Stuck this on after getting back from Underworld & Dust Brothers at the Astoria in 94. Choons.

This started it all for me, way back in 94 when I started University in Derby. The the thing that makes it even better is that my 14 yr old boy has just heard it and loves it as well….full circle❤️

this mix was played at so many backroom seshs

025 - No other mix CD out has made me want to wake up to it as much as this one. Think slowly rising from a dream/hangover with the best sound possible and that's about it. Both discs on Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure open with absolutely gorgeous tracks, Gus Gus's 'Believe' being an example of this. Furry Phreak's 'Soothe (Chicane Jazz)' dives deeper into the sound before the cd moves on to intelligent breaks, early trance and climaxes in what must be one of the most beautiful electronic tracks ever made... Hybrid's Symphony. This isn't just music you would wake up too, it's so good, you'd probably happily die to it as well. Another CD which raises the bar and takes it's own thrown on the Classic Mix CD series, and a fine choice for our quarter century episode. Turn it up... and enjoy the mix.

A seminal selection for our 175 episode. Featuring a CD has that mystic quality sitting on the store shelves of HMV or whichever record store you shopped in. With unforgettable artwork and a sound that has gone onto secure it's classic status. And although I didn't buy this first release... I had a subconscious feeling it was something very special indeed.

Thanks to everyone for sharing this, especially the Facebook followers and good friend Ross Haswell. Oh and a special shout out to Paul for reminding me of this one!

Journeys By DJ Vol. 4

527 - Journeys By DJ Vol. 4 mixed by John Digweed (1994)

This is a recreation of the famous tape recorded live from Renaissance, Venue 44, and given out exclusively to members on a subsequent night. It has been remastered and kept true to the original, with just a little reworking and that big chunky 'Tape' sound, without the quality loss :)
I hope you enjoy it, as always it's great to hear your comments.

Sasha Live At Renaissance 1st Birthday Part 1

* 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 :)
