RACH - Sydonia Podcast [SYDP010] by SYDONIA RECORDINGS published on 2023-06-17T21:15:10Z SYDP0010: RACH @rachel-77 Closing the second segment of Sydonia's guest mixes we have RACH who brings us this incredible old skool/hardcore jungle mix! Based in Sheffield but originally from Oxford, Rachel went to her first rave at Roots Club, Oxford in 1993 where she heard jungle techno and jungle for the first time and instantly fell in love with the music. Her teenage years throughout the 90’s were spent raving mainly in Oxford and London with Raging Rabbit at Minchery Farm Country Club (Oxford) and Lazerdrome (Peckham, London) being her favourite haunts. Rachel moved north to Sheffield in 2000 where the music scene was very different. House and techno were dominant in the city and no one shared her love for jungle. Going with the flow, Rachel listened to more of these new sounds and even tried her hand at DJing hard house but this was short lived and she sold her decks about a year later. In 2012, Rachel met her partner, King Chuga, a drum n bass and jungle DJ. Rachel would try to mix jungle at home on vinyl but only really started taking it seriously in 2022 after being heavily influenced by DJ Mantra and Rupture. In 2023, RACH played her first jungle set at the EQ50 networking event at Planet Wax. Since then she has started a monthly radio show, Journey in the Jungle on Radio Free Matlock and is in the process of starting a new jungle community in Sheffield, Unity Underground, with monthly events starting in September. For this mix, RACH takes us back to when she first fell in love with the music, playing the tunes played regularly on Loaf and Don FM. Tracklist: 1. Undergraduates - Into Da Future 2.
