Digital Dubs 1998 - 2014 - FUNC 506

I started producing 29 years ago, and in this time, I've never stopped making DNB/Jungle reggae, dub, techno and all kinds of weirdness.

Brand new tracks on vinyl will soon come but check these oldies for now. Cheers!

This Time_DNB/Jungle

Next Time_Dubbed Out Beats



'Flames' and 'Beat Workout' featured on a mix Spirit and I did for my album, Dubzilla. 'Jailhouse' is a paranoid twisted half-time stepper. 'Mask' has dubbed out techy chords, bags of bass and a smooth amen break. 'Common Ground' is me getting into synthesisers. 'Experience' and 'Distance' are musical journeys with heavy basslines. I made 'Forward Thinking' in a dreamy state after a heap of partying, so there's an oddness about it I like.

'Short Memory' and 'Regret' are rowdy two-step rollers. 'Outrage' sounds like a track from 97 with its loud Reese bass and crunchy breaks. (It also sounds like something my pal Outrage would make hence the name) 'Free Roll' shows I'll use a riff lead on any old breakbeat I can find cos it's fun!

Name's Clint and I'm in my thirties. Born in Croydon, raised in Peterborough. Started off listening to Hip-Hop and Rap in the late 80's until I heard a style called Acid House / Rave. From there I listened to the sounds of early hardcore in '91 - '92. When the scene split I preferred the Jungle sounds and started to mess about MC'ing and DJ'ing around '94. Began to take music more seriously between '96 and the Millennium when I concentrated on my DJ skills. Ventured into production around 2003 through a friend named ProZach and another good friend Overdrive has helped me with my progress. Always use vinyl when mixing (Including vinyl dubs) ... there's no compromise yet in my opinion. I play Old school Hardcore, Jungle Techno, Jungle & Drum n Bass for club nights, Festivals and outdoor parties in Peterborough, UK wide and have played in Sweden, Amsterdam and Spain also with good feedback from Promoters and ravers. Tend to play a variety of styles based on my knowledge, perception and experience since the rave scene began. 

I used to run my own night with Mr Bang-E (Tony) called Subliminal showcasing the deeper & darker side of Jungle / Drum 'n' Bass with local, UK & Worldwide DJ's, Producers & MC's who are not necessarily established, however, have a passion and love for the music. Artists who have played so far include Double O, Mantra, Digital & Outrage, Ulterior Motive, Nymfo & Secret Society. I joined Tony (Mr Bang-E) in pushing NeuroFunktion forward a few years ago, which is a night for the deeper Drum & Bass headz also. Past events have included artists such as Break, Vicious Circle, Silent Witness, Phobia & Raiden. 

Also used to run a night called Foundation with my other friend Chris (Overdrive) which gives respect to where the music came from back in the day. So far Ellis Dee, Top Buzz featuring MAD P, Tango & Ratty, Equinox & Bizzy B and Brainstormer have played for us but due to lack of interest Foundation will now occasionally host the second room of Subliminal parties.

My musical goal in life is to create and play Jungle / Drum and Bass music which is felt by everyone for the warm and soulful vibes. 

Love life and live life long, Peace.

I got into the rave scene by seeing the likes of The Prodigy, Altern 8, Bizarre Inc, Orbital and Moby on the TV in the early 90s. Regular visits to the local record shops. Ended up me buying some decks. Being under 18. I spent a lot of my early years mixing on illegal pirate radio stations called laser fm, storm, frequency, choice and kiss 100 Worcester (not exile radio). Playing all forms of hardcore music under the name DJ Trauma. When old enough. I started playing out in the clubs. I mainly could be found in the second room at mindgames, zig zag's doing the drum and bass. I also got a booking at an event called Wrekweim. Which was my first appearance at the legendary Sanctuary night club in Milton Keynes in November 1996. I joined a dj agency after that. Which had mixed results. But I did do a few gigs in mainland Europe. One of the best being in north Germany. The rave was in this graffiti interior house which had a massive cellar. This house and also a music studio in the same German city were funded by a millionaire. So that the young people had some where to hang out and enjoy music. Pretty cool. I noticed the free party rave scene in Oxfordshire had a revival back in the late 90's. So I got the chance to play all my favourite rave and hardcore tunes from the golden era. Playing in many different environments like warehouses, fields, farm barns, boats etc. Amazingly I was at the first Truck festival (which i think is still going even now). I enjoyed many hassle free nights out in Oxford at top old skool events like depth charge. Also the source, a wicked drum and bass night that always had the best dj's. Typically after a few years the scene went a little backwards there. In part to the main clubs like the Zodiac and all of Oxford's iconic records shops closing down. Not to fear. I started my bi-weekly residency at Baby Simple in Oxford for many years (2007 to 2012) I kept things moving on. Performed for many promotions through the 2000s in the Midlands such as nu breed, pure x, timeless and illusion. Also appeared at various festivals including Glade. I have organised and put on a few events. Generally in Oxford and Worcester. Easily the biggest one I done was the colossal custard festival. Which was at the custard factory Birmingham August bank holiday in 2008. An all nighter with four arena's of drum and bass, tech house, acid techno, breaks and classic rave from the early days. But due to work and other life commitments. I did one last dj gig at the Bully, Cowley Road Oxford, early 2016. Then I called it a day dj-ing out. Music is my passion and the main thing is there's still so much new and old music to discover. I am on Soundcloud everyday. Don't really have a favourite tune of all time. There's just too many. But even now I still play the classic Prodigy experience album way too much. I bet you lot play it pitched up on the Technics like myself. Much love to everyone following me on soundcloud and also knows me in person. I have met so many dj's, mc's and artists over the years. Personality wise. The one's in the scene that you probably would of heard of. That I got on well with or met at least once are : John B, Stu Allan [r.i.p], Billy "Daniel" Bunter, Dj Vibes, Andy & Simon Bassline Smith, Glen Aston, Bryan Gee, Mickey Finn, Blame, Dj Lee, The Invisible Man, Brillo, Jason & Paul (aka Total Science), Mouly (Massive Records), Chris Energy,  Jay Jay & Mark C, Tera, Tango [r.i.p], Dj Warlock, Beau (Intense), Rob Vanden, Remarc, Eksman, Dj Freak, Hazard and Dj Spice (Music First) Dego & Mark (4 Hero), Goldie, DJ Ron, Keith Suckling, Shock C, Pete Parsons (Voyager) and even house dj Tall Paul Newman. Been lots of others I ain't been impressed with. Better not say who as i'll end up in trouble. Anyway massive respect to all rave goers and everyone making brand new old skool hardcore style tunes on the cloud. Loving your work. Respect due to all the internet radio stations for keeping the pirate vibe alive. I personally love jungletrain.net with the likes of Pete Devnull & Tim Reaper, Equinox, Djinn, Code, Greenleaf, Rumbleton, Josh Hill, Arnicvs, Krugah, Paludal & Jaja. Whats not to love. My soundcloud page is dedicated to the memory of my old pal Chris Savage aka Mr Sav. Who sadly pasted away January 2014. You may still find some of his classic jungle tekno and gramophone record shows here on soundcloud. So check them out.
