Simon Bassline Smith - Jungle Angel Mix 94/95

One of the first mixes I put on soundcloud and now properly buried under a ton of other uploads, so re-upped it. Think this is the last mix I recorded with actual vinyl and actual decks* before all this mixing-on-a-phone bollocks, way way back in 2001. Recorded and ripped from minidisc.

*Ok, 2 soundlabs worked to the max, and a shit mixer with new fader but no EQ

Footnote: this is my 2nd favourite mix from my previous guise as DJ Smart; recorded around 2001 at a time when current DnB was depressing me and the only place I could hear these sorts of tunes was out of my own speakers. 

Incidentally, my favourite mix from this era was also recorded to minidisc, one of those one-pass mixes, no mistakes, no clashing, decent selection, nothing too obvious, lots of styles... in my rose-tinted memories it was perfect. Anyway, I accidentally deleted the master a few days later. It was horrific, I'm glad minidiscs are long extinct.

LTJ Bukem - The Rebirth mix (Yaman, 1996)

Taking back to 27th November 1993 live from Quest, oldskool drum & bass LTJ style. Not the best sound quality, I did what I could to remove the hiss and boost the levels. Find more classic LTJ set (past and present) in my LTJ playlist.

As always, all props to the artists, producers n engineers that made these tracks. Much love to all the D&B family.

Back in 1996 Hidden Agenda put out their 4th and perhaps one of their most well known Metalheadz releases. 24 years on and we're proud to present the remastered release featuring the 2017 version of 'Dispatches #1' from the 'Bass Camp' compilation, and a brand new, never heard before remaster of 'Dispatches #2'. This is cutting edge drum and bass from a duo that played a big part in shaping the genre from the mid-90s onwards.

Hidden Agenda - Dispatches #2 (2020 Remaster)

Misfit, real name Shawn DeVries, is a DJ and producer from the Chicago area currently residing in the Logan Square neighborhood. Influenced by Chicago’s house and industrial music scenes in the 1980’s, and the growing US rave scene in the 1990’s, Misfit went on to bring his melodic, jazzy, soulful sound to rave and club events throughout the Midwest. Starting with Chicago house music and brit pop in the late 1980's, he expanded his sound into breakbeat, jungle, drum and bass and downtempo in the 1990s and 2000s.

Since 2016, Misfit has been a resident DJ and digital honcho of Proper Chicago - Chicago's weekly drum & bass night. In his spare time, he has also produced a number of unsigned tracks reflecting influences from jazz, ambient electronica, dub and hip hop. That work, along with recorded studio mixes such as the 52mixes project and mixes from live broadcasts, can be found at https://soundcloud.com/themisfitdj
