Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
Euphoric, Hardcore, Ragga, Groovy, Soulful, Filthy, Aggressive, Summer, Good vibes.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
My personal favourite track in the entire mix and of all time in fact would have to be Sientello by Camo & Krooked & Mefjus. The reason for this is I have never heard a track that gives me such chills every single time I hear it, it fills me with feelings such as euphoria, nostalgia and just sends me to a place that no other track does. 
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
The special ingredient in this mix is definitely a mix between jump up drum & bass, and ragga / jungle dnb. This sort of style is what I feel expresses the music I genuinely love and wish to produce in the near future.
What have you got coming up?
The next thing I have coming up is DnB Allstars in Portugal which saying I am excited for is a massive understatement.
When was the last time you actually raved?
The last time I properly raved was when A.M.C put on his Adrenaline show in Troxy in March.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Always do things that make you genuinely happy. There is a lot of negatives in life but what makes you a strong person is taking something positive out of the negatives. If you ever feel down always do the things that make you happiest in life, such as for me it’s always been music due to it filling me with life and giving me that extra boost when it is needed.

Just 1 month until new 3-day dance music festival High Lights launches in East London
3 May 2024 - Data Transmission Staff
In less than a month, Barking Park in East London is set to light up with the debut of High Lights, a brand-new three-day electronic music festival with a serious design edge. From Friday 31st May to Sunday 2nd June, High Lights promises a stellar lineup of DJs and live acts, with none other than Carl Cox leading the charge on Saturday 1st June the only London festival gig he’ll be rocking this summer.
Already, over 60% of tickets have flown off the shelves for this electrifying weekend, boasting performances from experimental techno maestro Max Cooper, house music pioneer Franky Wah, Boiler Room sensation SYREETA, lo-fi house trailblazer Ross From Friends, party-starting virtuoso Dan Shake, and a whole lot more.
On Sunday, June 2nd, High Lights welcomes back FUSE: Open Air, featuring founder Enzo Siragusa curating FUSE‘s most extensive lineup of selectors and live acts in London since the closure of Tobacco Dock in 2022. The day will be filled with sets from Dr. Banana, making his FUSE debut, alongside Chris Stussy, Sweely (live), Josh Baker, and FUSE regular Traumer, who will be joined by Apollonia’s Shonky for a highly anticipated B2B set, much requested by fans.
“In the current climate of uncertainty, we can assure our customers that High Lights is going ahead” explains Fred Letts, co-founder of Percolate Music and High Lights. “We can’t wait to start our new venture and we have exciting long term plans for bringing innovative music events to Barking Park site”
But it’s not just about the beats; High Lights promises a feast for the eyes too, with bespoke architectural installations courtesy of Lucid Creates, the brains behind some of the UK’s most iconic event stages.
Lucid describes the design as a massive overhead installation sporting a brutalist, concrete facade. Complete with all the high-tech visuals we’ve grown accustomed to from the studio responsible for some of the UK’s grandest stages, including the mammoth Runway Stage at Creamfields Festival.
Carl Cox, hailed as one of the most charismatic DJs around, is thrilled to headline High Lights. “I’m really looking forward to bringing my signature sound to the stage at the all new ‘High Lights’ festival this Summer.” Carl explains. “You can catch me on Saturday 1st June. I’ll see you on the dance floor! Oh yes!!”.

COLOR.LOVE joins the Dumb Safari with her ‘Something Different’ EP
2 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
US artist COLOR.LOVE joins the Dumb Safari herd with a phenomenal two-track house EP alongside a remix from Daniel Orpi. 
COLOR.LOVE is a force of nature, a whirlwind of artistic expression who seamlessly blends the roles of DJ, producer, and live performance artist, with releases on Desert Hearts, Dirtybird, Glasgow Underground, Space Yacht, Spira, and Strangelove, among others. 
Driven by a desire to create a more immersive experience, during COVID, she developed her live show which incorporates a Roland TR8 drum machine, an RC505 Looper, and a vocal effects processor. This innovative approach allows her to create a dynamic soundscape that is both captivating and interactive.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZCYSROiE0Q?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




COLOR.LOVE has held residencies at LA’s most prestigious clubs, including Exchange & Academy, where she shared the stage with renowned DJs like Benny Benassi, Nora En Pure, Kevin Knapp, and Don Diablo. 
Her latest EP ‘Something Different’ lands on Huxley’s Dumb Safari, two originals backed up with a killer remix from Daniel Orpi (elrow, Kaluki). 
The title track is a deep, tribal-inflected house cut with rumbling low end, intricate percussion and an irresistibly heady rhythmic thrust. On his remix, Daniel Orpi ups the tempo, crafting a frenetic, pumping house workout, while completing the stellar package, Sweaty goes deep into trippy hypnotism complete with warped synth lines and a seductive vocal. 
We premiere ‘Something Different’ on Data Transmission, check it out here and grab it on Beatport.

