Back in 2000 I spent a lot of time on the Drum & Bass Arena website chatroom (LOL) and met a few people online that would end up inviting me down to Kent to go to Atomics with them, my mates back home loved raving but wouldn't travel that far down south so I used to get the train down to Rainham in Kent and go to the weekly Atomics night in Maidstone. This was my first taste of D&B raves south of Birmingham and I got to see a lot of DJs and MCs that rarely came up my way. It was only on 9pm - 2am but was every Saturday, I went to a handful o events in 2000 and also went NYE 2000/2001, very messy nights!

This mix is a tribute to the tunes I heard, shout to all the Pure Science crew!

Thumpa - Chilled Drum & Bass Vol 3 (The Super Funky Edition)

Time for (some of) my favourite Breakbeat Hardcore tracks from 2022, its been a good year although I did miss out on a lot because they were tied to expensive box sets/random labels/just missed them etc but its a good problem to have, like the old days, I did also get the Jimmy J and Cru-l-t box set just after I did this mix (typical) so I've done another Breakbeat Mix since ...... I've also got lots to come in 2023 including Hard Trance Classics vol 10, Retro Hardcore vol 4, a pure cheddar mix, a 98-99 Hardcore & Hard Trance Mix and a 90's Gabber/Technodrome Mix plus others, so Jan/Feb looks good (music wise at least), hopefully 2023 is a good year …….anyway enjoy !
