The Astro Jungle Series

Compilation mixes of my favourite tracks, old and new, from the world of hardcore, jungle and drum & bass. Mostly my own vinyl and CD rips alongside more recently acquired digital, initally put together with DJay 2 following the demise of my turntables; however most stuff I do nowadays is sequenced for maximum rollout potential, cheeky edits and ting - audacity/ableton live.

Atmospheric D&B Mix - R Hawk - 10th November 2021

mellow beats [tape]

Decided to drop a 5 track Lo-Fi & Downtempo mixtape I wrote back in 2020.

This mixtape is titled 'A Message From Mars' and expresses sentiments towards the decaying state of our planet and society. 

I hope this message resonates with you.

After six years of graft I finally hit a million plays on my profile, so here's something special that I've been sat on for a while. Easily one of my favourite mixes from the pandemic era, Astro Jungle Part 1 (inspired by/cunningly plagiarised Aldi-style from @kolanut's Space Mix) was recorded back in October 2020 and left to mature gracefully, like a fine cosmic claret. Parts 2 and 3 will be posted over the next couple of weeks. As ever, big thanks to you all for the follows, comments & reposts. Enjoy the mix :)

•••Subfactory reaches Sweet 16•••

What a ride it's been! Another lap around the Sun complete, making it 16 wild years of Subfactory broadcasting on Bassdrive. Synchronistically, this mile stone show joined forces with the eternal love that is found all around and was broadcast LIVE on Valentines Day. Which is where the theme of 'Sweet Love' for this addition came about. All tracks, except the first, in this 2 hour Spim mix contain either the word 'Sweet' or 'Love' or both! 

The love flows direct from me to you with the finest Drum & Bass as our soundtrack.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the selection. Keep up the good work.

Subfactory Radio #380 - 16th Birthday!

A rare Sunday upload from me: the final part of the aquatic jungle series. Been sat on this one far too long, it was put together back in early 2023, but the weather's too good not to share it. Ambient/atmospheric jungle is the perfect summer soundtrack for me, and these watery bastards are about as close to a Bukem-style mix as I've got so far.  There's a nice variety of styles on this one ... hope you enjoy it.

Selectabwoy: Evolution Of Hardcore Part VI

Evolution Of Hardcore (Part VI)

Unable to track down the official Grooverider mixtape, I made my own instead :) 

Somehow I was oblivious to the irony of the title, but my man Lex (@jungleteknoftw) reasonably pointed out that this 1994 compilation isn't hardstep, indeed it seems to be a premature coining of the phrase a year too early; but what it sure as hell is, is an authentic snapshot of the wide variety of music hammering the dancefloors back in the golden year of jungle. From the laid-back style of Bukem and Alex Reece, through more hardcore/ravey vibes from the Awesome camp, dark and deadly business from Dillinja, Photek and Rider himself, and then Tom & Jerry, L Double, Mental Power and Brainkillers serving up the 'jungle' jungle side of things... selection-wise, this has it all. 

It's not without its flaws - skirting over the artwork, the vinyl pressing wasn't the loudest (as I can attest) and lacked the Noodles & Wonder exclusive; tracks on all versions are edited under the 5-minute mark (I had to replace the last two, couldn't cope with having just the first half of 'Music' as the closer)... and I coulda done without the SS tune, that vocal gets on my tits. But none of that really matters at all, I have very fond memories of this comp and the time it harks back to. 

Hope you all enjoy :)

Selectabwoy: Grooverider's Hardstep Selection

Selectabwoy's Hardstep Selection

Compiling tracks for the 4th in my Rave Kid series got me thinking about what separates these from the beardier Evolution of Hardcore proto-D&B mixes, and as I scanned over a handful of my fave Sy and Slipmatt tapes from '93 the answer was crystal clear: great big huge blatant samples, rave riffs, breakbeats with stomping kickdrums, acid lines and the odd chipmunk. Mixed it up with a bit of darkside/jungle techno of course, but it's the cheerfully stomping exuberance of Wishdokta et al that's central to the vibe here. Anyway, I shan't dissect this too much, just pop it on nice and loud and enjoy the weekend yeah? L8rzzzz X

Selectabwoy: Autobiography Of A Rave Kid Part IV

Autobiography Of A Rave Kid Part IV

Been idly planning this one for a while. All credit to Greg @kolanut for the inspiration - after listening to his excellent space/illness themed mixes a while ago, I knew I was going to have to do an aquatic concept mix at some point. 

Why water? Like many other Pisceans, I don’t buy into the astrology bullshit whatsoever. However, there's something special about the overlap between music and water in nature that I love in both a literal sense - tracks that feature the sound of raindrops, waves crashing etc. - and as an abstract. Evidently I’m not the only one - the ‘floaty’ aesthetic of some of the more ambient side of D&B lends itself nicely to an aquatic theme. Granted, I’ve no idea whether tracks titled ‘River Of Dreams’ or ‘Mysteries Of The Deep’ would conjure up the same vibe under a different name, but it really doesn’t matter. Most of these tunes I’ve known for a long, long time – for me the titles are inextricably linked to the music and so form part of the narrative here.

Thinking about it, I’m not even sure why it took so long to get around to this mix, as planning and executing it was possibly more enjoyable than any other I’ve done. Working with a specific theme provides a nice excuse to bring together styles and producers that on the face of it might not seem an obvious match, the main task being to figure out some kind of continuity. It was also a great opportunity to trawl the internet for watery track titles and discover a handful of hitherto unknown pearls. Rest assured I’ve got plenty more set aside :) 

Enough words, dive in!

Aquatic Jungle (Part One)

Onwards with the aquatic jungle and I've gotta tell you, this one is pretty special to me, so I've been sitting on it for a few weeks. I've had some incredible post-millennium tunes such as Aquatica and Dark Water in my shortlist since the inception of this series, so this marks my first foray out of the 90s: selecting D&B and some halftime bits from across the last two decades with a handful of 90s tunes spliced in. Bit of an epiphany really as most of this selection comes from an era that I have long overlooked in favour of the 92-97 sound. Yes, you may question the 'jungle' of the title but once you coin a name and a template you're stuck with it - besides that, it's all jungle to me mate :)

Sending this out to Josh @the-roadblock, Olly & Ell @wiseguisedjs, Ciaran @rough-culture, Greg @kolanut & Paul @distantworldtransmissions. Big thanks to Dave @twohungryghosts for the G-Force download and to the DOA forummers for a bunch of excellent water-themed suggestions in an old thread I discovered, accordingly a few tracks in here are new to me, keeping it nicely fresh for my ears. Big ups everyone, enjoy the mix ... don't forget your shark repellant

* 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 :)
