Fresh Soup

It's the turn of the 1990s, and the sound that Fabio and Grooverider had honed at London's infamous Rage club night was influencing a whole new generation of ravers; names like Goldie and 4hero shaping a new direction with their label's Metalheadz and Reinforced, the former beginning as a dubplate offshoot of the latter. A mutation of acid house that would form the basis of drum and bass in the latter half of the decade, the junglism of the early '90s is captured in its raw and primal essence by DJ Simm in his latest genre deep dive. Welcome to 'Jungle Origins'.

Accompanying their chat, Pete ups the tempo for a session of Goodgreef-inspired thumpers guaranteed to shatter the woozy weekend peace of your neighbours.

From altering the krautrock landscape to inspiring those across the Atlantic who changed the face of electronic music forever, there are few true 'icons' in the history of music, Kraftwerk are those who can ascend that title. Formed in 1970, the Düsseldorf pioneers were early on the uptake of new technology, and rewrote the rulebooks for what a 'band' could be. Anyone with more than a passing interest in the robotic German experimentalists will know that our Øhm Sweet Øhm is a fan, so it is fitting that his latest Soup see's him splashing headfirst into one of music's most momentous back catalogues. Vorwärts!

A public service announcement for those lucky vagabonds who've been living off grid, holed up in a treehouse in Borneo: things are a bit shit. It's a new year, though, and a new day.

If you can polish off 12 pills on a night out, you should be able to eat three jacket potatoes slathered in cheese on and tuna mayonnaise without running yourself over. Amirite? It seems the ability to consume ecstasy and starchy root vegetables are not mutually exclusive for our pint-sized friend. But what a pooch. All that has nothing to do with this mix, mind, so without further ado: here's Buck Houston's first for 2021, a familiar amalgam of rhythms from around the world to soundtrack your Sunday.
