Collusion Records, owned by Swan-E and Ellis D* came to the vinyl market in 1994 along with a whole host of other popular labels. Although mainly supported on the DJ circuit by the labels owners the venture didn’t seem to take off quite as well as other labels providing similar output and stayed very much a borderline affair. Its most popular releases in terms of DJ support must have been ‘Yeah Come On’ by Realtime and ‘Lessons’ by Swan-E & Undercut. 

The production used a staple format of hip hop samples, jungle breaks and a slab of Amen chops – it worked quite well in places, the clever sampling in Desert Storm is a personal favourite of mine. In terms of label progression, Collusion Records demonstrates a clear time line in its releases. If you were to play each one in order you can see where the changes in production techniques pop up. Sadly I don’t own 01 – 05, something I should really pick up on Discogs.

Swan-E produced a DJ mix for Dream Magazine (a similar production to Eternity) in 1997 which featured a few tunes from Collusion Records. ‘The Alarm’ was the sign off track and always had me wondering at the time why I had never heard this on any other DJs sets during the year. It was a similar story for most of these tunes featured in my mix, most were good if not great tunes but didn’t seem to pick up the support from the headline DJs. 

Both Swan-E and Ellis D were resident DJs to a certain degree at United Dance, held at Stevenage Arts & Leisure center back in the mid to late 90’s – if you were a keen supporter of the label then this is where you would hear any forthcoming releases. 

The last big push for Collusion Records was in 1999 when a 4 piece vinyl album hit record shops. A mixture of late 90’s jump up infused with tech-step beats bundled with a bit of early liquid is possibly a creative description of the album! Radio Warz featuring MC Fearless was the standout track, the rest are a bit of a mixed bag.

The final 12” from the label was released in 2001 by Parallel Mind, since then I have no idea what became of Collusion Records. 

Another great contribution to the jungle and drum & bass scene which, at the time, maybe went slightly unnoticed.

This mix was produced using only the original vinyl pressing, a pair of Technics and a DJM700 (just in case people wonder where the effects came from).

Hamilton might seem like a relatively new name on the block to some, but this versatile and talented producer has been making electronic music for over fifteen years. Having conquered several genres and worked as an international DJ for a decade and a half, the next step in
Hamilton’s story was after sending some of his D&amp;B tracks to Ram boss Andy C.

Signing exclusively to Ram in 2009, Hamilton has already released two huge 12”s for Frequency (Ram’s sister label) and the immense ‘Soundboy’, a track released as part of Andy C’s ‘Nightlife 5’ CD. His latest single is set to be even bigger and is a testament to Ram’s ability
to develop artists. 

With a weight of production skill and the knowledge and experience of what makes people go nuts on the dance floor, Hamilton’s tunes are engineered specifically to get the dance moving and ‘Brainstorm’ has no trouble doing that.

Leading in gently with rolling percussive elements and a gradually building atmosphere, Hamilton slowly lets the suspense grow until the ravers are eager for release. Winding bass notes and scattered drum edits are interspersed with sweeping FX and this one is a sure-fire
smasher.

Taking things on an epic and melodic tip for the flip, Hamilton shows his diversity with ‘Echoes’, a track that harks back to the golden era of drum &amp; bass and was a highlight on ‘Nightlife 5’. Like a modern day PFM, Hamilton effortlessly combines twinkling musical elements and
warm synthetic pads with crisp breakbeats and a rolling flow that’s undeniable. This one will see many a dance floor through to 4am with raised hands and smiling faces.

Kartoons, owned by the world renowned Nicky Blackmarket was a direct offshoot from the home of Blackmarket Records. Founded in 1997 with a total of 34 releases, the label featured the likes of Ray Keith, TNT (Target & Trend) alongside some lesser known artists such as Jonnie Braze, Live Crew (DJ Profile & Trend) and Fade. 

2 Degrees was, without a doubt, the biggest selling release on Kartoons which must have featured in every drum & Bass DJs set during 1997. Love it or hate it, this record paved the way for Jump Up in the late 90's. The sample "better get the old man down here", taken from the 1983 film Wargames played a memorable part in the track, as does the string intro and what I assume was some kind of elephant sample.

The main drawback of the label, and possibly why it wasn't recognised by some as credible is probably because it was trying to be a bit of everything. Hopefully the mix will prove this, its a mixture of jungle, bordering early liquid, some tech step, jump up and a bit of hard step - so many sub genres I could probably write a book just on that.

Personally, I love the Kartoons label and can't wait to see what's in store for 2016's relaunch.

Final word in this write up must be to pay respect to Trend - RIP.

DJ Jamie - All Kartoons

After my last label mix (Kartoons) I thought it best for my next mix to pay homage to my all time favourite drum & bass producers, two artists who I have stalked on Discogs in a kind of worrying fashion over the last few years, trying to pick up obscure remixes and forgotten bits of vinyl. Aphrodite has carried his style well over the years and since the early days of jump up his production has been duplicated, copied, ripped off by many - some have succeeded in manipulating that trademark bass, others have blatantly done a poor job. I don't think that drum & bass would have been what it was in the mid 90's without contribution from both Micky Finn & Aphrodite, nearly every set in '95 and '96 featured heavily with tracks from Urban Takeover and other sub labels. I think for me, the clever use of hip hop samples, straight kicks and snares along with the original wobble bass seems to be a winning formula.

It really hit home when Stalker was featured in Human Traffic in 1999, the same year Aphrodite released his self titled album - this was a time when, for me, the direction of drum & bass seemed uncertain. A time when new genres were popping up all over the place, most of my close DJ friends had moved over to the likes of UK garage or the deeper aspects of drum & bass.

