Belgium based music producer J.Nomad, real name Jessie Thijs produces Footwork/Jungle and Juke music.
Starting his musical journey in 2015 on Halogen Music being part of a various artists album gave him the likes of Belgian Dnb guru Murdock (Rampage). What followed was a single together with UK based music producer Crypticz that they released on Halogen Music aswell. “Downfall” dropped hard and got picked up by Om Unit and Hyroglifics to name a few.
After releasing a couple of other tracks including releases on Antwerp based footwork label Footjuice and a collab with Canadian beat wizards Greazus on Halogen Music, J.Nomad was being featured on Corrupted’s “Bussaback EP” with two collabs including “Holdin’ On” wich got picked up by Friction and being played on his legendary BBC 1Xtra Show.
 J.Nomad tries to grab back to the 90’s sound combined with chopped breakbeats and sampled iconic vocals that shaped the 90’s.

ALL PROFITS WILL GO TO CANCER RESEARCH UK

OUT NOW!!! AVAILABLE FROM: https://junglesyndicate.bandcamp.com/ 

Andy was one of the kindest souls we have ever had the pleasure of knowing and his loss has been felt throughout the music industry and beyond. 

He was such a humble artist who played gigs for the love not the money and made music purely for his and others’ enjoyment; music was his true passion. 

From his first release on Jerona Fruits Recordings in 2007 through Soothsayer Recordings in 2008, Fizzy Beats and Utopia music in 2009 and V Recordings in 2015 right up to his latest on Metalheadz and Inperspective, Andy’s sound is truly unique to him, whatever the style. His edits, pads and bass are instantly recognisable and the two tracks on this vinyl are no exception. 

We are releasing these tracks in memory of Andy and his music, loved by so many. 

On behalf of Andy, his family and friends please join us in continuing his legacy by promoting his music, old and new. Through this he will live on in our hearts, minds and sound systems, forever. 

To honour Andy and the person he was, all profits from this release will be donated to Cancer Research in his name.

“Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the last Sub System releases which were a complete sell out” Sam Missing recounts. “That was at the start of lockdown and I am sure like many it’s been a surreal year but even with the clubs currently closed, the music must go on!  So here we are, launching the next three Sub System releases under the banner ‘Three From ‘93’.  Like most of our projects, these releases were formed through chance encounters and the very few degrees of separation that seem to exist in the jungle universe!  It wasn’t clear until the end of the project that we realised there was a very clear direction these releases had gravitated to, and that was the foundation year of 1993! Let me explain…” 

(Very much like how things pan out for me with Vinyl Fanatiks, when things flow organically, the jungle gods align and the synchronicity of the universe guides a projects direction).

“First up we have ‘Jack it Operator’ which comes with the incredible Fracture remix. This all came about because I went to Jungle Jam at The Cause in Tottenham just before Christmas last year. John Foul Play was spinning and dropped my recent release on Sub System; “X Amount of Dubs”. I was also lucky enough to have my old Kemet classic ‘The Box Reopens’ given a rinse by Uncle Dugs, so I was buzzing. Not only that but Kenny Ken played an amazing set with a slew of jungle rollers followed by an epic back to back between Fracture and Sherelle. I left the night inspired and over next few days quickly sketched out a track which captured the vibes of the night. The result being ‘Jack it Operator’; a stripped back steppa with a hooky reggae vocal sample and King Tubby style bouncy bassline.  The track turned out to be a more modern vibe than old skool jungle. So I really felt that it needed a remix which was more on the 160 tip, a bit like what Fixate previously did for us on Sub System. But who to ask???” 

