At the end of a long, hard winter - a new era awaits... 
Your nan’s just had her vaccine, the beer gardens will soon be full & England are definitely winning the Euros. 
Your summer deserves a soundtrack.
Welcome to the Republic of Donkunia. 
As part of a very special series, Mixed Messages is proud to present the legendary Donnay Soldier.
Fresh off the main stage and his debut EP on Acid Waxa, Donnay (aka Elton Don) brings his unique blend of inspired tunes and lyrical genius to the airwaves. 
Equally at home in the studio or on the mic, the Hampstead Heath native captures the emotion of life on the frontline, fighting for justice and his beloved Amber Leaf Yellow. 
So turn up the volume, get ready to laugh and get ready to cry... It’s Donnay Soldier!

Celestial Being - Missing You (2 - Step Mix)

It's been a minute since we had a BOOTY BOP SHOP. 

Here's a tribute to some of my favourite artists and music in the genres. I tried to create a Juke-oriented soundscape in order to act as a warm-up set for a harder, Footwork mix coming later from Fear & Self Loathing. 

Major shoutout to "Coffe and Cigerettes" for their incredible album "Dreams of Seperation" which got me hooked - RIP Spammkidd. 

And respect to the greats in Chicago - RIP Rashad. 

You'll be listening to this stuff on the radio soon - they're doing the most for the genre up in Illinois.

It’s been only a few months since I was last interviewing Sam AKA Missing. Our relationship came about via chance. Sam was working in a Bournemouth studio alongside Bernie AKA Mr. Time from Tearin Vinyl. I was already chatting to Bernie about re-releasing some of the Tearin back catalogue as Ellis Dee had introduced us. So when myself and Sam linked, I knew destiny was mapping out a new direction and a repress of Sam’s self-released 1994 banger ‘Missing - Volume One’ was needed on Vinyl Fanatiks. As things do, a natural progression continued, with conversations steering towards releasing some vinyl together. Sam already had the vehicle, Sub System Recordings, which he had released a digital only track on a few years previous. Perfect. Earlier this year we launched the vinyl arm of the label to huge success but more material was required and consequently a new story unfolded, one that Sam describes to me;

“Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the last Sub System releases which were a complete sell out” Sam Missing recounts. “That was at the start of lockdown and I am sure like many it’s been a surreal year but even with the clubs currently closed, the music must go on!  So here we are, launching the next three Sub System releases under the banner ‘Three From ‘93’.  Like most of our projects, these releases were formed through chance encounters and the very few degrees of separation that seem to exist in the jungle universe!  It wasn’t clear until the end of the project that we realised there was a very clear direction these releases had gravitated to, and that was the foundation year of 1993! Let me explain…” 

Demagrafiks - A new name for the scene but the people behind it are far from new, they both had an important role in the foundation of the jungle sound and the 2020 lockdown finally brought them together for the first time. Up steps M-Beat alongside Missing!  Sam explains how this collaboration came about.

 “Although we were both producing in the 90’s I had never met M-Beat before but of course it goes without saying that he was a huge inspiration for me back in the day! I was initially introduced to him last year by a mutual acquaintance, Steve, who used to work at Renk Records in the 90s golden era. Myself and M-Beat met up for lunch and it soon became apparent that we had similar perspectives on music past and present. ‘Soundman Riddim’ was our first collaboration, a contemporary jungle flavoured dnb roller but with nods to our roots.  It’s great to have had the opportunity to work with a true jungle legend even though lock down meant it was all over Zoom and Whatsapp! Demagrafiks is a name for this project and won’t necessarily be used again so this is a super rare and sure to be collector’s item for any M-Beat fan! We have also been working on some other projects together which we will be announcing in the future. For the flipside of our collab we wanted to showcase another rising star and somebody who was influenced by the 90s rave sound. Step up Yazzus on remix duties!  Part of the 6 Figure Gang who have been making huge waves in the scene, this was a very exciting remix and another opportunity to represent the 160 sound championed by Sherelle, another 6 Figure Gang member and others who are mashing up various styles of rave, jungle, footwork, juke and techno. Yazzus has taken the jungle roller original and twisted it into a hardcore rave monster with deep, bouncing kicks, jungle subs and killer rave stabs. This is one for the old hardcore heads and the new alike whether you were raving in ‘93 or drawing inspiration from it in the 2020’s” Sam concludes.
