In July a DJ called Whole Sick got in touch in with me and KMD about doing a mix for Trash and we were like ‘yes please’. Summer kicked in, we got rained on at festivals, while Whole Sick - who’s real name is Justin Reid-Simm - relaxed in Italy, then destroyed mind, body and soul in Ibiza. Oh yeah.

Not heard of Whole Sick? This oh-so-young DJ is the latest resident at the Kool Kids Klub in Southend and also holds a residency at the Bigger Than Barry night in Nottingham.

He’s managed to squeeze the billing with an impressive list of artists including: Boy 8-Bit, Heavyfeet, Andy George, Urchins, Kissy Sell Out, Sinden, Drop the Lime, DIM, Mumdance, L-Vis 1990, Foamo, Fake Blood, Annie Mac, Kazey, Kidda, Herve, Oneman, Detboi, Mememe, Tomb Crew, AC Slater and Hostage.

Makes you drool, doesn’t it? And when not djing, Whole Sick is a nice young man who goes to uni, which is sweet.

You can catch him dj in Southend, Nottingham or London.

To commemorate Guy Fawkes Night (the English version of Fourth of July), Whole Sick has knocked out this sweet little mix just to warm us up. Think burning effigies, fireworks, sparklers and skyscraper pyres.

I did notice that Whole Sick’s mix has three of the same tracks as the Foamo mix Lovestar just posted (Mystery Jets, Evil Nine, A.C Slater), which is a coincidence - I know it may seem like sloppy seconds, but it’s a boon for the lovers out there.

I went diggin’ through the archives for this Ruffneck mix, back to 1995 in Chicago, the event, Brockout! Brought to you by “Jungle Ting”, a collective of like minded music heads uniting the Jungle/Hardcore/Drum n Bass scenes in London, Chicago, & Toronto.

On the bill that night - DJ Dextrous, MC Rude Boy Keith, Ruffneck, Marcus, JJ Jellybean, Snuggles, Blackeye, Phil Free Art, MC Gene, and from the “other side of the Jungle”, Hyperactive & DJ Funk.

Received this sexy little mix from London art rocker sweeties George and Fenner from Lesser Panda, who we featured - gosh, was it only back in Janurary? - to celebrate their new release, single “Carousel/Ghostdance” which debuts on 13th October 2008 !

If you get gooey and nostalgic over the great tunes from the 80s like the Cure, Talking Heads, Smiths and Psychadelic Furs, you’ll LOVE Lesser Panda - and you can catch a sneak of “Carousel” on this mix, which has also been featured on fellow music blog Fried my little brain - nice one.

Enjoy!

ps - is vanilla a euphemism for something or am i just being thick? yes, probably.

Here’s DTL’s last live Fabric mix from March and some older interesting footage of him dancing somewhere in the green fields of what looks to be England? Love the glove and the animals. Catch DTL back at Fabric Friday 4th July along with Switch, Sinden, Scratch Perverts, Toddla T and special guests! This just in Room 1 – Pendulum and more in Room 2!
