Beyond the A13 - music from the outer reaches of East London and Essex

Growing up on the edge of London, where the east end meets Essex, and industrial wasteland meets suburbia, my life was always reliant on four main arteries to get me to school, to work or to parties: the A13, the District Line, the London-Southend railway and the number 5 bus route. Running from the heart of London to the edges of the Thames estuary - I can’t imagine how much time I’ve spent on these trains, buses and roads looking out the window, at a landscape totally bereft of beauty, but to me, somehow always full of life and wonder.

This mix consists entirely of music that was either made or released within the areas touched or bordered by these transport links, between 1990-1997… from Canning Town, Grays, Stratford, Horndon, East Ham, Benfleet and other stops in between. Why dedicate a mix to this area? Because this is music from where I grew up, from when I was growing up. Most of it was ignored or overlooked or just forgotten - a mix of progressive house, trance, acid house, techno, breakbeat, tribal and deep house, all sounds that I like to combine when I’m DJing. It’s the sound of home…
