Ransak joins our mix expedition to present Volume 20. Ransak has been a dedicated jungle and drum & bass DJ since 1994, known for his passion for deep breaks, atmospheric sounds, and the darker edges of the genre. As a resident DJ at Vibration Centre in Pasadena, CA, Ransak holds court every second Sunday of the month, delivering captivating vinyl sets that highlight his signature atmospheric and deep break selections. Big respect to the crew: Jaes, Flowah, Kaustin, and J Rolla.

Volume 20 is a deep and introspective journey, sourcing modern descendants of Blue Note/Platinum Breakz era Metalheadz, and Good Looking Records styles. The two Source Direct classics featured here help drive that point home. They slide in seamlessly next to tracks from modern day greats such as Nebula, ASC, and Kloke.

Ransak - Atmospheric Drum & Bass Revival Mix Series - Volume 20

for us

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

All Digital mix of his early tunes. From his first one on Cert 18 up to the end of his initial run of heavily breaks based tunes around 1996. His beats went more tech and sparse in 97 but this selection is peak Think, Amens, bongos and Apaches coupled with trademark dubwise basslines. Real Kemistry & Storm tunes. His production back then was pretty loose and experimental and it all adds to the ragged dubbed out flavour running side by side with the crunchy pads, strings and atmospherics. Proper deep journey tunes showcasing the studio time with Photek and Spirit that was likely going on at that time... Only got through half the tracks I had pulled out in 90mins so this is prob Round One.

All Digital / Natural Mystic Mix - Early Years 93-96 - PART 1

Part 2 of the early Digital releases - all remaining tunes not featured in the first mix. Not much more to say in addition to my thoughts on the first session, just wicked, epic, deep atmospheric jungle produced only as Digital knows how. Surgical beat work, incredible spacey pads and subsea B-lines. 
Enjoyed putting these two mixes together - definitely helped me appreciate a few of the B sides and loose experimental tunes a whole lot more after all these years (Lost and Mystery etc.). Some of these tunes went a bit over my impatient young head when I bought them so it's nice to have them aired out in full for repeated listening and appreciation :)

Monsoon Kicks

Riser to the Ridge

Steel Ramps

Delta Anthem

A late-night glide where Blue Note swing meets boombap grit. Dusty horns, organ riffs, and upright bass walk alongside block-party drums and Latin soul percussion. From Lou Donaldson and The Three Sounds to Monk, Grant Green, Ike Quebec, Barrabás and beyond—stitched with hip-hop cuts (Moodymann, Jazz Liberatorz, Smif-N-Wessun, Mobb Deep, Roy Davis Jr., Kruder & Dorfmeister). Think candlelit bar, concrete alley, and a tape deck rolling: smoke-ring cool, shoulder-roll grooves, and head-nod momentum from first drop to last fade.

Arabia composed by Curtis Fuller though made famous by Art Blakey performed by The Sarah McDonald Quintet at The Cool Room at The Northern Arts Hotel in Castlemaine featuring Kumar Shome on guitar, Ron Romero on sax, Luke Andresen on drums, James Lockwood on bass and me, Sarah McDonald on voice.

Arabia Northern Arts 5th Oct 24

Gypsy Blue by Freddie Hubbard performed by The Sarah McDonald Quintet at The Cool Room at The Northern Arts Hotel in Castlemaine featuring Kumar Shome on guitar, Ron Romero on sax, Luke Andresen on drums, James Lockwood on bass, Nigel Maclean on violin and me, Sarah McDonald on voice.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

"Sarah McDonald effortlessly segues from applying a dash of tropical swelter to thirties standards, tinkering with Thelonius Monk torch songs to a soul jazz rendition of an Amy Winehouse classic." 

Joel Shortman, Rathdowne Records.

"..deceptively laid back and self-assured, with an undercurrent of emotions waiting to sweep you by. When she sings “Rusted brandy in a diamond glass”, it’s the rust she focuses on, not the diamond. Tom Waits would approve...

..There’s a lot of nostalgic glamour associated with the ’20s and ’30’s era. Singers who choose to sing this material often end up as replicas of the sultry divas of the past, dressing up in satin gowns and pearls and stale femininity. Not Sarah McDonald. She approaches her material with a tomboyish attitude, phrasing the classic jazz and obscure torch songs that comprise her set list with a punk sensitivity and a kind of modern-day angst delivered by this beautiful, soulful chili-infused chocolate voice of hers. When she opens her mouth, she showers her audience with raw emotion. No pretense, no polished femininity, no nonsense. It helps that she’s sexy as hell when she does it; and that she’s surrounded by a killer band: Ron Romero on tenor sax, Kumar Shome on guitar, Ben Hanlon on the bass and Lewis Pierre-Humbert on the drums. As these musicians spew fire from their instruments, people get up and dance to her singing, even if she sings Monk’s “I mean you” (not the most danceable song out there)."

Nikos Fotakis, australianjazz.net

Sarah McDonald evokes cool smoky jazz club atmosphere with expressive melifluous phrasing contrasting with rhythmic dexterity.  She is a singer who has been as influenced by horn players and drummers as she has by the great vocalists. Having delved deeply into music, she draws from the greats of the history of jazz, blues and soul and selects choice standards, along with original, contemporary and more esoteric repertoire that she infuses with a soulful authenticity.

She has had a wealth of experience performing original music in various guises, playing in a range of contemporary original bands, world music ensembles and playing music for circus, theatre and film.

She also plays flute and sings in Tarab Ensemble, playing classical Arabic music:
