This week we’re highlighting what can be credibly described as the greatest officially released DJ mix in the whole of human history.

Colduct - Journeys by DJ - aka 70 minutes of madness
Come for the opening salvo of bludclaat jungle techno as Philorene and Photek (aka The Trooper) set the stage for Junior Reid’s explosive ‘One Blood’ riddim.
Stay for the ethereal beauty of Roberta Flack’s “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, via early Richie Hawtin, Red Snapper and the “Theme from Doctor Who”.
Film samples and overdubs for days.
Bears repeated listening, ideally over several decades.
It actually might not get any better than this.
Love ya.
