Mix for Tasha on Rinse.FM - 04/12/23

Luke Vibert @ O Baile

First upload of 2024 and I'm back on the eclectic samples tip.  Damn, it's been a while… over three years since the reggae special.  I solemnly promised to never inflict this misery on myself again; but in truth, the break must have done me good - it's been thoroughly enjoyable. 

This one came about after a sustained period of listening to mid-90s jump up jungle (just for a change eh) and thinking how nice it would be to do a straight boom-bap mix with a few of the tunes sampled in them. I have an enduring love of hip hop - primarily the early 90s golden age through to the later Rawkus-era stuff, and a fair bit either side.  Back in the day we were as equally obsessed with it as we were jungle/DnB, and it got way more serious when I discovered DMC videos and the Fat Beats import mixtapes down at Purple Penguin, leading me in turn to discover the unparalleled joys of hip hop mixing, buying and stickering up countless double copies.  Therein lay a big issue for me when considering this mix: a straight hip-hop set should be done on the 1s and 2s, as god (or Primo, for fellow atheists) intended. Certainly not with ableton…  

Forced to come up with something more elaborate, and with an extensive, colour-coded spreadsheet completed, I duly threw a couple of hundred classic cuts, acapellas, instrumentals and a bunch of tangential samples in the blender - and here we are.  It's all hip hop this time - no more breakbeat/jungle reconstructions, I'm long done with that.  Above all else this is a tribute to the classic 4-track mixtapes I grew up with, but with enough sly references to jungle/D&B wedged in to keep the sample nerds happy.  Featured artists include KRS-One, Brandy, Mary J Blige, Wu-Tang, Def Squad, Mobb Deep, Biggie, DJ Quik, Ice Cube, Tribe, Digable Planets, Gang Starr, TLC, Big L, Kool G Rap and many more, plus a couple of eclectic interludes and the obligatory overblown intro.  99% of this sampled on numerous releases from the likes of No U-Turn, Emotif, Metalheadz, V/Philly Blunt/Chronic, Full Cycle/Dope Dragon, Frontline, Intalektive, Formation, Joker, Dread, yadda yadda.  

Please enjoy... downloads will be enabled soonish, reposts and comments much appreciated, as always.  

Special shouts to my fellow beat-lovers Olly, Ell & Ciaran, Caroline a.k.a. Mrs Selectabwoy, and all the sample spotters out there: the whosampled & FB jungle beardstroke crews, and a special mention for the newly-resurrected Rolldabeats forum. These mixes just wouldn't be the same without you guys. Big up!

Another one from the Selectabwoy vaults. This one wraps up my Dan Curtin trilogy: a final selection of sublime aural excellence from Cleveland's finest. Some fantastic earworms on here, for me, none better than 'Horizons Forgotten' from the legendary Apogee EP on Peacefrog, which burrowed itself solidly into my head for weeks around the time I was compiling this one. Big shout to @dan-curtin each and every time.

Sublove In the Mix on Galaxy Radio (03/12/1993)

We told you that Congo Natty aka Rebel MC was more than a legend and now it's time to prove it. For your listening pleasure the one and only Uncle Dugs (Rinse FM) has compiled a mix that takes the listener all the way through Mikail Tafari's career, from the early Rebel MC & Double Trouble days right up to the last few years. 

Seventy eight minutes charting the birth and development of Jungle, the mix works as a perfect taster for the forthcoming Congo Natty opus, "Jungle Revolution." With the buzz around first single "UK Allstars" still very much in the air and a record to follow which delivers on Tafari's reputation as a pioneer, a fearless social commentator and a righteous Rastaman, this potted history of his career  should be the perfect taster. Get it now before we take it down again - the wickedest sound!

Congo Natty Mix by Uncle Dugs

* 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 :)
