An extended, unedited 90 minutes garage mix recorded in one take - apologies for a couple of wobbly transitions, I haven't played some of these tracks in YEARS. 

I mixed this for Rinse FM's Garage Hour show, but was having so much fun playing the classics and digging the crates for the less obvious tracks that I wanted to carry on a bit!

If you were a UK Garage DJ in the late 90's you'll hopefully appreciate this. These are the tracks many people forget about, and it was this darker side of the 2 step garage sound that stemmed genres like Grime and Dubstep in their early stages. 

A proper mix for the DJ's and heads alike to enjoy, and for the uneducated of you out there to get your ears around the kind of stuff I was playing in my very early days as a bedroom DJ.

Structure Vs Agency Exclusive Mix #02 - Chimping

Hello, I’m launching a new site dedicated to provide you with new music that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. There will be 6 parts, and every one of them will be free for members of the site.

This first track, called Arc, was one of my first experiments with some new analogue synths recently - the Moog Minituar, and the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08. I wanted to make something smooth and melodic which would work for my club sets, and would be mixable, but nothing too peak time intense, something a little softer. I think the heart of the track really all came down to squeesing the main riff with those lovely analogue filters!

If you would like to download this track, and receive promos of the rest of the new music before it goes public, then just click on the download button on the soundcloud player and all will be explained. In return for your email you will receive all 6 parts of the series for free, and they will not be released on any other platforms.

Thanks to Rabbithole for the excellent art work!

Plastician Presents - The Wave Pool MMXV

In 2015 a style of music came to light that was seemingly spawned out of Soundcloud. This sound is something created by producers with an ear for emotive, ethereal soundscapes, often drawing influence from rap productions. As big as the basslines are on much of the tracks in this mix, it's apparent that a lot of these songs are not built with the club in mind. With producers as young as 14 in this mix, it's pretty easy to see why that would be the case given many of them have never stepped foot inside a nightclub. 
In 2015 it's easier to get hold of a copy of FL Studio or Ableton than it is to get your hands on a set of CDJ's, so not only are many of these tracks not built for the club, many of them are not built with the DJ in mind either. Intros with odd numbers of beats, and even intros with filter rises all the way to the drop are not uncommon. But as awkward as it can be to physically mix these tracks without the aid of pre planned ableton sessions or some form of bpm locking, it is a sound that cries out to be recognised on a global scale, away from the comfort of Soundcloud, and therefore has really grabbed my attention in the past 18 months. 
I put this mix together to highlight some of the amazing talents and tracks that I've managed to pick up mostly on Soundcloud or on Bandcamp. This is a truly independent movement far removed from the mainstream music moguls. It is music built in the purest of senses. I present this mix to you in hope of opening your ears to some of the most exciting producers I've come across sprawling Soundcloud on the hunt for raw talent. 
Salute to all of the producers, label heads, channels and the listeners on this one. Full tracklisting below - be sure to do some digging of your own after listening and be sure to support the artists by buying, downloading and reposting their amazing tracks - many of which are available to download for free on Soundcloud or Bandcamp.

I present to you, The Wave Pool.

"There's a sense that, when being asked to talk about race, after you've written a book, you're supposed to have the answers,  you're supposed to have the solution; and while you're having the solution, you're supposed to cater for the emotional needs of the people listening to you."

Today a new poll revealed that private renters are abandoning the Conservatives across the UK's 60 most marginal constituencies. Our latest Labour Housing Podcast, recorded at Labour Party Conference, digs into private renting and Labour's pledge to mobilise a new generation of renters unions. 
Labour's Shadow Housing Minister Sarah Jones is joined by Jacob Mukherjee from Generation Rent, journalist and commentator Ellie-Mae O'Hagan, Katya Nasim - a founding member of London Renters Union.
