Three in a row for our video director extraordinaire JJ Lacey! The 2019 Highway 62 single "Problematic" gets the 2025 treatment with this brand new remaster and video. Hopefully you'll agree that JJ captures the playful yet assertive nature of the song perfectly - we've all been problematic at some point, often just by not blindly following the groupthink. The song expresses the feelings of being out of step, just for being you. The message is universal and in solidarity with anyone neurodivergent who just can't seem to fit in with the expectations of those that would judge you. Sod 'em!
The "B side" (virtually speaking) of "Problematic" is the decidedly more sombre, eerie electro-ballad "The Justice Of Love". The music and vocals are minimal and spartan, creating a swirling, spooky late-night ambience that gradually shifts upwards in tone. Lyrically, the song explores themes of justice, actions and consequences, and what it takes to learn how to use our powers to spread joy and peace.
Straight from the South Coast, it's Neil Young with another splendid selection of dancefloor dynamite.
Mix Of The Month: this month's mix dates a gobsmacking 20 years ago, one of only four pure hardcore Ad Rebirth sets. The emphasis is on the trancecore/freeform side of things, with some bouncy techno and happy hardcore thrown in for good measure. Very fast, very twiddly, if that's yer bag1

Mix Of The Month: back to the 80s for the second installment of "Nostalgia", put together by the mysterious Dr Who & Ace (aka Rebirth & Meganekko). Whereas the first episode saw the music of the 80s revisited by the Doctor and his young assistant, this time it's the Rubik Cube that acts as the totem for all things 80s (and even very late 70s in a couple of places). Musically speaking, that means a whole bunch of nostalgic classics from the likes of Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Alphaville, Yazoo, Blondie, New Order and loads more...

Another chance to check the "Earthbeat Vocal Mix" video...
Always good to hear a new set from Bluebird. This time it's a very chilled set of progressive, eclectic electronica.
Mix Of The Month: an early DnB set dating from, you guessed it, 2008. In fact most of the tunes go back further, with a pretty tightly packed selection of late 90s/early-mid 00s DnB. There's a fair few exclusive unreleased tracks from friends, in amongst the certified bangers from Pendulum, Dom & Roland, Shy FX, Total Science and many more.
JJ Lacey returns with a marathon two-hour chillout set, comprising 100% original material!
