1993 Deep Dark Dirty DnB - 30th Anniversary Mix

1993 was a unique year in dance music, an unforgettable one for me personally, and I think one of the high water marks of British electronic music. 

New York and London were power houses. On the US east coast you had crew 'hardcore' rap blowing up (Leaders of the New School, Wu Tang, Lords of the Underground etc), whilst on the house scene there were the first tunes with a clear garage shuffle (Todd Edwards, Masters At Work, Swing 52 etc), which would go on to seed the UKG sound a couple of years later.

In Britain the full-throttle-techno scene was booming with the infamous Club UK opening in London and Spiral Tribe doing illegal acid techno damage, ambient techno hit a new gear with classic releases from Aphex Twin, B12, Black Dog etc, but for me the most exciting music came out of the breakbeat rave scene, with a new wave of innovations that took things faster, wilder, and off in new directions. By the middle of 1992 the average rave track had zoomed away from house grooves to around 140bpm, but by the end of 1993 160bpm had become the new standard.

And within that new tempo bracket a slew of sub genres were born. There were tunes that kept with the rave stab and piano feels of 1992, but also deeper, so-called intelligent rollers most associated with Bukem and his Good Looking label, stompier jungle techno cuts championed by the likes of Tango & Ratty, the first classic no-longer-proto jungle tunes, happy hardcore was in its infancy, and above all there was a huge amount of darkcore tunes, squeezing bizarre new sounds out of the available technology. Whilst it was not uncommon to hear tunes from all of the above on a night out or played together on pirate radio in my experience the dominant sound were tunes that lent towards the deep the dark and the dirty.

It has to be said that a lot of people bailed out of the rave scene at this point, due to the darker turn in vibe and direction. One reason for the change in mood that doesn't get talked about much was a change in drug use. The pure loved-up empathy inducing MDMA of the second summer of love was replaced by "pills", which could have all manner of drugs within them. One infamous and common batch in 1993 was the Snowball. Supposedly these weren't MDMA but MDA - a very different, more psychedelic thing it turns out. 

I read once that the source of these snowballs came from a government laboratory in Latvia. After splitting from the Soviet Union, Latvia needed Western currency and had the advantage of no drug laws, so they joined up with a German businessman to produce MDA for export as Ecstasy. This went well for a couple of years until a consignment of 10 million tablets was intercepted in Frankfurt airport, since when MDA has been rare. This along with increased use of coke and crack must surely have had a partial effect on the sound, leading to a new intensity and I would go as far as to say profundity....some serious tunes in 93!

So yeah, the mix here focusses on some personal favourites in that deep dark and dirty vein - these are the kind of tunes that spring to mind when I think of 93....sounds like had never been heard before, nasty drum programming and a mystical ruff ride down long dark tunnels and occasionally back out into the light. 

I love 93 to bits so I really wanted to get this mix just right and ended up putting several weeks into this, tweaking the track selection and order, working out double breakdowns and double drops and practising the long mixes...hope you enjoy it. Big dedication to everyone who likes it dark and to all the 93 heads, 30 years on and still rolling... x

Jah Shaka Music - Tribute To The Zulu Warrior

Jah Shaka has died and I find it hard to not feel resentment to the way that his life and legacy has barely warranted a mention in the UK mainstream media. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but what with there being a current mood of recognising the importance of black history and culture amongst institutions who previously didn't, at least on that level I'd expect more interest. For Shaka is a huge figure in not just roots reggae, not just soundsystem culture, not just British music, but music and culture globally. The extent of his influence is perhaps not fully recognised. 

1980s Jamaica gradually saw a shift in the dominant musical message, moving on from a sacred Rasta driven message to the more profane dancehall sound. But here in the grey and politically tense London streets of the 1980s Shaka not only kept alive that message but reinvented it into a more militant sound, creating a template which would lead to a wave of new UK dub producers in the 1990s, and in turn inspire producers around the world from 2000s onwards.

There were many other soundsystems in the UK at the time but through his works I would say Shaka more than any other solidified a pure, forward stepping, uncorruptible musical attitude, a bedrock of so much music that followed. Shaka elevated soundsystem culture to the highest of heights. He is a shining example of how a great DJ isn't just blankly playing other peoples records but can make those tunes their own, and can make the playing of records equal to playing an instrument.

