Mixes

This was among a load of cassettes I picked up a few weeks back, and is the best jungle mix I've ever heard - but it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the net (in fact, I can only even find reference to the LP and CD versions, which were unmixed). So I just recorded it onto MP3 for you. It's sooooo good.

I might have to re-record it tbh mate, the sound quality isn't as good as it should be. Still, have a listen - it's a perfect mix.
 
This ambient Surgeon mix from Free Rotation is awesome:

This hybrid DJ / Live Set was recorded in a yurt structure at the Freerotation Festival in Wales. This time my idea for the set was to take us all much further out, much deeper inside than the set from last year. A more disembodied experience.

As I had done last year, I sat on the floor in front of the speakers to perform instead of behind them as a DJ normally does. This greatly enhanced my feeling of experiencing the set with the audience, dissolving the usual performer / audience divide.
Below is the list of tracks that I played in addition to live improvisation using a eurorack modular system.

Many thanks to Steevio, the whole Freerotation crew and everyone who experienced it there with me.

Fracture - xlr8r mix

"After nearly a decade in dance music purgatory, drum & bass and jungle have gradually worked their way back into the spotlight. Throughout this process, few labels have proven more reliable than dBridge's Exit Records, and the imprint's latest offering, the Loving Touch EP, comes from Fracture (a.k.a. Charlie Fieber), a veteran UK producer who also heads up a quality imprint of his own, Astrophonica, with partner and frequent collaborator Neptune. On the record's title track, Fracture flips Ralphi Rosario's and Xavier Gold's house classic "You Used to Hold Me" into a hyperkinetic piece of drum & bass, while the remainder of the EP finds him working bits of footwork, grime, hip-hop, and dubstep into a jungle template. On a basic level, this sort of hybridization and creativity is at least partially responsible for the revitalization of drum & bass, and hearing these tunes left us curious about how the approach would work in an elongated format. As such, we invited Fracture to put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series."

It wasn't pretentious.

of course it was.

This hybrid DJ / Live Set was recorded in a yurt structure at the Freerotation Festival in Wales. This time my idea for the set was to take us all much further out, much deeper inside than the set from last year. A more disembodied experience.

I sat on a floor and played some ambient tunes in a tent at a festival, it was wicked

he is a (excellent) DJ, not an entry in the Turner Prize
 
standing infront of the sound when you dj is a much more intimate experience, for crowd and dj - hearing what they hear - some roots soundsystems have come to this conclusion long ago...being "behind the decks", needing Monitors, and even headphones to a much lesser extent, are a barrier between the dj and crowd. It does open you up to people coming up and knocking things over and speaking to you, which is both good and bad.

personally i lose a lot of enjoyment if the dj is on any kind of a raised platform...all these things are important
norman jay up on the top deck is an exception to that
 
Plus, this was an ambient set for casualties to drool to in a pleasant tent. Being in front of the speakers on the floor would have encouraged that vibe.
