SYKIK- VINYL SESSIONS VOL 1 90s FLAVA - OLD SKOOL GARAGE

releasethapressure
From listening to house, rave, breakbeat, jungle, hardcore, techno & trance throughout the 90's, it wasn't until speed garage found a regular place in my headphones and HiFi around 1996 that a focus on underground house & garage started to emerge.
Listening to Tuff Jam on Kiss FM, hearing friends such as Leighton H-Trax make mixtapes and spin garage tunes weekly were all big influences in finally pushing other genres to the wayside.  Discovering the sounds of Todd Edwards was a pivotal moment prompting the purchase of a pair of 1210s in the Millennium and a journey into vinyl quickly became an obsession.
Avidly collecting tracks I heard my friends play years earlier and religiously recording EZ shows for daily listening to and from work, the scene had started to split and a new bumpy nuskool garage sound emerge from 2001.  From here, I found close friends and producers alike across forums and pirate stations such as Freeze FM, Subjam and Hyperadio as a regular listener and at legendary events such as 4by4 and Z-Uncut.  
With a transition to CDJs and digital, uploading hundreds of oldskool garage vinyl to YouTube as ReleaseThaPressure in 2009 proved popular, although only approx 40 of the most popular remain due to a fit of pique.  The vinyl acquisition kept the postman on first name terms for years as my collection expanded, fuelling weekend long mix sessions with friends and infrequent gigs at a local pre-club bars.
Sporadically releasing mixes including the Garage Bass House series GBH Vol 1-8 on SoundCloud/Mixcloud up to 2015 before going full circle back to vinyl, I started posting uploads to Instagram in 2016. Here I found like-minded enthusiasts and connoisseurs starting to gather, all eager to talk and post about oldskool garage vinyl like forums from years before.  
Several thousand uploads, a few mixes here and there, and many hundreds of new additions to my vinyl archive later, you will find I am still happiest rifling through crates, chatting about unreleased gems and sending clips to mates of that tune I couldn't remember last week.

I grew up around music where my Dad and Brother were both in sound systems, I started messing around with music in 1994 and that's when I got my first set of Decks. A couple of guys from school and I set up a 'sound' called Thunderforce and we played Swing, Soul, Ragga and Jungle. We played at lots of house parties and venues - alongside the Heartless Crew on many occasions. In 1995 I got a chance to MC with DJ Fax on Rude FM 104.3 and alongside MC's Ranking and Spee. In that year I got a chance to work in Kid Andy's studio where I got to make my first Drum and Bass track that was released on the "Upfront Records" label. In 1996 Lady Legs introduced me to the new sound that was around, called 'Garage'. Freek was the main station that I listened to and of course I would always lock into the shows of Maddness and EZ. I was lucky that a mate of mine asked me to MC for him on his show on Mission FM, that was the great DJ Colin I. We built up a good show and fan base and alongside the Lady Legs we became the "Fantastic Three". I joined Vocal Fusion where I got advice from MC Creed and he put me in touch with PSG who introduced me to Eli. From here things moved very quickly up the ladder....Eli and I made our first track "Pump", which got signed to an underground record label. After that we did "It's not right" using the Whitney Houston vocals, which got playlisted on Kiss FM. All of this led us to quite a bit of remix work, In 2001 we were very lucky to work with Colour Girl to record "Mas Que Nada", which entered the National Top 40 music chart. We also released a mixed CD called "Garage Anthems Summer 2K". Then we collaborated with JJ who owns Southside Records to make the "Storm on the Southside" CD. Eli and I then started the "Marvelis" Records label that I'm currently running. You can check out some of our latest UK Garage releases on Bandcamp and on Spotify.

Eddie Stuart UK Garage Mix 10 / 30

Frankie Magic has been spinning UK Garage and House for over a decade. It all began when he was 10, starting off with a pair of belt drive decks  and a small stack of funky house records. From those early days, Frankie has developed a passion for music that has grown and evolved with him throughout the years.

He first discovered UKG & Garage house through the likes of DJ EZ and his Pure Garage CD series, as well as through forums and communities online such as Uptown and 2SG. He was immediately drawn to this genre and started incorporating it into his own sets, frequently buying records online through Discogs, eBay, or just digging through record shops for hours on end.

Frankie Magic has played on some of the most respected radio stations in the UK, including Desire, Divine Radio, d3ep, and Deja Vu. He has also performed at various venues and events, and has gained a reputation for playing lesser-known tracks which went under the radar all those years ago.

Fast forward to the present day and Frankie still continues to dig out and play those hidden gems, but at the same time incorporates newer tracks from upcoming artists. This mix is exactly that - a healthy mix of UK Garage from the past and present. Sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy!

DJ’ing started for me when I got my first turntables at the age of 14 in exchange for a Playstation. After being heavily influenced by cd's that my mum used to bring home which included Tuff Jam(Karl Tuff Enough Brown & Matt Jam Lamont, masters of the UK house & Garage scene)and Speed Garage Anthems cd’s I figured that this was a hobby I would show a great passion for. At the age of 19 I started to get involved with the Birmingham club scene and eventually obtained bookings at Hidden, Moon Lounge and Subway City to name a few. I also had chance to play on the pirate radio station I listened to when growing up, Silk City FM. A goal which always stuck in the back of my mind. After a good three years of spinning at clubs around Birmingham, the scene started to die down a little. It was then that I decided there wasn't much out there in terms of dance music with the boom of electro and fidget house taking over. 

After a three year break from being involved with the club scene I decided it was time to pull out the headphones again and get back on board. Playing a style consisting of US/UK House & Garage and Deep House I managed to build up my confidence again by securing residencies at 2:31, Bushwackers and FACE, all very successful parties in Birmingham. I carried on dj’ing in clubs until my early 30’s until I decided enough was enough. Nowadays I’m just a very avid lover and collector of different styles of house and garage and sometimes when I get time I love to whack a mix together for people to enjoy 😁 My passion for house and garage music will always be strong.

GARAGE EVOLUTION 005 DJ SUPERIOR (PIRATE CUTZ)

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!
