My friend Krys deleted all his mp3s..and asked me to send him all the archives of my old internet radio show…it was an infrequent morning show on http://jungletrain.net/. So I’ve compiled them all here. It features a wide spectrum of weird and fun dnb. You’ll see a lot of question marks in the tracklistings because I invite people to participate and fill them in.

SPACELASERLION FTW!!1
Just a quick word about a really hot new release on Planet MU featuring one of my personal heroes-Brian Johnson. Better known as BIZZY B! Planet MU is no stranger to good jungle having released “Soundmurderer”, an amazing anthology by another hero of mine-Remarc. This new retrospective contains some of the most seminal tunes from Bizzy B’s back catalog. I consider myself very lucky to have been 13 years old and RAVING MY FACE OFF to these tunes as they were coming out. AND HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO JOIN IN THAT FUN! The ideas and approaches from Brain Studio’s output at that time were unparalleled and still are even today. This music is authentic darkside junglism insanity! Drawing influences from dub, techno, hiphop, rnb…but taking to a place so far…so futuristic and abstract that we still haven’t caught up, all while maintaining funky-militant-dancefloor-brutality. At a time when people were struggling to loop breakbeats just to make some cheesy piano hits with pitched up vocals, Bizzy and crew were chopping and screwing and timestretching amens and really pushing what could be done with the most simple equipment (Amiga’s and early AKAI s-series samplers) creating the language of state of the art beat-programming that has influenced many serious artists in all of music since (if they know it or not). Bizzy B took a lot of people under his wing (people like Peshay and Equinox) and was eager to show them how to produce and by doing so learned a lot himself while having a blast and it really shows in this music. These songs all originally came out on 4track eps with really really ghetto pressing (it was 1993 afterall) so I’m excited to see a whole new generation of people getting exposed to this stuff in hi-fi!

