Love Mouly & Lucida, they were hugely underrated

I never went to Speed either, but if it’s anywhere near as good as this mix, I’ve really missed out. Lovely selection man, Big up 🙌🏼

Big big mix. Speed, logical progession sessions, promised land vibes a run. 👍💯🔥

Dreamy. This is such great music to work too.

One of my favourite mixes I've put together over the years. This shows the diversity of Rupert Parkes mid 90s work. This mix touches on his many aliases and remix work, as well as a couple of rarities.

Selectabwoy: Blue Note Volume Six

Blue Note Volume Six

Amazingly it's been 8 years since vol 4! Since then not only have I filled in a few more gaps in my Dillinja collection, a bunch of his golden unreleased tracks from the 90s have since been released on Deep Jungle, Dom & Roland Productions and V Recordings.

So it felt like the right time for another installment - the longest yet at 2 hours (there was a lot to cram in!).

The sheer volume of work he put out in the 90s is staggering - there's still a few records I'm yet to collect and I've been at it for years. And imagine you're that good that your unreleased stuff from the 25 years ago still sounds as good, if not better than anything produced today? Legend.

Peshay - Live In Berlin - December 1997

This part 1 of a a very special two mix set dedicated to classic drum n' bass sounds, reimagining nights at two of the most influential London clubs of all time: Speed and Metalheadz. This mix focuses on imagining a night at Speed at the Mars Bar, Soho ... a night I never went to!

From the blog post:

Taking place on a Thursday as well as being located right in the heart of London instead of a massive warehouse on the outskirts meant that Speed attracted a different, more mature crowd, including curious fans of other styles of electronic music as well as people from the music industry. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this night to the development of the lighter side of drum n’ bass – it was a testing ground for new sounds that could then be taken on the road around the UK (and the world!) on the weekends. It was a place where people from the scene – producers, dj’s, a&r’s, hangers-on – could connect, interact and plan collaborations. It was somewhere that this sound could take root and grow, away from the pressure cooker environment of the big raves, where thousands of teenagers wanted the latest mental sounds. It was also a crucial venue for spreading the sound beyond the existing scene, a place where people who would never dream of going to a One Nation or AWOL or Roast could be turned on to high-speed breakbeats.

Rupture with Mantra & Decibella - 13 February 2023

Welcome to episode 486 of the Everyday Junglist Podcast!

Thank you THUGWIdoW for your mix on episode 485!

Episode 486 brings us a mix from the boss of Devon's Road Recordings, Rhi Spect!

Rhi's mix has a beautiful flow and great track selection, combining atmospherics with tuff amen tunes and some forthcoming bits from Devon's Road Recordings! Rhi Spect smashed it!

Let's meet our dj for episode 486, Rhi Spect:

1. Who was my biggest musical influence?  - 
It's really really hard to pick one influence! Unless i can just say my family - as I've raved with brother, who is a sick 93 hardcore dj (DJ Hijack) and sister from being a teenager to this day and we've discovered new music together, gone through changes in our music taste together, plus my brother bought me my Technics for my birthday, which was the best bday present ever and was the start of my djing journey, so that was a game changer.  My dad was also a massive influence for me musically, he plays harmonica & saxophone in blues bars, festivals & carnival every year and is self-taught. I mean come on, family has gotta be my biggest musical influence as I probably wouldn't be that into music at all if it wasn't for growing up with music surrounding me.

If it has to be an artist it would be DBridge I think... but it's so difficult as there's so many artists I rate! 
Dbridge is one of my biggest influences, from being part of Bad Company who made some of the best drum & bass tracks which I will always love, probably as they were the tunes I first bought and started mixing with and still do, to his own releases which for me, are always soulful, dark and moody. One of my favourite tunes ever is Inner Disbelief, proper moving, but with that bad bassline that you have to wait for and then today running Exit.

2. Tell us about anything new and upcoming for Devons Road Recordings
, We have just released the tune Just u & me on limited edition 10" dubplate, we have Volume 2 of Time and Motion coming out in April and exciting releases coming from Bomb Shelter Crew and Anti Traxx later this year plus we are looking forward to more parties at Four Quarters in Peckham, SE London where all the crew get to test out their dubs! The next one is on Thursday April 6th and it's free entry.

3. I'm having a bit of insomnia. What's the best sound to fall asleep to, ocean waves or a spring rain storm?

Luckily, I don't get insomnia, but if I needed some sound to help me sleep, I'd choose ocean waves. I think that would be more calming than lively spring rain!

Rhi Spect-Everyday Junglist Podcast-Episode 486

From 1994-1997 Fabio hosted a seminal radio show on Kiss FM. He would alternate each show with Grooverider and it was the first time jungle was played on legal radio. It was essential listening for music that wouldn't normally get played out, or even heard again! These shows were a window into another world and fresh 90-minute TDKs on hot standby was standard procedure. 

For the second hour of the show, Fabio would announce "The Jazzstep coming up next...", and after a few months it became "The Legendary Jazzstep..." - this was big!

The music was jazz-influenced and driven by funk breaks, which tended to be quite loose with the patterns. It was a golden era before things got stripped back to more surgical timings seen with liquid, it also made the sound feel more organic and musical.

This mix attempts to recreate the feeling of these shows with dreamy sax, epic keyboard solos, cool double bass and the funkiest of breakbeat grooves. Featuring music from Carlito, Subject 13, Hidden Agenda, Primary Motive and early Creative Source - some of the finest drum and bass ever made.

It was recorded from a mixture of both vinyl and digital, and it wouldn't be right for the Jazzstep show if there wasn't a couple of dubplates in there as well: a very jazzy something forthcoming on Make or Break from Deeptropix, and an unreleased collab track from Sekl @sekldnb and Rough Territory @Rough-Territory

Even during the peak era of the jungle, this music was considered quite a niche sound, but Fabio was a pioneer with a true passion and love for the music. Big respects to Fabio for doing his own thing and giving the music a platform for all to appreciate.
