Law - Biography Of LTJ Bukem Mix

DJ Crystl has to be one of my top 5 producers in jungle / D&B ever.
Not many could produce to his standards, combining both dark and light euphoric atmospheres with incredible percussion and massive bass.

Law - All DJ Crystl Mix

I was recently reminded by my old pal Olly that once upon a time, I made him a 'Foul Play versus Omni Trio' mixtape. I had little recollection of this initially, as it was donkeys' years ago and would probably have been a one-off mix recorded while herbally ameliorated. I certainly don't recall running off a dub for myself; the original cassette, it seems, is long-lost. Forward a quarter of a century, and in my Selectabwoy 'career revival' (lol) I've never been particularly inclined towards making all-artist mixes, but something about this concept - and Olly's enthusiastic memories of it - grabbed my imagination. So I thought why not give it another shot; this time armed with a wider collection and a few additional releases under pseudonyms. 
Olly - this is for you, enjoy mate <3

Side A - mostly 92-93 hardcore vibes

Foul Play - Open Your Mind (Foul Play Remix)

Foul Play Vs. Omni Trio Mixtape (Side A)

Rinse FM Podcast

Rupture with Mantra & Decibella - 13 February 2023

From 1994-1997 Fabio hosted a seminal radio show on Kiss FM. He would alternate each show with Grooverider and it was the first time jungle was played on legal radio. It was essential listening for music that wouldn't normally get played out, or even heard again! These shows were a window into another world and fresh 90-minute TDKs on hot standby was standard procedure. 

For the second hour of the show, Fabio would announce "The Jazzstep coming up next...", and after a few months it became "The Legendary Jazzstep..." - this was big!

The music was jazz-influenced and driven by funk breaks, which tended to be quite loose with the patterns. It was a golden era before things got stripped back to more surgical timings seen with liquid, it also made the sound feel more organic and musical.

This mix attempts to recreate the feeling of these shows with dreamy sax, epic keyboard solos, cool double bass and the funkiest of breakbeat grooves. Featuring music from Carlito, Subject 13, Hidden Agenda, Primary Motive and early Creative Source - some of the finest drum and bass ever made.

It was recorded from a mixture of both vinyl and digital, and it wouldn't be right for the Jazzstep show if there wasn't a couple of dubplates in there as well: a very jazzy something forthcoming on Make or Break from Deeptropix, and an unreleased collab track from Sekl @sekldnb and Rough Territory @Rough-Territory

Even during the peak era of the jungle, this music was considered quite a niche sound, but Fabio was a pioneer with a true passion and love for the music. Big respects to Fabio for doing his own thing and giving the music a platform for all to appreciate.
