0860.fm MIX #1 - Bryan Gee on Kool FM 1998

Very excited to present the next guest in the series - The unstoppable DJ Mantra. At this point she needs little introduction but if you don’t know she - along with partner Double O - is responsible for what has become London’s premier Jungle night - Rupture. They’re actually just about to celebrate their 16th year running. It’s a grass roots event and community and this extends to her work with EQ50 - a collective of women working towards fairer representation within drum and bass.

A real pleasure to talk to and we discuss how she was introduced to Pirate Radio by over-hearing her older brother listening to stations in his bedroom and how she started off her fascination with it all as a garage raver. She’s just someone who is so in touch with grass roots and the building of communities - and these are topics that come up time and time again in this chat.

0860.fm INTERVIEW #8 - MANTRA

Youngsta and Crazy D came down to the Subtle studios to give you a taster of what to expect at FWD in April. 

One of the UK’s most influential exponents of bass music returns with a triumphant celebration of 21st-century club sounds. From their humble North London origins as champions of dark garage, grime and early dubstep, to their position as the birthplace of a genre and the capital’s leading forward-thinking party, FWD>>’s chapter in the history books of the UK’s underground culture has been assured. 

The Hydra: FWD>> sees the original home of London bass music present a lineup that encapsulates the avant-garde sound of the time whilst representing a new generation of low-end theorists including Skream + SGT Pokes, Ben UFO, Flava D, Coki, Anz, LCY and many more.

DSM Promo 'The Only Known is the Unknown'..
https://shop.blueskinbadger.co.uk/collections/blueskinbadger-records

DSM Promo's aim is to provide a platform for multiple artists on one EP, with a focus on letting the music speak for itself rather than emphasising the individual reputations of the artists involved. This approach aims to give exposure to both established and emerging artists without overshadowing their work with preconceived notions.

The label will primarily focus on Jungle, Drum & Bass, Breakbeat & Hardcore, providing a niche space for artists within these styles to showcase their talent.

DSM Promo adopts a music-first approach, prioritising the music over the background or previous accomplishments of the artists. This allows for a level playing field where artists can experiment freely with new sounds and styles.

By keeping the artists unknown, DSM Promo creates an environment where all artists, regardless of their level of recognition, can coexist and explore new creative avenues without any biases or expectations.

The Undadog Positive Vibes Show 14th October 2024

Solaris returns to Parallax new-born sublabel PARADUBS with a limited lathe cut to give a little preview on what´s on the horizon for Parallax. Aurora flips a classic vocalhook into a summery rolling Amen tune, a tasty light tune that let´s you forget about those turublent times. The flip 'New Moon' is on a darker tip and lightens up 2/3rds into the tune with melancholic pads. Available in limited quantities on the Runout, be quick!

Mastered by Beau Thomas@ Ten Eight Seven Mastering, cut by DJ Perception@ Moodswing

JUNGLE FEVER 3SUM
ALternative Mixdowns
Pt 1
original songs by Skender Makota

A part of a three song themed ambient/jungle/drumnbass saga.

Please start with Part 1, listen through Part 2 and end here with Part 3.

BONUS tracks are:
- Part 1 with Alternative Mix
- Part 2 (Oasys) with Alternative Mix
I guess they should be "2Sum", but then again, why2Sum when they could be.. 5SUM?
Naah, forget it. Next time...

I've always been into good drumbie or jungle, house music is where I live, but I like to travel outside as well, visit the neighbors so to speak, and make some drumnbass, ambient, techno or whatever.

This versatility is one major bonus electronic music production allows us to do, and in my opinion one of the major reasons why I love making and living in the sounds of good electronic music in my productions.

While I also fully enjoy jazz music and playing jazz piano, transcribing tracks by Bill Evans, Munk, Parker, Corea and many other legends, my mindset is in the study and mind expanding mode, as jazz theory in my opinion is one of the most interesting enigmas for a musician to get into "resolving", as it is really a gift that keeps on giving...

But once I get my Moogs up and running, those lights and leds start turning on in my head as well, and I switch to pure enjoyment of making more electronic music, often incorporating what I learned while jazz studying, I guess ;)

You could say that I see ALL music as one big family, which often gets into quarrels with each other, but are always there for each other when, and if the shit hits da fan.

As one of my great teachers at Berklee in Boston '99 said: "It's just Music, maan".

More jungle coming up, stay tuned!   

Jungle Fever pt1 Alt Mix - Skender Makota daBALKANIMAL

Not many developments to speak of since my last mix. The president of Brazil,
Jair Bolsonaro still claims the Amazon `remains pristine and virtually untouched.` This is completely untrue of course as data from Brazil`s own space agency shows the number of forest fires in the Brazil between January and August surged by 84% for the same period in 2018.

He addressed the United Nations General Assembly last week claiming Brazil is `one of the countries that protects its environment the most.` He has also claimed the environmental relevance of the Amazon has been inflated, and that the Amazon is not a global property. This may or not be true but it would be nice if he recognised it has at least some part in the cogs of the world. Instead he commented `It is a fallacy to say that the Amazon is a heritage of humankind, and it is a misconception, as scientists claim, to say that our rainforest is the lungs of the world.`


Bolsonaro said he was `especially grateful` to U.S. President Donald Trump for supporting him over the `negative media` he has received over the fires. He commented `President Trump well epitomised the spirit that must prevail among U.N. member states: respect for the freedom and sovereignty of each of us,`. So obviously they are both friends and share a common goal in this, with Bolsonaro also an avid user of twitter just like Trump.

He finally added `The Amazon is not being devastated nor is it being consumed by fire as the media is falsely portraying,` and `Do not hesitate to visit Brazil.` Really ????

In other news a young girl from Sweden, Greta Thunberg, is doing well to give the politicians a hard time of the mess they are complicit in. Claiming they are just ignoring the science of the last 20 years as the goal for profit is seen as paramount over saving our home.
