Featuring: My Groove Your Move # 7

---

 A composer, producer, mashup creator, and unapologetic synth addict. The 2020s  have been a playground of collaboration — most notably with Boz Boorer,  reimagining the sound of Morrissey and The Smiths for a new era. Alongside that,  I’ve been working with a handful of iconic 1970s and 1980s artists, developing  both a mashup project and a more traditional album, while taking every  opportunity to explore and experiment across genres. 

 DJing, for me, has never been the “main act” — it’s a tool, a test bench, a way to  throw stems into the wild and see how they behave when paired with other unlikely  partners. It’s where my composer’s instinct meets my instinctive feel for what  works with my vision. Most nights from midnight until 3 AM, when the family  sleeps, I’m in the sonic workshop — tinkering, layering, and smiling at the  moments when something just clicks. .

 This mix is built around three chapters — three distinct musical journeys that  have shaped me. I didn’t overcomplicate it. These are the tracks I love, tested for  their ability to coexist, and presented without unnecessary additions or  subtractions. Each chapter is a snapshot of a moment in my musical life, from rave  baptism to modern reinvention. 

 Because my influences — and the music that excites me — have come in three  great waves.  • The first chapter was my introduction to rave — the wild, euphoric early  ’90s scene.  • The second chapter was my deep dive into gabber and fast techno,  the soundtrack of my mid-’90s obsession.  • The third is where I am now — modern electronic music that carries the  DNA of those earlier eras, yet reshapes it for today.  These are not just time periods; they’re creative milestones. Each chapter reflects  a shift in my own approach to making, mixing, and understanding electronic  music. 

Some call it old-school, I call it hardcore or home. This was my personal golden  period, stretching from 1990 to the end of 1992. The energy was raw, the sound  was still forming its identity, and the community was wide open to  experimentation.  My influences in this era were the likes of Ellis Dee, Top Buzz and Easygroove,   — DJs who could mix breakbeats, piano stabs, and basslines into something both  euphoric and aggressive. It was a time when I learned that rave wasn’t just about  BPM; it was about emotional velocity.  This chapter in the mix celebrates my beginning: the tracks that made me fall in  love with the culture, the feeling of a thousand people moving as one, and the  realisation that this was more than music — it was a movement.

 As rave splintered into different paths, I took a hard turn into the heavier, faster  lane — gabber, gabba, nosebleed techno… whatever you want to call it. I just  knew it as Not Jungle.  

This era was defined for me by the South-West  (UK) scene, where DJs like  Easygroove, Lisa, Trevor Rockcliffe, The Producer, and DJ Scorpio pushed  tempos into the stratosphere where producers created relentless, pounding tracks  that were as much endurance test as dancefloor fuel.  

It was here that I learned something important: music can be extreme and still be  musical. Ther

The final chapter is personal — it’s about the present, and about the music that  has rekindled my excitement. Modern electronic tracks that clearly draw from  hardcore, gabber, jungle, and techno, yet twist those influences into fresh shapes.  

In Europe, in the UK, and beyond, there’s a wave of producers making music that  feels like a love letter to the past without being trapped by it. You hear techno  laced with breakbeats, dubstep with hardcore DNA, jungle rhythms slipping into  house structures — genres stitching back together after decades apart.  

This chapter proves that the old boundaries are fading — and for me, that’s  exciting. It’s not about nostalgia; it’s about the loop closing, the circle completing,  and new possibilities opening.
