This is my daughter Rowan's first full track. Written on her kindle fire using Caustic 3, no involvement from me or anyone, I'm very proud of this, sounds like an Aphex Twin B side or maybe Speedy J or Autechre...

Elijah - '98 Drum & Bass Mixtape

Recorded live off the radio in Aberystwyth sometime in 1998, heavily de-hissed & beefed up in the bass by my Dad at www.lostsounds.co.uk . This is notable for being mixed without the benefit of a cross fader on the knackered old equipment at the radio station. And every time you pushed up a fader you lost the sound on the headphones! - took a lot of getting used to. It's not me doing the talking btw (& getting the name of the opening track hopelessly wrong)... that was Chris & Gary... still a cracking setlist imho... :) & watch out for the "Radio Ceredigion" jingle!

Btw I can't remember the name of the track I played during the chart countdown at the start. I'm pretty sure it was a Congo Natty 10" white label. I'll have to go up in the attic & hunt through if no one knows... :)
