jungle tunes 03

This mix from UK's Aquasky was aired on Australia's Triple J Radio back in 2007. I personally ripped this, well downloaded as there was a way to download the file and bypass the flash player protection back then ;-) Great mix all round, this was at the time they were doing a world tour and breaks were the in thing.

Aquasky - Triple J Mixup - 29.9.2007

OK... first of 3 mixes I have done for February. 2 are classic breaks from 2001-2015. The other is a d&b mix of new tunes. 

Anyway, so this mix was done my usual traditional method:

Technics 1210's
Rane TTM 56S
Serato 1.8.1
SL3 Box
Novation Dicers
Macbook Pro
2x Shure Whitelabel Needles

All live, no Ableton, Cubase etc... I like my style of DJing as it still uses decks and you get the odd deck rub to get it in tight, which is something you never hear in mixes these days and everything is timed up live, no presetting tempos like many other DJs are renowned for doing. I did this mix for Mike Swaines 'Bass & Breaks' Radio Show.

Once this has gone over 1000 plays i'll release the next mix :)

Baobinga & ID - Machine Aquasky Remix - 18th August VIP Ambient Intro

Pre Order Technique.lnk.to/Summer2017so
51 Tracks & 2 Continuous Mixes By DJ Muffler
Released Friday 2nd June 2017

Living in the UK, you quickly learn that you can't trust the weather to indicate the arrival of summer. For DnB heads, though, there's a far more reliable signal to gear up for festival and holiday season. And now it's here. Yes, Technique's Summer 2017 LP has dropped, and it's done so with Richter-troubling force.

For a start off, it's a monumental fifty-one tracks deep (with two continuous mixes from Muffler thrown in for good measure) featuring contributions from all corners of the drum 'n' bass scene. For example, Viper bosses Matrix & Futurebound pass through, with the insane 8-bit video game riffs of “Scatterbrain”. Brookes Brothers deliver the stripped-back R&B-flavoured “Good to Me”. Invaderz underpin jazz keys with rolling beats in “Gruisin”. And, who would have predicted the appearance of two cuts from the mighty Aquasky?

Plus, of course, the regular Technique roster are out in force. New signings T-Phonic & Deadman give us an instant-classic junglist workout, complete with thundering breaks and savage Reese bass. We've got MaxNRG doing crazy things to melodies in “Soul Fever”, two pieces from Document One, Tantrum Desire's “Gravitate”, L Plus's dancefloor bubbler “Going Away”, tracks from Spectrem...and that's before we even get onto the contributions from label bosses Drumsound & Bassline Smith themselves.

This album covers the full spectrum and then twists the dial a few notches more.

It might say Summer on the cover, but this is far more than a collection of festival tunes. From shadow to sunlight, Drumsound & Bassline Smith have curated a collection that displays the full gamut of what DnB has to offer in 2017. Just dive in, they're about to take you on a journey.

Aquasky - Your Love [NEST HQ Premiere]

Here it is, Part 3 of my Liquid Liaisons Mix Series... ready for the sunshine! Recorded the usual way with technics 1210's and Serato... no ableton or computer mixes... this is some proper DJing like they did 'when I were a lad!'

This mix had its exclusive airing on DNBRadio in the US via my man Doctor Genesis' show. Tracklist is in the comments section.

If you like please, please share, like and download :)

Aquasky 'Liquid Liaisons Pt. 3' D&B Mix - July 2017 * free download*

This is a mix we must have done in 2003 I think. We stopped making  d&b in 2004, so pretty sure this is the year before (though if there are tunes on this mix from 2004, please let me know and ill correct the date!)

Some proper heavy rinsers on this mix, though the last 15min of the mix I cant get the CD to play, so this is all for now!

If you like, please RT and like :)

Aquasky 'Big And Bashy' 2003 D&B Mix *Free Download*

Back in 2004 I did a gig with MC Jakes at a club called WUK in Vienna, Austria. This is the second half of the set when we dropped into drum and bass... and jeez I use to play some heavy tunes back then! The intro Jakes did for the mix we sampled on a Baobinga remix we did, also in 2004, called 'Shake Yer Head' on our 777 label (in case you recognised it!)

One other thing I remember about this gig is that this was the first time I ever tried Sushi!!! Odd what your memory remembers! Sushi ended up being my favourite food! So a poignant date... 03.07.04!

Back then I was playing vinyl only!

Youngstar - Pulse X (Blackwax Remix)

Bring The Ruckus Album
Passenger Records
March 25th 2013

Ft: Aquasky, 601, The Autobots, Dead Audio, The Ragga Twins, Rennie Pilgrim, MC Spyda, RTC, Sporty-O, MadRush, HeavyFeet, Timmy Schumacher, Radiokillaz, Black & Blunt, Beatsmack & Roisin Brophy

Remixes by Funtcase & Toronto Is Broken

It is now 20 years that the infamous words "Bring The Muthaf**kin Ruckus" was first etched into our consciousness by the RZA on the debut album by The Wu-Tang Clan. An album that snatched the rap crown back from the sun drenched GFunk streets of the West Coast and returned it to the windswept concrete streets of New York’s East Coast. A classic crew, a classic album from a classic era.

Now in 2013 Passenger Records head-honchos Aquasky takes that memorable soundbite and flips it into a fresh new compilation. Like the Wu-Tang Clan itself, this album is a collection of individual artists, all established in their own right. Some are young to the breakbeat scene, others are have been rattling bass-cones for many years now. A collection of sounds, inspirations and ideas that all fuses together with one underlying element connecting them… RUCKUS, filthy bassline ruckus!!!

With that ethos shared with all the contributors you can be sure this project isn't for the faint hearted, all contributors brought their A-Game, all trying to out do the other. Out of retirement come the much loved Autobots teaming up with the new dustup producers DeadAudio, fusing the vocal talents of MC Spyda and Roisin Brophy. Aquasky throw forward four tracks, two vocal and two instrumental but all full of demented bass and riffs. HeavyFeet joins forces with Manchester MC, MadRush, for three new schooling beat tonkaz. Original Passenger artist Timmy Schumacher flies in from New Zealand with two firey tunes, one featuring another Passenger regular, MC Spyda, he of Pendulum & Knife Party fame. And returning to drop some vocal gymnastics on Passenger is Atlanta based rapper Sporty-O.

No Aquasky inspired album would ever be complete without the pairing up with Flinty Badman and Deman Rockers from The Ragga Twins alongside their superbad buddies from RTC - CoGee, MTEK and Pedro Slimer. Heading way down south, to the lands of Perth, Australia, we have Black & Blunt and Beatsmack with two straight groovin 140 sleng-tengerz. From the new school of 140 breakbeat producers comes Radiokillaz with their tune 'War Iz Ugly' and firmly from the old school, from the era of the original acid house parties of London gone by is the lynchpin of the Rhythm Section; Mr. Rennie Pilgrim. And finally, we have three tracks from the unstoppable 601, taking time out from recording their debut album for Passenger Records titled 'We Do Bass'. These guys know how to make a killa bassline and unleash Da Madness and here is the evidence!

Lastly there are three spanking remixes… one by the man of now in the world of dubstep… the ever angry powerhouse that is Funtcase. Another by the crew of the dubstep world - Genetix!!! Followed up by the Subslayer labels beacon of bass, Toronto Is Broken, for a fierce 140 relick of Rennie Pilgrim.

So no pretentiousness here, no hocus pocus… the album title leads the charge. Open your windows and go Bring The Ruckus!!!

DEPLOY*DESTROY*ENJOY