5 Facts / 5 Tracks: GAWP
2 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Step into the rhythm of the night with ‘Sun Comes Up’ the vibrant Tech House sensation from British producer/DJ GAWP and dynamic duo, The Melody Men. 
Showcasing irresistible summer vocals that urge the listener to dance until dawn, this track sets the scene for endless nights of carefree celebration. Combining catchy melodies with succinct driving rhythms, ‘Sun Comes Up‘ captures the engaging spirit of summer, actively inviting audiences to lose themselves in the music until the break of day.
GAWP is no stranger to the revered Heldeep imprint. His previous releases include ‘Every Weekend’, ‘Moon’ and ‘Lost and Found‘. Outside of Heldeep Records, GAWP has released songs with leading imprints including 7Wallace (Aphrodisiac together with Gene Farris), Wh0 Worx, Toolroom and Sink or Swim. He has also performed across international main stages, headlining on multiple tours throughout the USA and UK as well as supporting Oliver Heldens (Heldeep Records label boss) on his USA tour back in 2019. 
We caught up with GAWP to find out 5 lesser-known facts and 5 tracks that he couldn’t live without…
5 Facts
In 1998, four 15/16 school friends headed to Ibiza for a two-week holiday that ended up shaping my future. This was back when the rules were so, so different. At the time, the currency was pesetas, and people used to illegally physically flyer in the streets. It was back before everyone had mobiles, so basically chaos! All we had were passports with letters from our parents stating we were going on a pool holiday and giving us permission to do so. But if they only knew we were going to Manumission and Clockwork Orange after watching VHS tapes of Ibiza Uncovered ’98. Any flying about on scooters with no driving license and laser pointers from the guys on the beach! I think the path I took might have been so different.
Before fully diving into DJing and music, I spent six years as a hairdresser during the day, all while pursuing my passion for music by DJing at night. Those early days behind the salon chair helped me save up for my first set of turntables. Or should I say one? Then my parents loaned me enough for the second Technics 1210 MK2, which I paid off over the summer holidays working as an apprentice.
Another fun fact: I once paid a parking ticket in pennies at a local council because I was so fed up with getting tickets from the club car park the next morning. Back then, the machines only accepted money from 9 am, and I was getting in at 4 am. It’s actually on YouTube somewhere, as I filmed it. Also, the law states you can reject anything over 20p if you want, yet did the lady know this? I’ve grown up since.
My parents have been so supportive. The next fact is that their living room is still a studio! It has double windows, doors, a concrete floating floor, and everything. It took 8 years to do it, as my dad started to create a listening room for music since the houses were so thin and badly built that the neighbours would complain. Once finished, only after one year, I moved to Leeds to pursue a career in radio production and opened my own studio in a business centre.
The next fact is random: I was in a duo called The Squatters, and we were huge in South Korea. We released an album there, and we once played at Guernsey Festival. Macy Gray wanted to get off the small plane we all flew on. I didn’t know if it was the tiny seats on it, but I know it took an hour to find her luggage and take off again! Not forgetting the time I told the Guernsey Times newspaper that Patrick Moore from Games Master was my grandad in an interview when he clearly wasn’t.
5 Tracks





Daft Punk – Around the World. 




First record I ever bought was Daft Punk – Around the World, I just loved the artwork and the guy in the record shop asked if I wanted to listen to it and I pretended to know what it was out of fear from the old blokes in the shop and wanted to get out. Luckily it was a timeless classic, great video and with the teachers on the b side. 





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0HSD_i2DvA?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=855]





Tin Tin Out – Strings For Yasmin (Original 12″ Mix)




Second choice would have to be Tin tin out – Yasmin for strings, such as euphoric tune that I used to hear on Ibiza Uncovered 98 prob first heard it at a club at Clockwork orange Es Paradise age 16. What a great year.. what a great soundtrack.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zDS__9ClaA?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=855]





Underworld – Bornslippy




Hitting the third selection with a absolute banger from Underworld, this was played from radio, clubs, films, festivals and so much more… I would class it as on the edge of techno with the big kick. Try name many other tracks that have had the broad plays like that with a style as such.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMrrleH_hI?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=855]





Kid Cudi vs. Crookers – Day ‘n’ Night




Lets take it up a few years, now Bot from The Crookers is great friend of mine and this was his old project, the guys were a huge influence on The Squatters project I was a part of with Alex Powell.. not knowing many years later we would be so close. Fun fact is Bot told me when they played the track out the dance floor didnt react well and they said they wouldnt put it out.. but too late their manager had already pitched it and here I am placing it with 204 Million Streams on this.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSWrepLjTKc?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]





Jocelyn Brown – Somebody Else’s Guy




As a music lover its always so hard to narrow down to 5 but here’s one of my fav classics… thanks for reading / listening.

