Founded in 1992 by Andy C and Ant Miles, RAM Records became one of the defining forces in drum & bass, shaping the sound of the genre through a relentless focus on technical precision, heavyweight engineering, and uncompromising dancefloor energy. At a time when jungle was rapidly evolving, RAM pushed toward a colder, more futuristic sound — sharp drums, intricate bass design, and a sense of tension that felt built for dark rooms and powerful systems. From the groundbreaking RAM Trilogy productions to the unmistakable impact of Origin Unknown and Moving Fusion, the label helped define the blueprint for late-90s techstep and the next generation of dancefloor drum & bass. Every release carried a sense of scale and intent: futuristic yet functional, aggressive yet deeply refined. Rooted in London’s pirate radio and rave culture, with Andy C involved with Kool FM during the late 90’s, RAM evolved from underground institution to global powerhouse without ever losing its identity. More than just a label, it became a benchmark for progression within drum & bass. A platform where innovation and rave energy always went hand in hand. 1: Origin Unknown - Valley of the Shadows [RAM Records] 2: Moving Fusion - Turbulence [RAM Records] 3: Shimon & Andy C - Quest [RAM Records] 4: Desired State - Goes Around [RAM Records] 5: RAM Trilogy - Titan [RAM Records] Listen back to our 100% RAM Records show, featuring these tracks and more, via the Rinse FM app & website.

Rooted in UK soundsystem culture, Singularity nights are a melting pot of old skool classics and fresh dubs from rising producers. You’ll hear anything from jungle, drum & bass and hardcore to 4x4, bassline, acid and more.

Dillinja, AKA Karl Francis, is considered one of the key producers in the development of Drum and Bass. Emerging in the early 1990s, his work became associated with a heavier, more technically focused approach to bass design and sound system engineering. The 1995 release of “The Angels Fell” is often cited as an important record in the evolution of jungle production, particularly for its atmospheric detail and low-end emphasis. Through extensive use and manipulation of the Roland TR-808 kick drum, Dillinja helped popularise the “rolling” bassline style — a fluid, sustained low-frequency sound that became a defining characteristic of many late-90s Drum and Bass records. His productions were also noted for their careful separation of sub-bass and percussion frequencies, allowing tracks to retain clarity at high volumes. A focus on sound reproduction later led to the development of the Valve Sound System, a custom-built rig designed to handle the extreme low-end range present in his music. The system became closely associated with Dillinja and the wider Valve Recordings label, reflecting a broader shift in Drum and Bass culture toward larger-scale, bass-focused live experiences. Through both his productions and sound system work, Dillinja played a significant role in shaping the weight, dynamics, and physicality associated with modern bass music. 1: Dillinja - Sovereign Melody [Deep Jungle] 2: Capone - Friday [Hardleaders] 3: Dillinja - The Angels Fell [Metalheadz] 4: Dillinja - Hard Noize [Test Recordings] 5: Dillinja - Grimey [V Recordings] Listen back to our 100% Dillinja show, featuring these tunes and more, on the Rinse FM platform now.

Founded in 2001 by Marcus Intalex and @brinkstfiles , Soul:r stood apart as a label with a clear and uncompromising vision. It bridged the raw energy of the underground with the warmth and depth of soul, creating a sound that felt both refined and deeply human. Every release carried a sense of intention: minimal yet rich, understated yet powerful, eschewing trends in favor of timelessness. From the iconic Soul:ution nights to the revered Four:fit EP series, Soul:r cultivated a sonic identity that pushed beyond the boundaries of liquid drum & bass. It drew from techno’s precision, jazz’s fluidity, and a deep-rooted sense of musicality, resulting in records that were as thoughtful as they were moving. Born out of Manchester’s rich musical heritage, the label acted as a beacon for quality over quantity. More than just a label, Soul:r was a statement of taste and integrity. It was a platform where artistry always came first. Rest in peace, Marcus Intalex. 1: Marcus Intalex - Temperance [Soul:r] 2: Calibre - Fire & Water [Soul:r] 3: M.I.S.T - Outerspace [Soul:r] 4: Marcus Intalex - Jupiter [Soul:r] 5: DRS - The View feat.
