As a co-founder of the Sheffield-based Rave New World night Andrew Cook aka Soundboy Cookie immediately established himself in the underground garage scene. This success up north was swiftly followed by a move to London, a slew of swinging productions and recognition from some of the most prominent figures in the scene such as Perception, DJ Shy Dee and El-B. Here he shows why we refer to him as the 2-step garage guru – introducing us to the scenes thriving new school, including forthcoming and unreleased material as well as adding some breakbeat/techno flavour for good measure.

We are very proud to present the third mix in this ever-evolving series. As current president of Leeds’s leading DJ society BPM, Tañ is (in every sense) a party starter. From putting on open deck nights for up and coming DJs to test their skills on a club standard setup, to spinning tunes in Belgrave for 3 hours, she has a proven track record. This one is not for the faint hearted. Clocking in at 76 minutes and including an incredible 40 tracks, Tañ provides us with an insight into her fierce, powerful and club ready sound.

Jungle Mitzi

The fourth instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

Tything Collective make their second appearance in the series with The Third Worst DJ In England aka Jacob Ratcliffe. As the host of The Bootleg John Peel Show on Threads Radio (previously hosted on 199 Radio) Jacob effortlessly ties music together not by distinct genres or bpm but by timbre and feel. His shows cover everything from Aphex Twin to Nina Simone to Omar Souleyman to a Wiley Vs Kano clash; RMM004 follows suit. This is a true odyssey, starting at funk, going through the hardcore continuum (briefly stopping at Bollywood and new wave on the way!) and ending up at the Looney Tunes.

The connection to these distinctly energetic nights can be heard throughout this 90% vinyl mix with Alice’s own character and charm shining through. Be prepared for powerful vocals, funky basslines and a sprinkle of tasteful acapellas.

The thirteenth instalment of the Reference Mark Mix Series. Past, present and future friends of the label are given the chance to reference the sounds that define them.

It seems almost a lifetime ago since Nyah aka Sicario first graced the decks at Leeds’ infamous BPM open decks, but ever since then we’ve been huge fans. Her energy behind the decks is infectious and this is reflected in her tune selection for this mix. Not afraid to throw in an oldschool vocal track, she weaves her way through breaky, off-kilter (would be) current club tracks, through UK bass, techno and electro all the way up to hardcore rave and jungle. Immaculate mixing accompanies this exquisite track selection from one of the most exciting and talented up and coming DJs.

Reference Mark Mix 013 ※ Sicario

Stepping up to the decks this week is our very own Saucebag aka Louis Tooth. As well as being co-owner of Gimme A Break, Saucebag also built Bitch Soundsystem from the ground up which has been shaking basements ever since. 

What selections Saucebag will bring to the decks is always a mystery, he has been seen mixing everything from Nelly Furtado to Gabber all in the same night and has an undeniable soft spot for donk. However this week he has stuck to some of his favourite styles, providing 45 fast and furious minutes of electro, breakbeat, and hard techno.
