Peoples Station #73 - 11/10/2025 - Vali NME Click

I've wanted to make this mix for almost 30 years; the tunes just didn't exist for it back then. Danny Breaks' "The Bear" blew my mind with its dark, electric jazz funk that fused Miles Davis with early Wu-Tang RZA. But in '96, it was sui generis, so it sat in my crate awaiting partners in crime.

In years since, I've tracked down other tunes with similar nocturnal menace. This isn't nostalgic "jazzy jungle" of keyboard presets and video games; it's shadows and criminals and blood-stained suits.

Some of the most exciting music in this vein is San's work for Rua Sound. The EPs are the closest thing I've heard to late '90s Source Direct, after they tipped headlong into darkness. SD-associated Odysee Recordings also carries on this spirit. Ornette Hawkins, with two tracks here, is the jazziest junglist out there; fellow AGN7 Audio artist Dacamera isn't far behind.

Fanu's criminally underrated collaboration with Bill Laswell gets one track here, but the whole album is worth hearing, full-on electric Miles worship. Speaking of which, the one tease here comes not from dnb, but from techno, Oliver Ho's mystical, millennial Miles invocation. Finally, the incomparable Sci-Clone presents two flip sides here - no anthems, just back alley vibes.

Track list is below. Enjoy!

Noir jazz jungle mix, vol. 1

https://straightupbreakbeat.bandcamp.com/album/solaris-ep-subbep04

With previous outings on Counter Intelligence, and Fanu's Lightless Recordings among others, DAK makes a welcome return with four tracks exploring the limits of drum and bass. From the spaced-out percussion of the title track, via high tech jazz fusion sounds all the way to the minimalism of 'Viimeiset Skunkit', DAK brings a highly unique style to the modern day drum & bass masses.
