First uploads of 2023, so let’s make them good ones, right?

As pioneers of the UK breakbeat/jungle scene, I doubt Smiley & PJ need any introduction. This two-part mix compiles many of my favourites from their extensive back catalogue, including the seminal LP ‘Dance Before the Police Come’ in its entirety.

Part 1 focuses slightly more on their rap roots. Part 2 leans towards the breakbeat sound that saw the rave scene adopting them back in the early 90s.

Shut Up & Dance - Genesis

Mark Walker (UK) is a DJ/Producer from Scarborough in the North-East of England, he is an underground artist that has an ever-growing presence in the dance scene.

Since 2021, He was found to be focusing on his recently disbanded duo tech house alias, It had him travelling up and down the UK, playing various club events which saw him support artists such as Pirate Copy, DEL30, Elliot Adamson and Josh Hvaal.

His roots, have always been for driving, fast paced hard techno, which currently has his full focus. His style can be seen with driving basslines, distorted kicks and 90s rave elements/acid, finding inspiration from the likes of: 999999999, I Hate Models, Dax J, DJ Rush, Amelie Lens and Charlie Sparks.

His earlier releases came on SMR Underground, Advise Records and Botancia Records, Which was somewhat more, Minimal/Peak techno, with another that was released on Sound Klecske Records. Since these releases, his style has changed dramatically. Influenced massively by the techno brand Possession, which is seen in his sound change with a hypnotic industrial vibe, which is seen in his latest edits of Lady Gaga – Poker Face and the more recent Nelly Furtado – Promiscuous. The Promosicious Remix has had him getting the credentials from some of hard techno’s biggest acts, CLTX, CHRS and Sopik, having his tracks played all over the globe at events such as, Amsterdam Dance Event or Phase 2.

In 2023, One of Marks unreleased tracks gained support from artists such as Shlomo, Paula Temple and Luca Agnelli, and is due to be released on CLTX’s TX Records in April 2023.

step2it #28 'Jack's Ascension' - Jack De Rida (Jungle & Hardcore mix)

@iamsoulnd is joining OFF BEAT with a monthly show dedicated to some of the finest labels and artists in the drum & bass, dubstep and jungle scene. 2 hours. Vinyl only. All About The Music.

Episode #24 is dedicated Break. Charlie has been one of my favourite artists for many years and I had the chance to hear him play in 2009 and again in 2022, when I asked him to sign some of his records that I bought over the years. :) This radio show has been a long time coming and as HMSU are bringing him back to Sofia, Bulgaria this Saturday the 26th at club DOM (https://www.facebook.com/events/439623095875101) I thought it's finally a good time to do it. I have around 165 Break tracks from 84 releases in my collection and ended up with 47 tracks from 47 different releases. As always I tried to keep the mix interesting by picking some jungle, some of the classic Break rollers, a few dubby bits, some liquid gems and a lot of bangers. 🔥 Big up Bristol's finest and enjoy the ride!
