For the tracklist 

Danny Breaks & Dylan - The Spine - Droppin’ Science

What is this tune? Don't think I've heard this one before with the hoover bassline

Love this label and thanks for bringing it. I had a few Dylan tunes in the 90's. So underated and truly shat on the metalheadz stuff.

Great choice for a showcase, Droppin Science stuff used to get bought on sight for many years 👍🏻

Mate ur killing i got few these tunes on tape still’ yeah danny breaks always had skill’ but love how u mixing it up big u u🚀🚀

Thought I should get this nostalgiafest underway before the weather packs in for the year! 
After 18 months of intense mix pressure I've been close to burnout in the past few weeks, but I can always muster some enthusiam for the golden days of jungle. This series picks up where 'Back To Brighton Street' left off - a selection and vibe hovering around the summer of 1995, although not strictly constrained by date ... humour me and imagine that I had the '96 tunes on dub. @kolanut I'm looking at you mate. 

Being true to my roots and and those of my mans @wiseguisedjs and @rough-culture, part one has a slight Bristolian tint to the proceedings. As always, reposts, comments and track suggestions for future mixes are more than welcome. What are your ultimate '95 gems?

DJ Facs – Rude FM 104.3 [22nd February 1998]

Embrace the raw, unfiltered energy of Droppin' Science, Danny Breaks, and the golden era of drum & bass. This electrifying mix, concocted while Danny Breaks was crushing it in the gym, is a testament to the raw, unfiltered spirit of drum & bass.

I spent the last few days digging through my crate of old D&B records, and I was thrilled to rediscover the vibrant back catalog of Droppin' Science. As a lifelong fan of the label's signature sound, I couldn't resist dedicating this mix to the iconic tunes of Danny Breaks and his fellow label mates.

Prepare to be transported back to the golden days of D&B, where jumping needles, vinyl crackle, and soaring melodies ruled the airwaves. Let the thunderous beats of Jungletrain and the refreshing taste of a cold beer fuel your journey through this nostalgic auditory tapestry.

So crank up the volume, let your mind and body flow to the rhythm, and immerse yourself in the pure, unadulterated energy of Droppin' Science!

Cool Hand Flex: Jungle Soundclash Volume 1 - Mix 1 (1994)

Been idly planning this one for a while. All credit to Greg @kolanut for the inspiration - after listening to his excellent space/illness themed mixes a while ago, I knew I was going to have to do an aquatic concept mix at some point. 

Why water? Like many other Pisceans, I don’t buy into the astrology bullshit whatsoever. However, there's something special about the overlap between music and water in nature that I love in both a literal sense - tracks that feature the sound of raindrops, waves crashing etc. - and as an abstract. Evidently I’m not the only one - the ‘floaty’ aesthetic of some of the more ambient side of D&B lends itself nicely to an aquatic theme. Granted, I’ve no idea whether tracks titled ‘River Of Dreams’ or ‘Mysteries Of The Deep’ would conjure up the same vibe under a different name, but it really doesn’t matter. Most of these tunes I’ve known for a long, long time – for me the titles are inextricably linked to the music and so form part of the narrative here.

Thinking about it, I’m not even sure why it took so long to get around to this mix, as planning and executing it was possibly more enjoyable than any other I’ve done. Working with a specific theme provides a nice excuse to bring together styles and producers that on the face of it might not seem an obvious match, the main task being to figure out some kind of continuity. It was also a great opportunity to trawl the internet for watery track titles and discover a handful of hitherto unknown pearls. Rest assured I’ve got plenty more set aside :) 

Enough words, dive in!

Redzone live from Cork Ireland, with Dave Sully

Fridays [Even: Bi-Weekly] on Jungletrain
22:00 - 00:00 CEST / 21:00 - 23:00 BST

Dave Sully's journey into the world of DJing began in 1991, a time when his city was alive with the beats of House Music. Yet, his heart was drawn to the more daring and unconventional sounds. In those early days, he was spellbound by Belgium Techno, then hardcore and breakbeat. Under the guidance of his mentor, Colin Dee, he started showcasing his talent in various local venues. As time went on, a vibrant Oldskool scene in Cork flourished, fueled by a constant flow of house parties and the sharing of mix-tapes.

During the enchanting Golden Jungle era, Dave Sully's path led him to Northampton, UK, where he shared student accommodation with Jrumhand. Seeking a change from the prevailing Ragga sound, Jrumhand's influence sparked a new direction in Dave Sully's music, inspiring him to explore the captivating world of Blue Note-style Jungle.

However, around mid-1996, a transformative shift occurred with the emergence of groundbreaking music from labels like No-U-turn, Prototype, and Photek. Following his return to Ireland later that year, Dave Sully found himself amidst a significant turning point for Cork's music scene—the birth of the city's first pirate radio station, Radio Friendly. Suddenly, diverse groups of individuals sharing a love for the same music were connected through this underground broadcasting platform. For several years, Dave Sully and other notable figures such as Colin Dee, Dj Source, Feral, and Torque hosted regular weekly shows, cementing their presence in the local Drum & Bass scene.

A subsequent return to the UK between 1998 and 2001 saw Dave Sully's club performances steadily grow, as he aligned himself with various local crews.

Upon his re-entry to Ireland, a thriving drum and bass (DNB) scene awaited, with well-established crews like Fluid, Bassbin, and Phase 2 dotting the landscape. Dave Sully became associated with all of them at different points in time.

However, in late 2002, disillusioned with the direction of the DNB scene, Dave Sully made a conscious decision to turn his back on it. The genre no longer felt cutting-edge to him, leading him to shift his focus back to the cherished Oldskool sound. This decision was influenced by the degrading quality of DNB at the time, which led him to believe that his artistic growth and evolution would be better served by returning to his roots. For several years, he immersed himself in playing Oldskool tunes, enjoying great success throughout Cork city.

Jump to 2013, and Dave Sully found himself irresistibly drawn back to the realm of DNB. The sheer abundance and quality of the music being produced proved impossible to ignore. This marked a significant turning point in his career, as he is now closely associated with Jet Li Productions, revitalizing his presence in the live gig circuit while also dusting off his studio equipment.

This collection stands as an archive of Dave Sully's personal mixtapes, radio shows, and recent mixes, spanning over three decades of his illustrious career.
