A fictional event that took place at the Astoria on Charing Cross Road in London back in the winter months of 1994. Nico, Trace, Ed Rush and the No U-Turn crew in a cloud of smoke on one side of the booth with Pascal, Sponge and the face crew on the other. A banged out Astoria with the lights down low waits as Nico wins the coin toss to step up first - One record each for 60 minutes. The crowd hushes as the needle hits the plate and the crackles on the run in send chills through the building.

That's how it happened in my head anyway :) Mixed on 1210s by myself in the bunker.

LTJ Bukem - Live From Quest @ Palomas, Wolverhampton - 4th June 1994

The first 3 years of Good Looking were a big bang for what became atmospheric jungle and dnb. Originally an outlet for LTJ Bukem's tracks, the label eventually included other artists who shared his vision. These early tracks are rooted in hardcore rave - rough, unpredictable, idealistic - while turning away from the darkside elements pervading the scene. While these tracks sound great by themselves, IMO they really come alive in the mix. Track list is below. Enjoy!

Swan-E & Top Buzz - Unity at Hastings Pier - Summer 1994

The year is 2077. Society has collapsed under the control of a brutal dictatorship. The UK is a military state and all uprisings are suppressed. But one last bastion of resistance remains…through a network of squat raves and free parties…the Night Ravers Control The Underground.

‘The Night Ravers’ is the first release on Codename: RCRDS, the new label from Southampton-based jungle, 160 and atmospheric crew Codename: Amen. The release and label channel the energy of the 90’s rave era, pushing the sound forward into exciting new directions for 2023.

Moakz’s original mix marks a movement away from his previous atmospheric and jazz jungle releases, and towards his hardcore roots. Now complemented by storming remixes from the incredible RAVETRX (HooverSound, forthcoming Club Glow), and the release closes out with the superbly talented NonRev and rising star Cold Leader delivering innovative reworks, with this EP provides a marker of intent for the label and collective artists.

Future releases on Codename: RCRDS will continue to mine the Jungle / Hardcore / 160 and Atmospheric continuums, via a series of various artist releases commencing from May 2023.
