A Nostalgic Journey of UK Garage with Chino
This session is not just a mix; it's a passion project that's been brewing in my heart and mind for ages. In 2024, I decided it was time to dust off a few of my cherished vinyl collection and delve deep into the vault.
My mission? To fuse the essence of both new and classic tracks, infusing fresh energy into the ever-evolving UK Garage scene.
My love affair with music began in Manchester in 2002, on a humble pair of belt drive turntables. There, amidst the vibrant beats and soulful rhythms, House and Garage music creatively captured my heart, setting me on an unforgettable path in the world and life of DJing. These sounds weren't just music to my ears; they were the heartbeat of my journey.
Following on from Professor X's latest Vinyl Vandals guest mix and the unforgettable performances of DJ EZ and Todd Edwards at Mas Tiempo (DrumSheds London), I knew it was time for me to step up. With the Vinyl Vandals community as my stage, I'm ready to pay homage to the genre that started it all for me.
Expect an eclectic mix that reflects the genre's rich history while pushing its boundaries. From underground gems to mainstream hits, each track is carefully selected to showcase UK Garage's vibrant energy and diverse soundscape.