GAWP & The Melody Men Join Forces With Brand New Single ‘Sun Comes Up’ On Heldeep
2 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Step into the rhythm of the night with ‘Sun Comes Up’ the vibrant Tech House sensation from British producer/DJ GAWP and dynamic duo, The Melody Men. 
Showcasing irresistible summer vocals that urge the listener to dance until dawn, this track sets the scene for endless nights of carefree celebration. Combining catchy melodies with succinct driving rhythms, ‘Sun Comes Up‘ captures the engaging spirit of summer, actively inviting audiences to lose themselves in the music until the break of day.
GAWP is no stranger to the revered Heldeep imprint. His previous releases include ‘Every Weekend’, ‘Moon’ and ‘Lost and Found‘. Outside of Heldeep Records, GAWP has released songs with leading imprints including 7Wallace (Aphrodisiac together with Gene Farris), Wh0 Worx, Toolroom and Sink or Swim. He has also performed across international main stages, headlining on multiple tours throughout the USA and UK as well as supporting Oliver Heldens (Heldeep Records label boss) on his USA tour back in 2019. 
The Melody Men are one of the most sought after current vocal and writing teams in the business following their work with Mark Knight, Martin Ikin, Mason, Ferreck Dawn, Reinier Zonneveld and many more. Their collaborations have seen them feature on global radio playlists, TV shows and also major ad campaigns.
“I loved making this track as we really geeked out in the studio, running the vocals in through the tubes and taking time to experiment with lots of drum machines and hardware. The final result is better than we expected! I feel like we bridged the underground and commercial appeal with the contrast from breakdown to drop and kept the original GAWP x Melody Men collaborative styles.” 
On ‘Sun Comes Up’, GAWP Says“Sun Comes Up” has garnered significant praise from industry heavyweights Claptone, Black V Neck, and Don Diablo, receiving early promo support. The track has also sparked considerable radio interest, with BBC Introducing, Don Diablo on Hexagon Radio, Alok Radio Show, Mike Williams’ set for On Track, Fedde Le Grand on Darklight Sessions, and Oliver Heldens on Heldeep Radio giving it priority airtime. This advance industry support underscores the high calibre of this collaboration and sets the scene for the track to remain on regular rotation all summer long.

1 May 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Introducing S.U.R.E. – an electrifying musical entity and conceptual endeavour that channels the pulsating energy of the 1990s UK rave scene, reimagined for today’s electronic music landscape.
With a fusion of contemporary innovation and nostalgic reverence, this dynamic duo has swiftly garnered acclaim for their inventive compositions and captivating performances. Their mission? To encapsulate the essence of the rave era while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of modern electronic soundscapes.
Their sonic offerings evoke a sense of déjà vu, transporting listeners back to the euphoric ambience of yesteryear while infusing it with a contemporary edge. S.U.R.E. pays homage to the foundational elements of rave culture while injecting their own distinctive flair, resulting in a seamless synthesis of past and present.
Witnessing S.U.R.E. live is an immersive journey, where each pulsating beat and resonant melody serves as a portal to a realm where time stands still and euphoria reigns supreme. Their performances transcend mere entertainment, offering a transformative experience that resonates deeply with audiences.
For those yearning to relive the glory days of 90s rave culture with a contemporary twist, S.U.R.E. stands as a beacon of authenticity and innovation. Prepare to be transported on a sonic odyssey unlike any other, where the echoes of the past converge with the possibilities of the future.
I’m really excited to bring S.U.R.E. to our Renegade Riddims series. they’ve created a banging new mix featuring a lot of old skool jungle from artists such as Rebel MC, Lennie De Ice, Renegade, Deep Blue, Goldie, Dillinja, Top Cat and more. They’ve thrown in some of their own edits and unreleased material for good measure! I reckon these guys have a big future ahead of them and I’m here for it…old skool and rave music will never die!!
Check out the mix below and download it for free here!


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1811966607" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
A tribute to the foundations and future of jungle music
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
The Ratpack – Searchin’ for my Rizla – it’s a quintessential 90s rave track; its infectious ragga energy and breakbeats perfectly captures early jungle’s rhythm and bass-heavy sound, and remains a staple in the genre’s legacy.
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
We hope our admiration and respect for the genre shines through and if anything else it’ll be great to dance to. Plus it includes some unreleased S.U.R.E. dubs!
Tell us about your next EP…
Our next EP is a release of our track “Here We Go Again” coming out on OZO Records. It’s a proper 90s throwback 4×4 rave stomper of a tune. Classic chops and breakbeats which’ll hopefully take you back to that era of dance music.
What have you got coming up?
In addition to the EP we also recently launched our label and studio in Shoreditch called Matter of Time.  
When was the last time you actually raved?
Our last proper rave together would’ve been towards the end of last year at The Warehouse Project in Manchester – killer lineup and plenty of dancing until the early hours.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
To quote the great Goldie; “If you’re gonna be good at something, be good at it. No matter what it is”
