Future Engineers - Live on The Cosmic Show (06-2003) - Side A-hdr

Music to take you off to the outer reaches... Crisp studio mix from label owner PHD and MC DRS circa 1999. Perfect combination of deep atmospheric ambience and melodies, tough beats, rolling basslines and DRS's lyrical stylings driving the vibe forwards...
PHD had a cache of wicked tunes (some still sadly unreleased) that never quite had the same exposure as the rest of the GLR camp but stood tall in their own right. Some exceptional music makers feature on this mix as well as appearing across the Ascendant Grooves release catalogue. One of those mixes that has never dated and still gets regularly aired. Enjoy...

PHD featuring MC DRS - Ascendant Grooves Recordings - 1999 Studio Mix

A mix I did a while ago of some tunes that define y2k futurism for me, tunes with detailed trippy drum patterns and lush otherworldly pads that could've come from the year 4000. This sound was pioneered by artists like Pariah and Future Engineers, and made waves on labels like Partisan and 720 degrees into the early 2000s, but eventually faded away into obscurity. Nonetheless sit back and reminisce at a future that never was. 
Tracklist:
1. Free4orm - Space
2. Eat Static - Hybrid (PFM Remix)
3. Justice - Polaris
4. Pariah - Sub Zero
5. Pariah - Censure
6. Future Engineers - Shattered
7. PHD - Cyber Genetics
8. Tertius & Deep Blue - Affirmative
9. Q Project & Spinback - LED (V.I.P. Mix)
10. Tertius & Professor Smalls - Wolf
11. In Deep - Electro Solution
12. Forme - Moonraker
13. Pariah - Living Cell
14. Twisted Anger - Exquisite
15. Pariah - For Real
16. Parallax - ...Evolves Through Different Stages
17. Aural Imbalance - Aural Soundscapes (Blame Rework)
18. PHD - Beneath The Surface

Y2K Visions - Late 90s Atmospheric Drum n Bass Mix

Recording for the 14th edition for 2025 of Punting on the Cam on October 14th for www.jungletrain.net Click "show more" below for the full tracklist. Mix available for download.

Thinking back to my recent Big Bud special, I figured I should try to do the same for my other contemporary favourite artist (duo); the Future Engineers. Their techy atmospherics always had a huge impact for me and I have no words to describe how much I love their tunes. Always tricky to mix because of all the melodies, so I tried doing some prework analyzing all the tracks, and even though it is an all-vinyl mix, I tried to mix them as much in key as I could. I did the same for the Big Bud mix at the time, actually. It worked out pretty well, and I even ended up not being able to play 8 more tunes I had lined up. I hope you'll enjoy the recording too!

Next show should be in two weeks, a digital show with more modern tunes, on Tuesday October 28th, usual time, usual place, usual no-nonsense prescription of DnB! (There will be no shows in November however, due to travel) Keep in touch on my artist FB page to know when the next one happens, when new shows are added in the archive, or to give feedback and suggestions; facebook.com/Dr.Squee

2025-10-14 Punting on the Cam (Future Engineers vinyl special)

Welcome back SSS fam and welcome to another journey of sound. Coming on the heels of Bennit's massive, hard hitting session from last week, I've got a new one for you to close us out this weekend. 

Spacewalk features a diverse selection, ranging from liquid and rollers, with a touch of soul grabbing vocal samples to throwback tunes, a bit of hip-hop and carefully chosen ambient joints to add some flavor as we come to a smooth landing through deep cuts of atmospheric jungle and drum and bass, finishing it off with some earthy electronica, all put together with a spacey vibe as the backdrop to the journey as a whole. 

A wide range of sound, filled with tunes from some of my favorite labels and producers, the kind of creative session I most enjoy. Hope you dig it, let us know what you think in the comments and give a like and share if you're feelin' the mix. 

Thanks for listening and keep it locked, plenty more dope sessions on the way

Cheers,
Sw3rv3 👊❤️🎧

Sw3rv3 _String Series IV Spacewalk

Future Engineers stride onward with their latest release, the All Inside EP, out now on Transference. This marks the duo’s first EP in 23 years, following their acclaimed Technetium EP on Good Looking Records in 2002.

‘Pattern Recall’

The electronic power of this storm crashes like a symphony torn from the sky, each thunderclap
echoing through malfunctioning wires and sparking circuit boards, as if the chaos of nature were
composing its own electronic music. In this charged congregation where sound, signal, and
surge collide, a strange purity emerges, raw and untamed, pulsing with the truth of systems
pushed beyond control.

‘Pattern Recall’ is the discord between nature’s fury and human design,
and a new rhythm is born: fractured, luminous, and alive.

Future Engineers - Pattern Recall [Transference] - Out Now

Future Engineers stride onward with their latest release, the All Inside EP, out now on Transference. This marks the duo’s first EP in 23 years, following their acclaimed Technetium EP on Good Looking Records in 2002.

‘Torsion Fields’

Beneath the hum of overworked machines and the weary shuffle of overtired workers, a society thrives, oblivious to the ‘Torsion Fields’ grinding its foundations to dust. Each cog turns not out of choice, but necessity, fuelling a system that demands more than it gives, extracting labor and life in equal measure. Yet from this pressure, a new program emerges, not an update, but a reinvention. One that rewires the structure itself, placing sustainability over speed, dignity over deadlines, and designing a future where neither flesh nor steel is pushed past breaking to keep the world turning.

Future Engineers stride onward with their latest release, the All Inside EP, out now on Transference. This marks the duo’s first EP in 23 years, following their acclaimed Technetium EP on Good Looking Records in 2002.

‘Time and Place’

On the wind-swept cliffs where the sky bruises into dusk, angelic whispers drift like forgotten hymns, weaving through the salt-heavy air. Below, waves shatter against the ancient rocks, their thunder a chorus to the murmured prayers of the sea. Across the wide, breathless grasslands, the ghosts of lost souls glide in silence, their presence felt more than seen, a chill in the breeze, a shimmer in the fading light, as if this ‘Time and Place’ remembers every story ever wept into its soil.

Future Engineers stride onward with their latest release, the All Inside EP, out now on Transference. This marks the duo’s first EP in 23 years, following their acclaimed Technetium EP on Good Looking Records in 2002.

‘All Inside’

The track’s neural core pulses with rhythm and gravitational magnetism, its usual hum now a fractured stutter that echoes through the corridors like a dying heartbeat. What begins as a
minor systems glitch in the terraforming bots, has escalated into a full-blown breach, something alien has slipped through the quantum relay during the deep-space transmission.

‘All Inside’ cocoons the listener safely, while the visions and chaos battle outside.

Simon Colebrooke joined the Production Sessions this month for a Q&A to provide some insights into his journey in A&R man for Moving Shadow, Partisan and now Overshadow. A position where he has undoubtedly helped to shape the face of the drum and bass scene as we know it today.

Deep jungle / d&b / hardcore / beats and dub
Got locked in to hardcore (then jungle) around 1992 hearing Pulse FM DJ's like Jinx, Skie and Warlock playing tunes like Paradise Project, TicTacToe, New Decade, Tom & Jerry, Nasty Habits, SMF, Satin Storm, and Dub II etc. Started mixing and buying tunes soon after.
