Sick set! Some rare gems in here - can you enable the download? :)

Love this. There was a fun thread on DOA called "hey you...with the rare techstep records" or something like that which is in a similar vein. Good stuff.

Thank you for sharing this:).  This is the type of set that got me into spinning jungle records way back when.  Love the pace of the mixing, the double drops, and the selection!  Boh!

The type of drum & bass that got me thinking this truly was music from the future back in the 90's. I always imagined these guys frantically working their weird machinery to invoke images of vast dystopian, tech fuelled city scapes. Well.... try watching Talking Heads (the metalheadz documentary) and see what Ed Rush & Optical were doing in the studio. I wasn't too far off.

Digitising my collection this summer lead me to dive deeper into some back catalogues of labels and study the labels that were so groundbreaking in determining the tech step template. It's unbelievable how well some of those tracks aged. Imagine hearing a tune that makes you prick your ears and sit up, only to discover that it's from '96 and sounds as fresh as any new thing you can find in an online store today.

Here's to the guys who made my imagination run wild with insane sci-fi tales of robots, cyberspace, lasers and whatnot....

Unearthed Artefacts (90's D&B)

A DJ with a distinct preference for dark and moody sounds, with the occasional indulgence into flat out agressive sounds, Uncut Anger has been active since 2001.

As a member of the now defunct Utreg Massive, Uncut Anger was known for the graveyard shifts with hard as nails drum & bass sets, incorporating the occasional hardcore techno sounds when the mood was right. His technical prowess behind the decks earned him gigs alongside the likes of Technical Itch, Limewax and Evol Intent.

As a counterbalance he anonymously donned the Beast of Legend moniker which allowed him to express his love for the deeper sounds in drum & bass. Independently from the Uncut Anger alias, this also got him appreciation from peers unaware of his angry moniker.

As years passed Uncut Anger's attention broadened, causing him to listen to other sounds and changing his studio equipment. No longer feeling the need to fit in a box or niche or feeling the pressure to score gigs, this allowed him to play just whatever he feels like. However, darkness is ever right around the corner.
