Cimm (A Positive Start To 2021)
Cimm kicks off the new year for us with some positives vibes. As lots of us around the world are still in lockdown this is very much needed. Big up Cimm for keeping the vibes high, tune in for great music and great tips on keeping positive through these strange times.
Juan Tapes 027 - DPRTNDRP
In Juan’s own words “Italy's Most Wanted, @doperationdrop, join us with 40 mins of unadulterated bassweight.” Yeaaah… Lost count how many times we’ve listened to this one. Do yourself a favour and pop this on the biggest speakers you have.
Møndaigai - (FKOFd049 promo) mix
Killa selection from this Tokyo Don. One for C-BO to reminisce on simpler times, when we could skank, with it being almost exactly one year since he went to Back to Chill and Møndaigai was on the line-up. We featured the Møndaigai release in our season 2 finale, definitely one of our favourites from FatKidOnFire in the past year.
Silkie - Lost tapes mix
To celebrate the release of 'Panorama', his 3rd album to release on Deep Medi. Silkie digs deep into his hard drive for this Lost Tapes Mix, 60 mins of unreleased tracks. No one does it like Silkie. Some we recognised from previous radio plays or in the dance but some had like WTF is that. “MWAAAD TINGS” in here.
Sicaria Sound - foundation.fm friday takeover
We ended 2020 thinking well… what are gonna do without our monthly dose of Sicaria bringing us the freshest 140 sauce. So naturally we were excited to see this FoundationFM takeover hosted by them, along with six sick selectors from all over the world, handpicked by Sicaria themselves. Admittedly while familiar with the works of some of our favourites, Melissa, Woven Thorns and Medis. J’Laurel, Shama Anwar and Odin were new names to our ears.
I myself (C-BO) got to catch this one live and it did not disappoint, top selections for 45mins each. Gun fingers and sat down skanks as I smashed through some difficult work that Friday.

Sumgii (100% Production Special)
One of the realest G’s in the 140 scene, Sumgii (pronounced ‘Some Guy’, yes we learnt eventually), blessed us with a 100% of his own productions mix. We’ve featured him recently with the launch of his brand new label Pew Pew Baum Baum. While the music is no joke and a proper vibe, he told us he named it that mainly because some people take themselves too serious and a lot of labels have ‘techy’ names. So he’s done the exact opposite and made something to make people smile. Check a couple of the track names so far too 😆
Have a listen and get a real sense for the full spectrum of Sumgii’s production.
Mala - Dubstep Warz 15 years on
You caught this right?! Nothing we really need to say but if you did miss this, correct that right now. Mala brings us the sounds and voices of the influential figures involved in the broadcast that would go on to change countless lives, including ours.
Hypho - Deep Tempo Guest Mix #34
Hypho returns for part 2. The Duploc Awards breakthrough artist of 2020 becomes the 2nd artist to return to our Guest Mix Series. I don’t think we’re the only ones who’ve asked the question has he cloned himself?! How does he put out all that he does and such a quality level? Who knows but we highly respect his work rate.
