A deeply personal account of my love affair with techno/rave/hardcore/breakbeat music circa 1990-1994. 

The phrase came about from a mate who came over, saw all the flyers (for club nights I was too young to go to) stuck all over my bedroom walls, and called me a rave kid. Yeah, that's me.

Rebooted with fresh artwork. More to follow.

Autobiography Of A Rave Kid Series

Spring 2022

Jungle pt3.

House \N Trance

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.

Selectabwoy's Old Skool Hardcore/Jungle/D&B Mixes

The Beyond Synth Family are back with another 90s Billboard Special. This time Andy, Mike, Florence and Marko take you on a trip to 1994.  On the charts, we see a brief return from Mariah Carey, and yet another box office tie-in from Bryan Adams, this time with friends Rod Stewart and Sting for The Three Musketeers. In contrast, the unsigned Lisa Loeb reached the charts with her ballad for the romantic comedy “Reality Bites” (due in part to her friendship with actor Ethan Hawke). The infamous R. Kelly made an appearance on the charts with a song that creepily foreshadowed his recent criminal convictions - not all is as it seems on the ‘94 Billboards! So if you want to hear the Family weigh in on yet another crazy year of hits (and misses) tune in to Beyond Synth: the best synthwave chat show there is!

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.

C H E R R Y Ft. Andy Cadaz [AC2™] - Mixtape - [ BREAKBEAT ] 2K16

This one's personal. 
Humour me for an hour or so and take a journey back to the early 90s, where my future love of jungle/D&B began. Before I had the courage and financial means to venture into indie record shops, I was seeking out breakbeat rave gems nestling on commercial dance compilations like Deep Heat and Thin Ice, watching toytown rave (doubtless resentfully) aired on TOTP, loving hoover noises on Dance Energy, picking up bargain 7” and cassette singles in Woolworths, HMV and Rival, and taping early Kickin, XL and Rising High records off my schoolmates. Although I’ve brushed some of the cheesier stuff under the carpet, this is an authentic selection of some all-time favourite tunes from back then, and it was an absolute joy to put together. Last track honours go to Acen's 'Close Your Eyes', the first track that had me shelling out the full £3.99 for the 12", included in its entirety for the wonderful final breakdown. 

Importantly, this mix reminded me of the time I had a compilation tape made for me by Lez, my Dad’s band manager, who understood precisely the kind of noisy futuristic music I was bang into. I must have been around 15. Opening with Baby Ford’s ‘Fetish’, it was the first place I heard Beltram’s ‘Energy Flash’, Spectrum’s ‘Brazil’, Techno Grooves ‘Christ!!!’ plus a load of other great Euro Techno. Damn, that mixtape has a lot to answer for, it was pure gold. RIP Lez, and Dad - this mix is for you.

My second retrospective voyage into the soundtrack favoured by my 16-year-old self - this time I had my sights firmly set on 1992.

Selectabwoy: Autobiography Of A Rave Kid Part III

Autobiography Of A Rave Kid Part III

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 V

Autobiography Of A Rave Kid Part V

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

Aquatic Jungle (Part Four)

* 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. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
