I think Dubmatix and I might have been separated at birth or something, and I was adopted, so that’s feasible, right? Absolutely top 5 desert island Substacks.

It felt a little weird to be told that I’ve been doing this for 27 years. When I started, there were plenty of OG DJs to admire and I definitely wasn’t one of them. But at that time — in about 1998 — Drum and Bass had only existed for MAYBE five years.

It never occurred to me that, eventually, I’d become original.

This mix doesn’t contain a lot of original jungle. Mostly newer dark-minimal sort of thing.

In the eternally pithy words of Shy FX —

Na nee nee wooy; zinganinga na-na no no no.

Mi are di nuttah:Original madmah madmah mad nuttah.Original madamadamadamadamadamadamadamadah nuttah.Original madmah madmah mad nuttah.Original madamadamadamadamadamah.
