Altern 8 History Mix

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...

Altius Sounds proudly introduces Stunboy with his debut EP Spectral, a three track exploration of deep, underground sonics. Built for the club, the EP blends rolling low end pressure with hypnotic textures and stripped back grooves, showcasing a forward thinking take on minimal drum & bass. Spectral marks an exciting first step for Stunboy and a heavyweight addition to the Altius catalogue.

The Lockdown Mix 2 (Old Skool)

The legendary club Quest in Wolverhampton was rated as the best club for hardcore old skool rave from late 91-93 with a who's who of guest DJs including Carl Cox, Phantasy, Ratty, Sy, Stu Allan, Loftgroover, Dave Angel, Slipmatt, Fabio, Tango, Pilgrim, Ned Ryder and loads more. After hammering the tapes from 92/93 during lockdown I thought it was only right to put up a tribute to late 92 / early 93 tunes played at Quest during 93 where the darkness was seeping through the jungle...