Hi,
A lot people regularly ask me where to get started with making tracks so I’ve decided that I’m gonna talk more about production here. Discussing what people use and how that use has shaped the sound of everything and how you can incorporate this stuff into your setup to further your sound (Did I mention that Alton Brown is my hero?). I’m starting this series of posts with a piece of kit from Roland (and a free software emulator of it by Togu Audio Line) that I believe to be more important than the 303 or 909 that everyone seems to mention.
The rave champion synth!
In the early 80′s, Roland released a series of cheap polyphonic synths to try and dominate the market. These cost effective and very easy to use keyboards found their way to a lot of places and in the hearts of a lot of very important musicians and producers. I’m referring to the ubiquitous Juno series that is comprised of these models:
Juno 6 (the first)
Juno 60 (same as the 6 but with patch memory)
Juno HS60 (with built in speakers for the “home” market-wtf?!)
Juno 106 (midi capable, cheaper more streamlined parts, less-heavy, “rougher” sound)
Juno 106s (same as above with speakers)
MKS7 (rack-mounted version with a very limited programming interface but responds comparably to the same sysex commands as the 106
Alpha Juno (similar architecture to the 106 series with more complicated waveforms but no knobs. Programming was tedious with the introduction of an “Alpha Dial”)
HS10 (same but with speakers)
Alpha Juno 2 (same as the juno but with after-touch and a few more options)
HS80 (same with speakers)
MKS-50 (rack-mounted version.)
PG-300 (External programmer to the Alpha series for those people that missed the knobs. Can be easily be replaced by something more universal like the Behringer BCR2000)
What makes the Roland Juno series unique was it’s use of a propriety DCO voicechip (well 6 of them) that is able to produce the 3 oscillator options. Waveforms include PULSE(with variable PULSEWIDTH MODULATION, SAW (or ramp) and a SUB (Roland seems to be quite fond of incorporating sub-oscs). There is also an independant noise osc aswell. Roland came up with an ingenious way to fit the 3 OSCS on one chip and keep the tuning remarkably stable. The oscillators are still analog…they are just controlled (clocked) digitally. One thing that suffers is that the phase always starts from the same point on note-on. So in that sense it’s not very authentic when you want things to drift… However it does help in making the synth punchy which is beneficial for certain sounds (bells, pianos, etc)
It features a very STRANGE 24dB/oct Lowpass Filter (also proprietary). The “6x” models had the same filter chips found the Jupiter 4 that goes to an independent analog VCA (which is the reason it has a smoother more gummy sound then it’s followers). It also featured SELF-OSCILLATION. Later models coupled the VCF and VCA in one chip (that had a more reserved resonance curve due to the trend of synth manufacturers pussying out a bit). The behavior of the filter is strange..and unlike a lot of the common filter types at the time (see CEM, SSM, etc). That and it’s built-in chorus really helps gives the Juno it’s SOUND.
That sound has been featured on a lot of famous songs…if you do a google search on the subject you’ll see massive lists of Juno users. But also it’s sound when used correctly is RAVE. Juno’s changed hands often on the used market (especially when more “serious” people were so into romplers and fancy samplers at the time) allowed these things to go into the right hands. These machines provided sounds and textures for a lot of amazing records which were later sampled by jungle producers. Most notably, the “Mentasm” sound by Joey Beltram which started as a preset on the MKS50 (patch B86 “What the?”). It has since been totally ripped apart by people like Bizzy B, Doc Scott, even Luke Vibert.
Some DNB producers even had these synths in their studios. 4 Hero used them extensively for all sorts of weird sounds and nice pads. They even made a commercial sample cd and secret sample dat using many of their patches that have been rinsed out by a lot of Metalheadz artists etc. Pete Parsons swears by his 106 and it found its way on pretty much every track he did on his own and in collaboration with people like DJ Rap, DJ Trace, Crystl, Grooverider, etc etc. So all those dope atmospheric tunes one those Promised Land cds that inspired and touched so many were under the influence of the Juno.
The juno archicture is really intuitive once you play around with it and despite that ease of use you can make many different types of sounds. Pads, Strings, Basses, synth effects, leads, electric pianos, organs, guitars, percussive sounds…EVEN TIMPANIES! It is a very useful and inspiring system. Great for cutting your teeth when it comes to synthesis.
now the free stuff.
The good people at TAL have spent a lot of effort working on a VSTi version the the Juno 60. They’ve done a wonderful job with their free program U-No-62. The filters and oscillators are very accurate. The filter even self-oscillates. It’s one of the best and smoothest analog emulations I’ve heard in a VSTi and it’s FUCKIN FREE! (Although i’m sure they accept donations) There are two versions available. I find the U-No-62 to be better than the U-No-60. But the U-No-60 has a quality of it’s own that’s not bad…plus it takes up less cpu (which is good if you are running multiple instances).

THE SET OF THE YEAR 2008 – Instra:mental Live with MC Lowqui, Star Warz, Belgium June 2008
Instra:mental came back out in 2007 with Comanche under Paul Rico’s (SRD) wing and fucked with the whole scene. Then D-Bridge got a hold of them and made magic. Now Commix, Lomax, Marcus Intalex and the bunch are all running the minimal, glitchy hardstep. This set is the perfect representation of what needed to happen to drum n bass to make it vibe again. This set is everything that is going to make waves in 2009. The moment I got a hold of this set, I freaked out and sent it out to people I hoped would appreciate it. They did. You should too. Musical alchemy.
If you haven’t heard it yet. It’s not too late.

Hi,
After a looooonggg hiatus…the smoothie show is back and sporadic. This edition features Toronto stuff that I rinsed out on my last tour. Also a selection of some of my favorite IDM tunes. After the jump up explosion in mid 1995 I found myself less interested in the Jungle that was played at the raves here. The only thing that got my through that era(other than producing my own music) was all the wonderful atmospheric DnB, Riot Beat and IDM. I was avidly listening to Synaptic Paradox, Greg Clow’s Feedback Monitor and the Stumpy Godhead show on CIUT FM (University of Toronto’s Community Radio Station). Snapping up as many weird and wonderful records I could find (ergo all the question marks you see in these track-listings). A lot of people have and will continue to ask me about my approach and influence…which is surprising to me as I feel that I wear it on my sleeve…well now it couldn’t be more obvious. =O)
