It's the Silver Jubilee for the "world's greatest breaks label", Finger Lickin' Records and I had the immense privilege to chat to Jem Panufnik, one half of Soul Of Man and the founder of Finger Lickin' Records. We talk how he met Justin (the other half of Soul Of Man), how they signed some of the key figures in the breaks scene and also Jem's label Bona Fido. This Saturday they are hosting a party in London featuring all the key players from Finger Lickin, including the Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, ...

After seeing Andy C play The O2, I think I am in love with drum & bass again. I have moments where I think it’s all fart noises, but there has been some quality dnb in my inbox. Loving it!! Also want to mention the new Left/Right album. Sending a lot of love out to Chris, who unfortunately had his laptop and a load of equipment stolen from his car in San Fransisco. While I know a play on here won’t make up for the loss, I would like to say, I love his music, go support him by buying his albu...

On Easter Monday I started my monthly shows on Brixton Radio. It was a lot of fun and while the microphone doesn't sound as polished as I would like it, it still was a great show. Track list to come. The next live show will be on May 31st at 6pm but until then, enjoy this one.

While listening to some promos I discovered an EP by Solomon France. Man, this EP is something, just wasn't expecting the drop on the track 'Fall'. After obsessively playing this track for over a week, I have made it my 'track you need to know'. Also this month we lost the legendary MC Fats. We pay tribute by pulling out some of his tracks from the archive. Show us some love on Patreon.

So Skrillex has not 1 but 2 albums out. He dropped a surprise album yesterday, although kind of knew it was coming... Firstly some of the singles he has released leading up to 'Quest For Fire' weren't on the album, and second he hinted he was releasing 2 albums on Instagram last year. Anyway, the bigger question is, when he played Madison Square Garden with Four Tet and Fred Again.., who had M&S Mini Gingerbread Biscuits on their rider? Seriously I want to know!! Oh and here is a tracklist f...

Second week of Mix Month and this is an archive mix from September last year. Dom from the Stanton Warriors invited me to play at the summer last terrace party at Morden Wharf. This gig meant a lot to me as not only was I on a line up of awesome DJs playing the music I love, but my wife and daughter came down too. This would have been the first time Evie has seen me play and my wife almost never comes to my gigs. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this mix (again). Until next time... Adam Freeland - Super...

2022 has been another huge year for bass music, breaks is making a resurgence (although are we allowed to call it breaks), drum & bass keeps pushing the boundaries of what is dnb and what is hardcore (looking at you Dimension), and those hoover and foghorn noises are transitioning into other genres. Yup 2022 has been a vintage. Bring on 2023! 1991 - Life Piri & Tommy - On & On (Sammy Virji Remix) Disco Lines - Baby Girl (George IV Remix) Henry Fong x ALRT - Back To Me Gardna - R.A.V....

Only about 6 weeks late... Sorry for the delay on getting this one out, between starting a new day job, getting the child plague and not being able to get to my studio (aka car) to record the vocal, this has been delayed and delayed... So you get a live mix without me chatting over it... Recorded live from Fire & Lightbox in London at Big Fish Little Fish's Halloween Spooktakular, this is me in the mix all breakbeat, enjoy!

It's been a mad week of late sessions at the day job and writing endless documents, as I leaving where I have been since the start of the pandemic to work for a company much closer to home!!! Which meant... I recorded this podcast in my car! at 10:30 at night, as to not wake the wife and baby. Anyway, this podcast we have Arkley in the guest mix, a huge nostalgia rave trip with a modern day twist. Big ups Arkley for this one. For more on him, check out @ArkleyMusic on Instagram.

Between the last episode and this one, life has been a weird one… Off the back of the highs of the Morden Wharf Terrace set, by the end of the following week I had a mental crash, nothing quite like I had experienced before. I had / have Post Natal Depression and thought it had passed, but the weirdest things trigger it, and in this instance it was a song. The latest track by Cookie Monsta, Flux Pavilion and Koven. It’s an incredible track, stunning production, haunting lyrics and even has an ep...

I had the privilege of warming up for the Stanton Warriors a couple of weeks ago. It was the last party of the summer at Morden Wharf Terrace, on a Sunday which meant just good daytime vibes. Recorded live from the terrace this is my warm up set, which I would say has good waves vibes, nothing too pumping but just head nodding, foot tapping vibes. Shouts to Dom for asking me to do the warm up, also to Mini Da Minx and Mafia Kiss for being awesome too!! Adam Freeland - Supernatural Thing Sub Focu...

Originally this was going to be an hour of drum & bass in the mix, but then my daughter refused to go to bed, so you have a presented show of new music and what a selection we have.

Finally!!! After my daughter took over my studio (did she really need her own bedroom), I set up a little corner of the living room to have my Pioneer controller hooked up and ready to play. It was great to have a little mess around and I recorded a bit of a breaks mix. These are tracks which I have downloaded recently and there does appear to have a lot of OnDaMike in there. Also the first track is a little exclusive which someone made for me... Anyway, enjoy. Show us some love on Patreon. Subs...

I know it's been a moment, but here is a new podcast! And I thought I would take it back to a format of how I used to do my shows back when I was broadcasting live on Fire Radio, with a slight difference (no live mixing). So first half, all 130 four four electro and breaks, and then second half we take it up to 175 for 30 mins of drum & bass.

A little out of my comfort zone I was asked to play a chill out set at Bay Bar in Ibiza. The music policy was house music, 'house music Mike, no chilled dubstep or liquid drum & bass, house music Mike!!'. He didn't say I couldn't play breaks so... This is my "Chill & Breaks" mix or "Bass & Chill" mix, not sure which one is better. Originally I was going to play this set at Bar Bay on the seafront of San Antonio however due to various reasons the venue wasn't ready to open. Which was ...

During the "platty joobs" weekend the family, my brother and best mate went to the King Of The Beats all day-er at the Fox & Firkin. It was essentially a large pub garden with a bit of a rave corner. We took our 9 month old, as you know, she needs to get into breakbeat early and it was a lot of fun. This mix is very much inspired by the breakbeat classics played that day. Big ups Krafty Kuts, Freestylers and Plump DJs (King Of The Beats) for a wicked set, Renie Pilgrem, Deekline, Atomic Hool...

OK, it's been a moment, sorry about that. Long story short, my mental health went sideways which meant recording was really tricky. I made the actual show about a month ago, but doing the vocals, well that's a story for another time. This episode we have 2 remixes of classics, one is 15 years old and the other is 10 (points for guessing which is which).

We go into the Bass & Breaks archive and pull out something from 2012, this mix is awesome and was so proud to get this exclusive guest mix. Black Sun Empire meant a lot to me when I was buying vinyl, I loved drum & bass but I couldn't find a sound I was passionate about until I heard these guys. They had a label called BSE Recordings (the precursor to Blackout Music NL) and I'm sure I have most of that back catalog on wax. This guest mix was around when they were releasing their 'From T...
