Happy 15th Birthday, Jungle
I was just checkin’ out this site called Golden Era Jungle and realized that this year marks the 15th birthday of Jungle. There are a whole bunch of 1993 mixes by DJs like Krome & Time, Remarc, and the one below by Dr. S Gachet. In Gashet’s 1993 mix you can still hear a lot of early hardcore rave music…
Track of the Week: DJ Flack “That Sound”
DJ Flack and I often reminisce about the era when 2-step garage was pop music in the U.K., and though many of the big hits there were on the R&B side of the fence, our faves were the ragga and dub influenced tracks like the ones on the 2001 compilation Garage Dubs — an obvious precursor to what would become…

Track of the Week: “Jesus Walks” Rmx.
You may have heard this one in a couple of my mixes; I’ve been spinning it for quite a while now. It’s stayed in my crate through thick and thin while numerous others have been tossed aside. You may have already found it too; it’s been available for free for at least a couple of years over at Soulchampion.com. The…

DJ Flack will be here in Chicago to play at Bouncement on Wednesday and I want to point your attention to his recent digi-album release, Strictly Scientifical.

Peter Hollo from Sydney, Australia’s Utility Fog radio show recently emailed asking if we could “bring Kid Kameleon out of hiding” for a Mashit DJ Mix. Soon thereafter Kid K popped his head out and offered up not just one, but a 2-part mix, to be released jointly by Mashit and the awesome London-based culture portal, Spannered. Here at Mashit…
Mashup of the Week: “Ain’t No Other Man” Blaerg Remix
Blaerg sent in this bangin’ remix of Christina Aguilera’s Ain’t No Other Man. As is often the case here, this track is really a remix rather than a combination-of-tracks mashup. Blaerg does however mash-up Amen and Think breaks, and stirs them in with a chopped-up version the DJ Premier produced Aguilera pop number. Download: Christina Aguilera; Ain’t No Other Man…