He schooled and inspired a generation. He united a multi-ethnic audience under an uncompromising universal Rasta message. He walked the narrow path without ever faltering, with no commercial compromise, guided purely by an unshakeable spiritual sense of justice and righteousness.

Shaka's selection is a genre of its own, many an obscure tune can be filed as a 'Shaka Killer'. But Shaka was also a producer, and his label Jah Shaka Music a crucial home for his unique UK roots sound. For this tribute mix I'm playing some favourites released on the Jah Shaka Music label, 80s, 90s, and 00s. The majority feature Shaka as producer and sometimes vocalist, though there are also some tunes here produced by Shaka's son Young Warrior, Mad Professor, and others. Am playing these tunes live here in a soundsystem style... Love to all Shakaites.... Jah Shaka never to be forgotten, message will live forever...Journey on...

Tuff Garage Set - Live at Southside Sessions

This is a recording of me playing the final set at the xmas Southside Session at the Fox in Lewisham. The recorded audio was coming straight from the mixer so is without the vocals of the mighty MC Profit who was on the mic for this. A whole bunch of recordings (including download links) from the night are now up on the Southside Sessions Youtube channel - do check them out and subscribe as there'll be more recordings going up there in the future.

Was a great night, pure vibes. Here I'm playing mainly nuskool tracks with a couple of older nuggets in there for good measure. Big tunes guaranteed. You can check my set out on Youtube:

Robert Owens: A Tribute to The Voice of House Music

Paying tribute to vocalist Robert Owens - for me The Voice of house music. He's been doing it since day one, setting the mood and message to so many foundational records, and blessing productions of different styles to this day. 

From the start House music has always been euphoric but it is also the sound of struggle...the pain of the black, and gay,  US experience is often right there in many of those early Chicago house records, and Robert Owens voice and lyrics capture it like no one else....hurt, love, liberation, pain, ecstasy. 

In this mix I've concentrated more on the modern productions that he sings on. The classic records with Larry Heard are well known, but if you are new to him and don't know them then do get hold of the 1988 album Another Side < an all time classic. Kicking off this mix with the first Fingers Inc release from 1986.

His legacy runs deep and it seemed right to run out the mix with a few of the great UK Drum & Bass records he's vocalled on. Also look out for a little dubplate special in there, a cover of Larry Heard's Can U Feel It from my man Fez, with additional production touches from me. 

Last summer me and the Shack crew had the best of times DJing down at Mucky Weekender...a top festival with some fantastic acts on the bill. Closing the weekend out was Robert, djing and singing live. Such a moving experience being in his presence - his wonderful voice still reaching those spots others don't. Total legend. Big loving dedication on this to RMVT xx

Behold The Spear! Burning Spear Classics, Versions, Rarities and Dubplates

Winston Rodney aka Burning Spear is coming to play two dates in the UK this summer; the last time he played here was over twenty years ago, and having announced his retirement some years back its fair to say there's real excitement building ahead of these upcoming shows. In anticipation this seemed like the perfect time to put together this mix of some of my favourite Spear cuts, including a few version excursions, rarities and unreleased dubplate mixes.

Although I've long loved Burning Spear material it was only when I got a better understanding of Jamaican music in chronological order that I came to recognise just how original and groundbreaking his material was. My impression is that the early recordings that came out on Studio One perhaps more than anyone else at the time created a blueprint for the Rasta-driven, conscious roots reggae sound that was to come and take over the world. These cuts just seem on another spiritual level to other music that came out at that time. 

What came next was higher-level yet - the 1975 Marcus Garvey album produced by Jack Ruby, is a start-to-finish roots classic. This was snapped up and remixed by UK's Island Records, which with Island's distribution power allowed for the music to reach a wider audience and cement his legendary legacy on the global stage. Not many people outside of JA have heard that original Jack Ruby non-Island recording, as the vinyl is rare and no quality reissue (CD or otherwise) has been released - it is also stringently copyright-blocked online. Hopefully one day that will be reissued with the care it deserves.

