This mix is so ruthless my kitchen just cleaned itself up.

Never heard this Rood Project thing, what a song!

Love the write up and the memories! Many similar parallels to my formative years :) Wicked mix my selecta...

I had an American SNES and there was a wee tab inside the cartridge space which if you snapped it off allowed use of Japanese cartridges... Haha, all those SF2 Turbo and Super Mario Kart Sunday comedown sessions with the lads and a bag of Northern Lights...

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)

* 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 :)
