ith pleasure today we bring you this vinyl only 2step mix from the legend himself @sykikdj 

We’ve been sitting on this little beauty for too long but before we got it out we had some questions to ask him and the first one was.

Can you tell us a little about yourself?-Original jungle dj started around 97. 
Then started mixing garage in 98. 
Networked myself and got my own bookings did pirate radios in my home town southend on sea. Charge and klash fm. Also did y2k essex and deja essex. 
Along side having spells on London's flava fm in the late 90s and having a  spell on rinse in 2003 and doing other radios like raw mission y2k London etc.
I spent 5 years in the grime scene aswell doing radio with dizzee rascal nasty crew regularly having guests on my shows that's what i was known for. 

Who and what are your main influences?-My influences at an early age in music was always hiphop from late 80s through the 9os and 00s. But In terms of uk underground dance music -Rinse fm from the beginning .. rude fm pressure fm.
Loved the whole crew thing on rinse in the mid to late 9os in the jungle days That was a big influence.

Favourite drink?- Lilt 

Finally what’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen at a rave?-The weirdest thing I've seen.. more funny really.. I was in Stratford rex at a roast event was in the middle of the dance floor with my pals and one of my pals pushed people out the way to make space so he could roll a spliff on the floor...

Sykik - Lilt Bitta Suttin’ ( Guest Mix )

Extremely proud to share 026 of our podcast series featuring original UKG Don, DJ Para, on the buttons. 

Known best for his work with the DEA Project, various solo projects in the late 90’s/early 00’s and more recently with releases on UKG Vibesey, Dr Banana and via his own imprint, Para is a guy who needs very little introduction amongst the true UKG heads. 

This mix providing a blend of upfront and unreleased underground Garage, transversing the abundant styles of the genre, featuring tunes from the likes of Yosh, Oppidan, Gemi, Perception, Arfa and of course plenty of Para productions thrown in for good measure. Sit back and enjoy the ride 🚘

Perception 5 Hours of Underground Garage Set

What came after the oldskool.......?

Distanced from the commercial sounds that UKG had become, away from the grime and broken best scenes that were forming, a bumpy sound started to emerge somewhere in early 2001. 

Innovative and energetic, skippy and fresh, this niche nuskool sound was a far cry from what preceded. 

And it needed to be. 

This often overlooked period - "the forgotten era" - was full of new producers and labels, with plenty of familiar faces at the forefront.

This vinyl mix from Andy1up aka releasethapressure is a 2hr showcase of the proper nu.skl garage sound of the time, "bringing back da bump"....

PLAY LOUD!!!!
