Presenting Volume 5 of the Technicality Sessions: Tim Reaper.

@Tim-Reaper first fell in love with drum ‘n’ bass after discovering @AndyC_ram ’s @Mixmag-1 cover CD as a teenager. Countless hours followed, spent devouring jungle’s deep history – and later attending infamous club nights like @Rupture and our own Technicality. 

Since 2010, he’s earned a reputation within the 160+ realms for carving old-school energy into undoubtedly forward-thinking productions. His music has been reaching ears across the underground spectrum, in part thanks to the release of the 'Cityscapes' four-tracker (@Lobster-Theremin) and a collaborative EP with Special Request on @iamsherelle and @NAINA_ldn ’s @Hooversound Recordings. Followers of his will also be familiar with his releases on Globex Corp (co-run by @Dwarde) over the years. 

Also a DJ and radio host, as well as the owner of record label Future Retro, this mix combines Reaper’s numerous talents harnessing the frenetic energy of classic sets whilst paving the way for a new generation of artists. 
 
Expect organized, intoxicating chaos.

A quickly and roughly 'enhanced' version of the Ed Rush & Trace (No U Turn) One In The Jungle mix, from 1997.

The original file was downloaded from Trace's Soundcloud page.  From the dips/spikes in EQ and panning it sounded like it was a recording taken from a pretty old and worn out cassette, so I've just brightened the top end, tamed some lower mid and tried to centre things a bit when it drifted off to the left or right speaker. I'm not really good at EQ to be honest, but you can hear the cymbals/hats/top end detail a bit more clearly and generally the mix stays in the middle a bit more.

NUT or STFU :-)

A short Q&A with Bailey:
Can you remember playing this set at all?
This was one of those nights when everything fell into place. Metalheadz Sessions at Blue Note were always above average but these kind of nights- where every element gelled perfectly. in terms of vibes and living life, these were the ones that people waited for. 

What were your most memorable moments from The Blue Note?
Spotting a famous face you didn't expect to see there was a great thing. It made me feel proud of the elements that made the burgeoning Drum & Bass sound work so well. It was about more than the experimental beats the DJs played. It was also about the phatness of the Eskimo Noise sound system, the freestyle energy the clubbers brought to the dance floor and the MCs who felt free to host in a nontraditional way. The unity of those elements that had not been witnessed before.

Can you give us top 5 tunes from The Blue Note?
Phaze 1 & S.O.S. - Space Funk (Timeless)
DJ Trace - Mutant Revisited (Emotif)
Doc Scott - The Unofficial Ghost (Metalheadz)
Adam F - Metropolis (Metalheadz)
Dillinja - Deadly Deep Subs Remix (Razors Edge)

Dead Man's Chest @ Rye Wax_AUG2017_Promo Mix

Oh gosh... sounds of the Fabio & LTJ...  Taking it way back to 4th June 1994 with a classic selection of oldskool DnB & atmospheric jungle. This one goes out to all the original ravers n' jungalists, hold tight we're about to go deep, deep down in to the jungle... Not the best sound quality, I ran a filter over it to clean it up as best I could. Find more sets like this in my "Oldskool..." playlist, or my "LTJ..." playlist.

As always, maximum respect to the artists, producers n engineers that made these tracks.

- 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."

Happy Birthday Kemistry 
After hours searching through tapes , trust me , I found a tape saying Kemistry Tribute Shouts / Fabio & Groovrider Radio 1.
It was not the whole show but have managed to piece it together so here it is with a set from Kiss FM of Kemistry & Storm.
Enjoy
