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, 4H...

Evenin’ all, Fresh on the heels of Pt.6 is err… Pt.7! Usually we split them up with an IMPRINT, ICON or even My Old Skool mix, but there’s just too much amazing new music to play you. So, 35 tracks in the mix, hurtling towards the Top 5 tunes of the moment. Mix starts minimal and builds through quicker beats into a soulful conclusion. We have a myriad of Myriad, a couple of Creatures and two SL8Rs with a Fox - we sir, have a p...

Before we get back to the new stuff with the40 Pt.6 (due in March), it’s time to have a look over our shoulder at yesteryear and where it all began.

The focus will be that deeper, atmospheric (don’t call it intelligent) music from this time. Dominated by...

Evenin’ all! Back in September 2018 we bought you ‘Break – The Remixes’ on our 61st Back To The Future Podcast (still available btw 😉 ). Over 6 years and another 40 or so shows later, we bring you the next chapter. Break is still as prevalent on this show today as he was then, maybe even more so, and just as Iconic. You hear his influence so much these days through other artists and labels. That’s how important ‘the Producers ...

A bit of cross platform promotion incoming… Over on my Mixcloud page (https://www.mixcloud.com/d_mixes/) there’s a bunch of (non dnb) mixes. Usually I put them all on Mixcloud, but due to Mixclouds all artist phobia, they won’t let this one through. Music from across the kinda Future Soul, r&b and modern funk world. This years mix dominated by music from Kaytranda’s new LP, Timeless. If this is also a bit of you. Pop over and...

Wow! Here it is then - Evenin’ all! We started this series of shows in 2011, it’s been on at least 3 radio stations, a podcast on its own and a massive amount of fun - but it’s time for a change up!

Podcast 98, a DJ Randall inspired roll out. Saw him b2b with Bryan G at his residency recently, it was epic. Anyway, it made me want to get all those Watch The Ride and Randall tracks out for a mix.
