DJ Die - Square 1 To 10: Jungle Elements Mix by fabric

A fabric Blog feature on the Bristolian drum & bass behemoth that is DJ Die has been a long time coming. A true individual who stands tall in the leagues of electronic music with twenty years in the game, this Friday's show (21st August) won't be the first time the legendary Full Cycle associated producer has graced our Farringdon haunt, not by a long shot. But for some reason it's taken us this long to get him to finally contribute a mix to our ongoing series.

"It's a jungle one," Die explained when his mix landed in our inbox yesterday morning; "going back to some of the first music I've ever heard that I'd say was jungle or jungle techno". Clearly, the task of actually deciding how you want to sonically outline your sound by way of 60-minute mix can be a little tricky when your career spans a hefty two decades (and then some). But especially so when the kind of musical journey you've taken has itself experienced a number of different cycles and shifts. The simple fact of the matter is, right now, DJ Die is in a different place than before…

"I guess I would like to state that this a personal history mix and does not fully represent where I'm at now as a DJ and artist,” the genre spanning Gutterfunk label boss offers by way of an explanation. “It is however a huge part of the journey of how I got here.”
