'Sup. I've emerged from retirement for a detailed exploration of reggae samples in jungle/D&B :)

A bit like the hip-hop & ‘give me a break’ samples mixes, this one's a laidback affair without any breakbeat/reconstruction stuff, but it covers the gamut of dub, reggae, roots & ragga (with some easter eggs chucked in), so I figured it can be part of the eclectic series. Note that I've taken pains here not to duplicate anything from the previous mixes, so if you get to the end and think (for example) 'where the fuck was Chase The Devil?', hopefully you'll trawl back through the playlist to find it.

In all honesty it was great fun to pull together, and I owe thanks to Matt (aka Rollin) over at Dogs on Acid for planting the idea. To divert briefly, this rekindling of my love for reggae came directly off the back of a mix I recently did for the Dubs On Acid Collective, an amazing charity project with some seriously talented guys. More news on that soon. I'm really chuffed to have been involved and strongly recommend checking out Volume One for a taste of what's to come: https://keepingtrack.bandcamp.com/album/dubs-on-acid

Back to the mix, and time to big up the Rolldabeats sample hunters once again as I shamelessly raided 90% of the tracklist from their forum - Phokus, Haste, DJ Dara, Ornette, The Manipulator, Mikeeee, JJ, Ian S, Dee Jay Budd, Dan Vye, Droid, Logic, Force Is Electric, JVXP, Serum, Mr Sensi, Blah, Caedo261 and probably a bunch of others I’ve forgotten (sorry), plus Jason 0=0 and the jungle beardstrokers over on FB.

Hope you enjoy the mix, there’s 80-odd tunes and I can't be bothered with a tracklist so just whack it on innit - if you want an ID just shout. As ever, comments and reposts are much appreciated, spread the love, cheers <3

Eclectic Samples Mix (Reggae Edition)

Eclectic Samples Mix (Reggae Edition) - 21/01/2021

From a bygone era where tunes were on big round pieces of plastic and the humble home studio took up your spare room and bankrupted you. 

Producer slowly coming out of retirement

Based out of North East Thailand with roots in the Canadian Rockies, Mr Cris is driven by a profound passion for the Liquid/Soul side of Drum and Bass. His beats transcend borders, blending international influences into a seamless sonic journey.

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 :)
