PURESA SESSION #16- OWAIN + XAMOUNT

J-Dubz is a Bedford based UK Garage DJ who first found love with this distinctive underground sound around 1998. 

A classmate was listening to something called ‘Garage Nation’ on his Walkman, and wanting to fit in, I pretended I knew exactly what Garage music was and asked to borrow the tape… As soon as I heard Mr Blakey announce ‘Introducing Timmy Magic, from London’s Dreem Teem’ I was instantly hooked… It was like nothing like I’d ever heard before. Music with such groove, swing, soul, energy… I knew I’d stumbled across something special. After hearing Blakey, all I wanted to do was be an MC and would spend hours writing lyrics. However, there was a shift when a friends brother bought some belt drive Soundlab turntables and I tried to learn to DJ for myself. Once I’d caught the DJ bug, writing lyrics stopped and my energy (and money) went into learning the craft and buying my own turntables & vinyl. After a brief stint away from the scene during the grime era, my passion reconnected during the ‘Lost Years’ where garage was yet again a small underground scene, but very musically focused & led by some of UKG’s old school pioneers. 

Flash forward ‘’some’’ years and I’ve been lucky enough to represent brands such Str8 GarageHouse, Give Me Garage, MC Kie Presents and the mighty Garage Nation, the brand that made it all happen for me! This genre means the world to me, it’s opened so many doors and introduced me to some incredible people, as well as put me on stages with some people I consider idols 🙏🏻

Huge thanks to JP for reaching out and asking me to feature on this amazing collaboration with an incredible array of DJ’s & proper connoisseurs! What some of these guys have forgotten about Garage, I’m yet to learn!👌🏻 Garage music is alive and thriving thanks to an influx of new talented producers! UKG is something I’m glad has been a huge part of my life… Long may it continue! 💙

Luke Harmony found a taste for being a DJ in his teens, back in 99’, through his passion with vinyl, rooted in his love for Garage, enjoying the diversity and all round energy that the music had to offer. Nothing quite came close to the sound, listening to the likes of Tuff Jam and DJ EZ, and pirate radio stations such as Upfront 99.3 FM. He enjoyed nothing more than sifting through record stores around his hometown, London, always present in Independance Records in Lewisham, known for its rich Grime history, City Sounds, Uptown Records & Big Apple, to name a few.
Over the years he showed real dedication to the art, honing his skills holding residencies and playing locally in bars, clubs and private affairs throughout London. A turning point, and appreciation from the music world, came when the ever popular, Kiss 100 FM, announced Luke “Agency DJ Of The Year” in 2008. 
Being judged by top DJ’s, Steve Smart, DJ Swerve, and hosts Ricky & Melvin the decision was unanimous, baffling their programming director with his technical ability in competition. Luke Harmony was swiftly flown to Ibiza and had a one-off showcase on Kiss 100 on his return. Building on his versatility within all genres over the years and humble ability to seamlessly merge any type of sound together with perfect synchronisation, he then started and run his own club night in 2008, “Love & Harmony” with partner Mark Love playing the best in House & Garage. Together they spread L&H’s mantra “It’s All About The Music” from London to Nottingham, with sell out nights and a unique twist on clubbing, the brand quickly became known throughout. Luke enjoyed some time on various pirate radio stations over the years like Select FM & Hype Radio before hanging up the headphones outside of the ‘bedroom’ for his main career elsewhere in 2012.
UK Garage has always been at the core of Luke and he has always kept more than an ear to the ground, collecting so much more than he could ever listen to. He’s also spent well over a decade buying and selling vinyl to hungry addicts, all the while expanding his own collection. In 2018 he decided to get back to his roots and concentrate more on what he loved, buying 1210’s and getting back to DJing mainly UKG. 
Luke has DJ’ed alongside many of his own personal favourite producers and DJ’s, playing beside DJ EZ and MJ Cole, The Dreem Teem, Pied Piper, DJ Luck & MC Neat & many others, even a back to back with Justin Wilkes. He’s played in many top clubs like Ministry Of Sound, Pacha and London’s O2, to name but a few, and untold underground hotspots. But the all-round connoisseur is happiest just vibing to whoever will listen to him playing, even if just on an Instagram live!

