Andy C & MC Dynamite - Live at Ram Records Nightlife Launch Party, The End, London (04.07.2003)

It's now 19 years since my original Trance & Bass mix first came out - as a special Mix CD on the cover of Mixmag Magazine. It was definitely an important moment in my career & exposed what I do & how I play to a bigger audience, and also I think a really cool snapshot of what was a really exciting time in DNB, that any of us that are still around will look back on fondly. Big thank you to everyone at Mixmag who helped push the idea of this CD and thought of inviting me to do it, all those years ago!

I've been streaming live DJ sets & working hard on my visuals and general Twitch stuff for over a year now, to get through the 'situation', to the point were we've got over 8000 followers in the 'Loft Crew' (I broadcast these from my loft, as was very obvious in the early days with the strange triangular greenscreen behind me, the shape dictated by the low ceiling and shape of the roof!). 

The computer I use for the streaming is now at its absolute limit of what it can handle so there was a bit of lagging tonight - not up to my usual standard, hopefully the music shines through regardless. I've got a new PC on the way (and looming mammoth credit card bill as a result lol) to use up there, so the resolution/frame rate etc will be back up to 10/10 shortly!

The plan for this set was to revisit the original tracklist and then continue playing tracks along the same lines, some from the same era in the early 2000s that would have fitted in well back then, alongside more recent stuff, all sticking with that 'Trance & Bass' brief.

Huge shout out to all the producers making incredible DNB to this day, whatever the subgenre, and to the guys at the forefront of the Trance & Bass sound back then, and those still pushing it today.

Also a HUGE thank you to everyone that regularly tunes in to my livestreams on Twitch (AKA the #loftcrew), takes part in the community, those that support me with 'subs' and 'bits' tips/donations - it really helps keep me going, both mentally, and financially. You guys really are the best. Thank you.

I stream DJ sets on Wednesday, Friday & Sunday nights live on twitch at 8pm (UK) http://www.twitch.tv/johnbbeta [Though I'm giving the Wednesdays a break for the next couple of months to give me some time in the studio and working on video prep for my live Visuals to take on Tour]

Friday nights is for 'Upfront D&B' sets, sometimes themed ones - and on Sundays I play Vinyl only - Drum & Bass classics & rarities! Wednesday is for Chilled Liquid Funk DNB - with Beach/Pool/Tropical Island related Visuals.

It's a lot of fun - make sure you come say hi in the chat when we're live - I do my best to talk to everyone while I'm playing & even sometimes take requests ;)

LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad @ Dance Paradise - Ultimate Experience Vol 8 (26/12/1994)

Heyoooo people! 

We're back with a premiere! Our commander in chief, DJ Bastard has whipped up a phat remix of @unoturbo 's track - Into the machine - releasing on the 21st of November 2025 via our friends - Lambratech. 

As always, hit the buy link to buy the full EP - and read on below for more details about the release: 

Lambratech 08 – UnoTurbo – Semimodular
The second chapter in the Lambratech trilogy features UnoTurbo with Semimodular: an alchemical blend of raw Electro aesthetics and experimental additive synthesis. A vision of circuitry gone sentient, modularity in mutation.
To expand the release into uncharted sonic territory, we’ve brought in a global remix crew reshaping the original material with bold identities and distinct grooves:
Aaanomalia delivers a deep Afro-bass rework of Semimodular, pulsing with hypnotic drive.


Spaceface reinvents Into the Machine through a stripped-down Electro-Techno lens, machine-driven yet soulful.


zpectrum, already a familiar name on Lambratech, twists Into the Machine into a groovy, late-night weapon.


DJ Bastard goes full chaos mode, warping the same track into a high-speed freakout for the fearless dancefloor.


Highfidelity transforms PC Data into a shimmering dreamscape, full of digital nostalgia and tight pressure.


Closing the EP is Acye Bio, a fresh Italian voice, channeling future bass and broken textures into a forward-thinking hybrid.


From Lambrate to the world, Semimodular is the second step of a sonic mutation.
Electro roots, mutant branches.

Very few record labels can claim to have had the same impact on the UK music scene as significantly as Full Cycle Recordings. Often mentioned in the same breath as other iconic labels such as Good Looking Records, Metalheadz, RAM, Dope Dragon, Talkin’ Loud and V Recordings, the label has gone onto shape the current sound of UK dance music from the mid 90’s onwards. 

Musical friendships like those that helped create Full Cycle aren’t created overnight, Krust and Roni originally met at an interview for a job they were both going for. Suv could be found at local spots like the legendary Ajax Blues Club whilst Die shredded the streets of Bristol on his skateboard and was linking with Roni’s older brother’s Lasertronic Soundsystem in the early days of his music making career. After the original members spent a long weekend at Glastonbury Festival, Roni Size, Krust, Die and Suv left with a shared vision that would go on to re-shape the foundations of dance music.

Bryan G and Jumping Jack Frost gave Roni some early opportunities to release music on the legendary V Recordings, a move which started a long and productive relationship between the London and Bristol crews, but due to busy release schedule the pre-Full Cycle members found their own music building up with long delays on release dates (as well as feedback from other labels suggesting they change their names as ‘Roni or Krust would never be big’). The crew had to get their music out and couldn’t wait any longer. ‘Fuck it, let's do it ourselves’ became their mantra and in 1994, Full Cycle Records were born.

The four original members shared a vision of how they wanted they're music to sound, evolving the early energy of Jungle, Ragga Jungle and Hardcore to incorporate deeper elements from Jazz, Soul, hip hop, funk and blues into new forms of dance music. One of the labels early releases ‘Music Box’ by Roni Size and Die (released in 1994) is considered a seminal release that will go down in history as one of those records that changed so much in the scene whilst being inescapable at the time. Borrowing elements from the crates and combining those sounds with the raw, drum-led power of jungle and deep sub bass, the group had created a sound that they could truly call their own.

As the label continued to grow and influence the direction of jungle and drum and bass even further, new projects and members were introduced into the busy release schedule and extended family. Artists such as Clipz (now Redlight), D Product, Heist, Tali, Surge, Bill Riley and J Raq continued to add to the Full Cycle catalogue throughout the 2000s, whilst carving out their own place in the constantly changing sound of drum and bass. Other collaboration projects on the label such as Breakbeat Era (Roni, Die and Leonie Laws) and I Kamanchi (Die and Krust) are still considered to be classics from the era, receiving critical acclaim and continuing to be held up as a reference point for current producers in Drum and Bass and beyond. 

After 15 years of successful releases, the label took a break from releasing new music and the four original members of Full Cycle pursued new musical interests and solo projects. Now the time is right for the label to return with their unrivalled back catalogue of classics; a run of live showcases with originators Roni, Krust and MC Dynamite; and a special remix package from some of the most respected producers in the world of dance music. Things do go Full Cycle…

Possibly my most-played tape pack back in 1994 - the Ratty tape label has completely worn off :) Amazing spread of styles across the six sets. Big shouts to @the-roadblock for hosting the same sets until recently and to @ethereal94 for meticulously tracklisting them on Rolldabeats.
