Old Skool Tunes (not on Youtube)

From: System X - Got To Believe / Metamorphasis
Released: 1994
Label: 3rd Eye Records
EYE-04

An absolute tune from Mr Parkes. I think most would go for Metamorphasis on the B side, but its all about Got To Believe for me. The Chic sample is unbelievable. Its incredible how Rupert went from Amen rollers like these to meticulous break science nearer to the end of the millennium - one thing he definitely kept consistent throughout was quality.

Obscure, frantic hardcore number with cheeky Steve Poindexter/Jungle Brothers samples :D - referenced somewhere in the first 10mins of this https://soundcloud.com/selectabwoy/eclectic-mix-techno-edition-30052018?in=selectabwoy/sets/mixes-for-the-sample-spotters

Liquid - Sweet Harmony (Remix) [XL 1992]

Can't believe this isn't on YT. One of the highlights of the outstanding Face back cat, the darker B-side mix of Wax Doctor's darkcore masterpiece.

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 :)
