The alternative mix this month showcases the new sound of Jungle Tekno, an offshoot or Jungle and drum n bass rapidly rising in popularity – Kosine aka DJ Youngsta is the selecta with a sick mix of the hottest J-Tek cuts many of which are released or forthcoming on his own Originate recordings label.
Originate was setup in January of this year as a platform to support artists that may not be getting the exposure they deserve. Originate will be pushing hi-end underground Jungle & J-tek productions to the scene for the scene by helping it grow in the UK, Europe & Worldwide. With a long list of high profile DJ’s supporting the label including Pilgrim, Outrage, Modular, Bassline Smith, Bizzy B, Stranjah, Theory, Insight, Grooverider, X Nation, Crissy Criss and Classified Material the future looks bright for Originate.
