Wassup muthatruckers? Sorry for the delay this week. You may be noticing a pattern emerging of every other week being a bit late. Sorry about that, but you’ll have to deal with it. I’m doing this for free remember!

This week, you’ve got some gurly vibes with some early 2-step. The track list was picked by a friend a few years back and I mixed it together for them. It’s an absolute cheesefest, but hopefully a pleasurable listen nevertheless.

Check it out, and we’ll catch up next week.

Take it easy Treacle Slit,

Howdy kids,

Another quick upload this week. Sorry for the delay.

If you’ve been following me or my website Slick n Fresh over the past few years then there’s a chance you’ve heard this mix before. If not, you’re in for a doozy.

Gashtastic Volume 2 was an old school mix I put together a few years back. Generally it gets a good reaction from people. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Cheers for your ears

Had a crazy week this week. At the age of 28 I managed to pass my driving test (2 minors, get in), and also I purchased a Rane SL3 with Serato ScratchLive.

All of this equates to a strange show. Lots of new music but it was a bit of a weird one where I was getting used to using Serato for the first time.

Overall, I was loving it. And once I’m used to it I’ll be pushing the levels even higher.

Serato is also the reason that this podcast is now on Mixcloud, due to the awesomeness of the playlist functionality. It’s a trial at the moment, so we’ll see how that goes in the coming weeks.

So check it out, listen back, and if you’re lovin’ it like McD’s then drop me a rating and a comment on iTunes.

Maximum.

Yes yes my bumpy UKG crew.

Querk ones from me. Here’s a flashback to 2009 when I’m on Pressure Radio. This one is a mixup with no talking, just riddims.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t listened back to this before posting it up, so hopefully it’s not all pots and pans. I know that I posted this on the t’interweb before so I must have thought it was okay then!

Safe ones, and more live bizzo next week.

First of all, massive, MASSIVE shout out to everyone that’s been downloading the podcast.

This month I got an email from my service provider telling me I’ve managed to do 60GBs worth more of bandwidth than their own cluster of business sites combined. Guess what this is due to? That’s right, you guys.

Without me looking into it properly I didn’t realise that this podcast at the moment is a roaring success. There’s been over 13,000 downloads started via the podcast feed alone, with more downloads directly via the site.

I’m estimating right now there’s between 2000 and 2500 downloads of podcast episodes each month. That’s HUGE.

There was even a point last week were the podcast had an episode sitting in the iTunes chart. I don’t keep an eye on this closely enough because I didn’t expect to be on there, so this may not even be the first time. All I can say is thanks for getting me there.

If you want to help further, don’t forget you can leave iTunes feedback. The more comments and 5-star ratings I get will help increase the popularity of the podcast and therefore will push UKG forward that little bit more. I’ll really appreciate it if you could help. And I also love to hear feedback – good or bad.

Now, in addition to UKG reaching the masses in a way I never expected, we also have another initiative that kicked off just after my last live show. Those into UKG and follow it on the interwebs may have heard of the fabled UKG Dropbox started by Sub.FM’s very own DJ Para.

The dropbox has become a place for DJs and Producers to share their productions with each other to make sure all the right people are pushing the freshest music possible. There’s even some monster names that have jumped on board. And It’s a rip roaring success.

This week’s show is my first show since the dropbox went live. Every tune in the show is the first time I’ve played it out so you are in for a barrage of beautiful new music. Hectic.

Apologies for the crusty sound on some of the tracks. My CDJs are definitely on their last legs. I’m in the market for a MIDI controller with Traktor, so if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them in the comments.

Thanks once again to everyone that’s made this podcast larger than Goatse‘s arsehole. And here’s to more UK garage every week!

You may or may not know I’ve actually been doing “dis ting” for many years now.

Back in the day, when I was (much) younger and more stupid, I managed to get myself on the legendary 89.4FM – London Underground. LUG kicked off many a UKG legend’s careers, such as MJ Cole, Greg Stainer and Mr Buzzhard to name the 3 that come to mind immediately.

At the time, I was going by DJ G-Man, which the station didn’t want as there were BARE G-Men all over the shop.

My brother and I were taking a Friday night slot and we wanted a gimmick. After much argument, we settled on cartoon mice as the personification, and thus DJ Pinky and Mr Brainz were born.

Most of our shows consisted of blazing way too much, arguing constantly, and clanging more than a bull in a kitchenwares shop.

Yeah we were shit. Real shit. Which I mainly blamed on the fact that we both learnt on a pair of fucked belt drive decks for years and the first time we had extended access to Technics 1210s was when we started on LUG.

I was 16 or 17 when I started on that station. We got boyed off quite a bit but we enjoyed it.

Anyway onto this week’s episode.

It’s 2002 (I think), I’m about 19 or 20, and my brother Pinky has just moved to Spain and it’s still legal to play 702 – You Don’t Know without being shot in 6 countries. This is probably the only audio I have of me live on 89.4fm on my own. It’s not the best mix, but it’s a piece of personal history to me.

There’s also a few suspect bang up Fruityloop jobs and some bait Cool-Edit-Bootlegging, but I’ll leave you to find them and chuckle.

Part 2 is still floating around somewhere which I may post in the future, but I think by that point it was about 1 in the morning when I finished the show, I was dead on my feet and at the bottom of my bag.

Anyway, these are my roots, so check ’em out.

Track List

U.S.L. – Step Up (Advanced Technology Dub)
Jameson – True
Harry – Sex Goes Round (Jameson Remix)
Unkle Cracker – Follow Me (Sunship Remix)

Buckle up, strap a nappy on, and press play on this week’s show.

We got loads more new music for you this week with the levels hitting peak al throughout the show.

I spend most of the time dancing around the studio so apologies if some of the mixes are late or a little loose.

Big up the chat room crew over at Sub.FM who were bang on it.

Apologies for the no-show on the podcast last week. I had to play my sick note as I wasn’t very well at all. Hopefully it won’t happen again.

Anyway, make sure you got some toilet roll handy for this one, and happy pant-shitting.

Big up
