Time for another deep dive into an iconic label. One of the scene’s finest. Starting in 1993 and still as influential today as it was all those years ago, this label has launched careers, defined the genre and had some of the best parties around. This mix is going to focus on the first 10 years. A set of tracks dominated by Roni Size, Die, Krust, Dillinja, and also remixes from Origin Unknown and M.I.S.T.. this is all beats, bass and funky as f**k! When you look back over these tunes you can hear and see why this label is still around. For every year represented this label produced one of the tune’s of that year… From Jazz Note in 94’, Play it For Me in 96’ or The Power in 2000, always at the cutting edge. Simply one of the best. So let's get into it… IMPRINTS - V Recordings 1993-2003 - d mix & Evolve Roni Size - Kiss [1993] DJ Krust - Jazz Note [1994] Roni Size - It's A Jazz Thing (Ladies Mix) [1995] Roni Size - Fresh [1993] Roni Size - Agility [1993] Roni Size - Time Stretch (Origin Unknown 95' Re Lick) [1995] Lemon D - I Can't Stop [1995] Roni Size - Phizical [1994] Roni Size - All The Crew 'Big Up' (95 Lick) [1995] DJ Krust - Angles [1996] DJ Krust - Set Speed (DJ Krust Remix) [1995] Roni Size - Fashion [1995] Roni Size ft.

Happy New Year! What better way to bring in 2026 than ..err... listening to music from over 30 years ago! But regardless, time to jump into one of the most influential years in the history of the scene, 1993. The sound that year was defined by a shift toward faster, darker, and more complex beats. The Jungle/Drum & Bass sound embedded now. Hardcore was flying in 93 too, but we’ll get to that in Pt.2. For this first part we have everything from Lemon D to LTJ, Scott & Keith to Studio Pressure. Snappy beats, rolling amens and a load of classics. Next event for me is b2b with Miles Insight at Mr Vee’s Birthday bash in Peckham, January 17th. Check the flyer for details!

Since arriving on the scene in 1991 this London based producer has always been the standard for drums, bass and more bass. Working as Dillinja x Capone x Cybertron amongst other aliases this producer's sound is unapologetic, sonically awesome and instantly recognisable. We’ve decided to focus on our favourite time, so far, in his career, 1996 - 2001. This mix picks up tracks from this time across some of the biggest labels in the scene and includes a few game changing remixes for good measure.

Myth’s ‘Vol3’, Break’s ‘‘Vol2’ and just to be as unique as they are The Sauce with ‘The Hot Sauce Summer Dub Pack’! Add to that the best of whatever else has been out and we have our 40 tracks. With the other 10, I’ve had a go. I’ve picked my 10 favourite tunes of the last 35 years. Tracks from 1990 onwards - (I retain the right to change these by the time you finish reading this), but I’ve had a go. Also, next gig up, Underground Routes, upcoming October 11th in Hitchin. Tickets available from skiddle - I’ll be on a 92-93 Hardcore one - if you give us a follow you’ll see a promo mix I did on the YouTube page. The rest of the lineup is ridiculous too; come day party with us in Hertfordshire. Up after this mix we’re back to the ICONs with an all Dillinja mix… get ready for that. Before that, though…this.

IMPRINTS - Reinforced Records (1990-1996) - d mix & Evolve Reinforced Records. Inspired by a night in the Jazz Cafe recently with 4 Hero, Fabio and Grooverider amongst others. I thought it was time to jump into a truly foundational label. One of the first i collected actually! Founded in ‘89 by Marc Mac and Gus Lawrence then joined by Dennis McFarlane. Most of the early releases were combinations of the founders themselves, 4Hero, Manix and Tek 9. Moving towards late ‘92/’93 the label was at the forefront of the darker side of the music. Looking at Goldie with Rufige, the continued work of Doc Scott and Nasty Habits, and not forgetting 4Hero and the techier sample led sound of theirs. You also have to mention the Enforcers Series that was so popular and are still so sought after! I’ve decided to focus on the earlier music from Reinforced, finishing up just about where the ‘2nd Phase’ started. I’ll take you right up to ‘96. I’ll dedicate a final section to one of my favourite producers, Nookie. Who took the Reinforced energy and added that musicality he’s so well known for. Before that is a mix of other artists that shaped the sound of this label. From the craziness of Nick OD, the drums of Ray Keith, the pianos of Manix, the edge of Rider to ruffness of Rufige and the drums of Manix, the feel of Manix, basically Manix… stop saying Manix… Manix. Speaking of M***x, I've included three tracks in the mix from one of my favourite EPs of all time. Tune for tune a winner… the EP is Called ‘Oblivion (Head in the Clouds)’. Find me a better track for track EP… I’ll wait… Expect to hear everything from Rivet1201 all the way through to RIVET1293, I've had a lot of fun pulling out my favourites from this weighty back catalogue, I really hope you enjoy it.
