Welcome to Rinse FM | Rinse FM
Rinse has dominated London’s radio airwaves for 30 years as a hub of the capital's thriving urban music community
here's @nayfunevans.bsky.social's Rinse FM program from Thursday where he mixed a set of Baltimore club and UK Garage and talked with me about the 130bpm rhythmic common ground between the two genres:

I've been a huge fan of nathan's writing for a long time. We've been chatting for years about hard house and if you're curious, there's some words from me throughout the article.
big ups @nayfunevans.bsky.social !!!!

Rewind: Various – Tekken (Jungle Remixes) · Feature ⟋ RA
In 1996, four UK jungle heavyweights remixed the Tekken soundtrack—and accelerated a longstanding alliance between video games, Japanese rave culture and the hardcore continuum.
A couple months ago, I found out that Jeremy Sylvester, Dillinja and more remixed the original Tekken soundtrack 🥷
For RA, I investigated the first spark of a decades-long love triangle between jungle, Japanese club culture and video game OSTs 🇬🇧🇯🇵🎮

I decided to write up a little list of my favorite releases from this year.
my taste this year has done a 180 from forward thinking club music, taking me back to the mid 00's. this list is mostly garage/hard house with a couple other things sprinkled in.
links to every release will be below

YouTube video by Naughty But Nice
DAZED Music Nation - It's Bass Up North (4x4 Bassline Documentary 2015)
There's also a really great Dazed one, but I'm thinking something more comprehensive, like how we know the chronology of dubstep. Though that's largely bc of dubstep forum and Blackdown's blogs and stuff
