Francois Kevorkian gives this all time Indie classic an amazing transformation...

The Smiths - This Charming Man [Francois Kevorkian Mix]

There was dark, then there was Source Direct...ripping up the rulebook with this tear up of the old Rufige Kru classic.

Source Direct - Dark Metal

Iconic drum n bass track which married Angel and Sinister.

Goldie - Saint Angel

Ed Rush - Subway

Source Direct - Exit 9

Dark, minimal, atmospheric - all good ingredients for any Source Direct track.

Source Direct - Black Domina

When it came to melodies and soul - Lemon D was untouchable in the DnB scene.

Lemon D - Going Gets Tuff

You all remember where you where when this first dropped...

Jonny L - Piper

Minimal with a capital M...Stripped bare. 

Special Forces - The Bleeps Tune

One of the early classics taken from Good Looking Records 007

Parallel World - Contagious

Flip side to the all time classic 'Music'. Amazing track in its own right...

LTJ Bukem - Enchanted

My first real musical love has stuck with me throughout my years, Hip-Hop. A genre of sound like no other which ripped up the copybook on creating a musical track and started the whole process all over again. The producers, DJs and MCs have such a broad spectrum of influences in their music which they never shy away from - whether it's jazz, funk, soul, blues, politics or history - every story is told through the sounds and lyrics. The whole concept of sampling another artist's track was so alien to modern day music that it caused an uproar.
 
Perhaps, hip-hop was at its best when it was causing an uproar - whether it was musically or socially - or both.
 
I've tried my very best to recreate that mix-tape feel, varying classic tracks with newer sounds and throwing in loads of skits which were often the bedrock of the early hip-hop artists' albums. 
 
I really hope you enjoy this selection half as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
