Wow! Here it is then - Evenin’ all!

We started this series of shows in 2011, it’s been on at least 3 radio stations, a podcast on its own and a massive amount of fun -  but it’s time for a change up!

Our new show The40 will be starting in the New Year - It’ll be much the same as Back to the Future, loads of new music mixed, but just the chance to play some new jingles (when i’ve made them…), we’ll have a couple of new features and a bit of a monthly chart for my favourite of the 40 tracks. 

Thanks to the people that have contributed to the show over the years with guest mixes and appearances live in the studio - DLR, rregula, Nitri, EQ, The Invaderz, Xanadu, Skyz, HLZ, Empi, Trilo, Maject, DirtyAbits, Uplift, Maztek, Lockjaw, Zero Method, Dan XS, Kantyze, Sleeper Cell, Wrekka and the one and only MC Fokus…and speaking of Fokus - on to the show… He’ll be hosting 4 mixes, 2 each, 15 tunes a go. There’s a little section for some thanks and shouts and we have a last one that’s a bit of a show theme tune. 

All that said, time to get into it…Back To The Future #100

Back To The Future #100 - d mix & Evolve With MC Fokus

Evenin', all

Time for another Episode of The40, No.3 to be precise. After our soulful hiatus we're back with a bang... and a tougher set of tunes. 

In fact we have... 40 of the best tunes around at the moment, representing labels and artists from across the scene. From Renegade Hardware to Rinse, Dub Phizix to D Double E and everything in between. 

This show features a Classic track request from Richard Driscoll. If you want to select a track, get in touch through any of the platforms - https://instabio.cc/mikeydmix

The usual couple of mixes with a feature in the middle. This time a pause in the countdown as we celebrate one of the architects of the scene we love, known as the DJs DJS, the Daddy, DJ Randall. Tracks made by him, remixed by him and collaborations with him. Rest In Peace ❤️

The next show from us will be an all label mix... True Playaz, The Early Years. You're not ready for it... 

Until then though. Nod head, tap foot. Enjoy.

The40 Ep.3 - d mix

Evenin’ all!

Back in September 2018 we bought you ‘Break – The Remixes’ on our 61st Back To The Future Podcast (still available btw 😉 ). Over 6 years and another 40 or so shows later, we bring you the next chapter. 

Break is still as prevalent on this show today as he was then, maybe even more so, and just as Iconic. You hear his influence so much these days through other artists and labels.  That’s how important ‘the Producers Producer’ has become.

I spoke last time about his ability to transform any style or genre with a remix.  This mix demonstrates his ability to do the same in collaboration. Whether with longtime musical partners like KYO, DLR, Total Science and Die or with the lesser spotted likes of Silent Witness, Mikal or Workforce his ingredients are always on display and unmistakable.

The tracks covering the last 20 years, really show the class and range of his work.  Back with a focus on an amazing stalwart of the scene. 

We bring you…
