Yesterday I had the absolute honour of playing at Quest vs Amazon in Birmingham, on a lineup with jungle legends Micky Finn, Hype, JJ Frost, Simon Bassline Smith, Fallout, Ned Ryder, Kenny Ken and MCs like Magika, Stixman, Det, Juiceman, Ranski & more.

Anyone who follows my soundcloud knows how much I love Quest so when I found out I was playing I had to put together a set of ONLY music played at Quest 1992 to 1994! It was a warmup set so nothing too hectic but I wanted to play a set of tunes that represented Quest, with a nod to both jungle and hardcore. My set was only 45 mins so I extended it a bit today and played a few more...enjoy!

Thumpa @ NoughtyCulture 18/03/23 (2000s liquid D&B warmup set)

Dj Ratty--Pandemonium--The Fourth Anniversary - 1993

Latest mix is 1992 old skool hardcore, I tend to play more darker "jungle tekno" styles sets from this era, but perhaps as a response to lockdown I am currently on a happier vibe!  Lots of pianos in this one and quite a few classics with the odd more obscure tune thrown in every now and again.

Enjoy!

2. Ellis Dee & Swan-e - Ruffneck bizznezz
3. Rush till dawn - Don't just stand there
4. Jonny L - Hurt you so (S&M mix)
5. Sy-kick - Upside
6. Dj Seduction - My own
7. Urban Hype - I feel the heat
8. Sub-love - One by one
9. Unknown artist - Light of the underground (A)
10. Kaotic Chemistry - Space cakes
11. Orca - My brothers
12. Nino - Word Champion (I feel so real)
13. Hyper on Experience - Assention (to the 9th level)
14. Dj Seduction - Sub dub
15. Freestyle & DJR - Madness
16. Ruff Rider - You and me

1992 old skool hardcore mix vol. 2 (July - December)
