Probably the first DnB song I ever heard as my Nana and Uncle were both massive Jamiroquai fans and this was on heavy rotation in the late 90s.

Still Finding Doubles
Even after all these years, decades even, I'll find myself mixing two songs I have not mixed together before. I was playing a fairly modern neuro set and decided to dip into some older, classic, tech step and old neuro. And I found myself mixing these two which I kept rewinding to hear the double drop over and over. Lol, I enjoyed it!
Wassup neuro-lovers
So today, I saw a instargram story from one guy where someone played Gydra - lava run (maybe vip, maybe gridlok remix) and when i heard the drop (u could hear "Lava Run" and then the drop goes straight for that rolling twisting thing (i fckin love it)
I dont know the name of this remix/bootleg and I need it to hear the whole track😭 Can anybody help me out? Us it like dubplate or something?🥺
video form story bellow.
I absolutely feel those two guys cuz i was acting the same even in my flat lol. This one goes rly hard and i want to be addicted. HELP ME OUT NEURO GURUS😭
New Release
Andy C Electric Forest - ID?
This set was BONKERS! Anyone able to help me find this ID?
Michael from Annix seems to be having a little crashout
Really weird as they’ve usually been pretty chill, but it seems this dude has decided to post a weird gatekeep-y and homophobic opinion and is doubling down, then trying to kick George out of the team.
edit: for those curious, he joined in the homophobic bullying of Nathan X on this reel via his story, and went on a tirade about how the “nAzIs” don’t like it when you have an oPiNiOn. George (who manages their label) told him to remove it.

Dieselboy & Dara - Live At Bassrush (1996)
youtube.comPirate radio storys
Defection wasn’t just pushing boundaries in the music, it was innovating in how it stayed on air.
One of the key strategies we developed was what we called the “jack-in-the-box.” Instead of leaving transmitters exposed and easy to find, we’d drop them down into pipes and secure them using a car jack, locking them in place, hidden, and hard to reach.
At the time, this wasn’t common. Most setups were still vulnerable, easy for the DTI to track down and remove. But this changed the game.
Suddenly, even when they knew roughly where the signal was coming from, getting to it was a different story. It slowed them down, threw them off, and for a good stretch, had them completely baffled.
That breathing space meant everything.
While they were trying to work out what was going on, Defection kept broadcasting, kept building, kept pushing the sound forward.
It’s a reminder that the innovation wasn’t just in the music, it was in the methods, the mindset, the willingness to think differently just to stay heard. 📡🔥
Rastaman - Unknown
Anyone know who made this?
Rastaman was written on the white label by previous owner and there’s no markings on the run off
Next rave in town
I just saw the Line Up by accident and got my Ticket right away. Thank God there's going to be another proper jungle rave nearby soon.
Weekend Rush Fm
A huge thank you to everyone who has downloaded the e-book or picked up a paperback copy of Weekend Rush – A Pirate Radio Story. The support, reviews, messages, shares, and word of mouth have been amazing.
Seeing people reconnect with the memories, discover the story for the first time, and spread the word has meant a lot. What started as a story that needed telling has reached far more people than I ever imagined.
Big respect to everyone who has supported the journey so far. Thank you all.📡🔥 👊
What happened to James Smith aka Phobia?
James Smith aka Phobia has been releasing on music since the 2000s and had been actively releasing tunes on some of the most important DNB labels like Renegade Recordings, Renegade Hardware, Flex Records, Critical, Ingredients and many more.
My introduction to DNB happened in the year of 2011 which is why I am going back to all the older music and albums that I didn't know of at the time. And because of this I haven't been listening to or keeping up with what's getting released at the moment. But the more I listen to the older music from the scene, the more I go down this incredible rabbit hole of digging up older releases, the more I keep stumbling upon amazing artists, record labels and albums full of solid gold. And I have stumbled upon the heavyweight list of tunes by Phobia.
Phobia seemed to be a mainstay on Hardware and their previous iteration, Renegade Recordings. I was able to find many of the releases on good quality lossless FLAC audio files. But I was wondering what happened to him as according to Discogs, Phobia stopped releasing music since the 2010s. Does anyone know if he still makes music? Or what he currently does or what made him stop releasing music?
Man has released some sick, brutally heavy music on Hardware. Leaving links below to some of my favourite Phobia tunes:
Phobia - Future Soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW4FZTf27w4
Ink & Dylan - Need You [Phobia remix] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuQHl8oD12E
But Phobia - Warlock has to be the heaviest Phobia tune I have heard, I mean that Reese bassline! What an incredibly heavyweight bassline!
