Law - 94/95 Jungle Mix - September 2022

Woke up to 6000 followers so I thought I'd do an upload to mark the occasion.

It's unseasonal, but humour me. For the fourth 'Summer of '94' mix I wanted to get away from the mild beardstrokiness of preceding editions and bring it squarely back to the music I was hearing, buying and loving that summer. Obvious I know - but it never ceases to amaze me how music fixes memories in the mind. Forgive the stream of thought, but this selection takes me from summertime house parties in the posh suburbs, my final trip to Glastonbury (cheers Dad for the VIP privileges and the lift home, RIP x) ... to a two-week family camping holiday in France, soundtracked with a legendary DJ Sy cassette (acquired from aforementioned festival) and Dextrous' outstanding Time To Move/Rapid and the EZ Rollers 12" on repeat (freshly bought and hastily taped off while packing). All of this interspersed with Roni & Krust's regular shows on Galaxy Radio and live at Ashton Court ... and the girls, fuck's sake don't get me started, what it was to be 18 ... then into the Autumn with the Dreamscape XII tape pack, starting Foundation Art at UWE and meeting fellow junglist aficionado Olly G and his little bro Ell. Mate, weren't those just the best times? Must give a shout into the void to our alumni (lol) Chas, Toby, Donna & Nic and the hilarious double act of South African junglist Andy and his Spanish mate Damien - this was back in the pre-internet days of Chinese-whispered song IDs, and I can't forget Andy's stoned enthusiasm for 'Cool Fresh Air', 'Good Vibrations', 'Cool Runnings' and of course the killer 'she said the jungle, came alive and took it'... all present and correct in this mix. God I could talk endlessly about it; and you probably don't need to know about all the activities this music soundtracked - Mike M driving us to Weston-Super-Mare for some of the worst chavvy grab-a-granny nights I've been to, concussing myself running into a patio door (classic), watching endless Steven Seagal videos, playing SF2 on the SNES until sunrise. But I'm sure you can relate in some way? :)

Cheers everyone for all the support, comments, reposts etc, and as ever enjoy the mix!

Summer Of '94 Jungle Selection (Part 4)

(Before I start on the main event, it's exactly six years to the day that I got up at 5am to assemble the first Eclectic (Jungle) Samples mix on my phone. Oddly, I was reminded of this while blearily looking at my phone after the neighbours' screaming effing kids woke me up at 5am. Anyway, 25/11/2016 was a Friday too so this feels like a special occasion to me, and I want to send a great big shout to my pal Olly for listening through the mix with me all those years ago. If you've not heard it then I'm going to be bold and suggest that you might like to, and if you have then why not revisit? 
Do it for me ;)

----------------------------------------------------
It's a Champion Ting. This is the first in a quadrilogy of mixes that follow on chronologically from the Summer of '94 series. There's been a heavy emphasis on summertime jungle with both those, the Summer of '95, and Back to Brighton St. mixes - a tribute to the Xmas '94 period is way overdue, and here it begins. 
Ruffneck Ting's 'Champion Ting' event* at Bristol Trinity Centre, 10/12/1994, was the first real jungle night I went to; that, and their subsequent 'Tequila Ting' event* at Lakota in Jan '95 really left their mark on me. I mean, "Selektor Bwoy". Man, it's impossible to put into words what the vibe was like then - jungle was just, SO jungle hehe - so I've assembled four mixes to do the talking. Every tune here sparks memories like it was yesterday. Massive shout again to the @ruffneck-ting crew and to everyone that made these nights so awesome. Big love <3

It's A Champion Ting (Part One)

I was honoured to be asked by Mantra and Double O to warm up room  1 at Rupture's 16th birthday last month on 19th November, alongside a full line up of some of the best DJ's, MC's and producers in the scene!
It was daunting, to say the least, but I did it and, after a wave of pure anxiety I came off the turntables smiling and proud that I had done a pretty good job! :D
 
It's a little late, but, for those that missed it or couldn't make it, here is my 93/94 all vinyl vibe promo mix that I recorded at home a month before the gig..needless to say I was shitting my pants; of course, I changed a few tunes along the way running up to the gig!
Music is such a HUGE part of my life, I love it and can't live without it. I am so compassionate about music it that it sometimes consumes me, to the point of intense worry that I feel I should stop mixing..but I have turned a corner after Rupture and I have gained that passion again <3 

Thank you to my beautiful Rupture family, ALL friends, ALL loved ones and ALL the beautiful dance floor massive for keeping it real and friendly. I love each and every one of you.
Slushy rant over :) and here's tracklist below, a few wobbles along the way, but that's love  ;) <3 xxx

2. Nut-E-1 - Liquid Affray
3. Future Sound of Hardcore - Promised Land

KLYNCH - Rupture 16th Birthday debut promo mix (all vinyl)

On with the Champion Ting series and here's the almost impossibly ruffer Part Two. So many personals crammed in here it's not even funny, and accordingly I had little choice but to finish up with the double-bill of Fantasy and Back 2 Life. I could bang on about every track, but I'm supposed to be working, so see you in the comments! BIG UP.

It's A Champion Ting (Part Three)

Penultimate mix of the year is this seminal early '95 compilation curated by the mighty DJ Randall. A mixtape by the man himself apparently does exist, but I've never seen any trace of it, so once again I've made my own. This one's been on my to-do list since doing the Jungle Renegades 2 mix three years ago - https://soundcloud.com/selectabwoy/selectabwoys-jungle-renegades-2-mix - both these albums (and the excellent Renegade Selector comps that preceded them) give a really nice, well-rounded snapshot of the music of the era. Hope you enjoy listening as much as I did making it. Big up the too hot to handle, the Randall, maaaaan!

Selectabwoy: Jungle Renegades 1

Selectabwoy's Jungle Renegades 1 Mix

Guest jungle set by Rumbleton for Juncture Music Octover 30th, 2020

Rumbleton - Juncture Guest Mix Oct 30th 20

* 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 :)
