The 500th Aftershock Show recorded LIVE on 26th March for www.afterdarkradio.org. We made a night of it, with support from Mafs, Remedee, Asperatus Ninelives, Peso The Medic and Axon Gap. My mix was a whistle-stop tour through some of the show favourites from over the past 11 years. Jungle and drum & bass bangers, often with a little hardcore twist - that's how we roll!

A celebration of some of my favourite 90s drum & bass LPs, featuring the timeless V Classic compilation on V Recordings, the screwface classic Torque on No-U-Turn, the cinematic Prototype Years from Grooverider's label and the peerless Wormhole from Ed Rush & Optical on Virus.

The second part of my celebration of late 90s D&B albums. This time it's T Power's overlooked classic The Self Evident Truth of An Intuitive Mind, the influential Tech Steppin' compilation on SOUR, the brilliant Speed of Sound compilation on Ram Records and the peerless Planet V on V Recordings.

Enjoy!

Aftershock Show 541 - 20th May 2025

My first set of the 2025 ADR Weekender, keeping things rolling with some classic D&B sounds.

ADR Weekender - Saturday 5pm

A slightly unexpected stand-in due to some last-minute technical problems, so I reached for some recent jungle and hardcore sounds. Lively and scrappy, but lots of fun!

ADR Weekender - Saturday 8pm

Heading into the second day of the 2025 ADR Weekender, I thought it would be fun to revisit an old alias from 1992/3 and pull out some of the harder, techno-inflected hardcore sounds that I used to play... DJ Fuzz rides again!

The sound is a bit scratchy at points and there is some skipping - my needles needed replacing! Also, some of this music is scratchy-by-nature!

Tracklist:

Force Mass Motion - Explosion
Force Mass Motion - Esthisis
Kaotic Chemistry - Drum Trip II
JDS - Classified (A-Side)
Tic Tac Toe - Ephemerol
Electronic Experienced - No 303

X-Men - Return of A Simple Song
Dave Charlesworth - Energizer 2 (B-Side)
The Sorcerer - The Elevator (Up & Down Mix)

ADR Weekender - Sunday 5pm - DJ Fuzz

A good old-fashioned roll-out of rugged Bristol D&B for about the first 90 minutes, then expanding out into some more modern wobbly D&B.

Solaris - City Lights

Krust - The Last Day
