunes that they knew would rip up the dance. Looking back, the music changed after that summer. The ragga and soul samples were to fade out, giving way to more hip hop flavours as Jungle evolved into Drum & Bass.

Some of the dubs never emerged much to our dismay… we still speak wistfully of Dillinja’s ‘Selassie Sound’ and Roni’s ‘All the Way’ – which we did manage to include in this mix courtesy of a cheeky radio rip! The rare Leviticus Remix of S.T. Files ‘Part 1’ also features. It feels very special to be able bring this all together.

Big up Roni Size and Dynamite for inspiring us. Big up Selectabwoy for expertly mixing it up – it’s been great to work with you again my brother! And big up all the Bristol jungle heads and anyone who was there that night. We hope this mix brings back the memories.

* Message me if you have any copyright issues *

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
