Name: Thumpa - The Second Movement Sessions by Thumpa
Duration: 1 h 6 min 28 s
Description: A deep dive into the early releases on the Back 2 Basics sub label that ran from 1994 to 2000, releasing music from Ascend, Ultravibe, Technical Itch, JB and more. At first glance the label could be considered 90s record box filler but I love how the label could hop from atmospheric jungle to vocals to big wobbly basslines and amens to hip hop jump up and darkness. Enjoy!

Ratpack, Billy Bunter B2B Adrian Age - Labrynth 'The 5th Birthday Ball' - 2nd October 1993

I will try and piece all the audio together for this night. It will take some time so please be patient. 

This tape had half hour of Doc Scott, and 1 hour of Top Buzz (which will be the next upload from this event).
Other tapes from this event are N Joi & Grooverider, Sasha, Dobbo & Keith Suckling. There are various versions online that are a bit patchy here and there as people will have taped what they wanted back then so it's understandable!
There will eventually be a playlist of this all running together in order to how the event went.

Thanks to Rob Gray for this tape!

GROOVERIDER-HELTER SKELTER - IMAGINATION NYE 96 - 97

Something a bit different from me! A label that I've been meaning to do a deep dive on for some time, finally got the chance to sort my records and CDs and start a 2 part look at the awesome, forward thinking and downright jazzy New Identity Records! A Formation label started in 1996 by DJ SS, the label is still going today with a look at the deeper, jazzier, off the wall style of D&B. 

Here's a look at the jazzier 96/97 stuff. Will do a part 2 looking at more 97-2002 and the darker, techier sounds at some point...

01. Matrix - The Chase
02. Matrix - Slow Drift
03. Matrix - The Junk
04. Matrix - The Message
05. Matrix - Fluid Motion
06. Tango & Ratty - Time And Space
07. Allude 8 - Deep Minds
07. Mental Power - I Want
08. Allude 8 - Trumpets
09. The New Jazz Phenomeon - Harlem Shuffle
10. Barcode - Let The Music Be (SS Revamp)
11. Tekniq - Awakening 96
12. Allude 8 - The Gallery
13. Matrix - Snake Skin
14. Bassline Generation - Black Polished Chrome
15. DJ SS - Mediterranean Falls
16. DJ SS - White (Technical Itch Remix)

Thumpa - The Sound Of New Identity Part 1 (Formation sub label)

A deep dive into the early releases on the Back 2 Basics sub label that ran from 1994 to 2000, releasing music from Ascend, Ultravibe, Technical Itch, JB and more. At first glance the label could be considered 90s record box filler but I love how the label could hop from atmospheric jungle to vocals to big wobbly basslines and amens to hip hop jump up and darkness. Enjoy!

Thumpa - The Second Movement Sessions

Here's part 1 of my deep dive into one of my favourite D&B labels of all time, Back 2 Basics! Set up by JB aka Jason Ball in 1993, the label would run to 2008 with nearly 100 vinyl releases and more albums, mix CDs etc. Being a midlands lad myself I have grown up with this label and bought everything I could 96 onwards. 

The label released music from JB, Spice, Dred Bass, Twisted Individual, Decoder, Ascend, Ned Ryder and loads more and was a really important part of my teenage years as a DJ and raver! Enjoy this look into their 94/95 releases...
