It's A Lot!

Here we are, the first mix of 2022! And it's one I've been trying to get arranged since August last year... Life got in the way for so many of us, so to finally have Manchester's @tht_grl dropping a fire Drum & Bass mix is a real bonus. She's been smashing the local DnB and UKG scene of late, with bookings left, right and centre and is a regular at the 'Ghosts of Garage' and 'Not Bad For A Girl' events. Go follow her as she's one to watch this year!

I'm all about pushing new UKG these days, but every now and then you need to take a step back and remember where the sound has come from. This mix is heavily set around 'The Lost Years' of UKG, something @djbrainz and @robphonetix talk a lot about in their podcast (go check that out!! https://intheukgarage.com/), but also featuring more classic UKG cuts thrown in for good measure. Is the mixing perfect? No! Is it a vibe? I think so, hopefully you will to! 01. @mikedelinquent Ft. @kcatmusic - My Destiny (E1D 2 Step Special) (2006) 02.

For #037, we welcome producer and DJ - @littlefoot. Littlefoot has been making UKG and Bassline since around 2007 which has been described as containing "...repeated echoes here of ‘00s-style R&B, but it sounds as if it’s been reconstructed by an AI rather than sampled directly; they’re ghostly robots, warbling yearning ditties." and "UK-garage-derived rhythms are stripped apart and rebuilt in strange new forms, topped off by sad, yearning vocal snippets.. which nag at your emotions long after you’ve heard them." (Joe Muggs, Bandcamp Best Electronic Music of the Month 2020 and 2021). This mix brings together the recent works, finished productions, some deep dives on Bandcamp, a few obscure vinyl-ripped oldies and just straight bangers from the last months releases from the UKG and Bassline spectrum. Mixing is top draw, selection is on point and you just need to take listen!!

It's been 8 months since #033, and in that time I'd even technically 'retired' from DJ-ing as I didn't see where it was going during the pandemic. And even after loving being back in Pirate Studios, I don't know whether this is me back or not. The past 12 months have given me a to think about, and turning 40 in December has also put life into perspective. We'll see what 2021 brings, but I'm not gonna push it. This mix is nearly 2 hours, and barely scratched the surface of what's out there. Of course, I missed loads I wanted to play, but there you go!

7 months. 7 months since my last mix, and boy does it feel like a lifetime ago. And it's not for lack of wanting to put one out. The global pandemic royally fucked us all over, and has meant that I've not been able to get to Pirate Studios until recently. And I will say that I'd been flip-flopping over whether to even bother to put another mix out. I've no idea if I have any relevance in the UKG scene any more (if I ever did!!) but I won't let it put a damper on this. So here it is, #033 . (Just) over 100 minutes of UKG from the lost time that is 2020. I had a really nice time putting this together, so I hope you all have a listen and shake a leg to it if you're feeling it.

Here is mix number two for 2020, and this time we have an hour of power from @LoProfyl. And it doesn't disappoint! Hailing from East London Lo Profyl (pronounced Low Profile in case you wondered) is a DJ influenced by various different musical genres (house, soul, breakbeat, funky, bass etc) and although there may be tastes of these genres in his DJ sets, his main focus is his beloved UKG. With some of his own productions in the works Lo Profyl aims to be more active creatively in the future too. A wicked blend of 4x4 and 2-step UKG (and a splatter of Funky) with a focus on the current sound from producers including Mind Of A Dragon, TuffCulture and Para to name a few! This is definitely a mix worth checking out.

It only seemed right to get another set down with an MC, and this is a first for this current mix series. For #026 I got G Dot Riz into the studio to lay down some bars over an hour of fresh UKG. Here's what he said when I asked for a bit of background... "I Love UKG music and have done since I was a teenager, inspired by my good friend MC Easyrider (RIP), so it wasn't too long before I was practising lyrics and then started to take it a bit more seriously. I’ve played out at various events around the south, supporting the likes of DJ Cartier, Matt Jam Lamont, Artful Dodger, Sunship, Rossi B & Luca and I was resident MC at UKGU in Guildford. I've worked closely with Mr Chimps and have guested on stations such as Deja Vu, Divine, FreshSoundz, UK Raw, Confetti Digital, EmpireLDN to name a few. I'll be linking up with the NOSA crew this year for a new chapter in music for me."
