I’m a huge hip hop fan, and primarily East Coast, listening to Nas and Wu-Tang long before Jungle cast it’s spell on me. Despite coming from the South, Scarface (of Geto Boys fame) was as real as any East Coast rap, with his very deep and grainy voice, simple but effective rhymes; I Seen A [...]

More 2 Bad Mice stuff, this time a mix and great write up courtesy of Fact Mag. The mix encompasses pretty much everything about UK hardcore from 1990 to 1992 with a few huge anthems like The Bouncer, Bombscare, London Sum’ting and Compnded. This time machine has been built for us by 2 Bad Mice, [...]

Back to 1994 with todays tune it is ‘Tiger Style’ by The Ganja Kru, who consisted of DJ Hype, Pascal and Zinc (not sure if they all produced on this). Rough and ready, typical of DJ Hype by this point, heavy sub bass, jump up vibes and frenzied beats and probably my favourite Ganja tune along side [...]

Havent done a tune of the day for a while, and then it occurred to me this landmark tune has not been posted yet. Obviously inspiration for the Drumtrip website, Kaotic Chemistry aka 2 Bad Mice with their second release (first under this guise) on Moving Shadow back in 1991; on the brilliant ‘Five In One [...]

As mentioned in the Manix interview and mix post a few months ago 4Hero are bringing back the Manix guise and releasing a proper vintage ‘back to 92′ album, full of brand new material. As Marc Mac mentioned he has dusted off the Akai sampler and the Atari, dug up all the old breaks and [...]

Totally irrelevant to the site content but Drumtrip had been struggling with a little surge in traffic lately and the old VPS was having trouble keeping up. After searching and finding some great VPS Hosting, I migrated the whole site (effort!) to a brand server with 10 times the capacity, so it should keep us [...]

I thought it would be appropriate to re-up the original DJ Crystl mix, recorded in April 2007 (a whole 4 years ago). This one features all the classics, including of course Warpdrive which is maybe one of my favourites of any genre ever and all the big ones from Deejay and Lucky Spin. Part two [...]

You cannot fail to notice that Drumtrip (mostly me) loves pretty much everything DJ Crystl put his hand to. No one made amens, strings and that spacey vibe to tracks like Daniel Chapman and a few years a ago I did a tribute mix to the man featuring all the biggest DJ Crystl tracks which [...]