For me perhaps more than any other singer Burning Spear captures in his voice, lyrics and writing that true humble lion power: strength, humbleness, love and Rasta consciousness in perfect combination. He had the grounding spirit of an elder even at a young age.The spear burns on and on...

Back To The Future 1992 Rave Mixtape

The UK breakbeat rave sound of 1992 celebrates its 30th anniversary! I'm marking this milestone with a mixtape: in a classic C90 cassette style two sides of 45mins each, taking in the spectrum of sounds of the era. It was a year when tempos raced ever faster and so the theme here is Side A has tunes at the 130-140 bpm mark, and Side B 150+ bpm tunes. Across the two mixes I've tried to touch on a range of the sounds that dominated the raves: some pianos, endless stabs, some vocals, some heavyweight hardcore, some jungle tinges, and towards the end going into the darker moods that would become more dominant in 1993. Some well known cuts and some rarer ones in there too.

I think you'd be hard pressed to pick a more explosive moment in British music history than the raves of 1992. The momentum of electronic dance music was building ever stronger and reached a big bang moment in 1992, rave went from being a more underground and exclusive thing to blowing up across the country - your local leisure centre might have Grooverider playing at it on any given Saturday! 

The melting pot of punters and producers became ever greater, including an influx of urban, suburban and country young guns, and I'd say the musical melting pot became the most eclectic it has ever been in dance music: so many ideas and influences thrown against the sampler wall. And a great moment of grassroots music making too - the whole industry from producers, distro, sellers, radio, events was grown from the bottom up. DIY all the way.

I think the 1992 sound, although so anthemic for those who were there, has now been slightly sidelined as the tunes are a touch out of step with modern sensibilities, modern tastes are a bit leaner and more refined. But that's the joy of 1992 - it was driven by a wide-eyed don't give a fuck and having it attitude that's hard to recreate after the fact.

Really hope you enjoy these two mixes. Big love as always to all my 92 raving gang, also to you and your raving gang, and special dedication to Class of 92 raver Neil DJ Orange Peel - RIP mate, never forgotten. If you want more there are more 1992 mixes on my blog here, here, here, and also this recent 1992 strictly Junglism one.

Southside Sessions: Bumping House & Jumping Garage

Along with a couple of friends we're starting up a new series of club nights in my patch of South London - calling these nights the Southside Sessions. The launch is a night of Garage, House and 2 Step at the Fox & Firkin in Lewisham. Hopefully that will become a regular jam, already plans afoot for a summer session with Jeremy Sylvester headlining, and we've plans to a get a Jungle & DnB night up and running at a different venue too.

So to celebrate the launch here's a promo mix of bumping and jumping house, classic uk garage, and some other boundary pushing shuffles - aiming to capture some of the range of music you might hear at the night.

Kicking off with a couple of 1993 foundational US garage tunes, moving on to a couple of later 90s bombs before rolling through some of the range of modern garage influenced tunes out there in recent times.

Foundational Deep House 1987-1991 vs Fresh Deep House

A double bill of deep house: with a foundational mix from me, and a guest mix of fresh deep house from f3z.

There's so much house music that gets called deep these days, which is fair enough as there's many a way of going in, but this first mix is all about the original incarnation. Tracks full of sweet melancholy, rolling with no rush, drawing on the spirit of street soul and the logic of dub, and providing an emotional core to the endless second summer of love.

Featuring heavily are classic tunes from New York labels like Strictly Rhythm, Fourth Floor, and a big dose of the almighty Burrell Brothers driving the Nu Groove sound. Also touching a couple of Chicago tracks, from godfather of this sound Larry Heard and Robert Owens. A couple of rarer cuts in there too, including a previously unreleased instrumental version of Sha-Lor's 1987 deep anthem I'm In Love. 

New York and Chicago both get some serious snow in winter, and there's something warming and fitting about this sound for the winter months. Larry Heard recalls on making his deep house anthem Can You Feel It "it was in the winter and at that time I was living in this apartment that had these really big windows, kind of a loft place, and I had a view of downtown Chicago and it was snowing. All of my friends that were over that night, they all remember that visual of the snow falling and this music playing." I love to picture that! Here's hoping this mix brightens up these dark months....
