The Official DNB Show Hosted By Madcap / Mi-Soul Radio / 08-03-24 (No ADS)

Studio mix from Rikochet.

DJ Rikochet JMA, Jungle Massive Australia.
1st generation Australian. Born 1971. Dutch Mother / English Father (which has influenced his music between UK breakbeat and Euro hardcore)
Rikochet began his DJing career at age 20 in the fresh and very underground 1991 Rave era. At the time, he was in the Australian Navy, which is how his earlier Dj pseudonym Popeye was created. Popeye’s first set launched at the legendary O’Mallys Hotel, Sunday recovery parties in Brougham St, Kings Cross, Sydney. Playing all styles of dance music from House, Trance, Rave, Hardcore, Breakbeat and Jungle. He became part of Sydney’s Rave and Breakbeat culture. DJing at various venues all around Sydney’s Clubs, Pubs and Warehouses, he become well known for his piano breakbeat and driving bass line style morning sets. With the release of the very popular, Junglistic Rowdiness and N4CER tape series in 94/94, Popeye’s sound was in demand.

During his early Rave career, Popeye played alongside Carl Cox, Slipmatt and many great Australian DJ’s. As a DJ competition panel judge, he also played numerous radio shows and was a columnist on the topic of Breakbeat and Jungle in the 90’s Rave journal, Juicy Red Apple & UK’s "Knowledge" magazine.

As a JMA founding member, Popeye was instrumental in championing the new cutting-edge sound of Jungle / Drum n Bass to Sydney through his various (and highly collectible) mix tapes. After the release of the JMA tapes (Vol 1. Jungle Massive Australia) in 1995, and a booking at Sydney’s Big Day Out festival (1997), Popeye changed names to Rikochet, and became the first Australian DJ to play Triple JJJ’s Mixup national radio 3 times, lagging only Carl Cox.
Since then, Rikochet has played alongside some of the most influential DJ’s and producers of the D&B community, such as Moving Shadow’s Rob Playford, Grooverider, Ratty, DJ SS, Kenny Ken, Dr S. Gachet, Chemistry & Storm, Klute and DJ Rap with MC Fearless to name a few.

After moving to Santa Barbara in 2015, Rikochet has played numerous gigs in LA, including multiple collabs with the 13 Crows Radio crew , DJ Binz & Jonny 5 and more recently with the local SB Jungle cats
33 years on, Rikochet now lives in California where he spends his free time balancing between a passion for Drum & Bass, Breaks & loads of old skool Jungle Techno, with a vinyl collection to die for.

BEEN THINKING EP
01 Been Thinking
02 Obscure Sorrows
03 Just Breathe
04 Resilience (Everybody)

💬 J Plates returns via his own imprint with the aptly titled Been Thinking EP, featuring 4 stellar tracks firmly rooted in the Atmospheric Jungle landscape of decades past while being brought up to speed with a more modern sensibility. Now permanently based in the UK, it's clear J Plates has been busy, tucked away crafting his sound and developing a brand new batch of material over the past couple of years.

Title track Been Thinking introduces the EP with a luscious intro; mystical bell like tones float alongside a flurry of choppy breakbeats and deep sub bass. The track invites the listener to search inwards while gazing out towards future horizons. Sombre cut Obscure Sorrows follows next, with it's minimal melodic elements, shuffled breaks & haunting vocal licks. Melancholy washes throughout the soundscape, creating a strong sense of contemplation and unease.

Rounding off the second instalment, Just Breathe steps in with it's rolling bass line, skippy breakbeats and an assortment of arpeggiated synths & filtered pads to compliment the sentimental vocal hook; exposing an inner struggle since conquered. Closing track Resilience (Everybody) provides the final balance for the release with it's strong melodic hook, poetic strings, and uplifting vocal refrain offering hope through adversity.

J Plates has released material on Silent Force Recordings, In-Reach Records, Omni Music, Skalator Music and many more. 

Keep an eye out for more forthcoming J Plates material in 2024.

