My Life In Sound

The Crane - Source Direct

Source Direct - Complexities

In the driving  seat for the next mix in our series is the @RinseFM regular Jay Carder. 

The London-based DJ and producer has built a name for herself with her genre-spanning eclectic taste and energetic sets. Jay has an uncanny ability to whip any crowd into a frenzy with anything from Trip-Hop, techno, uk bass, breaks, and jungle. 

Jay’s debut release ‘Eva’s Stoned’ dropped earlier this year on @Kassiansound @FauxPoly label which catapulted her name further, gaining her support from @BBC6music

For this instalment we’re fortunate to have a live recording taken from her set last year at the Lighthouse stage. 
A late night journey through stripped back garage, techno and deep breakbeat cuts. It’s an educational journey and a clear demonstration why Jay is one of the scene’s most sought after DJs. 

Catch Jay Friday night  on the light house stage for the @JiveTalkDjs and friends take over. 

Enjoy! 

See you in the woods.

Of all the years, 2025 has been one of them...

Musically, it's been a period of refreshment, reflection, and shifting perspectives. Living here in Glasgow for the past year and everything that's done to and for me, I can't help but reflect on the past that built me into who I am. These tunes I've taken a crack at reworking all reflect certain moments of my life, some of which are more significant to me now than they were at the time. 

Each edit is my effort to capture these feelings and translate them into drum & bass. There's so much crossover between hip-hop & dnb that hasn't yet been explored, and I am constantly driven by the need to fuse the two. Not because no one has, but because no one has like me (there's that hip-hop bravado).

Anyway, on the technical side of things, the usual process of finding the original samples, recreating the loops, and dropping in bits of the vocal to taste 🥘

Free and available till Bandcamp tokens are gone, then it's back to Patreon www.patreon.com/winslowxyz

Love you all. See you when I see you. Enjoy the music.
