R Hawk Label Showcase #2

This time, taking it back to one of the most bountiful years for jungle - 1994 - and one of the best producers in the genre - Dillinja - with his label Logic Productions.  This time, there are only 3 releases on the label, although there is a 4th track licenced from Logic Productions that appeared on Drum & Bass Selection, ‘Baby Your’ that unfortunately never got a standalone release.  

My attention for this label started off when I heard a (now infamous) DJ set by Randall at AWOL in May 1994 https://youtu.be/A2bckbM0SLA?si=gYNrl3Mhhzq5QVZe.  That was still in the days when I was hearing most new music from mixtapes or recordings from raves and one of our friends, who lived near London, had a copy of this Randall and MC GQ set.  We listened to it over and over again and in particular, I was taken by one mellower track, that had a “Deep, deep, love” female vocal sample in it.  When we were collecting records back then, there was no internet, if you weren’t near a big city - there was no pirate radio; and while there were DJ magazines, they didn’t really tell you where to go and when, in order to find what you wanted - and they certainly didn’t come with audio clips; so really, it was down to being in the right record shop at the right time and selecting records out of the racks to listen to.  I was in Replay Records in Bath, at some point in 1994 (wish I could remember exactly when) and I pulled out a load of stuff to listen to; imagine my excitement when one of them was Dillinja - Deep Love and straight away I knew it was the same track off the Randall mix tape.  I have played this record so many times in the last nearly 30 years and it never gets old.  I picked up the 3rd release later in 1994, also from Replay in Bath and the 2nd release from W Sounds in Warminster from a 2nd hand collection a couple of years later. 

These are all sophisticated jungle drum & bass tracks, they sounded very advanced for the time and definitely some of Dillinja’s finest work. I love how they are not all tear out tunes, but a mixture of styles. I had a couple of goes at this mini-mix, as I soon realised how tricky it was getting the different keys to work together in the mix and blend; but I think I got there in the end! Hope you enjoy…

The 500th Aftershock Show recorded LIVE on 26th March for www.afterdarkradio.org. We made a night of it, with support from Mafs, Remedee, Asperatus Ninelives, Peso The Medic and Axon Gap. My mix was a whistle-stop tour through some of the show favourites from over the past 11 years. Jungle and drum & bass bangers, often with a little hardcore twist - that's how we roll!

This is a recording of the set I played over the weekend at an event I helped throw at the Roots Records Warehouse hosting Tim Reaper & Dwarde.  

This event turned out to be a great time and the turnout and energy was fantastic!  These 2 guys rocked it and were a pleasure to hang with and get to know on a more personal basis.  Big up E & D, you 2 are great people!  Until next time!!


NOTE: This is not the live recording as one was not made coming from the turntables.  I recorded it a few hours before the set as a practice session to get some personal feedback on my cues and routine.  Yes, I do sometimes plan my sets!

Hope you all enjoy!
