The40 (Drum and Bass)

Something different from us here at Back To The Future HQ for this podcast. If you could imagine the two 8’s of #88 as two bald heads, well that works pretty good for us follically challenged DJs of a certain vintage… especially myself, Mr Evolve and extra specially for this show DJ Uplift.

In fact myself and Uplift have been at this for a minute. We met on a station he ran in London, Addiction FM! .. err.. a few years ago... and It's always been a pleasure to b2b with him. A year ago we got together and played some of our favourite old music but for this show we wanted to do something different…

Uplift has been producing and DJing this genre for a while and has music coming out on scene stalwart, Cantina Cuts. He also graces the show with some forthcoming music from others and an exclusive look at a nearly finished track from himself! With all that in mind I felt it best for him to supervise our first trip into this style for the show.

What happened next was just like me and him on the radio in the 90’s, phone going crazy, beats flying everywhere and a 2 hour show passes in the blink of an eye!

It was great to have Lady M with us in the studio and we will get Part 2 of this done soon… definitely quicker than a year, we promise.

Back with the next of your Future, it’s time for outing number 87. Extra special show this month, joined by MC Fokus and Dan XS!

Tomorrow marks the debut release for X Bar Theory, (XBT Vol.1) on the legend of a label, Dispatch - Big up https://soundcloud.com/anttc1. Check out the video below for the title track, Style & Substance! The track is absolutely full of both.

In the interview we talk about the project, long distance collaborations and as always Hertfordshire… You can hear a sneak preview of the EP in the interview plus some more forthcoming Fokus goodness… Massive shout to https://soundcloud.com/the-medic-mc

The mix is something else though! Dan XS seamlessly through the styles with dubs and classics, incredible DJ and a real gent. Fokus delivers as only he can, clinically lifting the music and as he’d say, preserving the artform. So much fun having the lads in the studio!

So, a few new tunes to start, a couple to finish and possibly my favourite Marcus Intalex tune to finish as we remember him 5 years on x

A little late but worth the wait…

Fresh out the studio with a new show! A show jam packed with nearly 50 tracks, tracks from the last few weeks, tracks from a while back and tracks for an amazing cause.

A last minute addition to the proceedings is an 11 minute mini mix of the unbelievable Sofa King Sick IV LP! 14 Tunes from across the scene’s best, pushing the boundaries and styles again in true Sofa Sound fashion. The stand out track for me, is in the mini mix, and it’s DLR and Script’s contribution ‘A Different Style’, shout to Mikey Script!

Most importantly though is the music from the 3From and Last One. This show is dedicated to an amazing album, Together With Ukraine.

Over 130 exclusive tracks, cross genre with an impressive list of producers and artists, all have volunteered their time and art for the greater humanitarian need. Included with the album is some stunning artwork, moving and evocative images that from a perfect accompaniment to the music.

All revenue generated will be donated directly to the Ukrainian Red Cross Society. The album's minimum price is £12, though I think, if you can afford it, a bit more.

If you would like to read more and purchase the album..

Get ready for an extra special Back to the Future podcast, making his EruptionRadio.uk debut is DJ Evolve!

We’ve been doing this for a bit, but it was good to be back live in the studio together! We decided to make the most of our time by heading into London for 20 Years Of Critical at Printworks. A bit of live music, a couple of pints and a well timed Uber later and you can hear the result yourself below...

We trawled through the 200 + Critical tunes we own to get down to the 2 mixes, covering music from 2003 right up to this month… and whether it's the evolution of Enei, the collaborations (Circuits and Fade Black for inst) or even Charli Brix adding the soul to some of those tougher edges, it’s been a very special 20 Years.

We continue with Critical for both the 3From and the Last One and a supporting cast of new music from the last month fills the rest.

Enjoy / Share / Critical Music, completed it mate.

Recorded live on eruptionradio.uk at my new time of Saturday 8pm GMT, every other weekend, this is podcast 84!

As usual it’s jam packed with new music from the last month or so across a range of labels including The North Quarter, Vision, 1985, Carbon and Critical! This month we have a special 3From delivered by the most dedicated listener and his family, shout to @Noxxy1337

It’s weird uploading and promoting music with so much sadness in the air, be it the death of a true scene icon, R.I.P Skibadee!... or the horror of an invasion and the displacement of a peaceful people. I find music always helps me to stay grounded, positive and hopeful. So with that in mind, please enjoy the show.

Welcome along to the least Christmassy Christmas show you’ll ever listen to. Not a sleigh, jingle or bell in sight. What there is though, is 47 tunes in just over 2 hours.

We often struggle to record together these days, so this was a real treat. What we ended up with was 2 mixes, a few of my favourites from this year to open, a 3From an LP released this month, 3 new tracks as closers and an Evolve selected Last One.

Evolve’s mix takes you from around 1998 to 2021, driven by a few tracks from the monumental ‘Hard Times’ LP released in 2008 on DNAudio interspersed with some of his faves from this last 20+ years.

Mine is a full on party mix, with tracks ranging from 1997 right up to this month. A lively selection of classic tunes blended with what’s new and funky.

A shout to the Eruption family as ever. Eruptionradio.uk - setting the standard! A massive shout to them for the recent 24 hours DJ-athon in the name of Centrepoint.

Please use this link if you’d like to do your bit.

Following the success of the all Evolve affair we are back this month with another special show to mark our 80th outing. This month joined by legendary MC, Fokus.

Having emerged onto the scene in the early 00’s, based in Hertfordshire, Fokus has been building his reputation locally, nationally and internationally for over 20 years. We first met on Hertfordshire’s Impact FM around 2000/1. We were also lucky enough to acquire his talents for our Drum Project events.

From his time on Origin FM, to London events like Traffic, Renegade Hardware and the legendary Therapy Sessions, Fokus has been learning his craft well. I was lucky enough to watch him at his best at the Sofa Sound event in Bristol in September 2019, he was absolute class.

As you can see from his discography, versatility is key. Fokus is at home on a deep rolling beat as he is on the toughest and darkest of drums. Right from his first release in 2011 to now his choices for collaboration are important to him. A long standing partnership with show favourite label, Dispatch Recordings, has been a constant exemplified by last year's release of his solo release the massive ‘Frequencies EP’. Now working with other artists including DLR, Black Barrel, Dub Head, DBR UK, Tephra & Arkoze, Bredren and Ben Soundscape.

He has said… “I think it’s important for an MC in the Drum and Bass scene to evolve with the music and avoid the clichés. I like spending time on my written rhymes, but I also try to freestyle as much as possible. It’s more spontaneous and the crowd can really vibe off it. For me, a radio show is the perfect environment to chat about some deeper rhymes, as people can hear every word and appreciate the story or message within the lyrics”.

Expect lots of new music, an extra special last one and a special 4or5From as i’ll be having a chat with the man himself. Talking about everything from his start in music, collaborations, listening to some of his releases and even a chat about Happy Hardcore.

Recorded live on Eruptionradio.uk

About time we shared some new music with you! Following on from his last solo mission in November, DJ Evolve comes to Back To The Future with some new tunes, some classics and some chance of letting me near the decks!

With a mix of what’s caught his fancy recently and some absolute bangers from a while back, get ready for a real journey.
