For the 28th instalment of our mix series, GAB is honoured to present @gunfingerfood , one of our favourite independent vinyl record labels and radio shows. Through a range of sublime mixes for platforms such as Bloop, Threads, Hoots TV, AAJA and a ridiculously large b2b with Earful of Wax on Late Night Shopper, Lex G has propelled Gunfinger Food forward as a prominent advocate of underground vinyl culture. The label’s two physical releases featuring Cyphon & Observ, Bobo and Pépe offer up high quality productions varying from breakbeat to electro. 

In the first half of his GAB guest mix, Lex G explores a range of underground styles, effortlessly blending current breakbeat gems with acid and electro heaters. But from the 40 min mark, the hardcore takes over. The incredibly humble Lex actually apologised for extending our standard hour-long session as he delved deeper and deeper into his collection of euphoric 90s hardcore. However, we’ve got a feeling that any listeners won’t be complaining. 

Big up to Gunfinger Food for this insane mix and for continuously supporting vinyl culture. Enormous love goes out to Ian Munro once again for delivering the sleekest of designs.

“The witching hour is a term that became popular in 1835 to define the time late at night when the powers of darkness are believed to be the strongest. According to the lore, it is during the witching hour that powers and supernatural beings are the most active. While Hamlet’s designated “witching time of night” was midnight; psychological literature records that the hours between midnight and 4:00 AM are the peak hours for reports of supernatural activity, with the hour between 3:00 and 4:00 being the strongest.”

The Witching Hour w/ Dan Newman & Mason James - 29/08/21

Thought we’d let you all soak up England’s footballing glory this weekend before smacking yas with GAB MIX 039 - an hour of pure fire from UKG connoisseur and all-round gent @djhurrell . 

With a back catalogue of outstanding mixes under his belt, including a Rinse Garage Hour and g mixes for Earful of Wax and Dim Sum Records, Hurrell has become one of the leading champions of UKG, both in the North and down in Bristol through his work with HighRise. Delving back into his older USBs, the Leeds-based DJ and producer has whipped up a stunning guest mix full to the brim with UKG gems. If you like ur garage this isn’t one to miss! 

Hurrell has also been grafting away in the studio with Peaky Beats and Pinder, recently releasing LS6001 under the trio’s Northern Division alias. The three-track masterclass in speed garage which features Spin City on the B-side is a must-cop! There might even be talk of a big old link up between the Leeds crews this summer :O

Extra Spicy’s third various artist's compilation, XTR003, is an all-Australian affair. This nine-track release features some of our favourite local producers and covers the full spectrum of bass music, from classic purist flavours to mutant genre cross-pollinations. 

Heavy, chopped-up breaks and massive bass stabs pervade 99 Nissan Patrol’s Ruffla, Mashup from Akul, and label owner Mincy’s Gnome Home. 

Fans of more stripped-down flavours will want to make a beeline for the UKG nostalgia of Why Didn’t You Mention It? by Myledo and Krypsis’ dark garage groove LoFi Rider. 

The final portion of the compilation raises the tempo. DJ SUNROOF gives a respectful nod to the past on Break The Mold, a jungle banger chock full of mangled breakbeats. 

Hardcore energy is merged with chaotic footwork sample manipulation and ghetto tech attitude on Say My Name from Floor Twenty, while UNKLE SYD channels 1992 warehouse energy on Sydtopia. End User License Agreement rounds out proceedings with a heady, dubwise roller that focuses on spacious echoes and big sub-bass. 

XTR003 proves that you don’t need to look beyond Australia’s backyard for big talent.
