Make It Real

Pre-Order: 4 X LP

Special Request - Make It Real - taken from forthcoming 4 X LP Belief System

The future continued to plague him with worry and self doubt. He considered the possibility of remaining young, wild and free forever for he did not want to grow up, old or sideways. The uncertainty which paved the way forwards was blinding at times, like throwing one's self outwards into the abyss. A leap of faith. 

Bakground is set to release a six track EP on what will be Raw Sounds District's fourth release. A delicate assortment of dusty beats and low dlung pads. Listen to a rampant, breakbeat cut from the EP titled "Don't Wanna Grow Up".

PREMIERE: Bakground - Don't Wanna Grow Up [Raw Sounds District]

Record Box 4: Old Skool '89-'92 Era

Tek 9 - You Got To Slow Down [Reinforced 1993]

Sonikku comes riding back into the Lobster Theremin's tropical gardens with a flurry of sparkling, arpeggiator-driven ambient jams featuring three extended reworks from NTS regular Mobbs. 
Sonikku's originals apply a drier and skit-length pop approach to synth-based home listening. Building a borderline-saccharine melodic base to each track then upping the sheen with a tropical and twinkling production. Shots of balearic appear in 'Earth Temple', Christmas jingles echo from the depths of 'Diamond Dust', while 'Sky Garden' channels a more direct emotional palette of warm synthesizer heartbreak. 
Mobbs' approach is to allow each track to breathe around it's core strengths over a longer time frame, whilst enhancing and encouraging each element to make it's space and time to enter the track. The shifts and swaying structures turn shorter synth ideas into fully blown journeys that become hypnotic by the end. A soft, dream-like ride into bliss.

LSS003 - SONIKKU - Diamond Dust [Lobster Sleep Sequence]

PREMIERE :  Sonikku - Earth Temple (Original Mix)

Field recordings of gentle water currents, piano flutters and bass and guitar lines that fit just as well in a slowcore song as they do in this nine-minute hazy epic. Melbourne duo @albrecht-labrooy on R&S sister label @apollo-records.

* Message me if you have any copyright issues *

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
