A brief return to the very early days of jungle. Some of the darker side as well as the light.
Sublight: “New Crack City” Classic DJ set
Shifting into the future of Drum & Bass. A very dark future for the time being.
Sublight: “Bubble Dubs & Scrapes” Classic DJ set
Jungle records played at 33 instead of 45rpm create deep, dubby breaks that I could never resist. A technique I learned first from Nat [RIP] way back in ’94.
Sublight: “Minimal Boom” Classic DJ set
Swinging acid techno.
Sublight: “Deep Resonance Techno” Classic DJ set
Release your inner weirdness.
Sublight: “Very Funky Weird New” Classic DJ set
It gets weirder. A fusion of many styles and genres.
Sublight: “Livid Short Red Feeling” Classic DJ set
A quick jump-up junglist strike.
Sublight: “Oyster Dub Monk” Classic DJ set
I was getting into a lot of hip hop, and I’d be crate digging at Rotate, Peter Dunn’s Vinyl Museum, Dr. Disc in Hamilton (and even London), and of course the obligatory visits to Play De Record and Traxx (before it closed). Even Record Peddler [RIP] was a great source for hip hop for a while there. Anyhow, it came down to experimenting with beats and textures and cuts and so on. Which at first sounded a bit dodgy, but eventually became a solid adjunct to my jump-up and jungle sets.Trainspotters will also notice the genesis of a new name, which would not be used for another decade or so.
Sublight: “Naughty, Big & Bouncy” Classic DJ set
1998, a year of discovering turntablism thanks to the exposure from my friend Ryan7 – a techno DJ with hip hop roots. Checking out battles, DMC champs and crate digging a whole lot of new influences….
Sublight: “Deeper (part 2)” Classic DJ set
Live to air recording on the Deeper radio show, CFFF 92.7FM, Peterborough Ontario
