It's A Lot‪!‬ It's A Lot!

Here we are, the first mix of 2022! And it's one I've been trying to get arranged since August last year...

Life got in the way for so many of us, so to finally have Manchester's @tht_grl dropping a fire Drum & Bass mix is a real bonus. She's been smashing the local DnB and UKG scene of late, with bookings left, right and centre and is a regular at the 'Ghosts of Garage' and 'Not Bad For A Girl' events.

Go follow her as she's one to watch this year!

I'm all about pushing new UKG these days, but every now and then you need to take a step back and remember where the sound has come from.

This mix is heavily set around 'The Lost Years' of UKG, something @djbrainz and @robphonetix talk a lot about in their podcast (go check that out!! https://intheukgarage.com/), but also featuring more classic UKG cuts thrown in for good measure.

Is the mixing perfect? No! Is it a vibe? I think so, hopefully you will to!

For #037, we welcome producer and DJ - @littlefoot.

Littlefoot has been making UKG and Bassline since around 2007 which has been described as containing "...repeated echoes here of ‘00s-style R&B, but it sounds as if it’s been reconstructed by an AI rather than sampled directly; they’re ghostly robots, warbling yearning ditties." and "UK-garage-derived rhythms are stripped apart and rebuilt in strange new forms, topped off by sad, yearning vocal snippets.. which nag at your emotions long after you’ve heard them." (Joe Muggs, Bandcamp Best Electronic Music of the Month 2020 and 2021).

This mix brings together the recent works, finished productions, some deep dives on Bandcamp, a few obscure vinyl-ripped oldies and just straight bangers from the last months releases from the UKG and Bassline spectrum. Mixing is top draw, selection is on point and you just need to take listen!!

It's been 8 months since #033, and in that time I'd even technically 'retired' from DJ-ing as I didn't see where it was going during the pandemic. And even after loving being back in Pirate Studios, I don't know whether this is me back or not.

The past 12 months have given me a to think about, and turning 40 in December has also put life into perspective.

We'll see what 2021 brings, but I'm not gonna push it. This mix is nearly 2 hours, and barely scratched the surface of what's out there. Of course, I missed loads I wanted to play, but there you go!