“After his awesome set at Jungle Jam, I felt that Fracture was an obvious person to approach. We had spoken previously about possible remixes but we hadn’t met in person. Coincidentally, he also lives in Hackney and we had a few mutual friends through our kids but our paths hadn’t crossed. Fate then played a big part in things as one of my kids had a birthday party to go to a few weeks after Jungle Jam and who do I bump into there but Charlie Fracture! We now have a chance to meet in person for a ‘fractured’ conversation as we deal with madness and constant interruptions that a kid’s birthday party throws at you! We never got the chance to chat properly but a few weeks later we hit lockdown and time is on both our hands, so we pick up the conversations via email and I ask him if he would be up for a remix of a new tune I had made called ‘Jack It Operator’. He jumps on it and quickly hands in a killer 160 mix which is not just an incredible remix but channels the vibes of 1993 and takes me back to that time of crossover between jungle and hardcore with tunes like The House Crew’s ‘Euphoria’. He totally smashed the remix and lit the first ’93 candle that Brent and I hadn’t yet realised was a theme!  It was premiered on the Hospital Podcast and even got a rewind, which is rare for an online podcast! Things looked positive”.

It’s been only a few months since I was last interviewing Sam AKA Missing. Our relationship came about via chance. Sam was working in a Bournemouth studio alongside Bernie AKA Mr. Time from Tearin Vinyl. I was already chatting to Bernie about re-releasing some of the Tearin back catalogue as Ellis Dee had introduced us. So when myself and Sam linked, I knew destiny was mapping out a new direction and a repress of Sam’s self-released 1994 banger ‘Missing - Volume One’ was needed on Vinyl Fanatiks. As things do, a natural progression continued, with conversations steering towards releasing some vinyl together. Sam already had the vehicle, Sub System Recordings, which he had released a digital only track on a few years previous. Perfect. Earlier this year we launched the vinyl arm of the label to huge success but more material was required and consequently a new story unfolded, one that Sam describes to me;

“Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the last Sub System releases which were a complete sell out” Sam Missing recounts. “That was at the start of lockdown and I am sure like many it’s been a surreal year but even with the clubs currently closed, the music must go on!  So here we are, launching the next three Sub System releases under the banner ‘Three From ‘93’.  Like most of our projects, these releases were formed through chance encounters and the very few degrees of separation that seem to exist in the jungle universe!  It wasn’t clear until the end of the project that we realised there was a very clear direction these releases had gravitated to, and that was the foundation year of 1993! Let me explain…” 

“Next we come on to Jimmy... if you go back to the early 90’s there were a bunch of ‘name tracks’ in jungle; Johnny Jungle, Scottie and of course Ricky! R-I-C-K-Y!!!” Missing had been keen to bring back the names! I mean, who can forget their favourite ‘name’ track? Any time you hear that name said or shouted down the street you automatically started reciting that tune in your head. But the list of names was short and another one was needed, homage had to be paid, and a fresh name added to the exclusive collective. ‘Jimmy’ was born. Sam drops science “I often think that in the original jungle era we weren’t scared to drop in a leftfield sample, those quirky, whimsical touches often blew up and inspired others. We took from all genres of music, video games and definitely film and TV samples. Tracks had personality, even as far as having names! I wanted to bring that vibe back and also update the dark side vibe of ‘93.  I had been searching for another name track inspiration but nothing had caught me.  Then a few weeks into lockdown I found the perfect vocal and ‘Jimmy’ was born. I gave a copy to Bailey who dropped it on his live sets including the Ram House Party. He was vibing on it and pulled up a rewind which was a great accolade. I was well happy. Anyway, the idea for the track was from the 90’s era but the track had crisp modern beats so it definitely made sense to have it reimagined into a traditional jungle style banger. Enter Lavery...  Tom Lavery is too young to have experienced the darkside era first time around but he is definitely one of the top producers in the scene championing the 90’s jungle and hardcore sound.  He was already on my radar for a remix on Sub System and I really wanted him to remix this tune and thankfully he agreed. I have to say he certainly came correct on this one, channeling the Soul Pride break adding sliced up Amen vibes into a fresh darkside smasher. Brutal and its 1993 all over!”
