L.I.S 'Apple Fingers'

DJ Flight has been a constant throughout the many peaks and troughs of drum & bass. She's one of the genre's key chroniclers, with a real-time history of drum & bass in her archives as a radio presenter, and a level of behind the scenes involvement that spans decades.

While Flight's advocacy for equitable gender representation in drum & bass through her EQ50 collective is the most visible, it's by no means the sole initiative. Her work also extends to the Prison Radio Association—the only radio station made specifically for incarcerated people—as well as the Windrush Stories series, which focuses on the cultural history and contributions of Afro-Caribbean migrants to the UK.

Flight is also, plainly, a wicked DJ, who doesn't prefer one scene or subgenre over another—which also makes her a font of knowledge. (Her history of 2000s drum & bass is among the best genre deep dives we've ever published.) This RA Podcast is two hours of majestic, freewheeling beats that touch on every corner of drum & bass: from the minimalistic and razor-edged to ragga looseness, with a killer downtempo outro to smooth out the final landing. RA.942 is a first class journey from one of the scene's most enduring heroes. Big up Flight.

With huge support from folks like Nia Archives, Sully, Sherelle, Om unit, and DJ Storm songs from Nectax's forthcoming "Body Talk EP" have already made it to underground anthem status. Nectax's refined style draws inspiration from mid-‘90s deep atmospheric jungle and US footwork flavors. The Body Talk EP features 4 tracks that distinctly tie together - pristinely produced, bass heavy, future-facing music that respects roots and foundation. It's fitting that this is the 1st release in 14 years from the UK's  play:musik, a label founded by the legendary DJ Flight in 2005, now back with fresh tunes and a new look for ’24! Out July 26th!
