Going to have to seriously consider doing a part 2 to this mix

That’s sounds absolutely sick 🔊🔊🔊🔊

Please do part 2 🙏🏿😍😍😍💃🏿

Just done a similar mix and found this, thank you!

Dude have like 70% on vinyl still. Killin it man. Great to hear the old school jams. 🍻

The lost tape series aims to provide some rare gems from the UKG, Grime, Hardcore, Jungle and Drum & Bass scenes. Some of these sets have yet to be uploaded to the internet so keep an eye out for some great exclusives in coming months.

"All things considered, getting all of this out with music just feels right? Like I can use the album to point to it to explain how I feel instead of having to think about [it] all the time, but at the very least, I want it to be the best apology I can give to the people who deserve it (even if they'll never hear it). And at a time where I can genuinely feel my brain starting to melt and the memories start to fade in the midst of everything, it'll be a way to go from faking some semblance of happiness all the time to at least trying to give myself the hugs and self-love I need to keep going, if only because I can't ask for forgiveness from the people I've hurt." -me, 4/21/2025.

"fleeting memories; feigning happiness" is a personal journey for me that follows, among other things, the course of a romantic relationship, the stages of grief that came with it, and my understanding of my eventual diagnosis of bipolar II disorder. I suppose I'll leave it at that.

Thank you for giving this album a listen.

Red-I & Sasha Aplin - Said To Me

Junglizm 005

After my last label mix (Kartoons) I thought it best for my next mix to pay homage to my all time favourite drum & bass producers, two artists who I have stalked on Discogs in a kind of worrying fashion over the last few years, trying to pick up obscure remixes and forgotten bits of vinyl. Aphrodite has carried his style well over the years and since the early days of jump up his production has been duplicated, copied, ripped off by many - some have succeeded in manipulating that trademark bass, others have blatantly done a poor job. I don't think that drum & bass would have been what it was in the mid 90's without contribution from both Micky Finn & Aphrodite, nearly every set in '95 and '96 featured heavily with tracks from Urban Takeover and other sub labels. I think for me, the clever use of hip hop samples, straight kicks and snares along with the original wobble bass seems to be a winning formula.

It really hit home when Stalker was featured in Human Traffic in 1999, the same year Aphrodite released his self titled album - this was a time when, for me, the direction of drum & bass seemed uncertain. A time when new genres were popping up all over the place, most of my close DJ friends had moved over to the likes of UK garage or the deeper aspects of drum & bass.

Aphrodite obviously still plays all over the world, his sets these days still seem to feature the same spark his production did all those years ago, he seems to have moved on though bassline wise with his own production - not really something I am that keen on. That's just a person thing though although I guess he had to move on sometime.

So here's part one of some of my all time favourite releases by Micky Finn & Aphrodite, a collection spanning many years and many samples. All mixed on 2 Technics 1210's and a DJM700, nothing fancy but then I don't think this series needs it.

Jumping Jack Frost @ Philly Blunt Studio Mix - April 2014

Remember before all the wobbling, honking, fog horns and DJ Guv? Back in the day when something new grew out of the jungle scene, a style of catchy bassline driven fuckery that made dancefloors spill their red stripes and raise their gun fingers? This mix is a tribute to the growth of Jump Up, running (not chronologically as such) from 1993 to 2002. Police sirens! Gunshots! Spinbacks!  Rinsed, as always, on three decks at speed. Enjoy....
