Earlier this year we brought you the news of an innovative new collaboration which pairs two producers with unique perspectives on sound design and music.

Prequel Tapes is best known for his noisy, disjointed approach to techno and the rougher drone inspired fringes of electronica and IDM. He has released music on the likes of Mannequin and R'COUP'D. 

Meanwhile, dBridge remains one of the most innovative figures in UK bass music culture having released cutting edge downtempo, jungle and drum 'n' bass over many decades for the likes of Creative Source, Exit Records and Metalheadz. 

Now the two have collaborated on a new EP for Midnight Shift, a record label which continues to connect generations of well versed music heads through its consistent release of high quality techno, bass and the weirder, heavier fringes of dance music. This new EP pairs two unique, creative minds. The result is a mutant hybrid showcasing the importance of collaboration and innovation. 

Following the release we asked kindly whether the pair might be up for recording a mix together, an alternative insight into their own collections and musical tapestry. The result is an old school mixtape, reel to reel vibes with integrity at its core.

Prequel Tapes & dBridge: The 'Monday Is Okay' Mix

Doc Scott runs 31 Records and co-founded the influential Metalheadz Recordings with Goldie. Few djs & producers did more to birth the dark mid-'90s sound of jungle than Scott. A true pioneer of electronic music. Enjoy!

Few people have explored UK dance music from as many angles as Om Unit. This was writ large across his set, as the Bristol-based DJ, producer and educator treated the Siren stage to bags of excellent house, jungle, dubstep and more.

The Blood Bank. The first installment in an open ended new mix series. No gimmicks, no tracklist, rough and ready. New tunes, old tracks, deep cuts, and a few forthcoming bits…simply put, this is what I would like the sound of 160+ BPM electronic music to embody.

Hitting the higher tempos with this month's show and at points, some wildly experimental new music.  I also over indulgently played a few of my own tunes too. All in the mix and no chat.
