ABRI MIX15 on Soundcloud, LINK IN BIO! 🔼🔼🔼
For my return to the
@abricatalog mix series, 6 years after releasing ABRI12 (time flies!), I chose to invite
@mazeofdeath_ to do a split set. He sent me a vinyl-only first half hour, which I completed in the second half (digitally, boooo). My guest has a musical background somewhat similar to mine, hence my choice. Passionate about music in a multitude of genres, he begins by collecting punk and psychedelic rock records, then electronic music during his formative rave years. It's around 2017 (about the same time as me) that he stumbles upon the archives of Blog to the Old Skool on Soundcloud, the jungletrain show hosted by Dev/Null and Tim Reaper. He's immediately captivated by the fusion of genres that form the heart of jungle, its blend of solid foundations and uncompromising energy. Gradually, he finds himself attending the show live, participating in the chat, and that's how we met virtually.
@mazeofdeath_ is from Kiyv, where in 2024 he creates a series of events dedicated to jungle and drum and bass with his friends and fellow vinyl DJs:
@wildsync_ For a while, he got to enjoy these many opportunities to party, celebrate rave culture and distract himself from the war waged against Ukraine, the bombings, the power cuts. But eventually, the DJs joined the army to defend their country, including my guest, shortly after he recorded this mix in September. Still,
@wildsync_ continues its mission to provide the best jungle vibes, on the air and at its events, with
@strictlyjunglist at the helm.
I hope you enjoy this selection of
@mazeofdeath_ 's favorite records in terms of atmospheric jungle, as well as my own, rougher part of the set.
