No Frills - Just Good Music Vol 2 - Oldskool Rave Vinyl Mix - Chase Water

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!

DIVTEC – PORCELAIN

A sonic dissection of human fragility and performative calm. Porcelain exposes the brittle truth: people are too precious, too breakable, and too good at faking serenity while simmering with unspoken aggression. Beneath the soft smiles and curated personas lies a pressure cooker—life’s not hard because of circumstance, it’s hard because of people.

This track doesn’t soothe—it confronts. It’s a call for future recalibration: attitude editing, neural rewiring, brain chips if necessary. The emotional OS needs a patch. Porcelain isn’t just a tune—it’s a warning shot across the surface of civility.

11. Divtec - Porcelain

Hungover!!!🤢🔥🔥🔥🔥7/9/25.
