I first played this festival in 2017 and it was honestly one of the best woodland raves I’d ever been to, so when I got invited again in 2022 there was no way I could turn it down. Funnily enough this set actually started out as a potential "Rave Dreaming" mix (the next in the series) but instead it evolved into being one of my festival sets for 2022. Pretty sure this is also the same set I played at Altitude Festival in Devon now I think about it - another lovely festival! Anyways, enjoy :)

100+ tracks by De La Soul in the mix..

This mix was originally made to celebrate the reissues of De La’s back-cat, and broadcast on BBC 6 Music a month ahead of the March 3rd release date.

Just over a week after this mix was broadcast, Dave, aka Trugoy the Dove, aka Plug Two, tragically passed away. A few weeks before release. 

The first half of this is the original 40-minute version of the broadcast mix.
A 27-minute edit was broadcast Saturday 4th Feb 2023, for the Block Party mix on The Huey Show.

The second half is a bonus 40-minute selection of 15 more faves - tracks that I feel needed time to breath; some that felt a bit dark for Saturday morning radio, and a few where Dave’s bars hit a little more poignantly now. A bittersweet time. 

Recorded Saturday 4th March 2023, the day after De La day.

Salutes to Posdnuos, Maseo, Prince Paul & the Native Tongues.
Rest in power, Dave.

De La Soul forever.
Stay Plug Tunin’.

Dedicated to Dave Jolicoeur & Don Newkirk.

DJ Craze: Live on 1Xtra (2003)

DJ Craze: 1Xtra Hip-Hop Weekender (26/05/2003)

After a hiatus of seven(!) years, I finally made time to drop a new mix. As the name suggests, this one is a pretty raw 60-minute mix of 23 of my favourite records from my DJ crate. Starting on a laid-back soul/funk tip, then progressing through some classic hip hop cuts before locking into a steady groove around the halfway mark. Featuring tracks by Gang Starr, James Spencer, Jeru the Damaja, DJ Format, Neko Neko, Margo Thunder, Lord Finesse, Marley Marl, Black Moon, The O'Jays, Bar-Kays, EPMD and others.

Nothing overly technical going on here, just an hour of booming funk, neck-snapping beats and conscious raps.

Raw Elements (Part One) (2017)

DJ Z-Trip & DJ P - Uneasy Listening, Vol.1

Heavy Stylus: An explosive amalgamation of Jamaican roots, hip hop beats, heavy soul breaks and blaxploitation ghetto-funk.

I’ve been rocking funk/soul/beats/hiphop/roots for around 20 years in various bars and clubs across the South West, and have supported a wide range of acts and artists such including Jelly Jazz, Boca 45, Andy Smith, Quantic, Craig Charles, DJ Food, Bonobo, Gilles Peterson, Ugly Duckling and DJ Format.

Although I started as a vinyl-only DJ in Bristol, these days I use a pair of battle-scarred Pioneer CDJs as my weapons of choice. I’m currently a resident (of 11 years) at the Angel Bar on Queen Street, and in the past have held Exeter-based residencies at The Monkey Suit, Timepiece, Dr. Inks and Verve (now Urban Underground), as well as DJing regularly for Hold it Down.

(Oh, and in addition to rocking the ones-and-twos, James Monkman is also one half of Exeter-based independent videogame development studio RGCD.DEV, hence the goofy twitter tag).
