Portsmouth's Matt Wizard comes correct with one of my favourite releases of the year so far - 'Judge Reinhold' kicks off like a Paul Hardcastle LP on 45 before dropping into golden era Bristolian purpleness. There's a video here too.
Keep an ear out and a few quid handy for his '' EP, dropping on May 16th via Mr Mitch's
brilliant Gobstopper Records.
The first Standard Radio show of the merry month of May is in, and for this one we (finally) got Robin aka Messyfuture of the Pressure Belfast crew to man the turntables with a special mix just for us. If you like what you hear, be sure to tune in to Belfast Bass every tuesday on Nasty FM between the hours of 10 and 12 PM (GMT) for more of that northern pressure.
Thanks again to all who locked in, and to the Belfast Pressure family.

It's going on three years old now, but when Bob played it at the end of the Standard radio show a few weeks back it lodged in my head ever since, and I have to say I miss The Infomatics.
"...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!...."
"...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...."
"...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..."
"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....."
