Randall- Metalheadz Re-Mastered History Mix

Today, the online music portal of Mixmag magazine published an article commemorating some of the women who have shaped and contributed to the progression of electronic music. Taking into account the state of the underground and contemporary clubbing landscape we know today, amongst the various vanguards like Donna Summer and Heather Heart were Metalheadz co-founder and the second to none selector, DJ Storm. Renowned for her a pivotal part in the formation of a subculture fuelled by warehouse raves and momentous soundsystems and her close connoisseurs and fellow Metalheadz operators, Goldie and the late DJ Kemistry, the superbly progressive strain of drum & bass and the unadulterated territories that came with that time were critical in the ever evolving electronic movement. Even now, her role in the scene today is as imperative as ever, representing a label and a sound that’s still flourishing some 25 years later. 

A week on Friday Storm will once again link with her Metalheadz crew as the label takes hold of our Room One to toast the launch of label signee Mikal's debut album. To give us a snippet of what's in store the DJ aptly dubbed ‘the first lady of drum & bass’ has graciously taken the time to pull together another of her excercises in first class selections in this brand new and exclusive promo mix.

Metalheadz Podcast 53 - DJ Lee presents Unreleased Dubplate Selection Vol 2

For the 2nd set of the night we had Doc Scott taking it back to the 90's in front of a sold out crowd, this is the 2nd of the 3 recordings that we are uploading from this memorable mid-summer event. It was a special night in June of this year with 800+ people crammed into Xoyo's upstairs room (from pretty much before the very first needle was placed on the record until going past the nights extended close). Again a big thanks to Benji B for inviting us down to take over the room.

so bad so deep so strong... LTJ live n direct @ Fabric Christmas eve 2005. As we approach the 10 year anniversary of the 10 year anniversary it seems fitting to upload this set. The first track is copied from later in the set (67m) so you get it twice - one of the best ever made - so deep n beautiful it brings tears to my eyes (serious flashbacks). Sadly the sound quality is poor - the MCs are too loud, the music too quite and too many rewinds for my liking, don't get me started... anyway great vibes and massive tracks.

If anyone has that first track in a good set please let me know, I've not heard it anywhere else. The original was special, the remix is beyond words, big up Omni Trio. 

If you're new to Bukem I seriously suggest you check out Progression Sessions 01, the best Bukem & Conrad mix set around. Big up the Good Looking crew for keepin it real since the early 90's.

Taking it back to 94-95, this set includes every massive track from back in the day bringing the memories flooding back - can you handle the Randall.... selection too dark... actually it's not that dark, more atmospheric and jump-up jungle flavors.

This is from the 'Studio Collection Limited Edition' four tape pack (Grooverider, Fabio, Jumping Jack Frost & Randall), I think it's from 1995. Find more sets like this in my "oldskool..." playlist. 

As always, all props to the artists, producers n engineers that made these tracks. I don't have a track listing for this set, I'll update it when I get some more time.

The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of drum and bass. The stable is currently home to Goldie, Lenzman, Jubei, Commix, Ulterior Motive, Artificial Intelligence, Dom & Roland, OneMind, Mikal, Blocks & Escher and SCAR.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.
