Middle Eastern or Indian vibes. Nice sound.

Not a sound I usually like but this bangs.

It's been a while since I've dropped a mix, so here's one I made in late June as something to listen to when I (finally!) got the chance to go back to America in July and visit my family. It's nothing all that conceptual, it's just a selection of some of my favorite dubstep tracks from the last couple years, rolled together. Watch your bassbins!

Dubstep Mixes

Bass is the Teacher [All-Vinyl Dubstep Mix]

Penultimate upload of the year (maybe). Doesn't seem hugely appropriate to post this on such a freezing bastard of a day, but it's next in the queue. I've had an enforced hiatus from mixing of late, for which I can only blame my employers, but hopefully this will make up for it. 

So then. 21 golden era jungle bangers to get things warming: all of them gems, no need to highlight anything, apart from Selassie Sound on its second Summer of '95 outing (the rules don't apply to that one) and that different mix of Living For The Night, does anyone know where it came from? Apart from iTunes/Spotify it doesn't seem to exist, not heard it on any mixes from back in the day. Weird.

Summer Of '95 (Part Four)

Final mix of the year is my take on the mighty Jungle Massive 4: Jungle Versus The Hardsteppers, the last instalment of the legendary series from Labello Blanco/PWL International ... big ups to scene legend Jimmy Low (aka Macka Brown/MC Kann) and the artical OJ himself, Pete Waterman...

Four years ago I did my own festive mix of Jungle Massive Volume 2 (https://on.soundcloud.com/kadto). Just four days after that I had the files set up to have a crack at Volume 4, but it's taken all this time to get my shit together sufficiently to tackle the 32 tracks on offer. I've had the official Gachet & Micky Finn mixtapes up for a while, so why bother? Well - for one, the mixes themselves aren't without their flaws ... but beyond that, I wanted to mash all the tunes up together in a continuous mix, rather than observing the original hardstep/jungle split. I'm not sure it ever made sense to me really - I guess you can retrospectively substitute 'drum & bass' for 'hardstep' in the sense that there's more ragga/soundclash flavour in the junglist half, but nowadays this is splitting hairs. It's a jungle compilation pure and simple, and easily one of the best going. 

Man, there's some brilliant tunes on it. Plenty of specials: 'Slow Down', 'Back To My Roots', '9mm' and 'Theme From Daddy Armshouse' stand out, all absolutely wicked and genuinely exclusive to the LP. (It just occurred to me that - unless you know otherwise - Nookie's effort is the earliest example of swingbeat/clownstep, a slice of pure class built around the b-line from Aaron Neville's 'Hercules'). Add to that a shit-ton of excellent VIPs including the superb Sky (DJ Kane VIP) from Just Jungle, Monk's Nu Jack City, Marv Cain's Gunman, Aphrodite's Bomber and MTS's Baad Boy Sound. Beyond that, the 'regular' tunes in there hold several of my all-time faves among their number - Steppaz Anthem! Vintage Wash! Roll On, Crisis, Legalise, The Dreamer ...and then Final Chapta and Babylon Trace Part 2... Labello weren't messing around, this is a filler-free zone. The selection also forced me into doing the Arsonist/Fire mash-up I've been daydreaming about for years, keep an ear out for that one :)  

Enough chat, enjoy your Xmases and I'll catch you in the new year <3

American in Berlin! I've been a dj since 1997, playing across a wide range of dance music genres, as you can see from the variety of mixes. I love it all! 

Want recommendations? Drop me a DM and I'll hook you up. 

I sometimes play at Berlin clubs, but mostly I am a hardcore vinyl collector and bedroom mixer. Check out my blog at www.sonicrampage.org/blog
