Blech 20.1

Tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-262--asc

"The Depths Of Space is my debut album for Over/Shadow. This mix is a selection of my own tracks (including one remix) that showcase the 8 tracks from the album, a track from each of my previous Over/Shadow releases, plus a healthy mix of tracks from my own label, Spatial. I've gone for key blends where possible, and I wanted to feature a selection that encompasses everything to me that makes atmospheric jungle/d&b the special genre that it's always been, with a 2023 twist on production techniques. Enjoy" - ASC

Third (and last) of my techno trilogy completion exercise. I've had a hectic few months at work and the Black Dog have really got me through it, and not for the first time. I've been playing various early albums and these mixes on repeat, even set up my remaining turntable to give the legendary Rising High EPs a spin. Long have I adored their cutesy, intricate sound since my first encounter with them in 1992; my write-ups on the other two mixes expand on this a little. Long story short, if you're unfamiliar with their work I'd emphatically suggest that you should let them into your life. 
Electronic music with real heart and soul.

Black Dog Productions Mix Part III

Black Dog Productions Mix Part III (09/03/2023)

We are finally walking out of the gloom and doom of January with Spring firmly in view. To give us that extra jolt and wipe off them cobwebs we have reached out to drum & bass and jungle master Tim Reaper to put a shock to our system.
Tim is without doubt one of the striving forces in pushing a new wave of drum & bass and jungle in London and beyond. Alongside other names like Sully, Kloke, Stones Taro and Coco Bryce, Tim has brought a old school sound to an entirely new generation - sounds similar to alumni like Source Direct & Commix but with a new twist. With closing out 2024 with his new album "In Full Effect" with Australian producer Kloke on Hyperdub to much critical acclaim, the name Tim Reaper has never been bigger! So with that being said we are very honoured to have him join us for our series. For Tim's mix he takes us on an hour and half deep dive that he describes as the more chilled side to D&B and Jungle - but don't be fooled this mix definitely has a bit of power behind it. We had a brief chat with Tim about the mix and what hes gotta coming up this year.

Phonica Mix Series 128: Tim Reaper

Sounds from the grass roots of jungle and drum & bass with London scene heroes Rupture - featuring selections from residents Mantra & Double O.

Surgeon @ The Orbit, Morley, Leeds - 1997

Here's the second BDP mix. Felt compelled to get on with this as there are some beautiful tracks I left out of the first part. Edit: some extra words in 2024 - I've revisited this mix and its predecessor countless times, and reckon they're among the best things I've done, insofar as presenting some of my favourite music in a respectful way; this is all I ever wanted to achieve. I discovered three BD remixes while compiling this second part, which are almost piss-takingly good, along with more gems from Parallel, Trainer and Bytes. (Most of my faves from Temple Of Transparent Balls appear on Part 1, which made me sad to not get to play them again, but rules are rules). There's so much fine detail to absorb in their early work, and it doesn't get any better than the Rising High EPs. Collectively forming a mini-album of some of the finest electronic music in existence, these have accompanied me over the years from vinyl and CD to tape to minidisc to ipod, and I must have listened to them a thousand times. The two lead tracks are here: Balil's Parasight is a prime example of TBDs effortless fusion of dense acidic techno with a beguiling middle eastern flavour, and as for Atypic's Otaku ... well, no words can do it justice. The proto-garage beat alone merits a paragraph of chin-stroking. It could only be followed with the adorable 3/4 Heart, Bytes' closing track, the blend pretty much reprised from Eclectic Mix Part 1 as I couldn't find a better way to do it.

Mr. Shakir is a WMU Bronco and after he left, I would pick him up at the Kalamazoo Amtrak station for him to bang classic Sunday nite Alpha parties at Electric Avenue in the Fall of 1989.

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 :)
