After two years of being bound to House I've stepped back into the Jungle for this 90 minute ish drum'n'bass mix. It's mostly steppy with tracks from DJ Trace, Kid Drama, Calibre and whole host of stuff on Doc Scott's 31 Recordings but it also includes some drum workouts from Sully, Paradox and DJ Trax, a dub roller from Jet Li and something a bit mellow from Nookie to round it off.

Back to the Jungle Jan 2022

I was first introduced to electronic music in the early 90's by the music of 808 State, KLF, the Deep Heat series and The Prodigy. I quickly started to build a collection of dodgy tape copies and recordings of live dj sets and radio shows while also starting a record collection that, 20 years later, is still incomplete! 

Influenced by the those tapes that spent most of their time in my walkman in the early 90's, Ratty @ Dance Planet, Slipmatt NYE 1992 @ Fantazia, LTJ Bukem 5 & 6, Swift and Zinc on Impact FM, the Hits The Decks series and a really bad recording of The Ragga Twins on Kiss FM around 91/92, my love for all things breakbeat developed into an obsession!

As the music evolved so did I with it and hardcore became, hardstep which became, techstep which became drum'n'bass. There was a brief Happy Hardcore moment in 1995 but a trip to Black Market Records on a cold November afternoon fixed that. 

I started djing on pirate radio in 1996. I have been a die hard drum'n'bass DJ/promoter/follower over the years but I have never lost sight of the music that got me into this whole culture and 20 years later I find myself still hunting for those ever elusive records!

All mixes are created using all original vinyl copies on SL1210's with a Vestax 2 channel mixer, no gimics or software!

Enjoy!
