Settle Down - Overgrown (Carnival Mix)

LONDON JUNGLE

Settle Down - London Jungle

Settle Down made 2023 his own. And with an ever higher purpose, he strides into 2024 in his now trademark inimitable style with a proper double A 12” in the shape of ‘The Special’ and ‘Twos s On A Pack Of Ten’.
They mark the second foray on the artists newly minted label, SDWN. And they are also the first Settle Down release since his slew of debut releases last year, and signify the beginning of what’s about to be a sonic assault from a prolific and dedicated artist.
With these tracks already on dub for some time, and now finally to be released into the wild, both sides have seen heavy rotation from a who’s who of discerning DJs, featuring in a host of high profile sets, and look set to cause further damage in the near future.
2023 was quite the introduction to Settle Down. But in 2024 Settle Down is looking to raise the bar even higher, and SDWN002 is just the start of what’s to come.

SETTLE DOWN - TWOS ON A PACK OF TEN

SETTLE DOWN - THE SPECIAL

From listening to pirate radio recordings, putting on illegal parties and working for one of the UK’s original rave promoters, Greg Hepworth, aka Settle Down, has always had roots in the foundations of UK dance music. 

Settle Down’s 30 year journey began when the sounds of Fantazia drifted into his childhood bedroom at the age of 10. After wearing out cassettes of pirate radio recordings and immersing himself in a growing culture, what followed was putting on illegal raves across the South Coast and packing tapes for Dreamscape, before crossing over to Creator and releasing for Metalheadz and Reinforced as 'Ulterior Motive' and reinventing himself as 'Settle Down'.

From fan to facilitator to maker. Voyage is a documentation of Settle Down's 30 year journey through UK breakbeat culture. Presented as a recording of a 90’s rave cassette mix, it chronicles the journey through house, breakbeat, hardcore and jungle and the influences that make up these genres, a love letter to the past and an ode to the vibe. 

Voyage will be released on a limited edition mixtape cassette, 12” vinyl and digitally mixed and unmixed single tracks alongside some limited edition merchandise.

VOYAGE MIXTAPE - SIDE A

Settle Down has always just wanted to be at the rave. As the distant sounds of Fantazia 92 rung its way into the impressionable 10 year old’s bedroom window, the journey begun. Then Dreamscape and Slipmatt on tape. It was done. 

Music built on the foundations of endlessly chasing Jungle and Hardcore, a love fostered since the early 90’s; Settle Down has needed to get this out for a long time. Back to basics, back to the source, back to how it all begun. This is music that makes you feel like being in the rave. Escape, excitement, expression, a journey. This is how it’s written, this is how it sounds. 

Listen to Settle Down and be in the rave. Listen to Settle Down and feel your hair stand on end. Listen to Settle Down and be wherever you want to be, do whatever you want to do, feel however you want to feel. This is Settle Down.
