'Sup. I've emerged from retirement for a detailed exploration of reggae samples in jungle/D&B :)
A bit like the hip-hop & ‘give me a break’ samples mixes, this one's a laidback affair without any breakbeat/reconstruction stuff, but it covers the gamut of dub, reggae, roots & ragga (with some easter eggs chucked in), so I figured it can be part of the eclectic series. Note that I've taken pains here not to duplicate anything from the previous mixes, so if you get to the end and think (for example) 'where the fuck was Chase The Devil?', hopefully you'll trawl back through the playlist to find it.
In all honesty it was great fun to pull together, and I owe thanks to Matt (aka Rollin) over at Dogs on Acid for planting the idea. To divert briefly, this rekindling of my love for reggae came directly off the back of a mix I recently did for the Dubs On Acid Collective, an amazing charity project with some seriously talented guys. More news on that soon. I'm really chuffed to have been involved and strongly recommend checking out Volume One for a taste of what's to come: https://keepingtrack.bandcamp.com/album/dubs-on-acid
Back to the mix, and time to big up the Rolldabeats sample hunters once again as I shamelessly raided 90% of the tracklist from their forum - Phokus, Haste, DJ Dara, Ornette, The Manipulator, Mikeeee, JJ, Ian S, Dee Jay Budd, Dan Vye, Droid, Logic, Force Is Electric, JVXP, Serum, Mr Sensi, Blah, Caedo261 and probably a bunch of others I’ve forgotten (sorry), plus Jason 0=0 and the jungle beardstrokers over on FB.
Hope you enjoy the mix, there’s 80-odd tunes and I can't be bothered with a tracklist so just whack it on innit - if you want an ID just shout. As ever, comments and reposts are much appreciated, spread the love, cheers <3
