Live recording of @tim-reaper and @dwarde's massive b2b set at Parameter 2024 in San Francisco on May 11th.

"Mayhem", "Insanity", "Madness" - a few words we heard used to describe the loft when Tim and Dwarde put on an absolute clinic for 90 straight minutes. Tune after tune of pure, heavy jungle perfection.

Pinch b2b Neffa-T with Trim - 04 July 2024

SLOW860 is the latest chapter in Charlie Fieber, aka Fracture’s, celebration of pirate radio culture, merging it with his Chopped & Screwed-inspired Slow Astro world. This third "Slow" adventure pushes the concept further, adding another album to his critically acclaimed 0860 project. The result is a 60-minute, unbroken collage of 14 new compositions and 6 'slow ambient' 0860 remixes, interwoven with pirate radio skits and fuzz. Drawing inspiration from The KLF’s Chill Out and his teenage experiences falling asleep to stations like Kool FM and Weekend Rush, familiar elements from Fracture’s work emerge, yet remain hauntingly just out of reach as he deconstructs and extends 0860.

Staying true to pirate radio culture, the deluxe package comes in 'The First Aid Kit'—a term used by stations to describe listeners' stash boxes for enhancing the listening experience. The kit includes 0860 Astrophonica-branded rolling papers, stickers, and three cassette albums: SLOW860, the original 0860 Mixtape, and an exclusive cassette-only bonus, Ambient Signal Test—a 90-minute album of degraded Jungle breakdowns, originally broadcast to test the signal from the accompanying pop-up station, 0860.fm.

Deep dark and just for you 😅😅😅

Confinement!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 17/8/25.

I started this mix series a number of years ago, but then moved abroad and was unable to continue. During that time I started the Basic Rhythm project as a means of more explicitly exploring my own musical background in pirate radio and in the process re-contextualizing and updating it. Having since moved back to London I decided to relaunch the series, this time using the Basic Rhythm alias as it felt more apt to tie it to this project. Fact Mag were hosting the series for a brief time, but I decided I would prefer to do it on my own and have total control over the artwork and presentation. Each mix will naturally be entirely subjective, consisting of what I was playing and listening to at the time, as well as the big tunes on radio and in the raves.

The series starts at my early days of buying records at Music Power in Ilford, Total Music in Bethnal Green, Boogie Times in Romford, and even the odd trip to Paul for Music in Whitechapel; listening to Pulse FM, Unity 88.4, Weekend Rush and of course Kool FM; going raving at Telepathy, One Nation, Slammin’ Vinyl, Stratford Rex, Bagley's, The End and so on; playing on my first pirate station, eventually ending up on the infamous Rude FM. It kicks off in 1990, moving through early House and Techno, Hardcore, Jungle and eventually Drum & Bass.

The name is taken from a series of 12″s on 3rd Party Records, and feels suited to the mixes as not only did most of us start mixing in our bedrooms back then, but that is also where a lot of us made the music.

Shout out to Barry’s Da Mix, Vonnett, Leon, James, Pick N' Mix, Jamie K, MR2, Fugee and all the Rude FM Kru, Leon at Music House, Loxy, Jim Kutta, Mike and everyone at Planet Mu, Mickey Pearce, Lamont, Parris, Mick Harris, all the silent listeners and all the bedroom ravers. A special thank you to William Kingett / Worried Works for the artwork.
