In 1992, Dave Stone and Norton Blue, owners of the Trinity Studios in London, set up the UK hardcore label DJ Only Records, renamed a year later to the Sound Of The Underground Records* (SOUR); one of the most influential collectives of the mid-90s jungle/drum and bass scene.

Project A-KO – Afterglow Pt. 1 & 2
The words “bargain jungle” and “4 Hero” are a match made in heaven, as today’s track will demonstrate. Released on Reinforced in 1994, Project A-KO was a short-lived alias by the legendary Marc Mac and Dego. The alias itself is taken from an 80s Japanese parody anime film of the same name. You can see

For show number eight, I went with a dark 96/97 selection. As you would expect there is plenty of Metalheadz involved, and loads of familiar names from when D&B got really dark. Unfortunately my laptop decided to go all ‘blue screen of death’ just before the drop of ‘Quadrant 6’, but thankfully (and amazingly) the
