Oldskool Mixtapes

Nottingham, UK producer Dramatic makes his debut release on Smooth N Groove Records with two stunning liquid drum & bass jams!

Known for his signature blend of funk and jazz-infused grooves, Dramatic delivers in full force across both killer cuts. Each track stands out but trust us, the Cirqus Voltaire single is an essential addition to your collection.

Both tracks have received support from some of the scenes heavy hitters, including regular endorsement from scene legend LTJ Bukem. From start to finish, Dramatic brings nothing but pure vibes!
Out now and exclusively available from the Smooth N Groove Bandcamp. Locked and ready to drop across all online stores August 14th.

Dramatic - Rest Again (OUT NOW)

‣ Available here: bfan.link/30years-part2

Next up in the 30 Years of Metalheadz lathe cut series - two iconic tracks perfectly complimented by each other. 
 
First up is 'The Alpha Kemistry' - seeing the light of day for the very first time. Originally created by Goldie as a loop for Diane Charlemagne to sing over, this piece has sat quietly in the archives, untouched and unheard. It's a crucial fragment of our history and a key moment in Goldie's journey, now finally available in full form.
 
On the flip, we're bringing you a long-requested heavyweight: Benny L's 2018 remix of Alex Reece's legendary 'Pulp Fiction'. The original changed the game back in 1995, stripping things back and introducing a groove that would become foundational in drum & bass. Benny's remix takes that DNA and amplifies it for today's sound systems - a staple in Goldie's sets and a fitting tribute to one of the genre's most influential tracks.

Ready To Roll Presents: Flexout Audio - Drumslave (ft. MC Fokus) Promo Mix

Boutique label 'The North Quarter’ showcases the soulful and deeper side of Drum & Bass in their monthly session on https://echobox.radio/

The North Quarter #49 w/ Echo Brown, Styke & Vanity Roxane // Echobox Radio 23/10/25

Well here it is, this mix has been a very long time in gestation, around twenty years to be precise! Finally I have had the time to start collating what I hope to be a series of mixes celebrating why I love this music quite as much as I do! 

Using only the original vinyl to give them all the real ‘feel’ of the early nineties DJ tapes (no cheating on Ableton, nasty mp3's or additional production here folks!) so it's just like back in the day (but no tape hiss or crappy MC's!)

If you like the mix or a particular track brings back some memories, please share a thought in the comments box.

1. Manix – Special Dope Mix Part II
2. Rush Till Dawn - Come On Lets Have Some Fun
3. Dragonfly - Visions of Rage
4. Egma - Let the Bass Kick
5. Bizzare Inc - Raise Me (Eon's Ascension Mix)
6. Cyberfunk - Live From The Wunderbar
7. After Dark - Cardiac
8. Wax Factor - Cause
9. X-Static - Free
10. Altern 8 - Frequency
11. Cold Sensation - Control the Universe
12. Skin Up - Blockbuster
13. After Dark - Atlantis
14. Manix - Feel Real Good Remix
15. Tronik House - Mental Techno

Part 2 of my trip back to 1991…….

Another monster selection of the cuts that blew me away back in the day, and as ever, I only use the original vinyl to give the mixes the real ‘feel’ of the early nineties DJ tapes (no cheating on Ableton, nasty mp3's or additional production here folks!) so it's just like back in the day (but without the tape hiss or crappy MC's!)

If you like the mix or a particular track brings back some memories, please share a thought in the comments box.

In October 1990 Coventry made dance music history...

That first Saturday night/Sunday morning experience was put on at the former Granada Bingo Hall in Lower Ford Street,Coventry,England.

The bingo hall had now been transformed into a 4 floored nightclub, and was also voted the best nightclub in the country in 1991 by fellow ravers through DJ Magazine. With a chill out space including a cinema on the ground floor, a second floor room enough to hold 500 people, and the main room on the top floor holding over a 1000 people including the balcony.

Every Friday and Saturday night would be filled by clubber's and raver's from all over Britain..

Act's such as :The Prodigy, K Klass, SL2, Altern 8, Moby, Shades of Rhythm and LFO all passed through it's door's with live p.a. set's.

Top dj's such as, The great grooverider,carl cox,sasha,frankie bones,Micky finn,top buzz etc,all graced the decks on a reguar basis,and two hour set's were the norm.

February 94,the club was closed.

At the time of closing more than one million people had passed through its doors and it had a standing membership of 74,000. .

Gone ..but never forgotten..here is my 1st tribute mix...please don't download and run,please share your thought's with us all,enjoy!
