oMD solid Mix up involves the acid Break Beats. Takes me back to the early 90s Basics. a bit of No U TURN  Moving shadow  and Suburban Base. and the Metalheadz

All Digital mix of his early tunes. From his first one on Cert 18 up to the end of his initial run of heavily breaks based tunes around 1996. His beats went more tech and sparse in 97 but this selection is peak Think, Amens, bongos and Apaches coupled with trademark dubwise basslines. Real Kemistry & Storm tunes. His production back then was pretty loose and experimental and it all adds to the ragged dubbed out flavour running side by side with the crunchy pads, strings and atmospherics. Proper deep journey tunes showcasing the studio time with Photek and Spirit that was likely going on at that time... Only got through half the tracks I had pulled out in 90mins so this is prob Round One.

Esc - Creation Myth [DSCI4]

This mix collects the 15 solo tracks Flytronix (aka Danny Demierre) released on Moving Shadow from 1995 to 1997. These include the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Encounta 12"s, 3 remixes, and 2 contributions to the Storm From the East compilations.

Flytronix was on a (rare) tear then, producing all-time classics The Rhode Tune and NRG & Consciousness, as well as deep cuts brimming with jazzy, unpredictable musicality. Flytronix drops never revealed everything at once; he would gradually layer on drums and instruments with a storytelling sense largely lost in jungle/dnb today.

It's just Danny here. His collaborations with Alex Banks, JMJ, and Peshay are worth independent study, as are his tracks from 1998 onwards, especially the Archive LP. RQ's artwork brilliantly mashes up Flytronix' artwork for the 2nd and 4th Encounta 12"s. Track list is below. Enjoy!

For this months Producer In Focus Episode it seems only fitting to shine the spotlight on Paul Saunders a.k.a WAX DOCTOR seeing as i featured a heap of his 1992 releases in my Basement Records label mix earlier this month.
Wax Doctor was a key figure in the early 90s Rave, Jungle and Drum & Bass scene.  Collaborating with notable producers like Alex Reece (Fallen Angels, Unit 1, Jazz Juice, Lunar Funk), DJ Pulse (Bounty Killaz) & Pascal (Clone Inc.) he played a major part  in shaping the atmospheric side of drum and bass, contributing to iconic labels like Metalheadz, Creative Wax, and R&S.
This mix focuses on the period between '93 and '95 featuring solo work,  collaborations and any remixes he did for others under either Wax Doctor or his Simon Templar pseudonym.
