… Just to visually demonstrate how one might browse for an album on the internet. You can imagine my surprise that they chose to illustrate this with the one album in the universe that I am actually on.

So thank you, Computer Music, for putting my name and track into (very small) print, for absolutely no reason.

Look out for my free recipe cards in next week’s Woman’s Realm…

If you’d have asked me, it was only a matter of time, but with it has come another squirmy gesticulation to try and work out ‘what to call it all’. Following on from the messy “nu-rave” tug-o-war a few years back, “future jungle” is a label that’s been sprouting up of late.

Now, I know why this sort of genre churning comes about, it’s sort of 70% definition of nuance and 30% rebranding exercise. I’m fine with it, but it has made me ponder why ‘rave’ appears to be such a grubby word when it seems the most concise summation of the sound. Say ‘jungle’ to the layman and he’ll think of DnB, say ‘hardcore’ and he’ll think of punk porn. Your Mum/Nan/bank manager knows what rave is.

(… Hmm. Maybe that’s why…)

For starters, back at the end of August I supplied a brand new track for inclusion on a forthcoming compilation. And that compilation has just been released:

Future Rave Anthems 4

A new triple album on Can You Feel It, selected and expertly mixed by the man Vinyl Junkie.

Fifty brand new tracks, and three huge mixes, for a mere £9.99 £7.49! Click here for the tracklisting, and to bag your copy.

The contribution from me is Maniac, my latest Hardcore Breaks assault, ever-unfolding with mental stabs, solid breaks and hoovers going off left, right and centre. I’m really pleased with it, and what’s more it’s exclusive to this album.

Maniac

You can also hear a preview of the mixes on the Future Rave Anthems 4 page.

“He was hoping it’d get played at raves…”

This is a studio mix I put together in August/September 2008. As you will hear, it’s been quite intensively edited, layered and mixed together, along with a few ‘remix’ moments of my own conception (notably the Hold It Now, Hit It section and the amalgamation of 40 Miles, 7 Ways To Love and Sweet Harmony).

The mix is built as a complete blast through genres, the emphasis is on big breakbeats and grooves in all shapes and sizes.

I’d love to put together a Volume 2, I will if I can find the time between writing tracks.

Some unattributed quotes about it:

“really really good mix!”

“Sterling work”

“Got a Dirtchamber vibe about it”

“Been listening to this solid all night, amazing”
