Hailing from Helsinki in Finland, Physics has been busy for years producing, DJing, and running his own music label, Midnight Sun Recordings. He is looking to release music that's genuine and has done so since his first release back in 2003. His productions have been released on the scene's most seminal labels including Metalheadz, Liquid V, Hospital, Fokuz, Formation, MAC II and Secret Operations just to mention a few. His productions have seen dj support from the likes of Randall, Goldie, DJ Storm, Bryan Gee, LTJ Bukem, DJSS, Pendulum, A.M.C and many more. He is constantly pushing music out on his own Midnight Sun label and is also working on an artist collaboration project called "Midnight Sons" together with long-time companion Christian Champagne. In the studio, he has previously worked with names such as S.P.Y, Alix Perez, Seba and Phil Source (Source Direct) and XRS.

DJing wise, Physics likes to play the whole spectrum of drum & bass and he likes to build sets that take the listener on a journey. You can be sure to hear dubplates of him and his peers in his sets that are always oozing of soulful deepeness but still maintaining a dancefloor edge to them!

Physics - Drums Run Deep

Recording for the 6th edition for 2025 of Punting on the Cam on April 1st for www.jungletrain.net Click "show more" below for the full tracklist. Mix available for download.

A logical next show after my Neurofunk and Technoid specials would be to do a Techstep special! However, I've already done several more pure Techstep shows in the last few years, so I decided to focus on only vinyls that were released in 1997 - including the seminal Torque LP, the most defining Techstep album if you ask me. I don't think everything in this mix could necessarily be classified Techstep, but it's close enough. I really enjoyed this exploration and mix of contemporary tunes! I hope you also will.

Next show will be in two weeks, a digital show with more modern tunes, on Tuesday April 15th, usual time, usual place, usual no-nonsense prescription of DnB! 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

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.

The dark side of Source Direct (Jungle dnb mix)

Mixing old and new from Odysee Recordings and Source Direct, old faves and new faves from labels and artists that helped shape drum and bass. The beats and bass especially hit the mark for me, such a great groove throughout. Last track is a bit crusty, an old fave that's seen a fair few plays. Mixed using DVS/1210s with no cat-based interruptions!

Iliads and Odysees

I've wanted to make this mix for almost 30 years; the tunes just didn't exist for it back then. Danny Breaks' "The Bear" blew my mind with its dark, electric jazz funk that fused Miles Davis with early Wu-Tang RZA. But in '96, it was sui generis, so it sat in my crate awaiting partners in crime.

In years since, I've tracked down other tunes with similar nocturnal menace. This isn't nostalgic "jazzy jungle" of keyboard presets and video games; it's shadows and criminals and blood-stained suits.

Some of the most exciting music in this vein is San's work for Rua Sound. The EPs are the closest thing I've heard to late '90s Source Direct, after they tipped headlong into darkness. SD-associated Odysee Recordings also carries on this spirit. Ornette Hawkins, with two tracks here, is the jazziest junglist out there; fellow AGN7 Audio artist Dacamera isn't far behind.

Fanu's criminally underrated collaboration with Bill Laswell gets one track here, but the whole album is worth hearing, full-on electric Miles worship. Speaking of which, the one tease here comes not from dnb, but from techno, Oliver Ho's mystical, millennial Miles invocation. Finally, the incomparable Sci-Clone presents two flip sides here - no anthems, just back alley vibes.

Track list is below. Enjoy!
