So I was going through my itunes and discovered this really old mix I did probably 19-20 years ago. For whatever reason I aborted it and never let anyone listen to it- till now. I was pretty hard on myself then if a tape did not flow just right, or one or two mixes seemed off. I'm definitely a mix and blend type DJ. It's all about the mix- making two tunes one for me. Sorry for the quality, this was back in the day when we recorded direct into those mini stereo units with dual tape decks.

Dark Energy 93-94?

Well this is my first jungle mix in over 14 years, to give you and idea of how long ago that was I think we had just started using mini discs & recording direct into the computer then. Truth told I've never done a drum n bass/jungle mix on anything other than a cassette tape, last one was 2001. That's how long it's been lol.

So this mix evolved strangely. The first three tracks (DJ Biggs/ SOHK) was a mix I remembered opening up with in a hall at my g/f's college at the time (around 2000?). She arranged some sort of rave and these kids had never heard jungle so …I remember seeing people rush out to the dancefloor and Sean (Goldenchild) MC'd for me that night and he was brocking out  so I guess I was doing my job. Always remembered those 3 tracks going well together. Hunter seems like and obvious opening track but strangely other than AWOL I never really have heard it out or on old mixes. I just heard it once on a pirate tape. Then it started out as me wanting to throw as many hoover/reese basslines as I could into one mix. I then realized that would get boring as it takes the power of that b-line away when overused. It then became just some tunes from 94-95 I really wanted all together in one place. You know how you seek out certain tunes on mixes? I just wanted them all in one place. Knowing I'd have to do this this myself if I ever was going to get them all together I was pretty nervous. I'm super super critical of my own mixing. So much so that I almost freeze myself from starting things. I only know how to mix using vinyl (so you will never hear anything but a vinyl mix from me), and I remembered back in the day it was pretty much one take- press record on the stereo and hope nothing goes wrong. These days Audacity makes it easier. I like that I now can pause and take a break from a long mix if I'm tired, hungry, or just not feeling it. I'm a mix and blend DJ so I love long mixes.. I had a hell of a time with the EQ record (as it's warped) and Trace's Babylon 2nd Remix has always given me fits with that long intro- but other than that I'm satisfied.

Anyhow here's the tracklisting. This mix is pretty rugged and raw. Don't get me wrong I like all drum n bass/jungle styles BUT I just wanted a mix of tunes that get me pumped up. This style is actually the closest to how I played out. I don't like to let up on people on a dancefloor- high energy- PURE vibes!

Strangely I still own that outfit (I mean really does a Fred Perry track jacket ever go out of style?) and tried it on the other night. I look exactly the same 13 years later... Must be the all the *ahem* preservatives in my body from back in the day

This is a so-so mix I did one weekend back in April that I was planning on re-doing but never got around to it. Never start a mix without peeing and turning off your phone first! The entire time I had to piss so bad (too much beer) lol. Basically there are a few bad mixes which I don't like (then again I'm my own worst critic), but please feel free to let me know how awful it is so I redo the damn thing. I guess I'll make it downloadable- I just don't like having inferior mixes out there in cyberspace.

Oldskool 94-96 Intelligent Mix April 2016

So I'm going through a horrible breakup with my girlfriend of 10 years and one of the bad domino effects is my records and turntables must go into temporary storage. I decided to do one last quick mix with tunes I've been wanting to mix. Hopefully I'll land on my feet and be able to mix again soon. I kept thinking of one of my favorite movies 'Cool Hand Luke' as I'm going through a ton of mental and verbal abuse from her, hence the line from the movie where the warden says: "Get Your Mind Right!" Yes I nicked Hype's Dub War Remix to The R but I've always wanted to do that mix lol. Tracklisting:

Odyssey 1996

I'm the original DJ Lixx, not the eastern european DJ (who happens to also spin drum n bass). Stopped DJ'ing around 2003 after about 10 years- but I'm slowly getting back into it (as of 2014 when I'm writing this). Hopefully will have some new mixes up this year! I'll sort it eventually I promise, I'm not going to let all these records just collect dust.
