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 - Derek Went Mad

Shut Up & Dance - Genesis
Rum & Black - ESQ
Adé - Free The Soul (Club Version)
Shut Up & Dance - Lamborghini (Remix)

Shut Up & Dance Mixtape (Part 2)

Shut Up & Dance Retrospective Mixtape (Part 2)

This aspiring and energetic DJ has grabbed the interest of partygoers, club and event owners and dance music aficionados. A proud resident for some top events across the scene, has allowed HOLL3 to play across the UK at some of best nightclubs and festival events. HOLL3’s passion, determination, and drive has allowed her to flourish onto the scene as she’s pushed her sound out there. Crafting her own blend of dance music, where infectious disco has met rave vibes, and garage rhythms onto booming basslines and warehouse techno.
 
Promoted by DJ and producer Endor as ‘someone who certainly deserves recognition’, HOLL3 has supported the likes of Wilkinson, Shy FX, TSHA, Hybrid Minds, Barry Can’t Swim and BBC R1’s Danny Howard. HOLL3 is known for her incredible ability to read the dance floor. Her sets are full of energy and feeling as she takes you on a journey through music.
 
2023 has seen HOLL3 embrace a new generation of underground rave music, as she continues her monthly residency on Leicester based radio station Lowertone, and performed with the likes of SHERELLE, Partiboi69, KETTAMA and Prospa. HOLL3 has captured interest internationally after making her Rise festival debut in the Alps last winter, as well as securing bookings this year at Spring Break Amsterdam, Detonate and El Dorado Festivals and Ibiza. Nottingham based HOLL3 shows no signs of slowing down, as she embarks on music production and her journey further into music.

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!
