looking fwd to actually seeing that. thats NEWS.

The jungle and drum & bass pioneer—and captivating storyteller—unpacks his life, career and new book.

Alongside peers like Fabio, Grooverider, Jumping Jack Frost, Randall, Micky Finn, LTJ Bukem and Nicky Blackmarket, Ray Keith played a leading role as jungle took over London in the mid '90s. His new autobiographical book, Dark Soldier, is a reflection on his life: his personal journey, his career, the highs and lows, and the many people who have influenced him. It's also the story of how he and the scene moved from analogue into electronic music. 

"I was in the right place at the right time," he said in this week's Resident Advisor Exchange, referring to the many Monday nights spent at Heaven in London, catching sets from the likes of Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold and Paul "Trouble" Anderson. "I was a purist, absorbing the sounds." 

Keith has put out so many records over the years, under so many different aliases, that he's lost count. He's also had radio shows on Vibe FM, Kiss FM and recently Thames Delta radio, cofounded a booking agency and headed up several record labels. He's a legend in the scene with a wealth of stories to tell.  

In this week's Exchange, Keith talks about growing up in Colchester, the importance of record stores as a community hub, dubplate culture, how music saved his life and the thrill of watching his daughter, AKA LO Selecta, play her first DJ set.

"The Depths Of Space is my debut album for Over/Shadow. This mix is a selection of my own tracks (including one remix) that showcase the 8 tracks from the album, a track from each of my previous Over/Shadow releases, plus a healthy mix of tracks from my own label, Spatial. I've gone for key blends where possible, and I wanted to feature a selection that encompasses everything to me that makes atmospheric jungle/d&b the special genre that it's always been, with a 2023 twist on production techniques. Enjoy" - ASC

FACT mix 360 - Trevino (Dec '12)

Ranging from deep and dubby to bass-heavy and bumpy,  Pugilist‘s musical creations have been picked up by such labels as Whities, Zam Zam and Modern Hypnosis in recent years, but it’s his brilliant new three-tracker on DJ Oberman’s Nous’klaer Audio that really caught our attention.

With that in mind, we reached out to see if he would be interested in laying down a mix for us. The result is a chuggy, bass-driven and highly percussive journey through all things dub, slo-mo techno and broken beat, with almost forty tracks crammed into the one hour and thirty-six-minute long recording – many of which unreleased. Enjoy! 🔉 🔊 Full feature: bit.ly/OTRMIX8
