Thumpa @ Lichfield Fuse Festival 12.07.25 (New & Classic D&B)

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!

More from the Hysteria vaults, another 90 mins of 97-00 bangers played at Hysteria events!

Here's my 3 deck 30 years of jump up set that I played on the Bellyman show last night at Origin Radio! I tried to play a tune or 2 from each year 1995 to upfront and slipped a few of my trademark blends in there. Enjoy!

PULL UP

Moakz's stunning debut album 'The Critical Path', releases on double 12" vinyl and digital on 6th June 2025. Beautifully mastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven, and with stunning artwork produced by Clayton Burke, the release finds the artist in fine form, showcasing his cinematic sound in full length for the first time.

After a series of releases over the past four years, the Southampton, UK-based DJ / Producer and co-owner / A&R of Codename: RCRDS finally drops his distinctive debut LP , drawing on influences as diverse as film scores, soul, jazz, post-rock and techno for a warm, deep and often emotional take on the drum and bass / atmospheric drumfunk sound.

The release includes the full LP and 3 digital only bonus tracks.
