The early 2000s were the best of times, before the half step screech took over around 2008.

Last year, when we wrote that "the best UK garage is coming out of Los Angeles," we were talking about Introspekt. The US DJ, who has since moved to New York, really understands the genre—its appeal, swing and unique, bassy whomp. Listen to any of her tracks, like last year's "Forlorn," and you'll hear someone who produces like she's been making UKG all her life. This is probably partly because she comes from a dubstep background, but either way, if you're looking for new UK garage beats, Introspekt is one of the best going right now.

Her DJing also hits a distinct sweet spot, zeroing in one of the proto-dubstep, dark UK garage days when producers like El-B were making the hottest shit around. Her sound is both retro and forward-looking, as you'll hear on her RA Podcast, which balances vintage Big Apple cuts from Skream & Benga with new-school tunes from Amaliah and Surusinghe. It's not so much a throwback as it is a rejuvenation of an old sound—a new way to look at it and a new way to make it. If hindsight is 20/20, then Introspekt has perfect vision, and mixes like this are the perfect way to educate listeners, make them move and innovate a little in the process.

Made for @feeybicep [FMB MIXTAPE 242]

This year I was lucky enough to play on the truly iconic IICON stage in Block9 at Glastonbury Festival so decided to bring a slice of it to this mix – “One Hour Of IICON” – for those asking for a recording 💘

I was opening the stage for the night for 2.5 hours – including soundtracking the sun setting - so it’s been an absolute mission to re-record some of that slow build set into <60 minutes. As always this mix prioritises new music from underground producers but also showed respect to the originators with a couple classics 🎖️ I hope you enjoy what’s in here!
