This episode takes some time in establishing itself. Things start off with a bittersweet kissoff from Sudan Archives before transitioning into some Euro Footwork… and then moves on to some classic Jungle presha… before moving on to a club/techno mutation from Martyn’s mentee stable. That about sets out the colors for this mix, and it…

2021 Part II So here is the second episode of my look back at 2021. Quite a bit of “second verse, same as the first” to my look back at 2020, honestly. Lockdown hasn’t altered my pallet much at all. If anything, this episode features fewer curveballs and hews more to genre: disco/house -> techno…

This episode marks SIX YEARS of Step to the Music, which is truly wild to consider… It took me by surprise, so I basically made the episode I would have made but without giving myself any time constraint. What I ended up with was 97 minutes of footwork and jungle and finest blend of MISC…

This episode was me trying to bring more variety into my ~160 BPM mixes, but what surprises me almost a year later (how long I was stuck trying to find anything interesting to say about this mix) is how horny it is. I LIKE TRAINS start things off with their customary louche sinister vibe, Sully…

Just how many episodes can I begin with I LIKE TRAINS songs? I’ll just keep going until the singer’s tendency to recycle vocal melodies gets enough on my nerves to counteract the joy of the post-punk guitar hooks and tasty synth sonics… in other words, it’s possible that I’ll play every song on the album…

First episode after last week’s shenanigans, and I think it’s quite nice. Maybe not quite enough to make up for a missing two hours, but quite nice indeed. 160 BPM Footwork/Jungle, with some techno and club bangers and a few curveballs… including three remixes, at least one of which you’re BOUND to recognize… And things…

Here is the second episode (of two) in my look back on the music of 2020. Like I said for episode 197, there was a whole lotta great music for such a terrible year. An earlier version of this playlist would probably have run almost three hours. Even ruthlessly pruned (so many tunes on the…

Here’s another 160 BPM episode! As is usual with 160 eps, it features a lot of footwork and jungle and footwork/jungle hybrids. It also includes some underground club and pop-techno. Notably, I accidentally included two jungle tracks from the same producer (Pulse), and for some reason the BPM reverted from 164 back to 160(?!) and…

Holy crow! This episode marks FIVE FULL FRIGGIN’ YEARS of me doing this show! I wasn’t quite sure what to do… in the past special episodes have generally been extra long. One anniversary episode was the first I recorded using Traktor instead of put together in Ableton (which is now my usual method). Another anniversary…

Aloha Amigo-San While largely based in grime, this episode ranges quite widely, from Pottery’s wild Texan (though Canadian, actually) post-punk rave-up, to London for Silkie’s posh Dubstep and sinister instrumental grime from Terror Danjah and Johnny East… then to Portland for Modern Melodies and their slowed down take on Juke. Then we head back to…
