Hideous Radio 54 : Pushing Outwards

This is the best one I have made for a while I think. I abandoned the jungle and went back to playing a more mixed and trippy set, so it starts off as mellow psychedelic music, then goes into trippy glitchy breakcore, then slows down into digital dubreggae before going into noise and strange music which i don’t know what to call and then finishes up as experimental jungle

so yeah, it’s all pretty trippy and i think all of the artists featured are kind of pushing in the same direction from different places and so it ends up as a kaleidoscope I hope

I think I’ll do more of these trippy ones, you can tell by the names of the songs alone it’s worth a listen

Tykal - Classicore

Two really brilliant mixes of classical and breakcore by Tykal

I’d really recommend this for people who like hard jungle but think breakcore is too stupid. It’s got the insane beats, but it never goes into gabba or unstructured noise territory, it is all musical and structured and danceable and so on

he says

This mix has been several years in the making. To be honest, I was a little hesitant in making it for several reasons, one being that these kind of tunes are really fucking difficult to blend and I wasn’t sure I could do the ideal I had justice. The result is near what I intended if not quite there, and something I’m glad I did even if a bit rough around the edges. What I envisioned was a mix of breakcore that heavily samples or incorporates classical (or orchestral or ambient) influence…something that could appeal to people who don’t generally like breakcore and something that could widen the perspective even hardcore break enthusiasts have on the music. There will be a second part to the mix that strays into wilder territory, but for this installment imagine attending a symphony concert with a drummer in-between each instrumentalist jacked up on three days worth of speed. A guaranteed headfuck & hopefully something that takes you to new heights in your listening experience.

This is the second in a series of two breakcore mixes centered around tunes that either sample from or are influenced by classical, orchestral or, to use an ambiguous term, atmospheric music. I believe it’s been close to a year since I made the first in the series, and have never moved the second out of my line of sight, but I had many other unexpected mixing projects pop up in the interim, and just haven’t gotten to it until now.

Normally I would say mixing break-oriented music is a very precise art, and would even go so far as to say that in most cases, the quality of one’s mixing increases or decreases in direct proportion to precision of one’s beat-matching. This being said, my experience making this and previous breakcore mixes leads me to call it a much more imprecise art, at least in the sense that the structure often deviates from the typical 4/4 framework of most jungle, and the tunes are often at such a high state of aural climax that there’s very little incidence of breakdowns or easily mixable outros - thus forcing the mixmaster to come up with creative solutions to mixing tunes without actually matching their tempos. In cases where I could match them up, I did, but at least a third of the time that simply wasn’t feasible.

Even so, I think this came out pretty damn well, and after tinkering with it for the last month and a half, it seems ready to leave the nest. May its wings catch the wind and its skull not end up splattered on the pavement. Expect 180-200+ bpm and near-epileptic doses of amens, but just enough soothing melody to keep you from checking yourself into the local asylum.

The series is dedicated to the Artbreaker from ragga-jungle.com and Traffic Cone from backtotheoldskool.co.uk - two of the finest and most educated listeners a musician could ask for.

Long live the breakcore. Death to dumbstep. When in doubt, turn it off and pretend you never heard it.
