Metalheadz Blue Note Sessions

(Before I start on the main event, it's exactly six years to the day that I got up at 5am to assemble the first Eclectic (Jungle) Samples mix on my phone. Oddly, I was reminded of this while blearily looking at my phone after the neighbours' screaming effing kids woke me up at 5am. Anyway, 25/11/2016 was a Friday too so this feels like a special occasion to me, and I want to send a great big shout to my pal Olly for listening through the mix with me all those years ago. If you've not heard it then I'm going to be bold and suggest that you might like to, and if you have then why not revisit? 
Do it for me ;)

----------------------------------------------------
It's a Champion Ting. This is the first in a quadrilogy of mixes that follow on chronologically from the Summer of '94 series. There's been a heavy emphasis on summertime jungle with both those, the Summer of '95, and Back to Brighton St. mixes - a tribute to the Xmas '94 period is way overdue, and here it begins. 
Ruffneck Ting's 'Champion Ting' event* at Bristol Trinity Centre, 10/12/1994, was the first real jungle night I went to; that, and their subsequent 'Tequila Ting' event* at Lakota in Jan '95 really left their mark on me. I mean, "Selektor Bwoy". Man, it's impossible to put into words what the vibe was like then - jungle was just, SO jungle hehe - so I've assembled four mixes to do the talking. Every tune here sparks memories like it was yesterday. Massive shout again to the @ruffneck-ting crew and to everyone that made these nights so awesome. Big love <3

Devnull - Top Buzz Tribute (BTTO Radio February March 13th 2023 Pt 2 )

First uploads of 2023, so let’s make them good ones, right?

As pioneers of the UK breakbeat/jungle scene, I doubt Smiley & PJ need any introduction. This two-part mix compiles many of my favourites from their extensive back catalogue, including the seminal LP ‘Dance Before the Police Come’ in its entirety.

Part 1 focuses slightly more on their rap roots. Part 2 leans towards the breakbeat sound that saw the rave scene adopting them back in the early 90s.

Part 2 Tracklist:

Shut Up & Dance - Derek Went Mad
> Shut Up & Dance - The Art Of Moving Butts (Remix)
Shut Up & Dance - Genesis
Rum & Black - ESQ
Adé - Free The Soul (Club Version)
Shut Up & Dance - Lamborghini (Remix)

Rum & Black - Slaves
Nicolette - Single Minded People
Nicolette - Udi Egwu
Rum & Black - Zombies At Dawn
> The Ragga Twins - Hooligan 69 (Remix)
The Ragga Twins - Hooligan 69
Rum & Black - I'm Not In Love
Shut Up & Dance feat. Peter Bouncer - Raving I'm Raving
Shut Up & Dance - Death Is Not The End
> Shut Up & Dance - A Change Soon Come (Instrumental)
Shut Up & Dance - A Change Soon Come

Reinforced Records Enforcers Volumes 1 to 16 Mix

(oldskool hardcore > jungle > drum&bass)

- TwoHungryGhosts.com : 
"It is rare that we hear a mix that encapsulates everything we like about a DJ set but when we heard this one we knew we had to have it as a Guest Module for the blog.

DJINN has managed to capture the pirate radio style of DJ’ing that helped catapult the hardcore/jungle scene so rapidly back in the early nineties and also pinpoints why Reinforced was so pivitol in transforming the music and gave dnb the cutting edge and forward thinking approach we fell in love with.
Reinforced was a leader in modern fusion and production techniques and was one of the most important labels in UK dance music.

This mix illustrates why it was at the forefront of the drum and bass scene and features tracks from some of the genres most well respected names and pioneers."

Kola Nut Bio

Greg a.k.a. Kola Nut began playing computer games at a young age, mastering ‘Bubble Bobble’ and completing the Bitmap Brothers classic ‘Gods’, where the player is cast as Hercules in his quest to achieve immortality. He showed potential and his talent was obvious.

He was given a Megadrive by Santa Claus on the 25th December 1994. Playing games like 'Theme Park', 'Street Fighter 2', ‘Altered Beast’, ‘Cyborg Justice’, ‘Cool Spot’ and 'Fifa 95' he soon built his finger strength and hand eye co-ordination skills. Later in life 'Tekken 3' on the PS1 enhanced his ability even further learning all Yoshimitsu's moves and ten hit combos.

This dexterity and skill combined with his love for jungle music lead him neatly into the world of bedroom DJing in 2001.

He has since collaborated with scene honchos such as Law, Wheeler, Tim Reaper and more.

Along with having releases on Repertoire, R-Whites, Future Retro, Meditator, Context Audio, 7th Storey Projects, Silent Force and Sonic Force Recordings his other crowning achievements have been singing Christmas reggae at the Geneva Cyborg Convention, drawing a picture of a shopping centre and occassionally becoming MC Det.
