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 is an album, mixtape, radio station and interview series that explores the history and legacy of Pirate Radio and its importance in the development of UK underground music.

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!

IT’S NOT OVER EP
J Plates x DJ Paradise
A1 / It’s Not Over
A2 / Told You
B / Sensation

💬 J Plates x DJ Paradise are back at the Mackie controls with latest offering ‘It’s Not Over EP'; featuring a sharp selection of left field, head nodding cuts!

Opening single ‘It’s Not Over’ dominates with it’s gloomy intro of tense strings, moody vocals & throbbing sub bass pressure, later switching to a more light hearted section of drum edits & luscious pad chords.

Meanwhile ’Told You’ sets a forward momentum with dreamy pads, filtered synths and a vocal refrain that drips in authenticity; it’s off kilter bass line sets the groove alongside a shuffled barrage of break beats & accompanying percussion which keeps things moving.

Closing track ’Sensation’ triumphantly rounds out the release with it’s nostalgic vocals, fizzy pads, and dominating technical assault of twisted midrange grit, layered alongside a weighty bass line!

To mark this sensational occasion, J Plates x DJ Paradise are offering B side single ’Sensation' as a ‘pay what you like’ download (exclusive to Bandcamp)!

It's Not Over EP

Told You

Told You [JPEP009]

All Night

"All things considered, getting all of this out with music just feels right? Like I can use the album to point to it to explain how I feel instead of having to think about [it] all the time, but at the very least, I want it to be the best apology I can give to the people who deserve it (even if they'll never hear it). And at a time where I can genuinely feel my brain starting to melt and the memories start to fade in the midst of everything, it'll be a way to go from faking some semblance of happiness all the time to at least trying to give myself the hugs and self-love I need to keep going, if only because I can't ask for forgiveness from the people I've hurt." -me, 4/21/2025.

"fleeting memories; feigning happiness" is a personal journey for me that follows, among other things, the course of a romantic relationship, the stages of grief that came with it, and my understanding of my eventual diagnosis of bipolar II disorder. I suppose I'll leave it at that.

Thank you for giving this album a listen.

...to all the people i've hurt

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.
