Some meandering words...

Whenever Glastonbury rolls around I am reminded of two key things: my Dad, and my old rave tapes. It is possible I have attached a disproportionate significance to the latter, given that attending the festivals in 92/93/94 were all-consuming, life-changing experiences, but the tapes I bought there remain as the only physical artifacts from those halycon days. The first two years I got in free with my Dad's band (K-Passa, if you're interested; they're still going), and so I would often end up wandering the festival alone without a plan, chatting to randoms and just soaking up the atmosphere.  1992 is strongest in my memory - I recall my Dad shoving me into the band's transit van at the start of the journey; this contained both the band and several crates of K cider liberated from a student ball they'd played the night before. Father wisely opted to drive solo in the family car and was probably fairly amused to see his 16-year-old son emerge from the conveyance into the festival around lunchtime, extremely drunk and almost delirious in his need for a piss. And so it began. K-Passa were ejected from the backstage area by teatime in advance of Van Morrison's arrival, at which point I was amused to see a few middle-aged ladies behind a crash barrier waiting for the secret guest, Tom Jones. I don't recall any knickers being thrown at that point. I was lucky enough to see a few big name acts, but oddly, after cross-referencing against the three line-up posters, I can't pin them. Could have sworn I saw 808 State, or some other 'stadium techno' group - The Orb maybe? Inexplicably the only ones I recall for sure were the grunge band L7 (awesome, but shhhh... we don't talk about that), Galliano, and US3 at the jazz stage ... or was it Oui 3 ... fuck's sake. Look, the real holy grail for this rave kiddy was hanging around the various rave stalls throughout the lazy days, and then after the main stage curfews, dancing way into the small hours without the need for pharmaceutical assistance ... ok that came later ... I was just high on the vibe, man. 

You didn't ask, but the Glastonbury rave tapes I acquired were:

DJ Ace "We 'R' Hardcore"
Dave Angel at Tokyo Sex Whale, Bristol
Fabi Paras at Tokyo Sex Whale, Bristol
Some Carl Cox double pack (forgotten)
Obsession NYE 93/94 - Trevor Rockliffe, Easygroove, Joey Beltram 
DJ Sy at Club Adrenalin
Ellis Dee at Club Adrenalin

Why am I talking about all of this? My tastes back then were all over the place - hardcore/jungle obviously, techno, breakbeat, indie, grunge, jazzy hip hop, gangsta rap, ambient, dub ... but the specific Dave Angel tape above has become a central symbol of those glorious raving days of summers gone by. Jazzy, melodic electronica, sunny, positive and uplifting, transitioning into headbanging techno. I already did one tribute to Dave's unique style back in lockdown ... don't mind telling you I've played it countless times since and for me it's hard to top, but I've had a fair crack at it here. Part three is waiting in the wings. If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Enjoy the mix.

Dub Phizix & MC Strategy - Knowledge Magazine Mix

* 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 :)
