1992 Hardcore Mix 14

When my friend Vali from @parallaxrecordings asked if I wanted to drop another Yaman Productions tribute mix for @peoples-station I was all over the idea! Last time around I did a tribute to the 1993 crop of mixes, pulling together tracks from that year's selection of mixtapes. This time around I've focused on the 1994 mix sets, taking four tracks from each of the five dj's that featured that year, and running through them sequentially, like this: Micky Finn -> Randall -> DJ Hype -> Peshay -> LTJ Bukem

A super fun selection, and one for all the true heads; this is a great crossover between hardcore and jungle, right as that whole transformation was happening. Enjoy!

Yaman 1994 Hardcore Jungle (Mix for People's Station)

I blame my dads DIY attitude to everything... Right down to home surgery when he put a hot needle through his toenail to release the pressure on his cartoon-sized toe after dropping a sheet of ply on his foot!!! That inbuilt way of thinking/doing led me to believe that I could replace my faulty mixer channel fader by myself. Armed with a cheap soldering kit I proceeded to fuck my mixer which now has no left channel fader at all and now needs to go to an expert for a proper fixing. 

In celebration, I dug through the racks for some niceness. Shouts out to all the crew - Sharma, Growpot, Neil B, Darkeye, Andy Pav, Roadblock, Suzy, Prophecy, Sandi, Badrum, Clivo, Alex Corton, Buller, T.Badman, Radom One, Ear, Da Ruff, Bittersheng, Deejay LoK, Asperatus, Sharky, Maffoster, Bigbang, SBVRSV1, Russ XS and anyone else that listens in.

Zero chat on this one as I don't usually have much to say and just get stuck in to the music and digging. So I thought cut the waffle as I say the same thing each week.

* 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 :)