Mafs - After Dark Radio 018 Sunday 2nd June 2024

Recorded live at Wire's last-ever DNB party, this set is pretty special to me. As a home for the best underground music in Leeds, this little basement has been the epicentre of Leeds' drum and bass history. Host to D.O.P.E in the club's earlier guise as Cafe Mex during the late 90s, it even broadcast legendary sets live on Radio 1's 1 in the Jungle show. It was the birthplace of Ant TC1's legendary Momentum sessions during its time as Think Tank, before undergoing its makeover into Wire where it welcomed Central Beatz, Radio Frequency, Overflow and many many more well-loved parties during the early days of dubstep, via UK Funky, Bass music and the incredible Hessle Audio and Rufige shows - with too many names and nights to mention, Wire will always be an unforgettable space. 

I had the great privilege of opening the night, with an hour-long set celebrating Momentum, where I formed lifelong friendships and built my career from having fun with like-minded people dancing to great music. 

I selected some of my fave soulful dnb tunes from the period, with special mention and solid inspiration from 3rd Generation Digital and MC JC, who would always open proceedings with showcases of the burgeoning golden era of liquid drum and Bass

Presenting an hour of massive tunes that I wouldn't usually combine, mixed with wide-eyed enthusiasm and love, interrupted by so many old faces invading the booth to say hi and share their excitement, that you might have to excuse the odd mix left in too long or cut out too quickly. It was such an emotional evening, as you might be able to pick up from the crowd noise still present on the mic. With a dancefloor full of proper heads, ready to go from early and even an unexpected reload before 11pm! Big shouts to my sparring partner LD for hosting and everyone who came down early to make it the night it was. 

A huge thanks to everyone who ever worked in, partied at, promoted a night or simply lost themselves to the music at our favourite space, Wire.

GOT 2 HAVE U EP
01 Got 2 Have U
02 Revelations
03 Need Me
04 All This…

💬 J Plates continues to deliver with latest instalment Got 2 Have U EP, featuring a throwback 2000's sound packed with characterful attitude; perfect for a dance floor shake down or inner city stroll. Shifting away from the earlier Atmospheric Jungle sounds that the UK based producer has been so fond of, J Plates latest offering takes influence from an era where funk & breakbeats were emphasised with it's steppy breaks, crunchy overtones and persistent bass lines providing the soundtrack for those longer summer months, while still raw enough to align with that old school brashness of decades past.

Title track Got 2 Have U sets an immediate tone for the release with it's brooding pads, euphoric vocal licks and layered stepper breaks keeping the feet & mind moving; while  Revelations follows up with it's darker response of fizzy pads, arpeggiated synth & upfront drums rolling throughout the stripped back arrangement to close off the first half of the EP.

Taking things down a notch, Need Me presents a lighter approach with it's Jazz tinged melodic elements, shuffled breaks and notey sub bass oozing with a more laid back groove. Closing out the release enters final track All This.. with it's uplifting vibe, playful synth & vocal chops and alongside a recognisable gliding bass line sure to heat things up; overall offering a refreshing batch of material dripping with a rich musicality & solid sonic aesthetic.

J Plates has released material on Silent Force Recordings, In-Reach Records, Omni Music, Skalator Music and many more. 
Keep an eye out for more forthcoming J Plates material in 2024.

GATE TO MARS EP
01 Gate To Mars
02 Deception
03 Fill The Blanks
04 Change Your Mind

💬 Enforcing a firm stand with his latest offering Gate To Mars EP, J Plates returns with a barrage of new material sure to please fans of the more darker spectrums within Drum & Bass/Jungle. Loaded to the brim with a serious arsenal of dance floor destroyers, it's clear J Plates has been fostering a fond enthusiasm for more hard edged tracks without compromising on nostalgic quality or leaning unnecessary on latest trends.

Title track Gate To Mars launches in head first with it's militantly chopped up amen break & sinister technical elements, while switching things up with a deadly counter of sub bass & an apt vocal dialogue establishing a forward momentum. Meanwhile, Deception slides in next full of smoothly crafted funk & underlying mystery, with it's multiple reese lines, subterranean bass line & bubbling arpeggiated synth run to counteract the brooding narrative.

Fill The Blanks strikes next, with it's hard nosed break, plucked melodic stabs, and twisting counter of techy synth/bass lines & heavenly vocal lashings in order to ramp up the pace with persistent urgency. Anthemic final track Change Your Mind rounds off the release with it's triumphantly catchy vocal refrain, gritty break, squelching synth tweaks and growling bass line converging together in an assault of sonic severity best served dark and loud.

J Plates has released material on Silent Force Recordings, In-Reach Records, Omni Music, Skalator Music and many more. Keep an eye out for more forthcoming J Plates material in 2024.
