It’s been only a few months since I was last interviewing Sam AKA Missing. Our relationship came about via chance. Sam was working in a Bournemouth studio alongside Bernie AKA Mr. Time from Tearin Vinyl. I was already chatting to Bernie about re-releasing some of the Tearin back catalogue as Ellis Dee had introduced us. So when myself and Sam linked, I knew destiny was mapping out a new direction and a repress of Sam’s self-released 1994 banger ‘Missing - Volume One’ was needed on Vinyl Fanatiks. As things do, a natural progression continued, with conversations steering towards releasing some vinyl together. Sam already had the vehicle, Sub System Recordings, which he had released a digital only track on a few years previous. Perfect. Earlier this year we launched the vinyl arm of the label to huge success but more material was required and consequently a new story unfolded, one that Sam describes to me;

“Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported the last Sub System releases which were a complete sell out” Sam Missing recounts. “That was at the start of lockdown and I am sure like many it’s been a surreal year but even with the clubs currently closed, the music must go on!  So here we are, launching the next three Sub System releases under the banner ‘Three From ‘93’.  Like most of our projects, these releases were formed through chance encounters and the very few degrees of separation that seem to exist in the jungle universe!  It wasn’t clear until the end of the project that we realised there was a very clear direction these releases had gravitated to, and that was the foundation year of 1993! Let me explain…” 

“Next we come on to Jimmy... if you go back to the early 90’s there were a bunch of ‘name tracks’ in jungle; Johnny Jungle, Scottie and of course Ricky! R-I-C-K-Y!!!” Missing had been keen to bring back the names! I mean, who can forget their favourite ‘name’ track? Any time you hear that name said or shouted down the street you automatically started reciting that tune in your head. But the list of names was short and another one was needed, homage had to be paid, and a fresh name added to the exclusive collective. ‘Jimmy’ was born. Sam drops science “I often think that in the original jungle era we weren’t scared to drop in a leftfield sample, those quirky, whimsical touches often blew up and inspired others. We took from all genres of music, video games and definitely film and TV samples. Tracks had personality, even as far as having names! I wanted to bring that vibe back and also update the dark side vibe of ‘93.  I had been searching for another name track inspiration but nothing had caught me.  Then a few weeks into lockdown I found the perfect vocal and ‘Jimmy’ was born. I gave a copy to Bailey who dropped it on his live sets including the Ram House Party. He was vibing on it and pulled up a rewind which was a great accolade. I was well happy. Anyway, the idea for the track was from the 90’s era but the track had crisp modern beats so it definitely made sense to have it reimagined into a traditional jungle style banger. Enter Lavery...  Tom Lavery is too young to have experienced the darkside era first time around but he is definitely one of the top producers in the scene championing the 90’s jungle and hardcore sound.  He was already on my radar for a remix on Sub System and I really wanted him to remix this tune and thankfully he agreed. I have to say he certainly came correct on this one, channeling the Soul Pride break adding sliced up Amen vibes into a fresh darkside smasher. Brutal and its 1993 all over!”

FULL BIO:

Babilonska (Zagreb, Croatia) is a DJ inspired by styles ranging from eccentric jazz, hip hop beats and psychedelic soundscapes to noisy riffs from the depths of hell.  In her sets, she mixes a wide range of genres, focusing on heavy bass and playful percussion, but always with a pinch of psychedelia and drama. 

She was a curator of ZEZ Festival for 8 years, which features experimental music and sound art. She co-founded Subtilno, a collective dedicated to drum and bass, footwork and jungle. In 2021, she performed at the first Croatian Boiler Room event. Within the past year she has shared the stage with the likes of LCY, Coco Bryce, Blawan, Deft and many regional and local artists. In 2024, she performed at Fusion Festival in Germany and the Hamburg club Hafenklang.

“Immediately afterwards we were treated to a deconstruction of the past and future of electronic music in real time by Croatia’s Babilonska, whose trippy vibes had a very dark, sardonic edge to them. Her pulsating, dissolving backdrop only confirmed the fact that some form of high magick was being performed. An absolutely magnificent, spellbinding show.” - Louder Than War

“To be so playful and loose within the techno space, forging an identity all of your own is no mean feat and Babilonska did this effortlessly. One minute bass-heavy, the next light dancing psych experiments.” - Under The Radar Mag

“Featuring various experimental forms of techno, dubstep, bass and other ritualistic-industrial aesthetics, Babilonska's DJ set was typically transgenre, marked by an undulating structure and smooth transitions between different mystical bass-heavy moods.” - Jaša Bužinel, Odzven
