Encapsulated Energy Mixes

proper music

EE4 11pm - I wasn't mucking about and from the very start threw a full on selection of 91' hardcore and Belgian techno at the EE crew and hats off to them, they bloody loved it!! 

We packed the main room out which is something that had never been achieved before, and warmed the room up nicely for 'Shades of Rhythm' (such an honour to do) and I'd like to say thanks to my two MC's for their help and support on the night.

The feedback afterwards has been epic and heartwarming, with many people saying they hadn't heard some of the tracks since back in the day, so bring on EE5 because I've got plenty more where this lot came from!

This is the live recording of myself with the award winning MC Cutter, and the legendary Major Ranks at Encapsulated Energy on 3rd August 2013 held at The Azur in Hastings.

Massive thanks and respect as always to Colin & Lisa x

A few kind words taken from Facebook from the EE promoter......

Colin Walker: Goosebumps all the way:-) Andrew Cutter and Mc Ranks, you can hear the excitement in your voices as the set builds and builds! Massive set all 3 of you blowin the roof off, easily One of the best sets I have witnessed in years \0/ R E S P E C T 

All three of you set the fuse for EE4 alight, I shit you not YOU GOT THIS PARTY AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL, it went from a night out to something incredibley surreal, the ENERGY was immense something I have only experienced twenty odd year ago, I thank you for giving me that glimpse of where my heart lives - Stu N, Andrew Cutter & Mc Ranks - TAKE A FUKKIN BOW \0/ X

Stu N - Live @ Encapsulated Energy 4 - 1991 Mixtape Part 5 - with MC Cutter & Major Ranks

What started as an empty room......15 minutes in,  it turned to a rammed party(even if I do say so me-self) ;>...and what an amazing night it was!! Happy 1992 Hardcore going deeper then ending back on OS Hardcore :)

Snypa & MC Cutter - Encapsulated Energy 5

The live recording of my very heavy set from Encapsulated Energy 5, even Ranks was speechless for a while.

This night is becoming very well respected, so much so that Piano & Specs have even written a track entitled Encapsulated Energy and I had the honour of playing it at the end of my set.

A great night had by all, and massive thanks to all the Love Room dancers!

There is also a studio version of this mix at http://soundcloud.com/stu_n/stu-n-encapsulated-energy-5


Stu N - Live @ Encapsulated Energy 5 with Major Ranks (includes Piano & Specs - Encapsulated Energy)

Part 5 of a Charity event in Hastings UK I was asked to play something a little different to the norm so I threw together some 1992-1998 Progressive UK House, and tribal beats, some Dutch House and some Uplifting Dutch & UK Trance from the late 90's early 00's...bit of a mish mash...but it worked, they loved it!!

*VINYL*OS Prog House/Tribal/Trance DJ SKIE MC EXPRESS  EE5 Hastings (Strictly Vinyl) ;) 08.02.14

To mix things up a little at EE6 I was asked to play an Electro House set.

Having got a name for playing oldskool and Belgian techno at the previous nights I thought I had better keep it bass heavy and banging, so dipped in to the Electrofied back catalogue for this monster selection.

Hope you enjoy the mix......

Well here it is, this mix has been a very long time in gestation, around twenty years to be precise! Finally I have had the time to start collating what I hope to be a series of mixes celebrating why I love this music quite as much as I do! 

Using only the original vinyl to give them all the real ‘feel’ of the early nineties DJ tapes (no cheating on Ableton, nasty mp3's or additional production here folks!) so it's just like back in the day (but no tape hiss or crappy MC's!)

Hacienda Vinyl Mix 5 - inc: Eleanore Mills, Inner City, Shawn Christopher

Here’s the set I played at Encapsulated Energy 3 last weekend and I just cannot put into words how great this night was! 


This was more than just a gig to me - it has to be up there with the most important moments of my life. 


I have wanted this moment since 1991. I grew up with this music and went to Storm's on Hastings pier just along from where EE3 was held, so the chance to play Oldskool-Rave in my home town with all my friends there was a dream come true, and if you think it sounds good here you really should have heard it at the pointy end of the Funktion One rig.


Unfortunately the Pre-Party wasn't recorded so as soon as I got back to The Retreat I ran through it again and here it is. Even better still there was a set free at 8pm and I was invited to have another go! This time Rob Kinetic and myself played b2b and we smashed it -  Electrofied were in the house! This set was also recorded and will follow shortly……



This mix is dedicated to Colin, Lisa and Bump, thank you so much for making it happen. 


See you all at EE4!


Stu N - 1991 Mixtape Part 4 - Encapsulated Energy 3 Set

Bountyhunter @ Eden Rave 2013

Old Skool rave mix 2

Anthrax retro 80 y 90 vol 2

Inspired by the legendary 'Mangled' nights at Braintree Barn. Going out to all those that know!

Old School '89-'90 (Part 1) 'The Barn'

Great feedback from Colin Waker (Encapsulated Energy co-promoter) about the EE4 set - 

Goosebumps all the way.......... you can hear the excitement in your voices as the set builds and builds! Massive set all 3 of you blowin the roof off, easily One of the best sets I have witnessed in years........... you set the fuse for EE4 alight, I shit you not YOU GOT THIS PARTY AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL, it went from a night out to something incredibley surreal, the ENERGY was immense something I have only experienced twenty odd year ago, I thank you for giving me that glimpse of where my heart lives......... Stu N, Andrew Cutter & Mc Ranks TAKE A FUKKIN BOW \0/ X


Stu N has loved music since a very early age but it was with the dawn of rave that he found his true love! Living in Hastings with its legendary venue on the pier, he used to sit underneath to hear the new and excititng sounds coming from the ballroom, then in early 1991 he borrowed ID and got in and has never been quite the same since! 

The horns and hoovers of the euro breakbeat sound affected him to such and extent that even now in a quiet room it is all he can hear, better still he is back playing the music he loves (truly it never went away but now other people want to hear it as well)

However this doesn’t mean that Stu is not able to hold a crowd, he has always remained close to his roots by playing very occasionally at live events around the south coast. Most recently he's played at the now legendary 'Encapsulated Energy' parties in Hastings, alongside legends such as 'Jumping Jack Frost', Nebula II, LTJ Bukem and 'Shades of Rhythm' along with a single adventure to the mighty 'Labrynth - The Phoenix Rising' which was over the August Bank holiday in London. 

Set phasers to........ STUN!
