DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 14 - 1992 (Part 2 )

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 13 - 1992 (Part 1 )

"....This is the 13th chapter in a series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - tracks that were big in clubs and on pirate radio where i was - East London mainly - but in '92 this sound was taking over the country.

1992 holds a special place for a lot of people and its pretty clear why when you check the music that was around that year - previously there had been house influences but now the music was almost all made in the UK, all breakbeats baselines and samples, it sounded like a new and totally different music - the kind of thing that your parents say 'what the hell is that, its not proper music'...

Another aspect of the music round this time is that the bpm of the music started speeding up - I'll do these 1992 mixes in rough bpm order so the speed doesn't jump around too much, and as with the other mixes no triple drop acrobatics, just simple mixing.

Thanks for all the messages about this mix series, such a pleasure to share the music :D"

Last Night 14/06/2014

DJ Bob brought us back a few years last saturday, into the not-too-distant past via a big bag of dubstep and grime records from the vaults of Standard Radio. With a little temporal distance, and the musical mutations of this decade as a reference point, these tunes from the last decade are definitely ageing nicely, like a fine wine. Get your fermentation on below..

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 11 - 1991 (Part 3)

"...This is part 11 in a series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - the tracks that were big in the clubs I was going to and the London pirates I was listening to at the time.

In 91 the music was morphing from the previous Housier/US sound to a more UK vibe, with basslines and breakbeats shaping the sound. As a punter/DJ back then, I had really liked the earlier music in these mixes, but from this point I felt like i was part of a scene that was largely people like me, in areas like where i lived - I was well and truly hooked!...."

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 10 - 1991 (Part 2)

"...This is chapter 10 in my series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - this one is pt 2 from 1991. As I said in the last one, you can really hear the sound changing, more breakbeats and to my ears a more bedroom studio sound.
Included in this mix are tracks from Doc Scott, Shades of Rhythm, Shut Up And Dance and Blame, to name a few...."

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 9 - 1991 (Part One)

"...This is the 9th chapter in my 'Trust Me I Was There' series - this is the part 1 from 1991.

91 was the year I started on pirate radio with my DJ partner Swift (not Mampi Swift btw, a different one!) we were on Impact FM and our first show was the first time I'd touched a pair of technics - till then i'd been using decks without pitch, or if I was lucky, some Soundlabs. The studio mixer was an MRT 60, futuristic business at the time :D

Swift and I did 4 hours every sat night and 4 hours sunday night, plus any cover shows we could do. keen...

Music wise - 91 was a real turning point, you can really hear the UK sound starting to take off, most tracks had a breakbeat instead of the 4/4 kick that had been more common before and it sounds like the samplers were getting used in the studio more and more - for me, the music up to this point was great, but from 1991 it just becomes exceptional. The golden era of the Jungle sound has now begun :D..."

Warlock - Kool London - 2-Step Breaks 2001-2006 Retrospective

"Turning back the time machine for a visit to the early noughties (2001-2006) and the classic sound of 2-step, broken beat, breaks and a touch of breakstep. Music that was in a large part the precursor to dubstep. Music from the likes of Horsepower, Darqwan, Afronaught, Zinc, El-B and much more....."

DJ Zinc - Trust Me I Was There - Chapter 8 - 1990 Part 3

Finishing off the 1990 segment of this essential mix series, Zinc brings us forward as things got just a little more hardcore, and the Akai S series became as essential as the Roland rhythm machines, and the UK began to assert its own musical roots on the sounds of '80's Chicago and Detroit, beckoning in what was to come as things got that little bit 'ravier'....

"...this is part 8 of a series of mixes called 'Trust Me I Was There' - this one is part 3 of 3 from 1990...

..this mix includes the first release on Reinforced, a couple of tracks that DJ Hype was involved in, some classic Warp (LFO!!!!) the massive 'Mr Kirks Nightmare' and one of my all time favs - Radio Babylon..."