Aphrodite obviously still plays all over the world, his sets these days still seem to feature the same spark his production did all those years ago, he seems to have moved on though bassline wise with his own production - not really something I am that keen on. That's just a person thing though although I guess he had to move on sometime.

So here's part one of some of my all time favourite releases by Micky Finn & Aphrodite, a collection spanning many years and many samples. All mixed on 2 Technics 1210's and a DJM700, nothing fancy but then I don't think this series needs it.

Here's the track listing:

The History Of Suburban Base Megamix (1991 - 1997)

They say time flies and in this situation it certainly does considering one of the greatest jump up producers, DJ Trend, passed away on 17th September 2010 on his 32nd birthday.

Well known for his output in the late 90’s on Kartoons and his label Live Recordings, Trend had his own unique style of simplic beats for the dance floor. 2 Degrees, Tune Your Bass, Another Classic and Anthem were all huge tunes supported by every DJ on the circuit near the end of the millenium. 

My fondest memory of Trend’s production has to be hearing DJ Hype play ‘2 Degrees’ at Helter Skelter Human Nature. It was absolutely ridiculous, everyone in The Sanctuary went totally mental and to this day I have yet to see a tune cause such mayhem. A close second to this would be Kenny Ken playing ‘Tune Your Bass’ alongside Stevie Hyper D at Helter Skelter Energy ‘97 - a legendary set.

Trends album ‘New Beginnings’ is certainly worth checking out, maybe the title was suggestive to the content as his style seem deeper and more melodic. ‘Check Dis Out’ is a personal favourite of mine.

Although using ‘DJ’ in one of his producer guises, his actual DJ work doesn’t seem to be that well publicised, especially online. I suspect that he played at many pirate stations during his time, sadly I don’t have any of these in my collection.

Dizzie Rascal paid tribute to Trend by wearing a RIP DJ Trend T-Shirt during his appearance on Sky Televisions ‘Must be the Music’. He also spoke about his grief and the music influence taken from Trend commenting “I have got to say: Rest in peace, DJ Trend. Never forgotten, drum and bass specialist legend”.

No doubt Dizze Rascal grew up with Trend’s Drum & Bass production, and although his influences may have been forgotten over the years with his crossover to the mainstream it was certainly evident in his earlier days of Grime.

Talking of Grime and the UKG scene, Trend’s label Left Records moved with the times in 2002 and provided a whole host of releases for this, at the time, fresh movement. The likes of Wiley, Roll Deep, J2K and Sweetie Ire featured on the label before it finalised its output in 2006.

2 Degrees was also officially remixed by Geeneus in 2002 providing the 2 Step scene with a fresh take on the anthem. It is also well documented that Trend also made movements in the commercial scene, lending his hand to the production for Sugababes, The Streets and Daniel Bedingfield.

You can still hear the likes of Eksman, Fearless and Bassman pay respect to the late, great Stevie Hyper D - perhaps the younger generation of ravers have no knowledge of other important players in the scene who have passed away. The likes of MC Ruff, G E Real, DJ Kemistry, and Murray Beetson all deserve a mention, no doubt others who I am unaware of has also sadly passed away. 

RIP to all fallen soldiers.

175 Crew started 175 Records in 1997, here’s a brief history of the owners, the output and the end result.

I originally assumed that 175 Crew came from America however it turns out the 2 members were in fact Alistair Ash and Noel Simmonds (otherwise known as Nu Balance). The duo later went on to sign tracks to Trouble on Vinyl at the start of the millennium.

The mix contains every release from 175 Crew bar Funk Over Dose / Rippin Up Shows.

Here’s what’s included:

175 Crew Volume 1      Make Your Ass Swing & Turn on the Heat Again
175 Crew Volume 2      A & AA
175 Crew Volume 3      A (Volume 1 Remix) & AA
175 Crew Volume 4      A & AA
175 Crew                     Mad Skillz & Feel the Heat
175 Crew                     East Coast Killa & Terrordome

175 Crew should have put out more of this kind of style in my opinion; it was a combination of hip hop breaks, vocal samples and jump up basslines that made their style a winner. Admittedly the biggest track was Volume 1 from their own label which was a firm favourite by the likes of Kenny Ken and Nicky Blackmarket, I think even Hyper D had a soft spot for the labels production.

Rewind to 1996 and I can image what ideas would have been going round the duo’s heads, it would an ideal time to set up a label like this and although the Jump Up market was busy, it certainly was splitting in direction by 1997 when the first release was sold commercially.

I’m not really sure why they didn’t put more tunes out on their self-titled label , the style of the production suited the era perfectly although 2 releases a year was a pretty poor show and with times changing dramatically in 1999 it was no surprise the label was canned. Looking back on this it would have been much more of a success if 175 Crew had followed in the direction of True Playaz who put out a whole heap of quality in both 1997 and 1998 using only a select number of producers. 175 Crew probably only needs 2 or 3 more producers to make the label more of success.

A remix of Volume 1 by Crystal Clear was later put out on Heavy Rotation in 2009 which received heavy criticism from the drum & bass community. This was probably a sign of the times though as many of the younger generation embraced the track, probably not having heard the original and seeing no relevance as to why people were moaning.

Solid Steel (28th June) It's a massive welcome this week to Congo Natty, a well respected and legendary figure in British music who had his first release as Rebel MC in 1988, the same year Solid Steel started. Chart success followed alongside Double Trouble, but he's probably most respected as one of the pioneers of Jungle. His music has always been a firm fixture on Solid Steel, evident in the 1991 Kiss recording we had back in January. Will Ashon from Big Dada talks to him about his extensive career, his new album 'Jungle Revolution' and we get to hear a few classic records that have influenced him over the years. That is followed by a 'Congo Natty live 95' recording that features Ragga Twins, Navigator, MC Dett and DJ SL.
