I haven&#8217;t done that many mixes, and a bunch of what I&#8217;ve done I haven&#8217;t even stuck online yet, but, well, never too late to change that! <\/p>\n<p>So, since I have three mixes sitting unreleased, let&#8217;s get at least the first one out the door!<\/p>\n<p>And what a mix it is &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This mix is my tribute to one of the best jungle \/ drum n&#8217; bass labels of the last decade: Hertfordshire&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/69042-Repertoire?srsltid=AfmBOoqlsgIWpduw39u30YgBfy9g0uooSG7p9VaoxTfLopMtk2cIoNlE\">Repertoire Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Repertoire has long been one of my favorite labels; I love the variety of the tunes they&#8217;ve put out, the range of artists, and how expertly curated it is as a label. You never quite know what to expect when you check out a new Repertoire release, which is a good thing! So many labels repeat themselves over and over and over, so I have great respect for any label that has the courage to just focus on putting out good music, whatever is &#8216;hot&#8217; at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I actually don&#8217;t know a ton about Repertoire, besides the fact that it was set up by Law, who used to write the great (and now sadly defunct) blog <a href=\"https:\/\/drumtrip.co.uk\/category\/mixes\/\">Drumtrip<\/a>, which was (IMO) one of the key building blocks in the revival of jungle music, because Law shared so much knowledge about so much great music to so many people who had never heard it before. He was one of the flame carriers through the years in the wilderness.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to find out more, I suggest reading <a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/features\/sound-repertoire\">this DJ Mag spotlight<\/a> from a few years back:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to talk about the modern jungle scene without bringing up Repertoire. Founded back in 2009 by Ricky Law (also the brains behind the Drumtrip blog), the label has become a buy-on-sight outlet for frequenters of parties like Rupture, especially those with a penchant for vinyl.<\/p>\n<p>It all started with one of Law\u2019s tracks \u2014 \u2018Sophine\u2019, a classic Amen beast \u2014 which Phil Wells\u2019 sadly now-defunct distribution company Nu Urban Music picked up for release. Law fancied having a bit more control, and Repertoire was born. The first release came on vinyl, followed by a handful of digital drops throughout 2009\/10, but with Law focusing on his blog and Nu Urban\u2019s closure a couple of years later, it looked like the label was over before it really got started. Then in 2012, Ben Repertoire came on board to help reinvigorate the imprint \u2014 eight years later and it\u2019s stronger than ever, a key part of the scene and the pair seem inseparable &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Quality is certainly something the boys have on lock; over the years they\u2019ve released tearout tracks like Tim Reaper\u2019s \u2018Lanterns\u2019, eerie rollers such as Shiken Hanzo\u2019s \u2018Kali Ma\u2019, and Thing\u2019s wonky, dubbed-out \u2018Lack Of Diversity\u2019 \u2014 and that\u2019s just picking out a few we\u2019ve previously highlighted here in DJ Mag.<\/p>\n<p>What these tracks \u2014 and the rest of the catalogue for that matter \u2014 also display is how the label balances a wide variety of drum &amp; bass styles, while keeping a tough, slightly industrial vibe that make them all very much Repertoire tracks. \u201cIf it\u2019s the kind of thing I\u2019d play in one of my sets, and I really love it, I\u2019m interested,\u201d Ricky explains of his selection process. \u201cIt just has to have some proper beats and bass. Perhaps an organic kind of feel. The label\u2019s back-catalogue is pretty varied but you should be able to blindly pick any 20 tunes, put them in a mix, and it still sound coherent.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the label\u2019s cohesion is a consistent visual look across releases, usually consistently of a photograph layered with block colours or the odd texture. \u201cConsistency is super- important to us,\u201d says Ricky. \u201cWhen I look back at the labels I loved before the Internet took some of the mystery out of things, like Moving Shadow and \u2018Headz, it was their logos and designs that would catch my eye first on the rack in the record shop. Before even hearing it, I knew I had to have it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This of course ties in with Repertoire\u2019s regular vinyl output, which Ben feels \u201cadds a certain weight to the music.\u201d He links the label\u2019s physical releases to its place as one of the key forces behind the modern jungle movement, where many labels old and new are dedicating themselves to the classic format. \u201cTo see the scene grow so rapidly in such a short space of time is pretty incredible,\u201d says Ben.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For this mix I&#8217;ve gone really deep into their back catalogue, pulling out 30 tracks from a whole host of artists, across a whole host of sounds, including a bunch of tracks from their more dancefloor jungle sub-label, R-Whites. This mix has everything from spaced-out halfstep to chunky rollers to metallic techstep to new skool ragga jungle and full force jungle tearouts &#8230; something for all the family!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really happy with this mix, and I&#8217;m sorry you&#8217;ve had to wait so long to hear it.