KiRKie is putting his hometown of Bradford on the map thanks to his compelling tech house visions. His dark, infectious style has been championed by the likes of Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, and Jamie Jones, and has found a home on influential labels including Circus, DOSMUNDOS, and his own Uncut imprint. Now, KiRKie steps further into the spotlight with three forward-thinking club weapons for Lee Foss’ powerhouse label, Repopulate Mars.

Lead track 'Pressure' kicks oﬀ with gurgling bass and dubby kicks that are gloppy and supple like molten lava. Crisp hits and a sleazy tech swagger bring a future-facing energy, as little vocal details bring the groove to life. 'Drop It Low' is no-frills tech house that nods to the early 2000s, bringing dark energy, stripped-back drums, and irresistibly gritty funk. Well-sampled hip-hop bars bring the beats up to date, and acid twitches make it perfectly rave-ready. 'Hottie On The Dancefloor' shuts down with a final fusion of hip-hop bravado, driving drums, and undercooked production. Add in subtle Eastern melodic flourishes, and you have a distinctly fresh dancefloor anthem.

PREMIERE: KiRKie - Drop It Low [Repopulate Mars]

We’ve all met a Karen.  
And if you haven’t… you might be the Karen.

“Everyone Knows a Karen” is my deep house x R&B wink at that one person who loves complaining more than breathing. Smooth chords, cheeky bassline, side-eye energy all the way through.

Perfect for retail trauma flashbacks, group chat storytimes, and getting ready while you rant about that customer, neighbour, or parent at parents’ evening.

Tag your Karens (carefully), blast it in the break room, and if you feel personally attacked… maybe just dance it off.

Proper Garage Round2

OK, so here’s me ... 
Started  my love of UK Garage from 1997 when flipping burgers at Mac Donald’s.  My pals at the time introduced me to a Sun City tape tape - Booker T and MC Creed and I was hooked from the first track. 

My local night club was just starting to play some garage on Monday night 50p a pint “oi oi” but it t wasn’t quite what I had head on that tape pack the previous year, so I then discovered a Garage Nation flyer Easter Special at the Club Colosseum, Vauxhall. Me and a few pals went, as we were queuing in the long line I heard the bass rumble of Buddy X by the dream team, I ran up the stairs feeling a little out of my comfort zone being in South London but I was there for the music and will never forget the rush of a night full of garage music. 
Fast forward to 1999 and I hadn’t missed a single Garage Nation, going to Colly on other nights - Delight FM launch Party, Inspiration, Exposure and the weekly Liberty. Garage Nation then moved clubs in the year 2000 and it's never been the same since in my opinion!
2001 I started my pirate radio work, Temptation FM in Cambridge with about 3 listeners and swiftly moved on to London's Subjam FM where I held the Thursday 4-6PM drive time show and loved it! Subjam was a platform for people like me who wanted to show  London a different side of UK Garage, not just the commercial side that was now mainstream but keeping it underground. Subjam had some great Djs that went on to have amazing DJ and production careers. 
I had my monthly night 'Intimacy' where I booked all the big Garage acts at the time, EZ, Heartless, Norris Da Boss Windross, Da Click, it was an honour to book the likes of Martin Larner who I had met from the nights at club Colly. One of our best Night's was was myself Djing with Sparks and Kie, a recording that I have uploaded on here. Check it out. And one of my proudest nights was when I teamed up with Garage Nation for a new year special. You couldn't move that night!  Ram Jam to say the least! 
2007 saw the end of Intimacy and my career as a DJ in the club scene and Radio, my first son was on the way and I wanted to be there for and with him. I hope one day he follows my footsteps (although not with the music I hear him listening too!) Now I have 2 sons and another one the way, I have picked up the headphones again and am collecting records once more. I will every now and then drop a mix and upload here. I will also be digging out the old tapes, mini discs and Ds to upload. 
Enjoy!
