Thumpa - Now That's What I Call Accelerated Culture Pt 4! (Classic D&B 2001 - 2005)

Wasn't sure if id do some end of year mixes this year but managed to pull myself away from the turkey and chocolates long enough to do this effort .... there have been lots of great Breakbeat this year but I kinda feel like I have missed out on so many tracks because they were on random labels or a limited release but it's a good problem to have and just like the old days. So here is a small selection of my favourite tracks from this year plus a few that won't be officially released for a while but they are on promo so they count (in my head), wasn't totally happy with some of the mixing/transitions but it is what it is.......anyway enough waffling , enjoy !

DJ A.K. - Best Of 2021 Breakbeat Hardcore Mix 26.12.21

DJ PERSUASION - DANNY [UMOTB001]

10" VINYL DUBPLATE ONLY

LIMITED TO 35 COPIES

A1. DJ PERSUASION - DANNY
B1. DJ PERSUASION - DANNY (DIGITAL REMIX)

Ulterior Motive inaugurate their Black Label series with a fresh cut from DJ Persuasion, paired with a mind-bending remix from the mighty Digital (Function Records).

Inspired by one of the best-loved horror movies of all time, Danny ‘25 picks up where countless other hardcore renditions which sample the horror genre have left off. The lore surrounding the film which the track is based on is something of a maze in itself. Persuasion digs deep into the legacy of the film and its offshoots to provide a fitting tribute set to bulldozer bass and lightning drums.

Function Records’ owner Digital provides the remix on the flip. Digital should need no introduction — he’s been behind some of the best-loved drum & bass tracks of all time: tunes like Deadline, Down Under, and Phantom Force alongside Duncan Busto aka Spirit, who sadly passed away.
Digital rolls it out in his time-honoured fashion and takes the levels of fear and dancefloor destruction up a notch.

Hearing is believing.

DJ PERSUASION - DANNY '25 [UMOTB001]

GARRYK Ft Presha MC

Kenny Ken & MC Warren G @ Helter Skelter 'Human Nature' on Saturday the 6th of June 1998.

Kenny Ken @ Helter Skelter - Human Nature - 1998

Dj Hype & MC MC @ Helter Skelter 'Energy '98' on Saturday the 8th of August 1998.

Dj Hype @ Helter Skelter - Energy '98 - 1998

My journey into the legendary legacy of Helter Skelter continues with the biggest year for drum & bass so far, 1998! This was the year of Bambaata, Turbulence, Alien Girl and many more instant classics, all contained in this mix! I was 16 and buying a LOT of D&B records, I got my first proper gig in 98 and played tunes in this mix, 22 years later I still love em!

All tunes played at Helter Skelter, all vinyl mixed live in one take!

Thumpa - This Is The Sound Of Helter Skelter 1998! (Drum & Bass)

A mix celebrating the very special 2000 to 2002 era of drum & bass with all tracks played at Slammin Vinyl during these years.

In 2000/2001 with not much going on in the hardcore scene I was buying a lot of drum & bass and going to One Nation, World Dance, Flashback and of course Slammin Vinyl and spending all night in the D&B arena. In 2000 the music was very techy, dark and unforgiving, with most DJs championing this harder sound with some BIG releases on Ram, Renegade Hardware, Trouble On Vinyl, Virus and more.

This was a very special time for me, I was 18 in 2000 and out most weekends gurning me tree off, hanging off the barrier and calling for a rewind then I would spend all my money on records in the week! Lots of great memories from The Sanctuary, The Lighthouse, Que Club and many more during this time. Enjoy!
